This is such a cool movie and the basic principals, although splattered with the blood of many a men, are honorable and you can learn a lesson. I was very impressed by the writer/director/star of the film who yes if you watch Spike TV, you have seen his face on the slandered Takeshi's Castle AKA Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. MUST SEE!!!!

Rating: 4 1/2 of 5 stars
