another silver star production from the Philippines, with Richard Harrison who have no time to act(admitting he can) in this short (less than 80 min)and pitifully "Death Wish" Rip-off,where He must avenge a rape/murder attack on his son and his girlfriend by a bunch of armed thugs.So he put his best red jogging suit(from Lee major bionic time)and kill a lot of people.Simple story with really nothing new in sight.Made by Terry Page and starring also the usual Mike Monty, James Gaines and Ann Milhench. Only Doris Wishman fans could appreciate this one, I'm one of them but it's not funny enough to have great redeeming value.Not worth seeking, but watchable in the good state of mind with few friends if you find it cheap.

A Vigilante Under the Gun
Filmfandave15 May 2008
This is one of Silver Star film productions - a Filipino film company that also released a number of other awful films played by their regular stars (Richard Harrison, Bruce Baron, Romano Kristoff) and their list of regular supporting casts (some familiar faces keep on showing up - Mike Monty, Jim Gaines, Don Gordon Bell). During the mid-eighties, Silver Star churned out quite a lot of low-budget low quality trashy action and war films: Fireback, Hunter's Crossing, Rescue Team, Mad Dog, Ninja's Force and Slash (a Rambo rip- off), to name a few. Watching these films, you may be entertained - for the wrong reasons!
Mark Collins (Richard Harrison), an ex-Vietnam veteran turns into a vigilante after witnessing some low-lives killed his daughter in cold blood. However, unknown to him, a ruthless businessman named Bill (Mike Monty) - who is planning to recruit him to do his dirty work - is having him under surveillance while he is going on his vengeance spree. Unable to force him to comply, Bill dispatches his goons to kidnap his beautiful wife. Realizing that his wife is under the mercy of a ruthless businessman, Collins has no other option but to carry out Bill's orders.
Working under cover with a hit woman, who is under the same predicament as he is, Collins begins wiping out everyone on Bill's hit list only to discover eventually that Bill has something up his sleeve for his hired killers.
There are lots of bad things to see: bad acting, bad script, bad directing, everything is just bad. It's plain to see that the writer or producer was inspired by Death Wish II. The first 30 minutes of the plot resembles that movie while the other half extends the plot about the vigilante being under the gun. This film, like all other Silver Star productions, tries very hard to westernize its production design despite the fact that it was made in the Philippines. Unfortunately, however hard they tried, this is still a clunker.
I was a teen when I saw this at the cinema and could even feel how bad it was. However that didn't stop me from watching more films of Silver Star productions because I was expecting to get a good laugh from seeing something so-bad-it's-good.
If this should make its way to DVD, only lovers of 'so-bad-it's- good' movies need watch it. Others stay away!

Richard Wants To Make Sure He Kills The Right People.
mikecanmaybee7 June 2020
Even looking not so hot with an ill advised mustache and showing his 50 years Richard Harrison (Mark Collins) brings this one over the top with an able assist from Jim Gains (Peter). After seeing his daughter gunned down Mark sets out for vengeance which involves vengeance killing followed by a massive amount of additional killing after his lovely wife Yvette (Ann Jackson) is kidnapped. Along the way he is joined by a hit woman partner Liza (Ann Milhench) who does a nice job in the action scenes. The days of having a Pat Woodall, Angelique Pettyjohn, or Pam Grier in a Filipino "B" movie were by 1985 over. Director Teddy Page was a little sadistic and rough edge in this one with some quite graphic scenes, but with the head of the local syndicate Bill (Mike Monty) aided by, in one of his finest roles, Jim Gains as Peter, the real brains of the operation, the story comes together enough to recommend Blood Debt. Richard Harrison isn't quite at his best in this one as his action leading man days were on their last legs. It's a pity that Richard did not have as good of a second career as a character actor as he did in his youth with some great performances including Bob Fleming Secret Agent Fireball.
Generic action movie: the fightening
benjaminweber30 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This feels like what would happen if you gave some guy you just met a camcorder and a special effects budget for an action movie. Nothing is done competently. I couldn't tell whether the opening shot (a quick zoom-out from a close-up of a can of Dr Pepper) was deliberate product placement, or whether the director had seen product placement in another film and thought that this was a legitimate film-making technique. The acting is hilariously bad, the fighting is unrealistic, and what little there is of the plot makes no sense. Fortunately it's mainly just the main character wandering around murdering random people.
Character motivation is seemingly alien to this film. Characters often behave entirely irrationally, such as when Mark Collins (the character, not the special effects supervisor of exactly the same name) murders the son of a man who has his wife hostage, and who explicitly told him he has his wife hostage to control him. There are even two scenes of the police department, featuring policemen sitting in an office praising the actions of a serial killer! Even when characters seem to have a motivation, they will forget it entirely after a couple of scenes.
Maybe the sound is okay, you say? Be prepared for a film that literally spams the sound effect from the Batman TV series (when the bat symbol flashes up before the opening credits) as a soundtrack! But for true incompetence, just wait until the end of the film, when after Mark blows up the bad guy it just suddenly ends, with a quick screen of text explaining he later handed himself into the authorities and began serving a life sentence as triumphant music blares! Remember the death of Poochie in that one Simpsons episode? Here's where they got the idea!

