Raw Force

The poster is far better than the movie. Seriously, look at that thing. It's amazing.

A bunch of American doofuses on a cruise plan to visit "Warrior's Island" in the South China Sea, which is reportedly "where disgraced martial artists go to die, in hopes that the island's monks will raise them as undead warriors and give them a chance to redeem themselves". Sounds like a great vacation spot, no? It's got cannibal monks, kung fu zombies, a near constant parade of naked tits and asses, a bad guy with a Hitler mustache, and a breezy tone that never takes itself very seriously.

I'm not really sure what was going on but it was like a mash-up of B exploitation films. And what was the deal with the Hitler clone? Or they just happen to try to hijack a boat with martial arts kids? "The target audience for this film is a 17 year old"---I get it now. I didn't bother keeping track of the characters after awhile. Fav scene: getting out of the shower.

Very watchable, laid back exploitation flick with above average amount of boobs. Characters can be remembered by their 70's porn-staches (and villain's hitler-stache). Plot is just crazy; considering the amount of coolness (boobs, piranhas, zombie kung-fu fighters, cannibal monks) packed into this film, it's surprisingly coherent. Fight scenes were slightly disappointing; not much effort put into them. When I think about it, not much effort was put in this whole movie.

Cheap, exploitative, and ridiculous, to be sure. But to the film's credit it works with what it's got - it doesn't lag, it has its tongue firmly in cheek, and it isn't afraid to soar far above "over the top" or dive below "bottom of the barrel" If you're looking for cheap thrills and mindless sleaze, this film delivers.

Although this exploitation B-movie isn't quite as much wild fun as one might expect after reading a description which features cannibal monks, piranhas, zombies, kung-fu, and an evil gang lead by not-Hitler, the film however, stays a generally entertaining watch throughout for fans of low-rent schlock.

Very fun shlockfest. Zombies, kung fu, and lots of nudity. Nuff said.

Surprisingly bland considering that it contains, for starters, cannibal monks, zombies and kung-fu. The 1st half is a kind of ultra-sleazy version of Love Boat while the 2nd part takes place in the "Warrior's Island". It's totally ridiculous and occasionally entertaining, but characters are not interesting and fight scenes lacking. It sounds like the perfect exploitation film on paper, but somehow the whole is a lot less than the sum of it's parts. I'll stick to Miami Connection and Mad Foxes.

This is a weirdly entertaining movie, where the comedy fails but the rest was worth laughing at.

After the cornucopia of tits and asses have been paraded in front of you, the movie takes a turn to karate film with a neverending line-up of Philippino ninjas. Never would have thought that be the boring part of any film.

Pretty awesome, even if Wynorski refused to leave any tits in the cutting room. That guy Speer who looks like Hitler must be up to no good!

This is B movie at its best - completely ridiculous plot, goofy characters with outrageous mustaches, delicious nudity galore, and those crazy cannibal monks who keep laughing insanely all the time.. pure trash fun! Watch with some mates and a keg of beer, satisfaction guaranteed!

Very entertaining. On the blu-ray, Jim Wynorski claims to be the uncredited editor of this.

Super entertaining over the top mess.

I can't at all say this is a good movie. But I also can't say it's not entertaining as hell.
