Steve Nekoda (Joel D. Wynkoop) is a good guy having a bad day. After run-ins with both the corrupt local cops and a satanic biker gang, his world is turned upside down when his beautiful, model wife is kidnapped by an evil karate master (David Bardsley) and his nefarious henchmen; who keep a harem of abducted women confined in a jungle prison awaiting their sale into a white slavery ring. Nekoda soon realizes that it will require much more than just his heroic courage and martial arts expertise to defeat his enemies and rescue his wife. He must first reach deep down inside his soul and attempt to regain his Lost Faith!
Lost Faith is a brain melting, SOV martial arts / action passion project from B-movie luminary (and frequent Tim Ritter collaborator) Joel D. Wynkoop (Creep, Killing Spree), who wrote, produced, directed, edited, starred, and even sang the film’s memorable theme song! Shot regionally in and around South Florida, Lost Faith delivers a high octane roundhouse kick of backyard karate hijinks, over the top amateur thespians, and a head-scratching dose of Christian moral overtones that lands somewhere between the bewildering, do-all antics of Champagne and Bullets and a poverty row Chuck Norris epic. Saturn’s Core is proud to present Lost Faith in its definitive Blu-Ray edition, newly compiled with a treasure trove of over 8 hours of special features!
