On February 24, 2026, MVD is releasing a Blu-ray (Region A) for 1981’s Force: Five, a martial arts cult classic directed by Robert Clouse (Enter the Dragon, Game of Death, The Big Brawl).
A powerful and dangerous cult, hidden on a remote island fortress, has brainwashed the daughter of a U.S. senator. With local authorities powerless and time running out, the government turns to a highly specialized team of martial arts experts known as “Force: Five.”
Led by seasoned agent Jim Martin, the team includes five elite fighters, each with unique combat skills–from unarmed street-fighting and karate to high-impact kickboxing. Their mission: infiltrate the island compound, uncover the secrets of the cult’s charismatic and manipulative leader, and rescue the senator’s daughter before she becomes permanently indoctrinated–or worse.
The film features a diverse cast of martial arts legends including Joe Lewis (Death Fighter), Bong Soo Han (Kill the Golden Goose), Sonny Barnes (Gymkata), Benny “The Jet” Urquidez (Wheels on Meals) and Richard Norton (Mission Terminate)
