Reception
editA review on The Action Elite reads, "if you watch the movie now for the first time you’d probably just laugh at it especially with some of the acting but movies like this are my favourite of the action genre and I can never get tired of watching one man take down an entire town full of bad guys. There are fight scenes every few minutes, a short run time (an hour and 19 minutes) and a few twists to the story to keep things interesting."[2]
A review on Bulletproof Action reads, "With its quick run time and constant action, One Man Army breezes by, and if you’re like me, you’ll be wishing Jerry Trimble got more time in the martial arts movie spotlight."[3]
Joe Bob Briggs wrote, "Twelve dead bodies. Twelve breasts. Aardvarking. Skinny-dipping during an automaticweapons attack. Two motor vehicle chases. Two brawls. Two explosions. Three gunbattles. Guy crushed by a car. Strangulation. Gratuitous wifebeating. Twelve Kung Fu scenes. Volkswagen Beetle Fu. Tire iron Fu. Skilsaw Fu."[4]
