Kickboxing champ Jerry Pelt (Jerry Trimble) is the One Man Army of the title. Not that he dons khaki or anything, it's just that Jerry proves more than a match for a batalion of bad guys. It seems that a small-town bigwig has arranged for the murder of Jerry's grandfather. With the law on the villains' side, Jerry has no recourse but to kick, poke and jab away. There's hardly an original moment in One Man Army, but who goes to these movies for their plots? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Cat Sassoon fronts this Roger Corman produced martial arts adventure that tells the tale of a tough LA cop who heads to Manila to investigate the murder of her sister. She was working there as a kickboxing FBI agent who photographed the execution of a US military man. Before she is killed, she hands the potentially damning film to a stripper so she can keep it from the perpetrators, the notorious freedom fighters of the Black Brigade. Once officer Katara arrives she is immediately warned by the government to stay out of the situation, but she disobeys and creates all sorts of problems for everyone involved. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
