BLACK EAGLE: MVD REWIND COLLECTION REVIEWED
“Black Eagle” is pretty typical for late 80s B-movies. An American agent is sent to recover materials from a downed experimental jet. Unfortunately, the KGB has decided to send their best agent to recover the material. Sho Kosugi and Jean Claude Van-Damme have done better films. Kosugi only gets one major fight scene. If that wasn’t enough, JCVD seems to be performing an older version of his No Retreat, No Surrender character.
If you take the film at face value, it’s an old Norris director making a spy Kung-Fu war. However, watching the movie reveals something else. It’s nothing more than a rather cheap action movie trying to catch Kosugi at the end of his big boom and JCVD at the start of his time. There are enough B-Movie action fans following the site that I expect to catch grief for this. Still, I don’t get the appeal of this movie. Hell, I still don’t get the appeal of JCVD.
Help me out, people. Only you can sell me on this stuff.
