And lo, our lord and savior descended from the heavens, and he sayeth: "Let there be a movie where Sonny Chiba rips a dude's rib out of his torso, as I did with Adam, but more awesome. And yea, there also shall be a guy who gets hit in the head so hard his eyeballs pop out. And let there be boobies, let them floweth freely. For this is my gift to thee, lovers of all that is Sonny Chiba Being Goddamn Awesome." (Proverbs 11:38)

A cop gets fired when an ill planned drug raid on some yakuza gets a bunch of other cops killed, so he teams up with a couple of ninjas to take down the gang one way or another. There's a lot of unnecessary and awkward buddy comedy moments, but Sonny Chiba doing ninja flips and ripping apart bad dudes with his bare hands never gets old. There's also a brief but kick-ass appearance by a young Yasuaki Kurata. I prefer the literal translation of the original title: "Direct Hit! Hell Fist"

It's like a Japanese blaxploit; over the top and extremely awesome action, brutal kills, awesome facial expressions and female nudity. Like Barthalen said: Chiba rips a dude's rib out of his torso. Just that gives this movie 75 points

Holy shit did this movie get good in the last act! The 1st act is okay and has some fun moments, the 2nd act is kind of dull, but the 3rd is batshit crazy fun, he climbs up a cliff using a grappling hook embedded in a dude's leg
