“Although it took four viewings before I finally lowered my rating of this from u0026quot;9u0026quot; to u0026quot;8,u0026quot;, I suspect I will still watch this lame-brain action flick a few more times and enjoy it. Thatu0026#39;s because it offers a great mixture of fascinating fighters in the tournament that covers most of the final 40 minutes of the movie; is a modern-day martial-arts action film with almost no swearing and no sex; and offer some tremendous scenery in the first half of the film as Jean Claude Van Damme and company travel to the Far East for this u0026quot;Worldu0026#39;s Greatest Fighteru0026quot; tourney.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat tourney is a lot of fun to watch except that it got carried away in the final bout, of course, that went on almost as long as all the preliminary bouts! However, the filmmakers were smart to make all the contestants totally different with different styles, making each one fun to watch. You didnu0026#39;t see the same thing each fight. There was everything from a huge Sumo-type wrestler to a little guy who imitated a monkey and a snake jumping and slithering around the ring. By the way, these were real guys, not actors imitating fighters.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe photography is magnificent, far better than you would except. The colors are beautiful and the Thailand scenery spectacular. The movie benefits from a classy actor like Roger Moore joining the cast, too. Yeah, itu0026#39;s stupid in parts, but itu0026#39;s fun and highly recommended for first-time viewers who donu0026#39;t know the outcome of the bouts.”
