A martial-arts boxer working as a debt collector gets involved in a feud between rival Mafia families in L.A.
Around this point of time, PM Entertainment heads Richard Pepin and Joseph Merhi were starting to make movies that were a definite improvement over the movies they made just a few years earlier. The positive attributes of "Fist of Honor" are pretty evident from the start. The movie looks like some expense had been put into it, with some good production values, including some striking photography. Unfortunately, when it comes to entertaining the audience, the movie is still lacking. The story, if it can be called a "story", is very slow moving - the hero does not find himself in a real crisis until more than AN HOUR of the running time has passed! Yes, there are plenty of fist fights along the way, but they not only come across as all alike, they are also equally unexciting. And fans of Abe Vigoda or Bubba Smith will be disappointed that their roles are pretty brief and have little impact to the rest of the movie. Skip this movie and watch a PM Entertainment movie made a few years later - by then they had learned how to make a good action movie.
