"Fists of Iron" Theatrical Poster
If you recall straight-to-video titles like To Be the Best, Final Impact, Fists of Iron and Isaac Florentine’s U.S. Seals II, then there’s a chance you might remember a martial artist named Michael Worth.
Worth is mostly known for his action film resume in the 90s, but over the years, he has branched out to writing and directing a number of indie films in multiple genres that include romance, comedy, war, horror and even a musical.
But now, Worth is bringing his skill back to the ring with a new martial arts drama titled The Butterfly Guard, a project he wrote, directed and is starring in (he also knows a thing or two about Bruceploitation).
The Butterfly Guard is a drama about two fighters as they make the journey from opposite ends of the world to fight each other and the realizations they face along the way. The film co-stars Scottie Epstein (Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown), Tim Thomerson (Trancers), Francesca Agramonte (Grimm), Justin Mccully (Code of Honor) and Ivan Sergei (Once a Thief TV series).
There’s currently no release date, but we’ll be sure to fill you in as we learn more. Until then, don’t miss the film’s 1st teaser, featuring the character played by Worth.
Updates: 2nd teaser for the film has been released, this time focusing on Scottie Epstein’s character.

Dude, I loved watching Michael Worth In the 90 from Street Crimes to Acapulco H.E.A.T. It was always a solid rental when he was on a VHS cover.
Still waiting for the release of “Killing Cupid” (with Lorenzo Lamas). It’s been over ten years. But I’m happy to hear that he’s doing the martial arts genre again.
It did come out dude. It was just called Warrior or Assassin instead. It is pretty good. Dan Southworth’s character steals the show though in my opinion.
