 Good charcters, Great Casting and good action sequences with a story about the winning spirit September 29, 2008
Ryan E. Wool (NYC, NY)
James Earl Jones hands down one of his better choices playing the role of the Team USA coach in this movie about the International Karate Championships. Your character was creepy, the tone of that movie was unsettling in a bad way, and the lion cloth should never be cut that short on Ah-nold.
Back to this movie, this is one my favorites because of the character development and storylines each charcter has throughout the movie. The Best of the Best has a dynamic cast, the late Chris Penn and a young Eric Roberts. This can stand as one of my favorite sports movies, like MIRACLE starring Kurt Russell about the US Olympic hockey them from the 70's that beat Russia.
The story can be predictable and cheesy but there are heartfelt moments at the end of this long journey to the top.

This movie was one of the best martial arts movies I have seen. I enjoy watching because I laugh at parts but also can watch with my dad. I recommed this to everyone.
One of the best films for martial arts fans ever April 1, 2008
M. Birse (Adelaide, SA Australia)
I first saw this movie when it was a new release on video and loved it. I even purchased a copy of the movie second hand when the video store had a sale. but when the tape wore out and eventually no longer viewable i almost cried. Now i found the DVD on Amazon, All happy again. great fight scenes and even pulls on a few heart strings. Great Movie.

One of the most ridiculous, unrealistic martial arts movie ever made.
Just look attentively at Eric Robert's stance in the ring. And that idiotic cowboy hat that Chris Penn wearing and sobbing:"What are you counting them for?" after losing the breaking match. Yeah! This is as close to reality as it can be. And the crowd at the bar rooting for the American karate team? Give me a break! Phillip Rhee and the Korean team are the only people who make any sense as far as martial arts in this movie.
Best of the best? No! Worst of the worst!
You want real action? Watch ISKA Strike Force K1.
