Summary: A Classic Movie for the Ages
Comment: We got this movie in 1980-somehting when I was stationed in Okinawa, Japan. We had five kids who were raised watching this movie as Okinawa had no US TV and we had to get Videotapes for our entertainment. As the kids grew, they remade this movie several times using their own equipment. They had the lines and acting down pat - just like the original - it was so easy to imitate. Anyway, as I get older, I wouldn't trade my original copy of this movie with my kids remakes for anything in the world. To this day, we take this stuff out and watch it every Christmas. Ah the memories it brings back is so sweet and all the grown kids still get the biggest "kick" out of it. What fun! Try and start your own memories with this and your own small kids.

Summary: GOOD FILM!
Comment: Some people might think the movie was too cheesy or whatever but I personally think it is good and quite interesting, another reason why 1980s were good, at least for me

Summary: Van Damm The Star?
Comment: How can Van Damm be the star of the movie, when he's only in it for about 10 minutes??? Kurt is in most of it. Kurt is the main character and makes the movie along with RJ, The Fat Burger Kid and the other young guys and girls in it. Van Damm is nothing more than a guest role at best. Yes, he went on to become a bigger star, but McKinney has also done well since, appearing in a wide range of TV shows and making a couple more movies since, right up to the present day. He also won an award for his acting in the 1990s. Kurt is #1.

Summary: Van Damme's start here....against... Sensei Lee???
Comment: Allright forget the cheesy "Bruce Lee" clone that appears here and all those imitative moves and faces he does.
The idea of the movie its cool, a martial artist (Kurt) wants to learn Kung Fu but he cant find a good Sifu(that happened to me)
then "Bruce Lee" appears and teach him Kung fu...really?
Jason:"Sensei" Lee
Bruce:You fool Sensei is for Karate,im a SIFU
This is a nice movie even with the fact that some of the acting is bad...the fight scenes of Van Damme worth it...It was supossed that Kurt Mckinney was going to be the star of this movie...so far Van Damme became the whole show....Nice 80's movie tough i think Van Damme would beat with one hand this child on a real tournamet in life...

Summary: "...no, no, no, bring it over here!"
Comment: No Retreat No Surrender is a classic 80's indie film that introduced the world to cheesy "karate" films inspired by The Karate Kid and Jean Claude Van Damme.
The movie stars Kurt McKinney as a wimp named Jason whose dad gets beaten up by a Russian guy named Ivan, played by Van Damme. His family move to Seattle where he gets pushed around by a group of karate bullies. Just when he thinks he can never learn karate, Bruce Lee's ghost appears to him and turns him into a fighting machine. In the meantime, the Russian arrives to fight for a championship against the karate bullies...and the rest is history.
No Retreat No Surrender is one of those movies that connects me to my past childhood years. I watched this movie so many times when I was younger that I felt persuaded to revisit it with a purchase and this review!
