[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Penn] ### Summary In a future where Earth
is a polluted, crime-ridden hellhole and the rich live on the moon passing their
time with VR fantasies and organ upgrades (which is totally not going to happen,
right? … RIGHT?), the last of the Cyberons is hired by the widow of a VR fantasy
designer murdered by organ thieves to hunt down his killers on the deadly
streets of New Los Angeles. ### Opinion The moment I saw the title “Future
Kick”, I had to see it. Fans of the TV show Community will understand why.

[https://community-sitcom.fandom.com/wiki/Kickpuncher] This Roger
Corman-produced flick wisely gives the other actors most of the lines and lets
Don kick. My first Don movie, and until I started browsing free streaming, I
hadn’t realized just how many, many, many Don Wilson movies were out there!
Overall, a competent straight-to-video actioner with a few gonzo deaths yet
still fails to enthuse. Meg Foster at least brings some humanity to the screen,
but Chris Penn, the year before Reservoir Dogs, in particular seems wasted. (In
hindsight, I should clarify I mean “underutilized”, not “intoxicated”.) ## Movie

I think I might have found one possible source of inspiration for the Kickpuncher franchise: Future Kick (1991), starring Don “The Dragon” Wilson.
