One night after training has finished, the dojo is visited by members of an organised crime syndicate. Jason's father is attacked and has his leg broken by Ivan Krushensky(Jean Claude Van Damme), the hired thug of ... ...good as his character has no dialogue throughout movie.Just a sentence he utters at the last action scene "I am the best".This was my second movie where I saw Jean Claude doing a negative role.The first one was "Black Eagle".Jason Stillwell is a good fighter.He is the main character in the movie and I think his performance is good enough for a martial arts movie. I recommend this movie and if you like martial arts movies then its worth watch. ... mor8060 22.10.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of No Retreat, No Surrender (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

Amazing! Advantages: Looks great & is very watchable Disadvantages: None at all really I'm giving this film 10/10 and it earns every single mark of it. It was sheer brilliance from start to finish as I genuinely expected a film with overdone wire work but this was a good film that was made even more watchable by the fact of it being based on a true story. Jet Li plays the man who founded the main Wushu martial arts movement and we follow him through his life. The fight scenes are well done and don't go over the top at all, which I ... ...token Westerner and it was nice to see he is still doing well after leaving the WWE. The story is compelling and the plot flows well and even if you are not a fan of martial arts movies or struggle with subtitled films you will still enjoy this film for it's story. The sets and backgrounds are magnificent and the film looks wonderful all the way through, there just isn't a bad set or bad looking scene in the entire film. Jet Li plays his part extremely ... atytyut2434 17.03.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Fearless (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

Jet Lee is impressive as always Advantages: combines great humour and Kung-Fu, like some Jackie Chan movies Disadvantages: possibly looking a little dated now ...This film is classic early Jet Lee and the fight scenes etc are similar to those in Once Upon A Time In China. This film is based on a real rebel legend and Chinese hero called....you guessed it, Fong Sai Yuk. This period film has something great about it, other than just the great fighting. The realationship between Fong Sai Yuk {Jet Lee} and his mother is classically comedic. These two are like a chinese Abbot and Costello, and I wonder if Jackie ... ...This movie, as well as the first part are excellent movies that will have you laughing away and enthralled by the fight scenes. By the end of this movie you hate the bad guy so much you cannot wait to see Jet Lee kick the stuffing out of him. ... tayloa22 23.08.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Jet Li - The Legend 2 (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

Li's Last Bow Advantages: Some nice fights Disadvantages: Too much propaganda, not enough character development to go round Born the son of a great and respected martial artist, Huo Juanjia determines to become the greatest fighter in all China. But he learns to fight without respect or humility. His arrogance and decadence lead him to pick fights with all and sundry, eventually losing him everything he holds dear.

Imperialist forces are closing in, determined to strip the country of its cultural and monetary wealth. The Chinese must present their greatest fighter to take on the best the other nations have to offer.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Confuses Audience Advantages: See what life might have been like during the Qing Dynasty Disadvantages: it left the viewer confused with unanswered questions Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon takes place during the Qing Dynasty and tells the story of woman and men warriers and a sword known as the Green Destiny. I was utterly confused when watching this movie and had a hard time grasping my head around the plot. This story line was very difficult to follow and was needed to be searched on the Internet to discover the plot. In my opinion, the movie didn't answer any questions that were set up in the beginning ... ...plot and the characters of the story were to confusing that it was distracting from the effects included. Personally, I beleive that Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was a pointless movie in which there was no plot but just a series of random events that made transitions through the movie. ... secret23 19.11.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?
