    90s martial arts film set in the wild west.
    Directed by Isaac Florentine (the guy gav martial arts fans Boyka n Undisputed series). I first saw this in the late 90s on cable tv. Fans of martial arts can watch it once. Enough action to satisfy martial arts. The lead guy Oliver Gruner is a talented martial artist. The epic fly scene shudnt b miss by anyone. Bad acting by Ashley Laurence (Hellraiser movies). James Brolin looks as if he doesn't kno what he is doing. Some cool sun soaked settings for western fans.
