Overview

The documentary celebrates some of the unsung action stars of the late eighties/nineties in the North American Pictures Catalog. From Cynthia Rothrock and Bolo Yeung to Billy Blanks the film explores the martial arts craze in the U.S. and the ferocious appetite of video store customers for these titles. The eight-time award winning documentary (Gold Telly Award, San Francisco Independent Film Festival) is distributed by the legendary Vinegar Syndrome/ETR Media, Cineverse and MVD.
