There are things you do hate, Lord. Perfume-smellin’ things, lacy things, things with curly hair.
An encyclopedia of exploitation clichés that manages to remain coherent enough to be one of the most insanely entertaining films I’ve ever seen. The Burbank Karate Club takes a booze-cruise to Warrior’s Island, a place where the dead martial artists allegedly rise from their graves to do the bidding of the island’s cannibalistic monks. Attempting to stop their arrival is Hitler look-alike Thomas Speer, who is afraid that his nude-girls-for-jade exchange program with the monks will be upset if outsiders are allowed on the island.
Raw Force has a frenetic pace, hitting its exploitive marks with unbelievable frequency. There are no lulls in the steady stream of kung-fu, nudity, and zombies. Fans of cine-excess should find a copy as soon as possible. Look for Camille Keaton in a rare post-I Spit on Your Grave role as a drunk girl in a bathroom.

This is one of my all time favorite stupid exploitation films, for all of the reasons you list. I’ve been trying to track down a decent widescreen print for ages.
