Okay, this is not a real movie. It plays more like an old film student project complete with campy "special effects", cliche plot (the bank is trying to reposses the farm, let's stop them), and poor dialog and acting. Why would you watch it, then? Because of the Machado brothers. Even though the fights are staged and sometimes poorly executed, it is fun to watch the Machados demonstrate real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). They had to include the flashy moves such as flying armlocks and Judo flips because this is an action movie. What makes these fights different from your typical action fights are that the techniques used in the film are the actual BJJ techniques you'd learn in a BJJ class.
The graininess of the film and poor acting will cause even the most devoted action junkie to laugh this movie off. This movie is really for fans of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the Machado brothers who spout old one-liners like "this is bullsh%&." There are some nice fight sequences showcasing the BJJ style. Only recommended for martial arts fans who are currently fascinated with BJJ.
