U.S. Catman: Lethal Track (1990)

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Stalwart of many a previous Tomas Tang ninja flick released under Filmark International's banner and hiding under various other pseudonyms whilst usually playing a sneering, villainous role, Jonathan Isgar (if this is indeed the actors real name) here gets to play the good guy for a change.....and a highly memorable good guy at that! When he is scratched by a radioactive cat(!) our man develops superhuman powers including laser vision and electro/psychokinetic abilities which he puts to honourable use in the fight against crime and more especially against the evil satanic priest, Cheever who is intending to take over the world....or something. Of course, with Alton Cheung i.e. the legendary Godfrey Ho at the helm, this is typically a cut & paste slap up so don't expect to be seeing too much of our masked crusader sadly. Even more regretfully, the film into which Catman's scenes have been edited is a hopelessly mundane Filipino action outing starring hardworking Thai superstar, Sorapong Chatri who as if to further indicate how bland matters in his scenes are, himself looks somewhat disinterested in the unfolding events. Nonetheless, although said factor does admittedly detract from the overall enjoyment level experienced from the film, don't let such scenes of tedium put you off viewing this, for the sequences in which Catman features are truly priceless stuff indeed! The jewel in the crown here is doubtlessly the hilarious, profanity filled dialogue though which just has to be experienced to be believed. Indeed, our hero himself is not above letting off some meticulously placed 'F' words in the face of danger.....or when dispatching of a foe in style! Believe the hype, Catman In Lethal Track is a true bad movie delight and is highly recommended for fans of warped, wayward quality! So good is this in fact, that a sequel inevitably followed although, it has to be said was sadly not nearly as much fun.

This movie was fantastic, as a fan of martial art movies I would have to say that this film was in my top five. Tas Lehozcky is a magnificent actor I can not believe he hasn't starred in more movies. This film is recommend to any fan of the martial arts genre. ***** also suggest, Catman: Boxer's Blow!! I actually had the honor of meeting Tas once. The stories he told about making the movie and traveling around Europe are amazing, and very entertaining. He also talks a lot about his family and how close they are to each other. We stayed in touch for about a month and then he moved on; he is one of the most free spirited people I have ever met. Tas if you ever get on and read this contact me. I would love to hear from you. Love, your devoted fans

This movie was absolutely brillant. I mean it was good and funny. No one could possibly hate this movie. My friend bought this movie for $3 and it was the best $3 ever spent in my opinion. There are so many positives about this movie I don't know where to start. But I give it a 11/10 for greating acting and a wonderful plot. The props used were so realistic looking also. Buy this movie now and you will not be disappointed.

I HOPE you are kidding by saying that this movie is great. I mean, don't get me wrong, it is fun in an MST3K sort of way... but to actually say this is a good movie in print, well, that could get you sued for libel. I mean, this movie SUCKED in every sense of the word and to make matters worse, it told two completely separate stories that didn't even connect! What was with Catman's secret weapon? It looked like concentrated cat urine! I don't even know what this movie was supposed to be about. Davis Lynch couldn't follow this crap plot. On the other hand, it is enjoyable to watch because of all the bad lines, horrible acting, lame special effects, and the overall guano story. Bottomline: Pick this up if you want a good, cheap laugh. In the words of the great Tom Servo, "Still, it's a better movie than Batman and Robin."
