Only the Strong (1993)

Only the Strong: Directed by Sheldon Lettich. With Mark Dacascos, Stacey Travis, Geoffrey Lewis, Paco Christian Prieto. Ex-Special Forces soldier Louis Stevens returns to Miami to find his former high school overrun by drugs and violence. A master of the Brazilian martial art, capoeira, Stevens pledges to straighten out a dozen of the school’s worst students by teaching them this demanding and highly-disciplined fighting style. Slowly, his program begins to work, giving the students new hope and purpose. But the local drug lord, himself a martial arts expert, vows to stop Stevens’ positive influence. Now Stevens must fight to save his own life, as well as the lives of his rebellious young students.

“You know whats going to happen to all the u0026quot;badu0026quot; students as soon as you see them. But, this is still a very good movie. The style used is really amazing and fun to watch. The fights scenes are very good. Why this movie wasnu0026#39;t a big hit, Iu0026#39;ll never know. It should have made Mark Dacascos a star.”
