No Retreat, No Surrender
No Retreat, No Surrender
Jason, a Bruce Lee fan, sees his karate instructor/dad beaten by martial art thugs. They move to Seattle where, after humiliations, he trains with Bruce Lee's ghost so he can defend himself and others against thugs.

I’ll be short and sweet with this review - the acting and directing are terrible. It was shot like an old episode of The Streets Of San Francisco rather than a movie. The fight scenes were fun. If you want mindless action with little to nothing else, this is your movie. You can always fast forward through the talkie bits. Also, Van Damme is a bad guy in this. He shot this film around the same time he popped up as an extra in Breakin’.
