Director Al Adamson, creator of such exploitation classics as DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN and NAUGHTY STEWADESSES, decided in the mid 70s to jump on the Kung Fu bandwagon, working with ENTER THE DRAGON co-star Jim Kelly for a couple of features. One result of this epic teaming is THE KILL FACTOR. The threadbare plot revolves around a super villain known as "The Pig" (Harold Sakata) who owns the world's first 'freeze bomb." Unfortunately, the sneaky scientist he was holding captive put that microchip plans in his female assistant Felicia's forehead (!) and sent her off to find the authorities. It is now a race between "The Pig" and Detective John Ash (Jim Kelly) to find Felicia and the plans.
Always the keen exploiter, Adamson added some Bruceploitation into the KILL FACTOR mix by adding Bruce Lee wannabe Myron Bruce Lee. Lee's onscreen credit says "Introducing Myron Bruce Lee," but should have said "outroducing" as well, seeing as this is his one and only feature. Then again, after seeing this, you may know why. Bearing little resemblance to Bruce Lee, one gets the feeling Myron was cast merely because he was Asian. Starring as Kelly's old partner Lee (how original), Myron is quite possibly the most effeminate Bruce Lee impersonator to ever grace the screen. His punches and kicks look weak as he prances around. His initial dialogue with Kelly over the phone is priceless:
Kelly: Tell me, how is our good friend "The Pig?"Trash movie aficionados and Bruceploitation fans alike should definitely check out Al Adamson's THE KILL FACTOR, a film so absolutely mindless that one has to see it in order to believe it. Featuring a multitude of washed up talents, is it a masterpiece from the brain damaged independent cinema of yesteryear. Then again, how could a film featuring Harold "Oddjob" Sakata saying, "Which reminds me, your new girls have such tiny tits" not be a classic?
Lee (angry): He still stinks!
