If you have no affinity for the tournament brawlers of yesteryear, you may struggle, but genre fans will find a lot to enjoy. I loved it and bring on the sequel!

I love that the writers don't even tried to make sense. An evil organization kidnap the daughter of a struggling point Karate champion to force him to compete? I guess a million dollars price is nothing this day. Maybe a year supply of Viagra because the competitors average age is 65. This could have worked better as a parody.

This was kind of great, but kidnapping other people family so as to fight each other wether you like it or not, was kinda of complicated. The huge guy who was unbeatable, was finally diffited.

I am on the side of the fans who actually appreciate this film. Loved the music and the fights. Anyone who is in it for great acting and an amazing story truly lives in the wrong world. All the classics had bad acting and dumb stories.

Please pay no attention to any review that has 4 stars or better, those people have no idea what they are talking about and most likely did not see the movies we grew up on. Movies like kickboxer and bloodsport. The acting is horrendous and the fight choreography is nothing like the afore mentioned movies. This movie will most likely make u mad as a fan of the genre.

I do like the genre, but dislike the movie. The acting is just worse than anything I've ever seen. Fight choreography is only so-so. Feels like a high school project.
