WARNING THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS ABOUT THE MOVIE!When I saw this movie in store I just had to buy it. So whole DVd cover was dedicated to Van Damme. We have even Van Dammes name on the cover but where is the hero? We have tiny picture of a hero who is the maincharecter of the film. And covers synopsis sounds like Bloodsport type movie. So I bought it and saw it. I wasnt disappointed when I saw the movie it wasnt the movie they promised on the cover but still ok flick. Van Damme shows about 10 minutes in the whole movie. It was one of his first films so you might take this as somekind tiny classic. I forgot the story, sorry. Young Jason moves to another county when his father solds the karate gym after he gets beat up by creedy managers who organize fights with Ivan The Russian ( Van Damme). In the new county Jason falls in love with the girl and her wannabe boyfriend starts compete with Jason. Karate Kid remake huh! This movie was made year after Karate Kid that was somekind a success in the business. I cant say which movie is better.The music is great. Whole movie is totally 80´s. Everything,they even have breakdance that was popular then. I give this movie 6/10. Must see to Van Damme fans. Write me and I tell you great No retreat No surrender movie web site. Im waiting!
