Instant Death is like a 70's grindhouse exploitation film on speed. Okay, I have to say, I have been an Arnold Schwarzenegger fan since I saw "Predator" in 1987. Technically, can Arnold "act"? No. But people that is NOT what you watch an action movie for. You want acting? Watch Shakespeare. Lou Ferrigno is a delight to see and watch. Unlike Steven Seagal, Lou hasn't "let himself go" physically. On the contrary, Lou Ferrigno is arguably in the best shape of his life in this film. Thanks to Director / Producer Ara Paiaya for digging up this 80's icon and bringing him back to the mainstream better than he has ever looked, acted and for creating such an action packed melodrama. I was a kid in the late 70's/early 80's, one of my favorite TV shows was the cult classic "The Incredible Hulk". Like it even more now at the age of 50! Aren't I terrible?! Watch "Instant Death" for what it is. A KICK-BUTT action film by a body building LEGEND!

Like a throw back to the 80's
1 May 2016
Most definitely a guy's movie. It has a very nice retro feel to it. Like a throw back to the 80's. Classic cast of Hollywood veterans seen for the first time all together. Blood, guts and a lot of action from the start to the end. The best part is Gary Daniels he has never looked better and finally the fight scenes are done right with a Hong Kong flavor and in a Hollywood movie. He gives the proper intensity and he's back to his best performance ever!. Damn he looks good for 50 years + old! Essentially it's an all star cast movie about a hit man who kills hundreds of bad men to avenge a dead hooker and save her little sister from human trafficking. Prepare to watch the hero engage in hand-to-hand combat, then shoot, one person after another, non-stop, for the entire 97 minute run time of this movie. Every scene has a famous face in it and it's one for the action movie collection especially for fans of all these Hollywood legends.
