The Perfect Weapon (1991)
Director: Mark DiSalle
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
On the sliding scale of high-kicking action heroes, Jeff Speakman chops in a long way beneath the Chuck Norrises and Jean-Claude Van Dammes of the martial arts world. He's a nifty enough mover, but boasts rather less charisma than the average PE instructor. Here, he's one of those quiet loner types. When his spiritual guru is murdered by a rampaging gang of Koreans, he takes instant revenge in the usual fashion.Author: GM
