Immortal Combat, also known as Resort to Kill[1] is a 1994 action film directed by Dan Neira.[2] The plot involves an East-meets-West buddy scenario, starring martial artist Sonny Chiba, wrestler Roddy Piper, Meg Foster and Tiny Lister.[3]

Plot

Four years before Rush Hour, an L.A. cop (Piper) and an exchange officer from Asia who speaks poor English (Chiba) become fast friends. Oh yeah, they are reincarnated Mayan warriors themselves. So their drug sting at a fancy hotel gets messed up and they take on the products of an evil corporation, HybriCo run by Foster, producing invincible, ninja warriors for international distribution. Lister plays a gargantuan monster that takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Deron McBee, fresh off his stint as Malibu on American Gladiators plays the final heavy "Signature Killer." It served an excellent audition for a later role in Mortal Kombat.[4][5] And it turns out, if you behead them or burn them with fire, they are not so immortal.[6]

Response

The film scored 39% out of 1,793 responses on Rotten Tomatoes.[7]
