This is my favourite Martial Arts film ever. Although some reviews feel the sequel superior I would disagree. This is mainly due to the fact the second film is a competition movie for most of its running time which I find less interesting than arrival schools set up.
The villains in this are brilliant from the devilish karate leader to the Thai Kickboxers and the sheer range of the martial arts they use keep the fights fresh. There is also some quite brutal bits with heads being bloodied and people dying in boiling oil.
There is the slightly off putting sight of a Chinese man dyed brown to play an Indian yoga master but we had Angelina Jolie pull the same trick a few years back so I won't hold it against them.
Overrall a rip-roaring slab of funked up differently abled mayhem. If you live somewhere you can get it on DVD do it if you don't dust off your VCR and get the video.
