RiffTrax: Honor and Glory (Full FREE Movie)

Cynthia Rothrock doesn't get the credit she deserves. She may have been in some crappy movies, but she's actually a very accomplished and talented martial artist and should have been way more popular in films than she was.

In her first 38 tournaments, Cynthia Rothrock took first place in forms 32 times and first place in weapons 12 times, including competing in "Men's Forms" three out of four times as there was no Women's Division. She was "Grand Master" of five tournaments and came in first place in 4 out of 5 fighting events.

Derek Savage probably knew what a horrible mistake that was since he was doing something that was illegal and could count as a felony which he really didn’t need given his previous arrest of owning an unregistered machine gun. And he lost every copyright strike he had made on KZbin.

[@BERTMARCH]

Even in a film like this, where the directions and fight choreography isn't that great Rothrock's skill shines through - Rothrock is a black belt in like, seven styles and was a world champ. Her career in American films should have matched her screen presence - among the "what if" movie projects that make you wonder what could have been, William Friedkin had spent years working on an action film based on the long-running series of paperback action novels "The Executioner" created by Don Pendleton. Stallone was attached to play the protagonist, ex-Special Forces officer turned vigilante turned off-the-books covert operative Mack Bolan. Rothrock got a call from Friedkin one day, just after making the two "China O'brien" films, and Friedkin and Stallone wanted her for a major role in the film. However, it never came out of development.

[@kenthuang436]

And then Derek Savage put her in the *third* version of his first Cool Cat movie.

[@calumsanderson6741]

Friedkin was a loon especially in later years but my god, people mention how Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy 3 not happening is the biggest crime in cinema. Honestly, I've been doing a deep dive into Rothrock's film career and one of the biggest crimes in cinema is not putting her against people like Stallone in giant studio movies. She's so likeable and obviously fun to watch when she's kicking arse.

[@cabronicusmaximuschingonic1062]
