Showdown

For starters: This movie is nothing without Billy Blanks. Although the main character really is OK, it's Blanks who give this movie all the musclepower it needs. Initially, the whole movie seems like the most low-budgeted and poorly acted (and written) high-school movie ever, but all of that changes when Blanks comes into business. I really liked his role in this one, as the calm and lone janitor who long ago retired from the fighting scene (of course). When he decides to help our hero, we get the classic training scenes with great background music. Pretty standard like many other movies of this kind, but it always works. Cool fighting at the end, even though I've seen better. This movie proves that you don't need that much money to make an entertaining movie.
