Released in 1990, Karate Rock is an action film directed by Fabrizio De Angelis, running about 90 minutes.

What it’s about. Fabrizio De Angelis leaves it all on the sweat-stained mat at the strip-mall karate studio that hosted the bone-crushing, senses-shattering, kickpocalypse between arch rivals Kevin and Jeff! The final battle would have been pretty lame (well, lamer than it was) if it hadn't been built toward with an unceasing increase in tension as Kevin and Jeff clashed in competitions where the stakes only got higher and higher and even freaking higher! Why, by the time that Kevin had bested Jeff in the race through the Tunnel of Death (neither of them died making the tunnel's name an unfortunate misnomer), I was thinking that surely nothing could top that! Well, nothing but a training montage!

Who’s in it. Karate Rock stars Antonio Sabàto, Jr. as Kevin Foster, David Warbeck as John Foster, Nathalie Hendrix as Kim Jones and Dorian D. Field as Conny Parker, among others.
