A great action gem from the 80s. It's a shame that professional movie raters hate anything good. I am glad I view a 1 from them as a 10!

Thanks to the awful critics, who seem to rate a film on everything apart from how entertaining it is, I almost missed this gem when I saw it was only rated at 33%. Glad I listened to those other audience reviews that told me to ignore them. Best of the Best is a gem. The actions scenes are excellent and, unlike most Hollywood films, you can actually see what is going on during the fights and they are not unrealistic. It also has a fantastic ending with a great moral message. Certainly one of the best martial arts movies Hollywood has ever dished out.

I can see why this has gained a bit of a cult status, what with the casting and reasonable fight sequences. Looking back its certainly up there with other tournament fight movies, what few there were. It's pretty obvious that the reason this never took off back in the day was simply that Jean Claude Van Damme had cornered that particular market. He was the martial arts King in Hollywood and no one was coming close. Had Van Damme been in this, well now you're talking, the movie takes on a whole new level. As it stands now looking back, yeah its fine, a solid fight flick, even if the movie poster does make Roberts look like the main bad guy.
