    NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER 3 (1990): Producer: Ng See Yuen Director: Lucas Lowe Co-Producer/Writer: Keith W. Strandberg Cast: Keith Vitali, Loren Avedon Locations: Tampa Bay Area, Florida Original Title: Blood Brothers Review courtesy of www.kungfucinema.com “Producer Ng See-Yuen reunites with screenwriter Keith W. Strandberg and tae kwon do expert Loren Avedon in this tale that takes a page from Ng's first film with Seasonal Film Corporation, THE SECRET RIVALS.” To complete his U.S.-Hong Kong crossover trilogy, launching Jean-Claude Van Damme in 1985 and Loren Avedon in 1987, producer Ng See-Yuen reunites with screenwriter Keith W. Strandberg and tae kwon do expert Loren Avedon in this tale that takes a page from Ng's first film with Seasonal Film Corporation, THE SECRET RIVALS. Only instead of North and South styles as the "rivals", we have two brothers whose political views gets the best of them until the death of their father brings them together. C.I.A. agent Casey Alexander (Keith Vitali) has a reputation as being one of the most respected agents in the company. Martial arts instructor Will Alexander (Loren Avedon), Casey's brother, doesn't believe in the entire federal agent shtick and as a result, the two brothers have a serious falling out that starts out at a hunting trip and culminates at the 65th birthday party of their retired agent father John (Joseph Campanella). When John becomes the target of Colombian terrorist Antonio "Franco" Franconi (Rion Hunter), the result of a job in which Franco's son was killed, John is brutally beaten and then ultimately killed by Franco.

Most of these films have been released under more than one title, and while we've done our best to use the one that's most likely to be familiar, that doesn't guarantee you aren't trying to find Crippled Avengers and don't know we've got it as The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. And so, we've gathered as many alternative titles as we can find, including their original language title(s), and arranged them in alphabetical order in this index to help you out. Remember, English language articles ("a", "an", "the") are ignored in the sort, but foreign articles are NOT ignored. Hey, my Japanese is a little rusty, and some languages just don't have articles.

    CHAPtER 1 THE WARRIOR HERO The Western Hero and the Samurai In the early 1960s, when gun-toting cowboys dominated movie screens across America, audiences got to watch three Westerns with a curious connection. It was not the films’ directors, stars, or stories that linked them to each other. The Magnificent Seven (1960), directed by John Sturges, is about an ill-assorted group of gunmen who defend a Mexican village from a band of brutal bandits (see Close-up: The Magnificent Seven). The Outrage (1964), directed by Martin Ritt, centers on an incident involving a robbery, a rape, and a corpse. In A Fistful of Dollars (Per un pugno di dollari, 1964), a Man with No Name arrives in a Mexican border town and sees a chance to make some money by playing two feuding families against each other. The movie was filmed in Spain by Sergio Leone, an Italian, featuring Clint Eastwood and a cast of European actors using phony American names. What these three movies had in common was their source. Sturges’s film was based on Seven Samurai (1954), Ritt’s film on Rashomon (1950), and Leone’s on Yojimbo (Bodyguard, 1961). All three films were from Japan and directed by Akira Kurosawa. Kurosawa set his movies during the long feudal period of his nation’s history when samurai swordsmen roamed the countryside much as men with six-guns once wandered through the American West. Relics of a warrior society, masterless samurai called ronin, having lost their social status but not their skill, offered them- selves as hired swords forCOPYRIGHTED money or adventure.
