"No Retreat, No Surrender 2" American VHS Cover
Action star Cynthia Rothrock (Shanghai Express) is reuniting with her No Retreat, No Surrender II co-star, Max Thayer, for a Grindhouse-style, Tarantino-esque martial arts flick titled Bitchfight, directed by UK filmmaker and cult movie historian, Dean Meadows.
According to a press release (via FCS), “Bitchfight harks back to the glory days of the 80’s and early 90’s when video stores where lined with low budget action classics from the likes of Golan/Globus, Roger Corman and Cirio Santiago.”
Meadows stated, “We’re making this movie for all those fans who remember the excitement of going into the video store and anticipating the next release from companies such as Cannon, you know the old-school stuff starring guys like Chuck Norris, Michael Dudikoff and Steve James…”
Bitchfight is set to start shooting in the Spring of 2015. Stay tuned!
Update: The filmmakers have unveiled a 30-day Kickstarter campaign in which supporters will gain access to an exclusive, uncut version of the film. This raw and uncensored cut will feature 25 minutes of footage not available anywhere else!
