No Retreat, No Surrender

The ghost of Bruce Lee finally answers the graveyard prayers of Karate Kid lite and teaches him (just as his father already did) all sorts of attack moves ONLY TO BE USED TO DEFEND. His final lesson is a high kick from a standing position which literally COULD NOT BE USED AS A DEFENSIVE MOVE. Van Damme is a nice Drago fill-in the short amount of time he's maiming people.

I would give anything to live through the 80s again!

A bunch of crummy actors stand around delivering lines and then 5 or 6 training montages later some white boy beats up Jean-Claude Van Damme.

One of the ultimate look at me I am the 1980's movies. Still there is some sentimental attachment here.

If you hate this film you have no soul. Ghost Bruce Lee trains suburban white bro in the ways of martial arts. What's not to like? It also has vintage JCVD as a russian doing splits. There's also plenty of homoerotic subtext for people into that sort of thing. This fine film is pure distilled 1980's to drink and savor.

If you're going to make a shit movie, make it spectacularly bad by having someone go from incompetent to world champion in a week or something because of lessons from a ghost.

I dont know why i like this movie. It's cheesy it's a stereotype and it's full of bad acting. but it's a typical 80s movie and it's very fun to watch. Probably reminds me of my childhood (The movie-watching not the fighting) and it's much better than karate kid

No Retreat, No Surrender is such a misleading and disappointing film. I was a fan of Jean-Claude Van Damme growing up and I loved Bloodsport in particular. But this early role is definitely one of, if not his worst. I remember getting this on VHS and it had Van Damme plastered all over the front cover. And then the disapointment when I realised Van Damme was in fact the villain and only had about 10-15 mins screen time. What a joke. I was gutted.

Fuck yeah! Wish there was more kung-fu. But it felt good man.

What is wrong with these people?

One of them karate movies.

Buraya gel düdük makarnasi!

Avoid unless you can somehow travel back to the 80s and watch it as a kid, then it will probably be the greatest thing ever.

cheesy but very enjoyable movie of the 80's.

good movie

That one where Bruce Lee is already a ghost, but Van Damme is still the bad guy. Terrible but represents a lot if you happened to be a preteen boy around the late 80's... shit, it even has a breakdancing black kid.

I loved this movie when I was a kid.

Pure eighties cheese.

Van Damme is barely even in this.

it's so bad...how can I actually like this?
