Summary: time to surrender
Comment: The 1st 2 No Retreat No Surrender were the best of "they are so bad they are good action movies". The 3rd in the series becomes "they are so bad they are, well, bad". Straight out, the final fight is a 4 minute excite. The rest of the movie is painful.
NRNS3 stars Loren Avedon and Keith Vitali, playing 2 brothers who can never seem to get along. Apparently their father, who works for the CIA, killed the son of a man named Franco. Franco gets his revenge and kills their father. The 2 brothers travel to Florida, seperately, where they eventually hook up to get back at Franco.
The story has the possibility to be interesting in NRNS 3, but that would require a better script, much much better acting, and not so much cheese. Unfortunately this movie is loaded with it all. The result is an hour and half that seems like 3 hours, just waiting for that promising final fight.
Fortunately, the final fight is fast and furious. Franco (and his 2nd in command) take on the 2 brothers at an airport. The fight is unrealistic, but is fun and well choreographed. If not for the fight, this movie would completely bomb.
I guess if you are desperate to complete the NRNS series, go ahead and get number 3. Otherwise, get it and fast forward to the end.

Summary: One star without the last fight scene 5 if you love bad
Comment: Okay first off if this is a purchase you are considering because you love to own horrible movies and find perverse pleasure in seeing decent actors do their best with the worst scripts in history...solid five. It gets no worse. The only thing that is actually great about the film is that it is a highly memorable fight scene in the end. As far as most memorable fight scenes, this is up their with far better movies finale. Not that it is realistic but the choreography is totally outstanding and entertaining, one of the best I think. The rest of the movie is adequately acted by Kieth Vitali and Loren Avedon both of whom are always the bright spots in lousy flicks because they really do well no matter the Godforsaken plot. This plot is something along the line of-okay it's pretty much the same elements in almost all martial arts b-movies just mixed around enough to not directly copy everybody else. Plot holes- oh they're big. Pointfulness-oh who needs it. Plenty of fancy footwork-plenty. At one point as the two brothers stand over their dead father[cia guy, man of course] Kieth says something like '' this happens in our line of work.'' and honest to God almost as close as I can remember [just watched it today] Loren Avedon says through childlike tears and words '' Not to him, cuz he was my father and I loved him.'' Wow. Having an eight year old boy right this script was not a good idea. You should be atleast fifteen to right a decend b-movie martial arts flick. FIFTEEN PEOPLE! Work with me here. Also someone to be named dies via shotgun to his cheekbone. Huh? His head didn't even move for crying out loud! I know none of this is supposed to be realistic. Some of the best ones who aren't supposed to be great due to crappiness are still unrealistic but this movie-just wow. In all of these flicks which I grew up on like probably most of us, the idea is to creatively do one thing. Bring non-ballistics combat to the forefront of the action with the most likely non-gun situation. Since every yahoo since the 1800's has been able to get their hands on a user-friendly multi-shot gun of some sort, you've got to think of all the reasons why they can't or shouldn't or wouldn't apply this ability in a situation where people want to hurt other people. Some movies do a great job of this, this one is one of those where it just makes no sense. Even worse then their attempt at drama like the 'he was my dad' thing, is their attempt at comedy. It's like when your six years old and you ''come up with'' a joke that you improv before you actually figure the joke out and it lasts twenty minutes and people are staring at you with the most uncomfortable smile you may ever see. Okay that is their comedy. It is only funny when you laugh at the movie, not with it. If you laugh with it,... guess what? Your sense of humor is dying. It's not dead yet, but it is sickly. So if you want a great great movie-1 star for Kieth and Loren's presence and one for the final fight scene-and if you want a great horrible movie-five stars all the way.

Summary: NRNS 3 Review!
Comment: Not as hysterically bad as the first two movies but still a laugh-fest, NRNS 3 brings back Avedon (though he plays a different part) and teams him with Keith Vitali as two brothers, one of them is a C.I.A. agent with MacGyer-like problem solving abilties and the other is a karate teacher with a bus stop inside his dojo. When their dad gets iced by the goofiest super-villian ever, the brothers go their seperate ways on a mission of revenge.Vitali tries to smooth things over with his estranged girlfriend while Avedon enlists the help of his old drinking buddies. Things get intense when a double agent sets them up and Avedon is forced to kidnap some goofy-looking African Embasaddor. In one of the funniest things I have ever seen, Vitali's girlfriend starts shooting at Avedon because he neglected to inform her that he is his brother. Well, I don't want to give it all a way but if you love bad action movies, this one is a hoot.

Summary: Terminate With Extreme Prejudice
Comment: Franco is the greatest martial artist in this movie. His amazing tactical fighting skills surprise even himself. This is a great movie if you like spectacular fighting sequences. The main bad guy Franco is a very special actor with a very special hairstyle.
