Viewing Notes

Apparently the writer/star of this movie thought to himself “you know, I’m pretty good at fencing and I love Bloodsport….that’d make an awesome movie!” And you know…it’s not awesome but it was fun in one of thoe late night, lots of drinking sorts of ways. Reflecting back on Ring of Steel I enjoyed it more than I figured. Love the scenes that are reminiscient of the humor parts of the Princess Bride sword battles, the aburdity of the whole movie and of course Joe Don Baker as the evil mastermind behind the underground fencing world.
