Sam and Gus are back for another Cat-tastic adventure. With Cheever dead, a new villain has literally punched his way up the corporate ladder and installed himself as the leader of Cheever’s old gang. It once again falls on our fighting feline vigilantes to finish the gang off once and for all. “But what about the movie’s other 70 minutes,” you ask? Unclear! There’s a subplot involving an escaped convict caught up in violent gang war, and another about a woman with a mysterious secret involving nuclear weapons searching for her uncle deep in the jungles of Thailand San Francisco. But mostly what it is is fighting… like *a lot* of fighting… like twentysomething different fight scenes featuring fists, guns, swords, sticks, stones, nunchucks, tables, chairs, and even a weedwacker all flying furiously across your screen, truly defying the definition of “filler”.
“CATMAN IN BOXER’S BLOW is truly one of the masterworks of the decade […] It also contains a vivid and livley [sic] musical score- it is un-parraleled [sic] even to the masterpeices [sic] of mozart, beethoven, bach, and others. It’s a fine movie that is for the whole family to enjoy.”

(Spectacle would once again like to note that this is most certainly not a movie for the whole family to enjoy. Please do not bring your kids.)
