The film was made in South Africa by South African film makers in 1976 under the title Karate Killers. The name was changed to Kill and be Killed to suit an American audience. James Ryan was a South African born actor. He was trained in martial arts. He again played in a later follow up called Kill and kill again. He was also involved in other enterprises regarding martial arts, but I do not know of any other martial arts films he made - even though he was very active in many other film and tv-series in several countries, he also wrote and directed films and tv.
i think he did but what surprises me is that I do not believe he did any other martial arts film after Kill and Kill Again, that could be the film you're referring to where James recruits his team together in an Enter the Dragon formula.
@@jonzwikk1582 I believe he was those martial art punches and kicks looked very good and accurate. Stan Schmidt and Norman Robinson who both played in both films were real martial artists.
