Plot: Martial arts star Don The Dragon Wilson stars in this action/suspense story. A child is recruited to take part in a secret government experiment which results in him being able to see into the future. Years later, the child is an adult and is working for the government; his latest assignment is to find the other people who were part of the same project. Before long, he discovers the other test subjects usually pop up murdered shortly before he can talk to them, and he realizes he may well be the next target. Horror film legend Barbara Steele highlights the supporting cast; cult figure Fred Olen Ray directed. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

The Capitol Roger Corman

Another facinating Corman flick features basically a combination of Jackie Chan and hardcore action violence. It also features my favorite actor of all that had ever starred in these type of Corman movie, Rick Dean ("Carnosaur 2 & 3").

I liked the ideas this movie was made on. The hero (Don Wilson) is a strong psychic with quick moves. The original idea here is worth a nice smile alone. Unfortunatly due to bad acting and lazy writers the mystery unfolds quickly after the opening credits. They try to have so many mysteries in the movie to keep you intriuged but the puzzles are too easy.

Now before I talk about the fighting which is the meat of these movies I want to say that Don is an excellent fighter with a kickboxing record of 80 and 2, and if I ever met him in a dark ally I'd sing a funeral song for my teethe and ribs.

With that in mind I don't see how the fights can be so bad. They are impractical, slow, poorly acted, and flat out embarrassing. He had a mediocre fight with a bunch of big guys in a bar (these movies always have one fight with big guys in a bar) and the lines are charming somtimes but I have to say that this movie dosn't offer much more than a lot of potential. Don can do anything I can only hope he takes the right script and shows his true skill.

To see him do his thing well check out "virtual fighter" or "ring of fire 1".
