Jeff Speakman returns as the chicken in a basket Van Damme after having a minor success with The Perfect Weapon.
Street Knight sees him as an ex-cop who quit the force following a botched hostage situation where he failed to rescue a young girl from the clutches of a token madman.
Ultimately, he's convinced to get back into the game when a damsel in distress asks for his help when a gangland attack finds a member of her family killed.
It's an atypical plot and narrative, but it's worth watching because it was Cannon films final production, and Speakmans last real chance at a cinematic career.
Let's just say that Speakman hasn't really been heard of in a very long time, and it's plain to see with this film, he cannot act for a toffee, and although he's a master of Ken-Po, he fights like a constipated water rat.
The Perfect Weapon worked because it had familiar faces from eighties action movies, and had a decent production value. This, is really cheap looking and feels rushed, the editing is pretty shocking in some scenes, and even though this comes from Cannon, the masters of eighties cheese and making Chuck Norris a household name, it's bad, even for them.
So the film consists of Speakman waking up with the sweats every other scene following night terrors of his incident, flash forward to a lethargic action scene, and him wafting his perfect mullet every couple of minutes.
It's pretty mundane for a Cannon film, there are no over the top elements that make their productions stand out for all the wrong reasons, it just plods along until the predictable finale.
It's a must for a Cannon completest, but others should avoid it like the plague.
