RING OF FIRE 01 Johnny Woo (Wilson) is a talented surgeon who is strictly focused on his career. His cousin Terry (Vincent Leigh) on the other hand, is a reckless gang member who enjoys participating in underground fighting competitions. When one of his fights gets out of control, Terry finds his duel with two fellow competitors, Brad (Jacoby) and Chuck (Murdocco) spilling out onto the streets of Los Angeles. Johnny does his best to try and keep the peace, but when he meets Chucks girlfriend Julie (Ford) he finds himself instantly smitten. Now their battles are becoming personal and each man will find themselves entering the ring of fire to fight for the cause they believe in. Despite the somewhat gritty (and Johnny Cash-esque) sounding title, Ring of Fire is actually a loose reworking of Shakespeares classic tragedy Romeo and Juliet. This means that the film is made up of all the now infamous plot points, such as feuding factions, forbidden love, and a slightly unhappy ending. Of course, this is also a B-movie in every sense of the term so I wouldnt go in expecting anything close to a solid reinterpretation. Instead, what the film actually delivers is a fairly painful romance mixed with some tedious confrontations with several ridiculously over-the-top villains. Despite some of these aforementioned performances being good for a laugh, most of the film is actually pretty poorly constructed and it quickly starts to outstay its welcome. As for the action on offer, Ring Of Fire only really has a couple of minor scuffles that lead up to the big finale. Strangely most of these occur without Wilson as his character refuses to fight for the majority of the film. This means that all of the action comes from the likes of Steven Vincent Leigh, Dale Jacoby and Gary Daniels, each of whom are clearly capable fighters. Sadly though, their skills are rarely used to good effect and we only get to see a couple of decent kicks along the way. When Wilson does eventually get in on the action, which is really just for the ending, it has to be said that its all a little underwhelming. His bout with Jacoby definitely has some bite behind it but the pacing is very slow and it all comes across as a little too comical for my liking. Ring of Fire is a bold attempt at breaking the usual martial arts B-movie mould but unfortunately it proves to be an unsuccessful one. The all-important romance simply isnt strong enough to carry the film and there is nowhere near enough action to satisfy fight fans. RING OF FIRE 02 While out shopping for an engagement ring, Johnny (Wilson) and Julie (Ford) find themselves caught up in the middle of a robbery. After Johnny manages to take down one of the attackers, he transports him to the hospital with the intention of ensuring he gets the proper care. Unfortunately, his plan goes awry when the criminal is accidentally killed and Johnny finds himself being targeted by the remainder of the gang. In an effort to have their revenge, the leader of the gang, Kalin (Jacklin), kidnaps Julie and takes her into an underground city where violence reigns supreme. Now Johnny will have to rely on his fists and feet of fury if he is to have any hope of bringing back his one true love alive. Unlike the majority of sequels to Don Wilson movies, Ring of Fire II is actually a direct follow-up to its predecessor. Its also one of those rare times where a sequel surpasses the original, mainly because it ditches the weak attempts at romance in favour of a more straightforward action movie approach. However, thats not to say that it isnt still a little well, quirky to say the least. Clearly heavily influenced by 1979s The Warriors, the film sees Wilson entering a subterranean city to take on a number of villains, all of whom look like they just stepped off the set of Mad Max. As bizarre as this may sound/look, it is in fact this far fetched backdrop combined with the simple concept of having Wilson beat up as many bad guys as possible that really makes for a genuinely fun action romp. Its also nice to see that the film always retains a link to previous events, with several characters from the first film returning to aid in Johnnys quest. In the action department, Ring of Fire II provides another welcome upgrade from the original. Sticking with some relatively simple choreography, the film has plenty of fights on offer and they definitely feel a bit faster and more exciting than they did last time around. Theres also a nice mix of opponents and varying styles for Wilson to deal with, allowing for a few rare bouts of weapon work and some solid acrobatics from the bit part players. Obviously I feel obliged to point out that it doesnt come close to the higher echelons of martial arts cinema, but its a solid effort that will most likely strike a chord with fans of low budget 80s action movies. Ring Of Fire II is a marked improvement on the first film, as well as being one of Don Wilsons best outings to date. The film takes a silly concept and knows how to have fun with it, making for an enjoyable action-packed outing that is easy on the brain.
