dusted the ol vhs off from the vaults and found it to be

HORRIBLE...to be honest i would love to see some of his other korean efforts

kill line is an american martial arts film written and starring him. i was expecting MUCH more competent choreography given his status as a korean action star

so how good are his other films?

anyone?

I used to have this flick on vhs years ago and agree, it was aweful. Bobby Kim was trying to be like a Korean Charles Bronson with his pencil mustache and that ugly big teeth cop was really irritating lol. The acting was laughable of course but most importantly the fight scenes sucked as well. This is the only film I've seen Kim in but saw in a magazine years ago about him starring in a western called The Manchurian Avenger and he supposedly has a fight with Bill Wallace, it would be interesting to see that. Kim was a well known TKD instructor out of Colorado, don't know if he's still there or if he's still teaching.

LOL that's true...Kill Line was pretty bad. He was the only good martial artist of the entire cast in that film. I saw it as a 2-DVD set with one of his Korean films, Deadly Kick (Wangryong), where he co-starred with the late Lo Lieh. He was a lot better in Deadly Kick. He had a non-fighting role in one of my favorite B-movies, American Chinatown, as the friend of Henry Taejoon Lee's gangster who becomes his conscience.

I've seen MAD FOR VENGEANCE. It's been years, but I remember Bobby Kim being pretty good in it.

I picked this movie up not long ago on DVD. It was a double dvd set with Deadly Kick, on Image DVD, so I thought it'd be good quality, and it was being sold rather high price, sometimes I'd see it on sale for 7.99$ but passed it up, then one day, it was on a sale table for 1.00$, so I got it. I haven't watched either yet, but the image quality was very bad, and I am glad I didn't pay more than 1.00$. Shame on Image DVD for putting this out like this.