My daughter got raped and murdered, I'm...somewhat annoyed
Sandcooler30 March 2015
Back in the magical 1980s the Filipino Silver Star Company had one big dream: making authentic American action flicks in their own neighbourhood. I mean, who's going to know? Just fly in some token American actors who peaked at least two decades ago, have them say any old action cliché that you can come up with in an afternoon and give it a violent title, it'll work. Unfortunately, the dirt cheap production values and clearly Asian surroundings can occasionally hurt the illusion. Silver Star's favorite token American was without a doubt Richard Harrison, this was the fifth movie he did for the company. By now unfortunately he has tremendous trouble hiding the boredom and disgust he feels for projects like these, which is sad because "Blood Debts" is by far the best Filipino movie he did (whatever that means).
What I love most about "Blood Debts" is that it doesn't take time explaining anything, because there's nothing to explain. You know from the first minute on that it's going to be a "Death Wish" rip-off, you know it will just be Harrison randomly blowing away scum for ninety minutes. Who cares where he went to high school or whether he likes long walks on the beach, it would just eat up murder time. His wife doesn't even have a name and she's in like six scenes. That's basically the main (only?) value these movies have. The makers know they don't have much skill in writing, directing or virtually any aspect of filmmaking, so they go for broke and give the audience exactly what it wants. I can respect that kind of attitude, it makes "Blood Debts" highly enjoyable. Bonus points for the "huh?" of an ending, it's less dumb than the ending to "Fireback" (another Silver Star production with Harrison in the lead) but definitely not by much.

For the sillier side of the revenge drama, do check out Blood Debts!

Mark Collins (Harrison) is a Vietnam vet whose daughter, Sarah (Catherine Miles), and her fiancé, are both shot dead by thugs. Taking matters into his own hands, he searches all over the Philippines to find and execute the culprits. But while he was carrying out his revenge missions, he was being watched by two mysterious figures, Peter (Gaines) and Bill (Monty). They like his style so much, they hire him to kill some more criminals. They even team him up with a former mob hitwoman named Liza (Milhench). You'd think Collins would be in hog heaven, now being paid to do what he loves best. But all is not as it seems, and after some twists and turns, we truly see who has to pay up on the BLOOD DEBTS...
This movie kicks off with what might be one of the best openings ever. We certainly won't spoil it for you, but it sets the scene perfectly. But then, why wouldn't it - this is a gem from fan-favorite director Teddy Page, a man known for killer openings. He directed Phantom Soldiers (1987) after all. But here he reunites with his Fireback (1983) stars Harrison and Milhench and the results are silly fun at its best. His use of slow motion, seemingly one of his trademarks, is on full display here.
Funny dubbing, classic clothing, funky music, and that timeless Filipino sense of incoherence reign, and these are all the things that make a great time in front of the old VCR. The movie is clearly inspired by Death Wish (1974) but it takes the formula in some interesting directions. Plus, Harrison's wardrobe, the staple of which seems to be "track suit with no shirt", can best be described as the "Casual Bronson". After all, you want to be flexible and comfortable if you're tracking down and killing large numbers of people. Harrison is credited with being a co-writer of the movie, I wonder if any of that was in the script? And did we mention the dubbing? It was nice seeing Harrison in a non-ninja role, and there's even a scene at a liquor store called "Harrison house of wine". Is that just a coincidence? His foil, Ann Milhench, is beautiful as Liza, pronounced "Leeza", apparently pre-dating the meteoric rise of talk show host Leeza Gibbons. Milhench has only been in six movies, and we've seen four of them (this and the aforementioned Fireback, plus Nine Deaths of the Ninja (1985) and the awful Sloane (1986). ) 1985 was a great year for her, as she did half her career in that golden year. It should also be mentioned that Willie Williams has a small role as Julius, Collins' informant and confidante.
You've just got to love Continental Video for releasing this. Just for the two wacky on-screen title cards seen in the movie, it's worth seeing. For the sillier side of the revenge drama, do check out Blood Debts.

