Jason's father is crippled by a gang boss and Jason himself is the target of a group of bullies. When Jason becomes desperate, the ghost of Bruce Lee appears to teach Jason in martial arts.
Jason becomes good enough to help people in a tournament, but even there the New York gang boss is involved. Eventually, Jason will even meet the man who almost killed his father in the ring. Ivan, the Russian hitman.
7,5/10
A great movie that hooked many people to martial arts movies. It's from the kind of Karate Kid part 1, Kickboxer part 1 and Bloodsport part 1. The acting is way worse, but the morals are very present.
It could have been a bad movie, but the fights are so great, that this movie might actually be one of the best ever. Watch the fight between McKinney and Van Damme. You'll understand.
