I had the Greek VHS on ebay about two weeks ago and was sold...
However I have no idea if it's uncut. A cool film, didn't look cut to me, but I cannot be sure and I've never watched any other versions tpo compare...

Don Gordon Bell is on my FB friend's list, he was in NAKED FIST and a little while ago he wrote about his part in the film:

Jillian and I had a fight sequence, with rattan canes, the Filipino stick-fighting art of Escrima or Kali. Director Cirio told her to "don't hold back, Don can take it". I just looked back at the Director knew this was going to be a 'though... one'. I do believe that our fight scene was definitely NOT fake, but Jillian did ask me several time, "oh, are you okay" to which I would reply oh, sure, I can take it. LOL I had lumps all over my head, joints, hands. But that was "SHOW BUSINESS! What a way to make a living.


The film is out on VHS in Sweden and Denmark. I know there's also a German DVD bootleg but it's dubbed in German and has English subs, LOL. I'd rather go for the VHS any day (besides the boot is probably sourced from a VHS anyway).

Btw, FIRECRACKER is a remake of Cirio's own TNT JACKSON from '75 and he remade it again as ANGELFIST in '92! Talk about loving a script!! :lol:

Fred Adelman reviewed the film here:

- and he mentions that the US tape unly runs 77 min.
