KOBK available again!

At present, Kill Or be Killed is available for instant viewing on Netflix.

After years of digging around for an available copy of the film in any playable format, I finally got to watch it in all it's...er, um...glory.

Personally, I have to say I believe KKA is far superior in its entertainment value, but it was great to finally see what was likely its impetus.

UPDATE 10/2012: It appears at this time KOBK is no longer available through Netflix. However, with a little research, viewing may still be possible through secondary market or underground sources.

Profile in Style: Gorilla

Early in the film, Gorilla tells Steve how he was banned from pro wrestling for biting the ears off his opponents when he won (maybe Mike Tyson saw this movie as a kid too!). So amongst a group of mostly martial artists, his is a style of simple brute force.

The Signature Modus Operandi



Choke yo' punk ass!









And chokin' yo' punk ass!











Come here so I can choke yo' punk ass!










Surprise! Yo' punk ass is choked!







The Nutcracker


How's that size 18 in the crotch feel?







The Head Butt


That's gonna leave a mark!








The Moe Howard Head Knock



Oooh, a couple of wiseguys!








The Fake Arm Bar



Yeah, I'm pretty sure the human
arm is meant to bend that way.








The Helicopter


A little cliche, but always good for a laugh.







The School Yard Showdown


Nothing like a good old-fashioned game of "mercy"







The Passive-Aggressive



Hey, Gorilla. Did you happen to notice a bunch of people fighting all around you?

Minor Character Spotlight: Gas Station Attendant


Cast in the role of "Gas Station Attendant," South African actor Deon Stewardson made his on-screen debut in
KKA.

Stewardson appears as a New Babylonian "citizen" who sprays blue potato fuel everywhere when the mind control drug begins to wear off. He then runs away from the Chief Guard and is quickly subdued by a cadre of no less than five guards and receives a "reinforcement" injection from a male nurse who seems to magically jump into the scene from nowhere.

While Stewardson landed a number of acting jobs throughout the 80s and 90s, he is best known for his current role as Anders Du Plessis on the British television series
Wild At Heart.
