80s style cheesy fighting action. A young Gary Daniels is in this if you are a fan!

One Nice Surprise

"I picked up this DVD because, every now and then, I enjoy watching the bad martial arts movies that came out of the 1980s and 1990s. This is definitely one of those, with a typical story line, bad cinematography, and the expected over acting.



The one thing that I was surprised about is that a very young, very hot Scott Shaw appears in this film as the bad guy cohort of David Carradine. At least for me, that made this movie worth the watch."

Thats your Capitol Punishment!

"Dear Gary Daniels, please never stop making movies! The wolrd would no doubt be a sader place without your epic films.

So, Capitol Punishment, never mind the cover this isn't "Gary goes to prison" I'm pretty sure the graphics guys didn't watch the movie and just assumed because the film was called "Capitol Punishment" it was a prison flick, well, it isn't. What it is almost defys explanation, Gary is some sort of fighter, ok. Gary gets taken in by DEA agents to do a mission, ok. Gary fights some guy who he's supposed to "kill" so this guy can get into witness protection with no qwestions asked....ummm...ok. After that Gary gets chased and double and then triple crossed by DEA guys, assulted by drug dealers, rouge cops, bikers, people hanging out in amusement parks, bums, and whatever extras the producers manged to give 10 bucks to to have Gary beat them into pulps. And in the end he has to face his former master turned drug lord as well as David Carradine as ...some guy with a phone. I think that was the story anyway, I would have given it just 2 stars but there are some pretty cool deaths that made me "ohh" and "ahh" Other then that if it raining out, and hailing and your xbox breaks, and all your books burn, and your phone is unhooked and you just need something to do, you might pop this baby in and try to uncover the mysteries of the universe as Gary beats down thug number 59."
