Fist of Justice

This would be an instantly forgettable action film, were it not for a sexy standout performance by Everson. Her vicious villain steals the show every time she is on screen, right up to her brutal fight to the death with the films heroine.

Watch it for the wonderful Cory Everson, skip the rest!

Apart from Richard Roundtree playing around, Marjean is all that recommends this waste of film. Marjean is a taller, slimmer, less chunky Marjean than we saw in the '99 Nikita episode. There are a couple scenes where we see her sprint like the track star she was...great form! She's pretty quick and snappy with the martial arts moves, but not enough to stay in the business as an action actress

Quite a decent low-budget action movie which focuses on female characters for a charge. Anybody with preconceived notions about "The Weaker Sex" may have to change their tune after watching statuesque cop Marjean Holden duking it out with ruthless muscle lady Cory Everson in a standout fight sequence that took all day to film.

And by the way SC50, I met Marjean in 1999 and, as well as being funny and charming, she was definitely NOT chunky!

This is a really great action film. Being in Australia, the movie down here was called "Fist of Justice", not Ballastic. It really did have some great action scenes, when the girls face off against each other in a death match, and the drop-dead gorgeous Marjean Holden wins, and when Sam the Fighting Man defeats the other guy in the test, and I think the Gun-Fight between Marjean's on-screen father and the Asian guy was also good. I can say that I recommend this movie to anyone, a typical ending, good prevails over evil, but the action is what scores this movie points. There are some adult scenes in this movie, that is all OK, some other great movies have had such scenes, such as Basic Instinct... the big bonus this movie contained was that it was a female/male action movie, not just based on single sex-based action movie, like Charlie's Angels (Ladies) or Die Hard (Males) - this movie is more broken down and a little like street fighter in the gender base. I give it 7/10

This movie has been on my list a long time because it has a few scenes where women fight and beat up men. I finally saw it and the movie's not so bad at all. Marjean Holden plays a detective whose dad, played by Shaft (Richard Roundtree), and while she tries to figure out how to get her dad out of jail, a philanthropist and all around bad guy, Nick, is paying off cops and doing evil stuff like drug deals and underground fights. Marjean and the guy who plays her boyfriend team up to take down Nick and the crooked cops The fighters in this movie actually know what they're doing. Michael Jai White, Corinna Everson, and others are martial artists as are the other characters. This is available on Youtube if you search the name and year.
