A Former cop (Don Wilson) is hired to protect a singer (Deirdre Immershein) from a psycho serial killer who's also a martial arts expert (Matthias Hues).I am a big Matthias Hues fan , and i must say that he looks as good as always in this movie. Although, after watching his movies, i see that they still cant set up a fight properly, because Hues is always gets beaten by weaker opponents. Same happens in Black Belt.I actually expected more from this movie. I expected the villain to be something like Van Damme's "Torch" in THE REPLICANT. In Blackbelt we have a serial killer, who is after a singer who looks like his mother, who abused him when he was young.Wilson on the other hand is trying to stop him , delivering his usual lines as a "good guy". His acting still needs a lot of work.Figh scenes are somewhat solid, but like i mentioned earlier, the final fight scene between Wilson and Hues looks ridiculous, as well as Wilson's fights during the movie.So if ur a Don Wilson fan, or you like seeing Matthias Hues as a villain, Blackbelt is worth a watch. Don't expect great plot, and great fight scenes.

First of all,this movie contains 10 of the worlds best kickboxers,and i believe that explains why this movie has so much fighting. Some of the fighting scenes are very graphic so this is no movie for those who can't take blood.The lead role is played by Don "The Dragon" Wilson who plays the good guy.On the other side of the law is the brutal martial-arts killer John Sweet played by "Matthias Hues".(They have one of the coolest fights ever put on film) The fighting scenes in this movie is so brutal that it makes Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee look like two kids having fun.This is street kickboxing at it's best.

This movie is amazing. Don the dragon Wilson is like the edward norton of martial arts, he can play any part you give him in a kun-fu movie. And his fast paced action style of fighting is reminiscent of the great chuck norris. God chuck why did you have to go to tv? Don't you know we miss you, please come back. Well at least you have brought the martial arts genre to tv. The best way to describe this movie is enter the dragon meets the matrix meets pulp fiction meets gone with the wind or something because there is a little romance brewing in the air. The first scene of the movie already has martial, arts murder, and brief(and classy) nudity. The movie only gets better from there as it goes on till the end. The end is sooooo good, I won't tell you what happens I will just say that it is like all this fighting and you aren't sure who's going to win and then it ends and you're like whoa no way, did you see that? But you did.

I watched this film for 45 minutes and counted 9 mullets. That's a mullet every 5 minutes. Seriously though, this film is living proof that formula works. If it ain't broke, it don't need fixin. A streetwise-yet-vulnerable heroine, a hardened ex-cop martial arts master with a heart of gold and a serial killer with 'issues'. Pure magic.
