Best Of The Best [Blu-ray]

This film has changed my life. It is one of my favorite martial arts films till this day and have watched it countless times throughout my life.Eric Roberts is a very talented actor.N Phillip Rhee is one of my all time favorite martial artists.Daniel Snailham

If, like me, you are a fan of the late 80's early 90's Matrial Arts Bonanza that brought the likes of "The Karate Kid", "Bloodsport" and "American Ninja" you will love this gem. Best of the Best boasts the weighty talents of James Earl Jones as the strict, bellowing Coach Couzo and Eric Roberts as the "tough pro given one last shot". We are also introduced to the excellent Philip Rhee playing "Tommy Lee" the jewel in Team USA's crown and a young Christopher Penn trying to convince us all he knows Tai Kwon-Do. The story is simplicity itself - Team USA takes on the all conquering Team Korea in its own back yard, lead by the fearsome unbeaten champion Dae Haan (played by Rhee's real life brother Simon).This is textbook boys own stuff. A disjointed batch of has beens and never will be's, becoming a team of world beaters and the strongest "team" around. Its all here - Training Montage's aplenty and a great climatic tournament scene. Excellent martial arts throughout - especially Phillip Rhee's final destruction of Dae Haan.Switch the DVD on, brain off, and enjoy.This is quality.

I've just finished watching this and have to say I'd forgotten how good it was. A trail from selection to the Olympics tournament makes an excellent martial arts movie - with a little family heartache thrown in for good measure. Really enjoyable to watch - even with all the crying (the film's not mine!😼) The film is not in widescreen and doesn't seem to have been upgraded from the VHS quality, as far as I can tell, and the dialogue near the start isn't that clear in places - no added subtitles - but it's still definitely worth having in you collection. [Although I'm a bit miffed that the 1-4 box set is available again at a cheaper price than this one alone!😾 Ah well. ] The yumptious Eric Roberts & Phillip Rhee and favourite James Earl Jones help make this a great blast from the past. Hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I have.

Sound quality isn't very good.. have to have it turned up loud to even get average sound... snd being my favourite film... im disappointed

I haven't watched this since I was a kid. but last night I did and it was just as cool now as it was when I was a kid.if your into good martial arts films then this is the film for you.just going to order part 2 now.

Nearly twenty years old.Not much of a story, but the matches are very good indeed. James Earl Jones plays the coach of a team setting out to take on five of Korea's best in a sort of mixture of martial arts.There are loads of emotional, weepy and thoroughly soppy moments, but nevertheless it is a film that maintains ones interest throughout.The Koreans are a joy to watch. I certainly would not have wanted to go up against them.A very good effort.A must-see for any fan of tae kwon do.

good film but pretty dated now, but it was done in the 80's i think

good
