This film is a kind of David meets Goliath story told in martial arts terms. Young Jason Stillwell (Kurt McKinney) moves with his parents to Seattle, where local bullies harass them without mercy. Jason's father Tom (Tim Baker) does not believe in violence, so the family takes it on the chin. One day Jason enrolls in a martial arts class and quietly rises in rank to be a major contender. His mettle is tested in an international match against Ivan, a Russian champion (Jean-Claude Van Damme), expanding the "enemy" beyond Seattle's borders. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Gun Girls is the sort of film where one has trouble concentrating on the story for fear that the sets are going to collapse. The story concerns a female hold-up gang whose slimy male fence keeps them supplied with drugs and sex. One of the girls is impregnated by the fence, whereupon a seedy, drink-sodden surgeon is called in to "fix things." When another of the girls is killed in a service station shootout, the law closes in. At times it's hard to tell whether the moviemakers took this one seriously or not. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
