Mel Novak is an action star who is best known for his performance as Stick the Assassin in Bruce Lee’s final film Game of Death (1978). Having starred in more than 60 feature films, he has given no indication that he is slowing down and following on for the success of Syndicate Smasher (2017) Mel has several new projects which are due for release soon. I got a chance to ask Mel as few questions about how he got into acting, doing his own fight scenes, stunts and whether there are any characters he like an opportunity to portray on screen again…

A group of mercenaries hired as contract killers are hunted down by the Mafia, the Yakuza, the Russian Mob, and the Tongs all at once. Syndicate Smasher is an action flick which is a homage back to the action films of the 80’s where the good guys are hard as nails and the villain’s shoot as accurate as a blindfolded storm trooper. In the end the bodies are piled high in this cheesy but fun action film which is best described on IMDb, in the trivia section, as “eligible for Guinness world record of most gunshots in film history!” Which pretty much sums up what sort of movie you can expect.
