A really neat (*) Canadian Assault on Precinct 13 derivative with a great synth score. The police are on a strike when a group of fascists attack a gay bar. They execute everyone except one man who escapes and seek shelter in an apartment. The good MacGyvers in the apartment turn the house into a fortress and use anything they can as weapons against the gang.

I just picked up the Japanese DVD as it seems to have gone OOP. This is the 10 min longer Japanese release of the film. The transfer looks like a good VHS, which is way better than the shorter, softer, paler, cropped version floating on YouTube under the title Self Defense.
I hear there is a German DVD also, but I don’t know which version it is and what’s the quality like.
