Genocidal white supremacists make the fatal error of tangling with the frankly un-killable trio of Jim Brown, Fred Williamson and Jim Kelly.
Average fare for the genre and all three actors produced superior solo work during the period, but solid stunts and unceasing action make Three the Hard Way an enjoyable enough watch. It also briefly features a bizarre topless torture squad of female bikers.

Somehow I missed out on(avoided...) seeing this until very recently, but finally got my opportunity to view it on the big screen as part of the BFI's John Boorman retrospective.
Seen in a Boorman context alongside the likes of 'Excalibur' and 'Zardoz', it made a lot more sense…
