I saw one of Julien Lee's films last night on an obscure sky channel, called action max. It was Tiger Street, and it was one of the most horrible and awful pieces of turd I've ever seen in my life. Lee has absolutely no screen presence, no charisma and no acting ability. As an on screen fighter, he makes Don Wilson look like Bruce Lee, and as an actor makes Don Wilson look like Robert De Niro! I've also looked at some trailers for his other movies, that are floating round the internet still. They all look like home movies, bad ones! I have absolutely no doubts that had Straight Blast been made it would have been by a long shot, Dolph's worst and most embarrasing movie. Dolph is way too big to be doing stuff like that. Lee went on to do a film that co-starred Frank Zagarino, and even Zagarino was really slumming it there. So no way in a million years should Dolph appear in something that slip-shod and amatuerish. Had that movie been made it could have led Dolph down a path of doing dire, uber-low budget movies. When he went back to NU Image, the rental receipts clearly went back up again and thankfully he was laos led into directing his own movies too.
