It's fortunate that the cover pleases and kicks everybody's ass because it I guess we won't see too much variety on this one... other than that I quite like the Spanish title as well, "El Arcángel".

No..should it? What is it?

a influence for dolph lundgren ....

aren't the designs very similar?

Plus here are the plots of first two (out of four) Billy Jack movies:

BORN LOSERS (1967)

Its spring break in Big Rock, California, and along with the bikini-clad teenagers comes an invasion by the vicious motorcycle gang, the Born Losers. Even though the bikers attack four young women, the D.A. and cowardly town sheriff are powerless to stop them. The gang has terrorized the victims into not testifying, and are going after the final witness when she finds a protection from a loner, Billy Jack. Billy hides Vicky from the gang but realizes this won’t end until someone stops the gang.

BILLY JACK (1971)

Powerful Mr. Posner would love nothing more than to shut down the ‘hippie’ school on the nearby Indian reservation, and keep the undesirables from the city streets, but because of the reservation he has no authority. But he gets his chance when the daughter of the town’s deputy goes missing (after a beating by her deputy dad) and is suspected of being hidden at the Freedom School. The only thing standing between the town vigilantes and the school is Billy Jack, a half-breed indian who guards the reservation, those who live on it, and Jean Roberts, the school’s headmistress.

Ohhh! I see :lol:

Yeah I haven't seen any of those movies, but at least if its good he's getting his inspiration from a respected film eh?

Very short review from Kino.de, which I'm sure German speakers will be able to translate better than online programs... but from what I got, the review sounds very generic so I'm not even sure the guy who wrote actually saw the movie...

Dolph Lundgren erinnert sich daran, dass er in einem seiner wenigen bedeutenden Filme auf einer alten Harley saß, und bedient sich als Einzelgänger im Streite wider den organisierte Landfriedensbruch der Dramaturgie des Italowestern in dieser seiner höchstpersönlichen Regiearbeit und monochromen Action-Rachefantasie. Wohlchoreografierte Fights, die auch ein unnötig hektischer Schnitt nicht beschädigt, gute Typen und harte Auseinandersetzungen für Freunde des traditionellen Action-B-Movies. Lundgren-Fans werden nicht enttäuscht.

According to Sony (who had nothing to do with it) it was not public but mainly for the cast & crew as well the Texas Film Commission, to thank them for helping with making the movie.

The person in charge of publicity at Sony told me she LOVED the film though.

Ugh, someone tried to build very complicated sentences and thus sound like a high class literature reviewer. *sigh* But I'll give it a try. ;-)

"Dolph Lundgren recalls sitting on an old Harley in one of his few significant movies. As loner in the battle against organized violation of the public peace he uses the dramaturgy of Italo western with this very personal directorial work and monochrome action revenge fantasie. Well choreographed fights that aren't spoiled by the unnecessarily hectic cuts, good characters and tough quarrels for friends of traditional action B-movies. Lundgren fans will not be disappointed."

Hm... that doesn't sound like an enthusiastic review.

What do you mean?
Sounds very good I think.

It says that the directing is personal, the fights well choregraphed and edited and that fans of B-action and Dolph will like it.

Rockin'!

Coming from a generalist movie website, it's actually not a bad review.

Apparently there was a another MM (VIP) premiere in Moscow back in September, with a party organized by Russian company Laplabel
