3/5 Van Damme? Ehh, but BOLO!!!
  by Michael Board (NYC)
This is Van Damme's first starring role. He looks in his twenties, but I don't know. For some reason, he's fitted with an awful toupee (two actually, one is more tussled than the other, supposedly expressing his youth). Maybe he was prematurely bald but they look bad. (And never get mussed in fight scenes.

He's okay as Mr. Marshal-Arts Goody Two Shoes. His bearded beer drinking dork of an American buddy is better. But what's best is BOLO YEUNG as the villian. He's my new hero. He's jaw droppingly good as the bad guy. I just ordered TIGER CLAW. The best thing I've seen since ODD JOB in Goldfinger... better.

If he's got a fanclub, I'm a member.

5/5 So Much Karate. So little time.

Silly but so awesome all in one. The slow motion screams are the best. That is next to Paco, he actually is the best. A dirty fighting [...], but damn he is the best. Long live Paco!!!

3/5 Van Damme's best
  by Terry Reyes (Alameda, CA)
Even though it's been almost twenty years since this film came out, it's still a classic right up there with Enter the Dragon. Van Damme plays Frank Dux, an american soldier competing in the Kumite, a little-known but controversial martial arts competition where the best fighters in the world gather to test their skills upon each other. Frank must not only put his skills to test against some of the most fearsome opponents in the world but also against his own personal fears and doubts about why he's there in the first place.
Van Damme is superb and he's never looked better. I know there was criticism about what an exhibitionist he can be, especially with his body, but if you worked for years toning and sculpting it, why not show it off? A true classic.
