- What a shame. In our time, it was time to abandon these archaic methods, but everything repeats itself again - the "yellow" villain tortures the "white" hero and how does it all end interesting? The old cop had three sons. The elder nobleman was a child and fought in Vietnam, and then the bar contained. It was medium and dry. Junior was a fool. He was known as an adventurer, but he did not find happiness, but found the same fool of trouble a whole bag, and he dragged his family into it, and then he evaded problems by saying goodbye to life. And now in the family of an old cop trouble - a funeral on the nose, that's just the yakuza demands money and a precious statuette that was the youngest son-moron, and so furious Japanese muzzles that the war is declared to the American cop. But the descendants of sullen samurai do not know that the former cowboy does not play games. And meets the enraged hero Lee Van Kleef of the Japanese bandits with bread, and salt, and to be exact, a bullet, and dynamite. This is the “Armed Resistance”, will you master it to the end a hero?
- Thoughtful. - Yeah, I'm not a versewriter, okay. So, before us is a film that is as simple as two pennies, in which good actors starred in both main and secondary roles and which looks somewhat naive in our age of high technology, but which at the same time meets all the laws of the genre. There is a storyline that is straight as a rail and that just can’t help but end in a mass shootout. There are stern heroes who stare gloomyly from under the bushy eyebrows and instead of soaking jokes, shoot at the bad guys. The characters of Lee Van Cliff and David Carridin will regret and self-digging much later, but in the meantime they need to protect their family and at all costs stop the yakuza (which is mostly American, but who cares?). There is a place for betrayal of your best friend, but what without it? There will be a fatal beauty, whose role is small, but this girl can rightfully be called the “iron lady”. Well, as for the bad guys, then there are enough of them in the film, there is a charming pimp who stole a memorable statuette, there is a yakuza leader performed by a terribly overplaying Mako (This is actually the calling card of the actor, so let it be with him), and of course there is the hero of Macla Berryman - a harsh and verbose killer in the service of the yakuza, who by his appearance already attracts the eye to his person (I wonder why there was no movie series where this actor would play the role of an an an antagonist?). So there are bad guys here, and let their characters be stereotypical, but for this kind of film, it’s forgivable. What else? Music? She is, but she couldn’t remember anything. Action? He is quite simple, but he copes with his work. Thus, before the viewer there is a film watching which you can relax and relax after a hard day’s work, but is it possible to want more from such films?
