Wow, flashback from the childhood!
I remember saw this as a kid, and those visuals from the film really attached to my child psychic. I thought that I never see this film again, but I was fortunate, found it on the internet and downloaded it. A mystical low budget crap film about Japanese police man hunting down a Yakuza leader and his personal bodyguard and ninjitsu expert, who is also a dark magic user. The policeman was played by the kickboxing champion Don “the dragon” Willson, which was really fine in this film, he gaved some good fights also. Terry Farrel, who played Don’s American partner was also OK, a tough, strong woman with large Cadillac! A supporting characters as Mako (Don’s former ninjitsu master) who was really funny in this film, somewhat a comic relief and Michael Ironside (the man with the badass voice). For the end to mention martial arts actor James Lew, who played the main villain (you know him “Best of the Best” (1989), “Lethal Weapon 4” (1997), “Mission for Justice” (1992) and others). Lew played the leading bad guy very differently here, due to his scary looks, I think that he fit just fine for the leading bad guy here, a mystical, dark ninja bodyguard and user of dark ninja magic, and when he use hypnotic powers, his eyes turns blue, maybe I am older now, but, saw the film a few months ago, I found that really scary. Good work for James Lew! Other things as script, story, forget it, it’s crappy, no use there. Just turn of your brain and enjoy this dark martial arts film. Love the music too. Watch it…! If you want… 🙂
Watchable, albeit rather generic martial arts action movie…
Having sat down in 2021 to watch the 1994 action movie “Red Sun Rising”, I can honestly say that this movie from writers Robert Easter, Neva Friedenn and Paul Maslak was a very generic and archetypical mid-1990s martial arts action movie.So why I hadn’t I ever heard about “Red Sun Rising” before now 27 years after it was released? Well, I suppose because it was an martial arts action movie that didn’t have any of the really noticeable of 1990s action movie stars in it. Sure, it had Don “The Dragon” Wilson in the lead, but he was a niche star, not widely known or recognized amidst the likes of Steven Seagal, Jean Claude Van Damme, etc.
The storyline in “Red Sun Rising” was actually not too shabby, but it was just a bit too generic. I mean, you could have left the movie for a prolonged period and returned later on, only to be able to pick up and get right back into the movie. Nothing outstanding to this movie from director Francis Megahy.
Aside from having Don “The Dragon” Wilson on the cast list, the movie also had familiar 1990s faces of Michael Ironside, Mako and Soon-Tek Oh on the cast list.
The action sequences in “Red Sun Rising” were actually adequate. Sure, this was not groundbreaking choreography or anything, but it provided adequate enough entertainment for a single viewing.
My rating of “Red Sun Rising” lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars. This was hardly among the best of action movies from the mid-1990s.
