Yes the Awesome team up magic is back with Roddy Piper & Billy Blanks in TOUGH & DEADLY!!!
Their first B-movie action gem "Back to Action" was an explosive piece of low-budget action & again they're Back!!!
Roddy Piper was awesome back in the days of video & gave us some awesome B-movie greats like John Carpenter's The Live & The Bad Pack & Jungleground, just to name a few of his impressive filmography. Piper went from Wrestling superstar to home video action hero & had a very likeable screen presence, RIP Piper, I'm a big fan.
Also the cool & sweaty martial arts master Billy Blanks was also pretty awesome back in the video era & made a name for himself on home video with a decent amount action-packed kung-fu films like TC2000 & Expect No Mercy & Talons of the Eagle, just to name a few.
There's definitely a nice bit of friendly chemistry between these two action stats in their two movies & make for a cool duo.
Tough & Deadly is an action-packed thriller full of bone-crunching fist fights & explosive bullet ridden action & a dose of witty banter & fun humour. Another plus for this B-movie gem is the casting of Lisa Stahl as Mo, the friendly & nice natured secretary of Pipers Tough Private Detective Elmo. Piper is great as Elmo & created a memorable character & equally great is Blanks as a man without a name, as he lost his memory but only knows himself as Quicksilver.
Quicksilver teams up Private Eye Elmo to uncover his dark past & take down a local crime syndicate in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is filmed well & we get a few kick-ass bar fights (like 48 Hrs) many hard punches to everybody lol. Blanks kicks the crap outta everybody & the film is a no holds barred actioner from beginning to end.
Simply a totally enjoyable old school 90's DTV B-movie with two awesome action stars beating & shootings their way through LA.
