Best Of The Best Collection Reviews

Probably Eric Robert's Best Film...

..Which might not be saying much. However for fans of martial arts, this is a must see of the genre. A simple storyline, a group of misfits are pulled together as a team to represent America in competition. The men find honour, pride, and friendship. The fighting sequences, although a little far-fetched, are excellent.

Not the best.

I only really took out this DVD because I remember seeing the film when I was about 9 years old. There is nothing special about it, a group of Taikwando fighters are taken from the USA and Korea to battle, and the plot is linear and predictable. However it is quite amusing in places, and has a character in that is obviously who Champ from Anchorman is based on.

Love the title

I watched this film a few years ago and still enjoyed it second time around. Good film for kids too.

Tales of Power!

Best of the Best 3 and 4 are good follow ups to the first two films.I only found out about films 3 and 4 after i bought the first two on DVD a few weeks ago.I originally saw the first two films on VHS and both films all though a little dated now and not quite as good still deliver. They benefit from being on DVD.I'm glad that i rented 3 and 4.Although not as good as the first two.Number 1 is definately the best, 3 and 4 are still worth watching and good entertainment. Phillip Rhee who plays Tommy Lee in all four films does a very good job of directing both films considering his inexperience and the lower budgets he had to work with.They are a lot better than some of the latest martial arts/action films being released at the moment. They are well rounded films although not completely original.The action is good if a little over staged.Rhee is too good and shows some of the other actors up.He is very talented.It's a shame he's not gone on to be a bigger star.Why they called them best of the best though is beyond me. Although we still have the same character from the first too,these films could have easily been another franchise as they could stand alone.I guess the people behind the first two films thought they could use the popularity of the title and ride on the success of the others but on a cheaper budget.They didn't need to as i think Rhee deserves credit for his directing skills.Although the later films aren't perfect they are still worthy sequels,shame Eric Roberts didn't join in as well. Well worth watching.The first film does deserve a four star rating though while the others get a three.
