Black Eagle (1988)
5/10
Enjoy the Sho
28 January 2021
I am a Sho Kosugi fan without apology.

This movie is B grade for sure, the acting, particularly JCVD, is awful.

It fits into the Delta Force realm quite nicely and at a time before the second wave of martial arts movies were coming (sparked by Bloodsport and delivered by JCVD, Seagal, Chan and Jet Li) (Bruce Lee being the first wave) it did a nice job of filling a bit of a void.

Sho Kosugi was kind of the asian Chuck Norris at the time, in that his movies had a similar feel to them (along with others like the American Ninja series).

No Oscars for this but there are way worse :)
