Chickboxer (1992)




Directed by David DecCoteau and produced by J.R. Bookwalter (who also has a small acting role), this obscurity is now available on DVD, though it still looks like it's on a VHS tape. One woman loves the TV show "Chickboxer" and wants to learn martial arts and her friend gets involved in some unrelated political story arc. Not much happens for most of the 60 minutes - we see shoes getting laced up for about 5 minutes - until the climactic fight scene involving people who don't know what they're doing. The dialogue is ridiculous and the acting typical for a cheap regional film. Then there's a tacked-on sex scene with Michelle Bauer, complete with visible boom mic and off-camera direction about how the guy's coin purse is visible. This is dementedly bad crap, but definitely one of the better films by the director and producer. I heard Linnea Quigley has a role in this, but I didn't see her.
