Death Ring (1992)

The VHS Strikes Back

Never let it be said that our supporters don't have the ability to pull one out of the bag! And this week our good friend and supporter JAC has introduced us to one of the greatest dupes we've ever seen! Can only imagine the disgruntled video shop browsers returning after they find that Norris, Swayze and McQueen are actually just related to their better-known namesakes.

"Death Ring" (1992), directed by R.J. Kizer and starring Mike Norris, follows the story of a retired cop who becomes entangled in a deadly martial arts competition. The production of the film involved navigating the challenges of creating a compelling action film within the context of a martial arts tournament. With Mike Norris, the son of martial arts and action star Chuck Norris, in the lead role, "Death Ring" aimed to capitalize on the popularity of martial arts movies during that era.

While "Death Ring" did not achieve the same level of recognition as other martial arts films of the time, the production team focused on delivering engaging fight scenes and a straightforward action narrative. The film's emphasis on martial arts and tournament-style combat reflected the trends in action cinema during the early 1990s.
