| Only The Strong (1993) Cast:Mark Dacascos,Stacey Travis,Geoffrey Lewis, Paco Christian-Prieto Mark Dacascos plays an amry ranger who teaches troubled kids martial arts to help keep them away from gangs and drugs but one ganglord (Prieto) decides to throw his weight around and Dacascos must fight him to protect his students in this obnoxious and laughable clunker The problem with Only The Strong is that it runs out of steam after the first reel, so the movie just drags on with banality.Dacascos may indeed be an easier action star to hack then most, but this movie is so ridiculous and hideously boring that it inspires laughter and daydreams from the audience. Unfortunately it's not funny enough to make this even worth a look for martial arts camp fans.. To make matters worse Only The Strong features some of the silliest and poorest choreography this side of Gymkata.. Overall the title is appropriate because only the strong will stay awake through this drivel. Others will laugh that this turns into a message movie! D.Sheldon Lettich.* |
