True Vengeance (1997)

Interesting facts

True Vengeance is a 1997 American action film directed by David Worth, starring Daniel Bernhardt, Miles O'Keeffe, Beverly Johnson and George Cheung. Bernhardt stars as a former Navy SEAL and Yakuza henchman who must twice face his past when his old clan, looking to silence him, hires his former military squadmate (O'Keeffe), with whom he had a falling out, to take him down.

Production

The film had the working title of Truth or Consequences. It was screenwriter Kurt Johnstad's first produced script. Leading man Daniel Bernhardt and his favorite crew, consisting of stunt people Chad Stahelski, Philip Tan, Brad Martin and Tim Rigby (who was his double on the shoot), all returned from previous installments of the Bloodsport franchise.

Worth was introduced to the project by line producer John Broderick, for whom he done some second unit work in the 1980s. The film was produced by siblings Alan and Diane Mehrez, who had also made Bernhardt's Bloodsport films, and came from a privileged background. Although Worth found Diane to be reasonably knowledgeable about film production, the same could not be said about Alan. The film was shot in 24 days.
