"Karate is not to be used aggressively" NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER

post #1 of 9

How many people on here have seen this movie? This has to be my all-time favorite "so bad, it's funny" movie. I can watch this shit for days. If you haven't seen it yet and you're looked for some loud bad movie laughs, go out and rent it. It's a comedy classic and it's supposed to be serious.

I think the trailer is brilliant. This was in bargain bin for a long time at a shop I go to alot. After seeing that trailer I'm mad at myself for not picking it up.

They don't even show the best parts in that trailer. This entire movie is pure comedy. In 1995, my friend bought it because it was "Van Damme's first movie" and we were fans back then but words could not describe the amazingly bad movie that we sat down to watch. Tim Baker takes overacting to entertaining new lows. They roll up every bad 80's movie cliche and mix it with every bad martial arts movie cliche.

It's only one of the greatest movies to feature a snearing JCVD, a wannabe Michael Jackson, the ghost of Bruce Lee and some of the most atrocious acting you've ever seen.

I loved every minute of it. Crappy film, but it had great martial arts choreography.

Yep what Electric said. I saw this on cable back in 87 and was instantly taken with it. Its hilariously bad nowadays but back in the day it wasn't half bad for an American martial arts flick.

That's the type of comment that should be printed in big bold letters on the back of the box. I didn't understand how entertaining a bad movie could be until I discovered this one.
