SWORD OF HONOR is a straight to video action thriller from Australia. It was put out by PM Entertainment, who were making plenty of mildly enjoyable action-filled movies during these years, and SWORD OF HONOR follows that trend. The hackneyed plot involves a retiring cop being killed by an evil gangster and his partner swearing revenge. The story features plenty of melodrama and overacting (particularly on the part of the main villain). What's interesting is that the fight scenes are pretty good on the limited funds available and seem to have been inspired by Hong Kong choreography. To hit the similarities home further, martial artist Sophia Crawford (star of the infamous ESCAPE FROM BROTHEL) co-stars and gets to fight a little too.
