James Ryan originally burst onto the movie scene as a sinewy and lean
martial arts hero via two low budget South African financed martial
arts movies titled
Karate Killer (1976), and the sequel
Kill and Kill Again (1981). Both films were
rather shoddy, mechanical productions...however, the acrobatic Ryan had
a certain appeal and the movies were loaded with plenty of kicks and
punches, plus they featured 8th Dan Shotokan karate expert
Stan Schmidt and
fellow South African 8th Dan Judo / karate exponent
Norman Robinson .....both
members of the South African Martial Arts Hall of Fame.
