One Of The Best Van Damme Movies.
Id say this is one of the great Van Damme movies, i enjoyed it, its up there with Bloodsport & Kick Boxer.

PLEASE tell me your not serious?
You say its right up there with Bloodsport and kickboxer.
Now forgeting about Kickboxer lets talk Bloodsport,
are your aware The Quest was originally a Sequal to Bloodsport? And Van Dam CONNED Frank Dux (Who wrote the ORIGINAL STORY FOR THE QUEST) out of the Story and made the quest instead.
Now the new Story of the QUEST is quite literally a carbon COPY of Bloodsport.
I sat watching it the other week and thought... "Have I accidently put my Bloodsport tape in by mistake"
The similaritys between the 2 films is.. is just LAUGHABLE.
Jean Claude VAN dam has made some BAD films but this really takes the biscuit.
Its bad cus its bad its made worse cus its a copy of BLOODSPORT. Only change is Different set different actors. And they've played with the script with a theasaurus.
IF YOU CAN'T see THE QUEST IS BLOODSPORT IN FANCY DRESS, THEN THERES NO HOPE FOR YOU MY FRIEND.
KEEP THE FAITH
lmao I love seeing this stuff happening *Grins*
I enjoyed The Quest, some of the choreography, such as Van Damme versus the Chinese animal kung fu guy, and the first fight where the mongolian guy takes part, the grappling bit, not the striking bit, very very impressively fluid, I liked it a lot :-) I think most characters have good charisma also, namely Maxie Devine, I love that guy :)
You just gotta watch this as a movie. It's an alternative, really, to Bloodsport. But they both have a Sumo guy, a Wrestler, Animal Kung Fu guys, Brazilian guys. Except the bad guy in this movie lacks style and grace, whereas Chong Li was fantastic :)
Average movie, but it was very enjoyable. Certainly not Van Damme's best, though, and definitely not on the same level of Kickboxer in my opinion.
Kung fu movies are like porn. There's 1 on 1, then 2 on 1, then a group scene...