Mark, the vile vigilante, cannot wait to shoot you!
Coventry29 June 2023
Ladies and gentlemen, may we present to you... Mr. Teddy Page! The name doesn't exactly sound like he's a cinematic genius, and you probably won't ever find the films he made on any best-of lists. Still, Teddy Page hasn't disappointed me yet, and the same cannot be said about his more famous compatriots from the Philippines, like Cirio H. Santiago and Eddie Romero.
Teddy non-stop made and released cheap and straightforward action/exploitation flicks during the 80s and early 90s. Obviously none of them reach a half-decent quality level in terms of plotting or continuity, and the acting performances and stunt work are often downright laughable. But our good friend Teddy did one thing extremely well, namely never wasting time on boring introductions or the overlong building up of tension. "Blood Debts", for instance, is basically a blatant imitation of the Charles Bronson classic "Death Wish", only ... faster! Within the first three minutes of the film, a bunch of idiotically laughing rednecks rape and murder the daughter (and her fiancé) of proud mustache-wearing Vietnam veteran Mark Collins. Barely another ten minutes later, Mark already finished avenging his daughter and single-handedly massacred the five culprits responsible. I'm not even sure if he really wanted revenge, or just needed an excuse to shoot up random thugs!
In case you wonder what else can happen throughout the remaining 70 minutes, don't worry! Mark joyously continues to play the angry vigilante and even shoots hoodlums in the head for stealing a miserable $200. The script loses its last little bit of sense when Mark's wife gets kidnapped, and he gets forced to work as a contract killer. Mark enjoys firing bullets into criminals so much that he doesn't realize he's doing the dirty work for a rivaling drug cartel, and he certainly doesn't seem in a hurry to rescue his wife. The police are also doing their part by sipping coffee around a desk and secretly rooting for the anonymous avenger. The climax is fabulous and legendary (within very secluded cult-cinema circles, at least), and involves homemade bazookas, flare guns and the most abrupt freeze-frame ending in history.
In case you and your friends like absurdly over-the-top exploitation from the Philippines, complete with atrocious acting from a washed-up American star (Richard Harrison) and dialogues so preposterous they make your head spin, this is your Saturday night main feature! Completely free of charge, we'll also throw in gratuitous nudity, cheesy romantic montages, musical scores shamelessly stolen from other films, and a goofball golfing incident. Final tip, make it a double-feature with Teddy Page's equally bonkers "Movie in Action"!

Trashy, Filipino take on Death Wish
CobraMist8 April 2021
While a little unevenly paced, Blood Debts delivers as a trashy, Filipino action flick. It offers many of the hallmarks of such a film: poorly acted death scenes, takes that started before the actor realized he should be speaking, camera work that looks like it was done by adolescents, and dialog that is not only delivered poorly but sounds like it hastily written on napkins minutes before the camera rolled.
The plot is ludicrous and offers up plenty of hilarious moments as seemingly every criminal in the Philippines gets a bullet from Harrison. The music sounds like it belongs to a family friendly, Chuck Norris flick even while Harrison is plugging rapists. Most of the characters move with all the grace and fluidity of a bad video game.
It does lag a bit in the middle but the rest of it more then successful enough to consider this a very solid, trashy, actioner.

