Note : I, for one, think Kung Fu Cannibals is a much better title than Raw Force, but that might just be me. In either case, it's a film that could only have been made in one decade of human history, and under the influence of one particular drug, being the 80s and cocaine, respectively. Oh, and there's a tiny appearance by Camille Keaton from I Spit On Your Grave.

The Burbank Karate Club (yes, very specific) travel to the Island of Raw Force, where various cannibals, zombies, and kung fu masters have been banished forever, and have to fight their way out. That it, that's the movie. Goodbye.

This is a surprisingly decent-looking remaster for this kind of film. The cinematography doesn't amount to much, but you're definitely getting all of what there is here, and same for the sound. I'm kind of sorry there isn't a commentary track or anything, because I'm sure there are some good stories about this one.
