I had to write a review for this movie based on the ones that are saying gory, non stop action, great movie.. These people were obviously watching a different movie. Killpoint honestly sucked from the word go!! I kept waiting and waiting for this film to get better and it was to no avail. Some said this movie was brutal and others said gory but I can't find either of those adjectives actually showing up in this, I mean hell there are so many scenes with people getting shot and there being no blood at all it's not even funny!! I guess the best way to sum this up is it probably should've been rated PG by 1984 standards and now in the year 2010 there is no doubt this would be PG!! Bad, BAD not in the fun cheesy "B" variety movie!!

Some good fight scenes and stunts. The big disappointment is we only see Bill Wallace for maybe 30 sec on screen sparring with the main character. Bill W. was a legend, a karate guy back in the 80's. The movie is very slow until the end when they bust the bad guys. I'm a big fan of B movies but this is one belongs in the dollar discount bin at the local rental store.It's a pity they didn't have Bill Wallace go up against the bad guys, he's a great martial artist.

KILLPOINT (1984) pits "dangerous" police detective Fong and ATF agent Richard Roundtree against gangster Cameron Mitchell and his stone-faced second-in-command Stack Pierce, who've stolen a load of weapons from a nearby military depot for resale to the city's gangs, who in turn use them to shoot up restaurants and supermarkets for kicks. The "high" point of the picture (or low point, depending on your POV) is Mitchell's performance, which is so detached and dazed that it's tough to tell if he's acting or just really, really plastered for much of his screen time, which is spent passively-aggressively canoodling with his pet poodle and killing those who irritate him in even the most perceived of ways, and giving Pierce plenty of reason to suspect that his boss is turning gay. Even on autopilot, Roundtree proves to be the consummate professional, delivering a solid performance that outshines virtually everyone around him.

This movie is very violent, yet exciting with original dialog and cool characters. It has one of the most moving stories and is very true to life. The movie start off with action star Leo Fong as a down and out cop who is approaching the end of his career, when he stumbles on to a big case that involves corruption, black mail and murder. This is where the killings start. From start finish Fong delivers in this must see action caper. This movie also co-stars Richard Roundtree. I really enjoyed this film as a child but as I got older I realized that this film is pretty cheesy and not very good. I would not recommend this film and the action is very, very bad.

Essentially plotless action film has two good guys (Fong and Roundtree) pitted against two bad guys (Mitchell and Pierce). Fong is perhaps the most uncharismatic action lead of the 80s, Roundtree's small part is a far cry from his "Shaft" days, and Cameron Mitchell adds another shameful role to his career, one to sit right next to his laughable turn in "The Toolbox Murders" (this man was a respected actor once, now he has come down to wearing flowers in his hair and complaining about people bleeding on his carpet). Only Stack Pierce acts with some dignity. As for the violence, don't worry: most of it is too badly done to offend anyone. (*1/2)

After an armory gets robbed, Nighthawk (Stack Pierce) and Joe Marx (Cameron Mitchell) set themselves up as Riverside, California's sole gun dealer, wiping out a Chinese restaurant. Soon grocery stores are getting shot up with automatic weapons. ATF agent Bill Bryant (Richard Roundtree) is called in and works with Detective Long (Leo Fong) who has his own issues. Cameron Mitchell gives us an unusual character, a so bad it's good character as he wears an ascot and pampers a poodle while being the bad guy. There is some martial art fighting. 1 F-word and Brief dancer nudity. Available on multi-packs and U-tube.

Perpetual second tier renter from my days back at the video store this film has Leo Fong and Richard Roundtree teaming up to battle a gang that has stolen a cache of weapons from the military. Good action mixes with procedural sequences that have a certain amount of realism (which seems to slow everything down). The film itself is far from realistic, but at the same time it's a good distracting bit of action. When I was working at a video store back in the VHS days this film was constantly coming and going simply because it was the sort of action film that entertains in ways that many bigger budgeted films fail to do. Is it the be all and end all? Absolutely not, the film is little more than a low budget shoot 'em up, but at the same time it does what it does and then gets off. Worth a look on a slow night.

What an amazing movie this is ... a true classic masterpiece! Inspiring dialogues and amazing martial arts techniques will take your breath away ... Highly recommended! I really look forward to see a remake of this movie with the original cast (if they're still alive and well) . Many action movies that are more popular and well-known are more or less based on the plot of Kill Point ... the plot is one of a kind;originality is one of the qualities of this movie that is clear to see. Let us hope that this movie company will produce more brilliant products like these and enjoy other great movies featuring Leo Fong in the meantime ... Last but not least I would like to propose the concept of a sitcom based on this movie;that would be truly amazing ...

There are a lot of poor things in this film but here are some of things that I liked. 1. Cameron Mitchell as the unhinged villain Joe Marks. 2. Stack Pierce as the more hinged villain Nighthawk. 3. Some nice helicopter shots. 4. Danene Pyant as the striking lady chauffeur. 5. Sparky the Poodle 6. The end credits song 'Living On The Inside' performed by Ramona Gibbons. Apart from that it was disjointed and unexciting.
