Wow! Such a good movie.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

The Alexander brothers are nearly going to kill each other... both are trained fighters with different personalities. Their semi-retired CIA dad stubbornly wants another crack at putting some Terrorists away for life. The patriarch about to have his 65th birthday and only chance at any intervention with the two sons.Loren Avedon as the younger brother Will Alexander demonstrates some of his signature KICKS,SWEEPS, and FLIPS. He is a Martial Art Instructor by day and a vigilante by leisure. Keith Vitalli as Casey Alexander plays the overly domineering and arrogant older sibling. He has got into his dad's profession which his bro Will has no interest for. The dad played by Joseph Cappanelli (sorry about the spelling) is oblivious of the for-boding drama.The brothers ultimately have to pursue the Terrorists but they take different paths to find them. The Lead Terrorist Franco is heavily guarded by dozens of armed men. He even has a right hand man Russo.Franco uses Will after successfully joining forces. Now under his corny new alias Jesse Roby he kills his CIA brother or does he? Franco meets rogue CIA Agent Atteron (Luke Askew) who basically spoils Will's cover. Franco captures Casey Alexander and threatens to kill him if Will Doesn't do what he says.The finally has some fast paced martial art choreographed scenes. Franco is maybe the most badass villain in martial art movie history with his brutal moves.

I just love the No Retreat, No Surrender series. All three movies are great. Even though the actors are mostly totally unknown, the budgets aren't that huge and they're generally not that well-known, it fun and entertainment from start to finish. This particular installment in the series sees Loren Avedon from the previous movie teaming up with Keith Vitali. The opening scene with Vitali is hilarious, and you start wondering if you're watching a slapstick comedy. That's the level this movie is at, it's an extremely easygoing piece of action movie which delivers the goods when it comes to the fight scenes. As always they are truly great, and way better than most other movies of both past and present. It looks to be inspired of the wirework from Hong Kong, and the execution is satisfactory.

Loren Avedon and Keith Vitali star as two martial arts expert brothers ho team up to take down the ruthless murderers who squashed their father. Lot s of martial arts battles are waged in the course of this film. Loren Avedon is a gifted martial artist and watching him fight is ultimately the real show to watch. He actually has somewhat of a screen presence and his acting while admittedly not very good is still better than his co-star Keith Vitali. What finds most strange about No Retreat No Surrender 3:Blood Brothers, aside from the obvious fact that it has nothing to do with the first (Sadly there is no ghost of Bruce Lee) or second (I guess, since I haven't seen it) is that it makes literally no dramatic sense on any level. There are so many scenes of gleeful stupidity that you can't help but cave and enjoy the movie as such. The action sequences are however are what make this thing great to watch. The action sequences are thrilling and in a Z-grade martial arts thriller, that is all that counts. I recommend it as a perfect way to avail yourself in glorious ass-kicking, that is why this movie is so enjoyable.* *1/2 out of 4-(Pretty good)

I've seen this movie before, but most recently over-dubbed in Spanish (I do not speak the language). It is honestly one of the funniest movies I've ever seen when you don't understand a word. Then again, this was on at about 2am, so I may have been deliriously tired, but inspired enough to write this review at 4am. The acting is beyond horrible - but the scenes with the white haired terrorist were so over the top that I laughed until I cried. Besides being the silliest looking bad guy, he appears to be playing right to the camera. This is worth it just for the laughs, though there are brief segments of reasonably talented martial arts moves - only to be ruined by any attempt at acting.
