Martial arts stars Loren Avedon (No Retreat No Surrender 2) and Jalal Merhi (TC 2000) are back in Frank A. Caruso’s Risk Factor, an ultra low-budget film that was shot in 2011 and edited in 2013.
Risk Factor follows Alex (Merhi), a retired CIA operative who is lured back into the game by a femme fatale (Elise Muller). Things get complicated when Alex’s former partner (Avedon) gets involved.
In the 90s, Avedon and Merhi – along with stars like Don “The Dragon” Wilson and Cynthia Rothrock – dominated the straight-to-video scene with films like King of the Kickboxers, Ring of Fire and Tiger Claws. Their titles were hit or miss, but it was always exciting to see their faces on VHS box covers.
Updates: According to carusofilms.com, Rick Factor will soon be released on iTunes. Until then, be sure to catch the film’s latest trailer.
That may be one of the silliest poster I have ever seen.
Well, have you seen the trailer? 🙂 either way, its good to see Loren back in movie.
haha, I have. This will probably be a hot action gem.
Talking about Jalal Merhi!
Just think how many people he ripped of making his movies.
It is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, I believe that if I ask my little son and daughter to prepare a movie they can make it better than this movie. By all means.
You know, such movies should be judged for compensation, yes the actors should pay for the customers, by the end of movie you discover that this movie is just like a scam!! You spend more than 1 hour waiting for some thing then you discover that there is nothing worthy to see.
lol! Just curious, how did you see it? iTunes?
