“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Double Blast (1994)
This film stars Linda Blair as an archaeologist who gets kidnapped (for reasons involving deciphering a stone tablet) and must be rescued by a black belt martial artist and two kids. The bad guys are Robert Z'Dar and Joe Estevez! "Unknown Comic" Murray Langston has a cameo. The kids break up laughing during the poorly choreographed fights. As a solid rule, those who can fight can't act and those who can act can't fight. There was a sort-of sub-genre of children fighting off adults that came out after "Home Alone" and this may be the worst of the lot. It's watchable in small doses - recommended only for fans of the cast.
