These movies used to crowd VHS renta stores years ago, a lot I dont recall that much about. Just because of the sheer volume of movies I've watched since then, not becuase all of them were forgettable. Off the top of my head I enjoyed Riot, Cyber Tracker 1 & 2, Guardian Angel, Firepower, Ring Of Fire 1 & 2, Fist Of Honor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, this looks brilliant. Who is Wings Hauser, and why have I only heard of him now? His character acts like a cop version of William Forsythe in 'Out for Justice', with the wardrobe of Survivor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted October 23, 2017 Member Share Posted October 23, 2017 My favorite PM Films: Ring of Fire (this introduced me to Gary Daniels, who has a wicked fight scene against a long-haired Ron Yuan in the opening scene) A Dangerous Place (Ted Jan Roberts as a martial artist who infiltrates a rival school to investigate his brother's death) To Be the Best (Michael Worth leads the U.S. team against other world fighters in a competition in Vegas) Deadly Bet (my first film with Jeff Wincott, saw it on a Spanish station when I was on my 1st trip to Puerto Rico...great story I thought and nice fights) Tiger Heart (Ted Jan Roberts' final film with the company, highlighted by a nice fight scene where both Ted and his sensei, played by Art Camacho, face off against a horde of thugs in an alley) Firepower (the only film appearance of late wrestling great Ultimate Warrior as the insane Swordsman) Out for Blood (PM's loose remake of Yuen Biao's Above the Law, where Don Wilson played a lawyer by day, high kicking vigilante known as the Karateman by night) Riot (Gary Daniels and Sugar Ray Leonard team up to rescue Daniels' ex-gf in the middle of an insane L.A. riot) Final Impact (nice kickboxing film which marked Michael Worth's film debut) What I liked about PM's martial arts films was the editing of the fight scenes, especially when in the impact shots, they will do one-two cuts angle cuts followed by a slow-motion shot of a third cut, usually from the kicker's point of view then the hit! Go to the Daniels-Yuan fight in the clip below to know what I'm talking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish PM studios were atill around,while there movies were not high art, I prefer them to all the Ayslum dross, that clogs DVD store shelves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted October 24, 2017 Member Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Well, Joseph Merhi (the M of the company on the right) is a successful real estate developer these days. Here's his official website: https://www.josephmerhi.com/ As for Richard Pepin (the P of the company on the left), according to IMDB, his last film credit was executive producer on the 2009 horror film Sutures. Can only guess that he's retired. One of their first MA films was East L.A. Warriors, which looks to have the same set as Ring of Fire for the in-ring fight scenes LOL Edited October 24, 2017 by AlbertV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The useally great, Bill Smith is completely wasted, and it didnt look like he was in good health at the time he made the film. I might re-visist it for a review one day.

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted December 20, 2018 Moderator Share Posted December 20, 2018 Exactly 14 months since this thread was posted, and I've finally broken my PM Entertainment cherry. The guilty party was 'Rage', and I gave it the full review treatment here - http://cityonfire.com/rage-1995-review-gary-daniels-pm-entertainment/ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted December 20, 2018 Member Share Posted December 20, 2018 Trailer for Final Impact - Michael Worth's film debut and features Jeff Langton as the current champ who dethroned Lorenzo Lamas' character Firepower - starring Chad McQueen and Gary Daniels and would be the only film appearance of the late pro wrestler Ultimate Warrior, credited under his birth name of Jim Hellwig. A Dangerous Place - T.J. Roberts in this martial arts/Lifetime movie hybrid about a teen who infiltrates the karate team responsible for his brother's death. Tiger Heart - T.J. Roberts' final martial arts film let alone PM film. He would go on to temporarily retire yet make an appearance in 2008's Milk directed by Gus Van Sant and has appeared in a few short films since. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His son is popular actor Cole Hauser, who appeared in films like Dazed and Confused, School Ties, The Family That Preys, and followed in his dad's footsteps with the action thriller Paparazzi, where he played an action movie star who seeks revenge on the photographers that caused his family to be in a major accident.