Bargain Basement Death Wish
rjun6726 April 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Films of the Filipino Z-Movie genre are always tricky to rate, I mean they aren't just bad, they are REALLY BAD! However, they have plenty of mindless violence to keep you on your seat for 90 minutes, and the plots are so basic that a 4 year old can keep up with the proceedings! This obvious 'Death Wish' rip-off is no exception. When you mix Silver Star productions with director, Teddy Page, you know you're gonna get value for the $1 you spent on the video!
Enough background already, let's get to the plot (if you can call it that!). So, we see a couple of love birds having a picnic in the park, when they are attacked by a gang of local thugs, who want to do sex with the girl, the boyfriend gets killed and the girl escapes to her house (probably 2 feet from the park), where she runs screaming towards her dad, the gang in hot pursuit, kill the girl as well as wounding her dad. BIG MISTAKE!... Her pop is Silver Star's own Terminator.... Richard Harrison! (this time playing Mark Collins, ex Vietnam vet). At this point you know there ain't gonna be no survivors, and to make his point Harrison dons his trademark, red Steve Austin tracksuit, and sets out on a one man Crusade! After wiping out the gang responsible for killing his daughter, Collins decides to kill anyone he perceives as scum! He kills drug dealers, he kills muggers and he kills rapists (who seem to be round every corner in the Philippines).
Unknown to Collins, he has been watched by a powerful drug baron, Bill (Mike Monty), who has decided to kidnap Collins's wife, to get our hero to bump off his rivals. When Collins returns home he finds his wife gone and a list of demands from the anonymous abductor, strangely enough, he will also be paid for his services! Enter Silver Star's favourite leading lady... Ann Milhench, who plays Liza, a sexy, but unconvincing, ex hit woman. She has been sent by the kidnappers to help Collins on his mission of murder! (we eventually find out that her son is being held by the kidnappers, so she is in the same predicament as Collins). Together they destroy just about everyone in the city. Liza is killed on one of the missions, but before she expires, gives Collins information about the kidnappers. Collins learns that Bill is behind the kidnap and has used him and Liza (with a Zee) to clean out the competition!
Now exposed, Bill calls Collins to inform him his wife will be freed and he will also get paid. But as his wife shows up (in a rust- bucket car), a bomb in the vehicle explodes, killing her! (this doesn't make much sense, but what the Hell!). Collins cranks up the body count in his vengeful fury, eventually fighting his way into Bill's stockade (or golf course by the look of it!), and in the final (blink and you will miss it!) battle, blows him up with the help a mini rocket launcher strapped to his wrist!
As in 'Fireback's' end credits, we get a pointless screen shot epilogue about Collins handing himself in to the authorities, and serving a life sentence! This film stars all the usual crowd from the U.S. ex-pat, cocaine snorting community, and the dialogue and random plot are as diabolically hilarious as always! Mike Monty has some of the best lines (all unintentionally side-splitting!), such as, "I need you to recruit more pimps, and pushers"!
Blood Debts, should be released on DVD, the film is appallingly bad in every way imaginable, the script could have been written on the back on a Coco Pops packet and the location doesn't look anything like the USA (where it is supposed to be set). But when all is said and done, the action starts in the first minute and finishes at literally the last second, with no letting up in-between. It's a film that doesn't need a strong plot, we want shooting and killing.. and that's what we get! One minor complaint are the name's, I mean Collins's wife is credited as 'Mark's Wife' and calling the chief villain 'Bill' is not very sinister, perhaps 'Bill Zager' or 'Bill Fortuna' but not just 'Bill'.....please!
Anyhow that aside, it's a very easy and ultimately rewarding film to watch. You will never forget it, that's for sure! What about the cast? The question is, are they ashamed of themselves for appearing in this crap? Let's hope so!

For those who don't get it, it's a 3. But for those who love the so bad it's good genre, you'll be thoroughly entertained by this steaming loaf of a movie. If you like Samurai Cop, Miami Connection and the like, you'll love blood debts. Especially the ending ;)

This is a good movie man. It just shows that you don't need more than $100 to make a great film. This is awesome, full of action, and epic action packed ending, and a final scene that really makes you wonder why modern movies need these long "Return of The King" endings when all you need is 3-4 sentences telling you what happened to the characters.
Anyways, I had fun watching this, and this is an underrated classic. This movie should be just as famous as Samurai Cop or Troll 2.
You should watch this movie if you are into those types of film, like me. Sure, it is rather old and grainy but fun and entertainment, it still is.
10/10.
