Plot

Screen vets Don "The Dragon" Wilson (Batman Forever, Stealing Harvard) and Bokeem Woodbine (Jason's Lyric, Sniper 2) appear in the chop socky spoof 18 Fingers of Death!, alongside James Lew and Karate Kid mainstay, the late Noriyuki "Pat" Morita. This zany send-up of Asian martial arts films concerns Buford (Lew), a weathered and worn big-screen action star who hits a wall when the big shots axe production on his latest (and most promising) vehicle. Soon, Buford finds himself in the humiliating position of standing on a street corner holding a cardboard sign to advertise himself as available for kung fu work. With no other options in sight, he must wage a martial-arts war to enact vengeance on his producers. Star Lew directs, from his own original script. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
