Okay for some fun now. I'd like to thank Stickgrappler for turning me on to this movie.

Hawk's Vengeance is a B rate revenge movie with Gary Daniels as Hawk, an SAS type avenging the death of his brother, a cop killed by the Mob with the help of some skinheads.

Hawk gets some help from Asian gangsters and an attractive female cop, who just ends up falling in love with Hawk (oh my).

The main villain is played by FMA/Silat stylist Cass Magda who does his best Laci Szabo imitation by carrying a khukri type knife in a crossdraw sheath in a business suit.

The cool parts involve Cass training double sticks, sword and dagger, and knives with multiple opponents (3). He wears his suit and tie while they alternate between Red Man suits and full chain mail.

There's also Blade and Barney, the local henchmen. Blade carries a folder similar to the Szabo Gentleman's knife, basically wood handled folder with a Muslim Barong type blade.

Blade isn't a knifefighter though and ends up hurting his partner Barney throughout the movie. Very funny.

Enter the big climactic roof fight between Gary and Cass where Cass pulls out that same kukri type knife which turns out to be two and so it starts. Sadly, Cass loses the knives but fortunately Gary doesn't pick it up (even though it's a foot away from him).
After a little fight over a large antenna we see some empty hand work with Cass showing a good punch parry combo and silat sweep.

The movie ends when it ends and that's it.

Hi,

Thanks for the review.
I have been keeping my eyes open for this movie, but haven't been able to find it in the video stores(etc...). Can you tell me where you found it?

Thanks...

Kev, I'll sell it to you (gotta find my copy first) if you like.

It's mostly a tape for the stores. Amazon will charge you $120 b/c it is meant for the rental stores. I got my copy on ebay.

Then again, you could buy it from me.
