Ulterior Motives, also known as Kill Fee, is a 1993 martial arts action thriller film written and directed by James Becket, starring Thomas Ian Griffith and Mary Page Keller.[1][2][3] The film follows Erica Boswell (Keller), a reporter pursuing a story about a businessman who may be selling American secrets to the Japanese. Boswell enlists the help of private detective Jack Blaylock (Griffith) to investigate and the two of them quickly discover that the case is even more complex and dangerous than they thought.

Ulterior Motives had a straight-to-video release in the United States. It was the second collaboration between Griffith and Keller, who had previously co-starred in the soap opera Another World and are married in real life. Griffith also has a story credit and a producer credit, while Keller is credited as a co-producer.
