The sister of a former U.S. Green Beret, is involved in a love affair with a mobster, endangering seriously her life. His brother will make his best efforts to save her from her boyfriend and his friends, fighting with or without external help. But perhaps this tough cop, Rossi, could help him... or stop him...
At first, I actually had no idea that Billy Blanks was an actor, but after seeing the poster for this film, my interest had been captured. I was treated to a really amazing beat &#39;em up fest. Billy Blanks and Roddy Piper sure know how to kick some butt.<br/><br/>The movie centers around veteran police office Frank Rossi, played by Piper, who after his partner Wallace is brutally gutted by a ruthless drug gang, becomes bent on avenging his partner&#39;s death. Meanwhile, Billy (Played by Billy Blanks), an ex-Special Forces agent, is trying to protect his sister from the same gang, lead by Kasajian, played brilliantly by Nigel Bennett. Rossi and Billy eventually team up after a number of confrontations when Billy&#39;s sister and Rossi&#39;s reporter girlfriend Helen (Played by Bobbie Phillips) are kidnapped by Kasajian&#39;s gang.<br/><br/>This movie really knows how to deliver. It&#39;s sad that there is really not that large of a following, but we can always hope that it will gain more cult recognition in the future. I hope Universal considers releasing a DVD of this movie someday, in widescreen.<br/><br/>Highly recommended.<br/><br/>EXTRAS: The tape contains a trailer for Mr. Write (1994) before the movie starts.
Just a minor note: some have said Back in Action was a direct-to-video release in the U.S. which isn&#39;t accurate. It was released for a brief run in the Southwest in 1993, playing at United Artists theaters including the University Quartet in Little Rock. Based on my memory, however, the lure of the 35mm prints did not attract huge audiences although I think it made a second week of release at one location as a split run. While Shaprio-Glickenhaus Entertainment did handle the Foreign Distribution Sales, it arranged with United International Pictures (UIP) for the domestic theatrical run in the U.S., probably just for the video store campaign as much as anything.

This hard B action movie had quite a hard time with the BBFC. It had to be cut twice, first by seven and then by another one and a half minutes, in order to finally receive a rating in 1984. The DVDs that were released in the UK were all uncut, however. 646f9e108c
