On September 25, 2018, MVD Rewind will be releasing a Special Edition Blu-ray for Angel Town (read our review), the 1990 feature debut of French World Kickboxing Champion Olivier Gruner (Nemesis, Showdown in Manila).
Trouble is the rule in Angel Town, the heart of Los Angeles, where once peaceful streets surrounding a major university have become a cauldron of urban chaos and fear. Gang fights by day – full scale war by night. No one is safe, not even the police. When Jacques Montaine (Gruner), an exchange student and champion kickboxer, tries to protect an innocent family from whom he rents a room, he becomes a target of the psychotic gang leader…
Directed by cult action filmmaker Eric Karson (Black Eagle, The Octagon), Angel Town also stars Peter Kwong (Big Trouble in Little China) and Theresa Saldana (Raging Bull).

This film for me is the ultimate in dudes just standing there waiting to be kicked in the head without fighting back, a bit like that parody of such films in Loaded Weapon 1.. Atleast wave your arms around, guys! But I love Gruner, loads of charisma and an awesome star in Nemesis ..
