If you grew up during the 90’s fecund era of straight-to-VHS martial arts flicks headlined by professional kickboxers, you can tell that “Breathing Fire” has “B-movie” written all over it.

Breathing Fire is the family saga of the Moore clan. Michael Moore (Trimble), who is the original Michael Moore and not to be confused with the noted unappealing and unpleasant blowhard who stole his name, masterminded a bank heist and stole plenty of gold bars.
