    Jean-Claude Van Damme made his directorial debut with this martial arts action adventure, and he also stars as a small-time street criminal in 1920s New York who finds himself a stowaway on a ship headed for the South China Sea. Following an attack by pirates, Van Damme meets Lord Edgar Dobbs (Roger Moore), and ends up in the charge of a martial arts master. Soon Van Damme is entered in the “ultimate fighting match” with its winning prize of a solid-gold dragon statue. Van Damme made a career starring in fighting tournament movies like this one, but this self-directed effort is remarkably better than his usual output.

  • "...With the same grace and discipline he displays in front of the camera, Jean-Claude Van Damme makes a socko directorial debut with THE QUEST, a martial arts adventure odyssey that's epic in scale and high in style..."

    Only for Van Damme fans

    It's nice to see Jean-Claude kickin' ass as usual but this film must've cost about £100 to make. The concept of the film is good but the script is poor.
