Audience Member Hilariously bad dubbing & dialogue, loads of cheesy 80s music & fashion and plenty to cornball kung-fu fighting all add up to a spectacularly entertaining film! If you're looking to ironically enjoy a film, this is an excellent choice. Until I watched this film, I think I'd forgotten the men used to actually wear midriff bearing half-shirts. And did I mention there is also breakdancing? One note of trivia, this film features the film debut of Thomas F. Wilson, better known as Biff from the "Back to the Future" films. My three star rating does not reflect actual film quality, but it does reflect the amount of entertainment I got out of watching this film Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Worst Best movie ever. Instant classic :) Hilariously amazingly wrong and awesome at the same time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a heck of a film. It is a Korean film shot in LA. It features street gangs who are interracial, are enrolled in college, and fight each other with 4 foot sticks; you know, just like real street gangs. One is lead by a typical gang leader / college student, a man with a receding hairline who is about forty and lives with his mother who's about the same age as he is, maybe a bit younger. Not the actor I would have chosen for the roll, but he is probably world-famous in Korea, so why not? To the extent there is a message to the film, it is that America is a bad place for Koreans, and that Los Angeles though violent is completely devoid of guns. The budget is low, the fights poorly choreographed, the dialog is badly dubbed (even the Americans), the screenplay is lousy, and the direction and editing is amateurish. Still, there is a certain camp quality to it, and I've wasted time in worse ways on a Friday night. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member It has some of the most unintentionally hilarious dubbing and dialogue I've ever seen. It's got the 80s martial arts movie characteristic where outnumbered heroes routinely eff up 10 times their number of bad guys without breaking a sweat. Actors who look like they're 40 play high school characters to ludicrous effect. Still, this has probably got to be the first Asian-American street gang movie ever, so it gets a star. It gets another star for having a white teenage gang leader be a Chinese dude who can barely speak English. Still debating whether to add a half star for the best black-man-crying-about-sleeping-on-the-streets scene ever. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Dull Korean chop socky set in Los Angeles. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Cleverly bad because the actors and choreographers genuinely thought they were putting on a serious product. It's genius is on par with "The Room." Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
