The Greatest White Guy Karate Movie Ever Made

In this action packed episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we roundhouse kick our way into the world of early 90s action cinema to explore what might just be the greatest white-guy karate movie ever made. Jerry unleashes a flurry of punches with the surprising revelation that the 1994 blockbuster Speed was originally intended as a sequel to this high-kicking adventure. Hollywood may have taken a different path, but this film still delivers a knockout punch for fans of martial arts mayhem.

Our hero, who initially threw his hat in the ring for the lead role in Kickboxer, ended up stepping into the ring as a replacement for Jean-Claude Van Damme in this flick. The movie also features a breakout performance by a young Mariska Hargitay, who later became a powerhouse on Law and Order: SVU. Sadly, 90% of her scenes were chopped down like a swift karate chop. To top it off, the film packs an extra punch with the inclusion of the 90s anthem "The Power" by SNAP!, making the fight scenes hit even harder.

This episode is particularly emotional for Jerry as he reflects on the impact this martial arts gem had on him. Join him as he kicks through the behind-the-scenes stories, delivers a few jabs of trivia, and throws in some heartfelt moments. Whether you're a black belt in 90s action or just love a good cinematic showdown, this episode will have you hooked from the first punch to the final round.
