Action Delirium
Whoa. I wonder if it's possible for an action movie to have too much action. If any film comes close, it's Back in Action. This is a trashy B action flick from 1993 that's about the most fun you can have with a direct-to-video movie. It's on the level of Drive (1997) and Rage (1995) in terms of direct-to-video gems, and is a seriously solid action movie.
Billy Blanks and Roddy Piper make for a great team, with Blanks' stoic intensity and persona complimenting Roddy's insanity. Roddy is as OTT as ever, and it almost comes close to a Nic Cage performance. Blanks, while nowhere close to even sniffing any acting awards, makes up for his lack of acting ability with some cool martial arts. He is to Wesley Snipes as Scott Adkins is to Jason Statham. He was the Wesley Snipes of the DTV market, but unlike Snipes, he isn't afraid to actually do a lot of fight scenes. Blanks has good fight scenes, and the dude looks almost psychotic when he's killing people. Piper has a lot of good action scenes too, and boy does he get beaten up in this one. He takes some of the most brutal punishment of his film career here, suffering beatings he hasn't seen the likes of since the alley scene in They Live (1988).
The action is relentless, and though it slows down a bit at the start of the third act, there is quite an abundance of action scenes here. The makers of this film know what we want, and doesn't worry about silly little things like plot and pacing. I counted eleven or twelve action sequences. There are 7-8 fight scenes, 3 shootouts, and a car chase. None of it seems cheap or low budget, and there are some cool explosions. Piper and Blanks both have great fight scenes, and they really give 100%. The fight between Blanks an Piper was very entertaining. The action is brutal and bloody, and this probably the most bloody DTV movie I've seen since Silent Trigger (1996). 
I highly recommend this to action fans. It's full of action, while still managing to have a mostly coherent story (even if some things just happen for no reason), and it's definitely worth a look.
