No Retreat No Surrender
Reviewed By: Lord High Rikonian (10/17/2009 4:58:47 PM)
Rating: 3.00 uh, martial art things
Genre: Martial Arts
Starring: Some dude, a chick, this old Russian guy, this middle aged guy and that druggie from Belgium
Plot: This dude who has a karate studio doesn't sell out to the Russian Mob, and Jean Claude Van Damme breaks his leg. Later, he's moved to a new town, and is trying to get his kid to stop studying karate. Of course this means that a gang of karate-student bullies will start harassing him.
Anyway, the kid fights off the bullies, but the fat one (yes, a fat karate student bully. Think Francis from Pee Wee's Big Adventure but without the physical fitness regimen) starts stirring up all sorts of shit, and there's a big fight with the champion or something (I forget, I didn't really pay attention to this part).
Anyway, watch for the bits with Bruce Lee's ghost (oddly enough, not played by Bruce Lee), and the big fight at the end between whatsisname and Jean Claude Van Damme.


Viewing Advice: This film's not that bad, and does have a certain charm if you like '80s movies. So all you '80s nostalgia fans should go rent it. What with the hair, music, and those damn montage training scenes that seemed to be everywhere back then, this is a classic example of '80s cinema. If, on the other hand, you hate the '80s, then you should skip this and go rent Nowhere or the Blair Witch Project, you god-damned Greatest-Decade-Ever-hating philistines!
