Summary: classic 80s martial arts
Comment: I love this movie, but I think you need a certain appreciation for this type of film. It isn't terribly original, and throughout the film you get the feeling you've 'seen this somewhere before.' You probably have. That said,the movie is still a lot of fun. Yes, it's very formulaic, but the characters are fun, and something about James Earl Jones as a taekwondo coach never ceases to make me smile. The story does well to keep you interested throughout. While not every aspect of this film might fly with serious martial artists, for the most part, it's a good, lazy Saturday type movie.

Summary: Good Story. Weak Script
Comment: 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.

Summary: Good charcters, Great Casting and good action sequences with a story about the winning spirit
Comment: James Earl Jones hands down one of his better choices playing the role of the Team USA coach in this movie about the International Karate Championships. Your character was creepy, the tone of that movie was unsettling in a bad way, and the lion cloth should never be cut that short on Ah-nold.
Back to this movie, this is one my favorites because of the character development and storylines each charcter has throughout the movie. The Best of the Best has a dynamic cast, the late Chris Penn and a young Eric Roberts. This can stand as one of my favorite sports movies, like MIRACLE starring Kurt Russell about the US Olympic hockey them from the 70's that beat Russia.
The story can be predictable and cheesy but there are heartfelt moments at the end of this long journey to the top.
