Along the way, fights break out, giving Ryan and the cast a chance to showcase their fists of fury and magical jumping abilities, taking on various baddies as they come together as a powerful unit. Violence isn't raw in "Kill and Kill Again," maintaining cartoon appeal with broad showdowns, making the endeavour experience like a comic volume accommodation, and the Bond references are spread around, from the chief title sequence to Marduk's Dr. No-style wardrobe, adding some cinematic style to an endeavor that conspicuously doesn't have enough coin to truly bring every idea to life (the fake beard on Marduk is distractingly bad).
