My thoughts

One of the best martial arts movies ever. It's practically the best movie with good action, good character, good acting and an original story. Especially Phillip and Simon Rhee were great.

The only bad thing is that the US team existed of mainly non-martial artists. Phillip Rhee was the only champion. Eric Roberts is ok, so is Chris Penn. The Korean team was formed of masters and champions. This was obvious during the finales.

But all in all a great movie and the end fight between Simon and Phillip was one of the best fights ever!!!!
