Movie Reviews of Best of the Best
Movie Review: Well Done!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a truly great martial arts film!! Good fighting sequences, excellent story line and surprising emotion from the actors throughout! A great movie for all ages! A classic for those in the martial arts community!Movie Review: Husband's favorite childhood movie
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband raved about how he loved this movies as a child, so I ordered it as a Valentines Day gift this year. Good movie if you enjoy 80's martial arts movies like Karate Kid, etc. I liked it.Movie Review: Good as Karate Kid but NOT action-packed as Bloodsport! :(
Summary: 3 Stars
I hate so say this but this movie left me unsatisfied.
To be honest, is actually good. I mean... the acting is kind of cool, the concept is interesting, the ending is unpredictable, and the fight scenes are kind of intense (even for a PG-13 movie).
NOW! What makes this movie sooo disappointing to me is the action! There are ONLY 3 action scenes: the short training scene at the beginning, the bar scene in the middle, and the final fights in the tournament at the end. The first two action scenes are so-so, but the real action comes at the tournament.
In all the fight scenes the cameras mainly focus on the fighter's faces instead of their movements! THAT'S NOT COOL! The only fight that you see a lot of cool movements is the last one. :(
Another thing that bothers me is the picture quality. It's too dark.
To conclude this, I must say that this movie doesn't suck. It's just not for action-packed junkies. If you like martial arts movies like Karate Kid then maybe you can give this one a chance. But if you want action movies with martial arts like Bloodsport or Fearless then this one is NOT for you.
Adios.
Movie Review: Good Story. Weak Script
Summary: 3 Stars
It would be fair to say of this film, being made almost twenty years ago, with a pretty low budget, it holds it's own, despite it's weak script. The acting, anchored by the always brilliant James Earl Jones along with Eric Roberts and cast, is fine. But the film might not be too entertaining for a martial arts film fanatic. Unlike Best of the Best II, which I definitely recommend, the fight scenes here don't come as frequent and aren't as graphic as what might be seen in your average martial arts flick. But it's worth every minute to see Phillip Rhee's mesmerizing skills at work. Check it out.Movie Review: what are you all talking about?
Summary: 1 Stars
This is one of the FUNNIEST movies ever made. Packed from start to finish with unintentional comedy... James Earl Jones pushing 300 lbs as a karate coach, Sally Kirkland breaking cinder blocks with flowing bleach-blonde locks, chubby Chris Penn making the national karate team and always wearing a cowboy hat. One of the evil Korean karate masters has one eye! Does anybody know how hard it is to fight with one eye?!
Not a single casting decision in this movie makes any sense, the acting is laughable in every scene, and the plot is completely formulaic. But that is what makes it so enjoyable. I don't know what anybody else that reviewed this movie was thinking, or smoking at the time they submitted reviews, but I find it surprising, given the content of their reviews, that they are capable of operating a modern personal computer.
