Summary: not the best but definetly not the worst
Comment: I actually liked this movie the first time I saw it, but every time I watch it seems to get a little better. The fact is its a typical American martial arts movie that actually is above average in several regards. The story is simple, but actually develops and there is a bit of chemistry between characters. Most of the actors are familiar faces from many other martial arts movies such as Michael Worth (Final Impact, Fists of Iron), Martin Kove (The Karate Kid Series, Shootfighter), Steven Vincent Leigh (Deadly Bet, Ring of Fire), Ron Yuan (Ring of Fire 1 & 2), and Vince Murdocco (Kickboxer 2, Ring of Fire).
The movie has a decent amount of action from beginning to end, with most of the fights taking place in the tournament at the Sands hotel in Las Vegas. There are plenty of tournament fights and most are pretty decent. The only annoyance are the 2 announcers, who seem to describe every punch and kick as it happens.
To Be The Best could have turned out even better if the acting and some cheesy moments were improved upon, but thats typical of these type of films. If you like any of these martial artist actors, lots of tournament action, and flashy Las Vegas, this should be quite a pleaser.

Summary: A B Movie But Adds Some Class
Comment: This is not the "Best" of the kickboxing films, but it is also far from the worst. There is an actual attempt at charactor development as two brothers attempt to work out their relationship with their used up father (Martin Kove) as they compete in a kick boxing tournament. It stars Michael Worth, Martin Kove, Phillip Troy and Britanny Powell. Worth and Powell are two very good actors. I hope these guys are just not lost in these B fight movies as they both have a lot of talent and charm. Worth is also a very good fighter and I recently saw him in US SEALS 2 and can see he continues to improve in both fields. The rest of the cast is good and there seems to be some chemistry with the leads.
The fights are sometimes lacking choreography excellence but there are so many bloddy fights, you get plenty of good stuff. Has a happy ending for a change too.

Summary: Great fighting action
Comment: Do not look for a particularly meaningful plot. But the action scenes are great, the story is pleasant enough. If you like great kicking and some noble training then you will like this film.
