Movie Reviews of The Quest
Movie Review: Dissapointment..needed more work!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
what do u get when u let a international superstar like van damme direct a movie?? A very dissapointing movie.....The story itself wasn;t that great. Van damme is a clown on the streets taking care of homless kids and is chased away by cops to move elsewhere. Soon he escapes on a cargo ship and then goes on a "Quest" to find the lost city and attain the golden dragon....the action and fighting scenes were short and not intense as they used to be... and on top of all that the ending was a dissapointment too becuase van damme didn't even get the golden dragon. Van damme should just stick to fighting and not directing..I gave this three stars just because Iam huge fan of van damme....i reccomend u see his top quality movies such as double impact, bloodsport, kickboxer, deathwarrant, and maxium risk...Movie Review: Good movie, mediocre DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
For Van Damme fans, this is a good one. Full of interesting locations, and big arena martial arts, it's a movie that aims for an epic and old-world feel. With it's budget, it mostly succeeds. It's also unique in that it's Van Damme's directorial debut, and he acquits himself well with good performances from his cast and lush photography.
As for the DVD, there are no special features (maybe a trailer?), but be warned the transfer in NON-ANAMORPHIC. That's the most disappointing part of it, but at least it's widescreen.
Movie Review: Avarge martial arts action

Van Damme aint a great actor but he can kick nicely. "The Quest" is solid but dull action that entetains you... but doesen't give much more! Worth a look.Movie Review: Not the best Van Damne movie,but it was good

Summary: 2 Stars
This film wasn't too bad considering it was directed and cowritten by star Jean-Claude Van Damme. The movie starts off in the 1920's with Van Damme dressed as a clown wearing stilts working with street orphans to steal some money from gangsters. He escapes from gangsters before being chased by the police onto a ship. The next morning, out to sea, the ship owners chain up the stowaway and put him to work. Shortly after the ship is ambushed by British cavaliers, led by Roger Moore, which free him only to bring him to an island and sell him to the Mutai to be a fighter. The movie quickly changes from an adventure story to a video-game movie the likes of Tekken. All of the best fighters in the world are invited to fight in a tournament at the Lost City for the prize of Golden Dragon and honor. The fighters are acted by real fighting champions from around the world. Each brings his own fighting style resulting in some satisfying matches which is the saving grace of the film.
This film would have been much improved with plot twists and more attention paid the the back story of Van Damme's orphaned past to gain a better appreciation of why the fighting is so important to him.
