When Death Comes Quickly

About This Movie

So, 'When Death Comes Quickly' is a real trip, honestly. It has this chaotic mix of everything you didn't know you wanted in a low-budget action flick. The pacing is all over the place, but that just adds to its charm. Richard Byrne, as a karate master, is just doing his thing, and you can't help but admire the sheer audacity of the production. The car chases are pretty wild for the era, and those karate fights? They’re more about enthusiasm than technique, but who cares? The film has this almost unintentional humor woven through it. It’s a slice of the 80s that feels both of its time and completely out of place, which makes it memorable in its own weird way.

'When Death Comes Quickly' is a bit of a rarity, often overlooked in discussions about 80s action cinema. It has circulated mostly on VHS, and finding a decent copy can be a challenge, as its prints are not abundant. Collectors seem to appreciate its offbeat nature, and while it might not be on everyone’s radar, its eccentricities are what set it apart. There’s a certain charm to how it embodies the spirit of its era, making it an intriguing piece for those who enjoy exploring the less conventional corners of film history.
