"Frank Dux has spent most his life being trained by Tanaka to participate in the Kumite, the ultimate martial arts tournament, where participants are seriously injured, even killed.
The acting is pretty awful, but then again it is a JCVD film so that is expected. The fight scenes were pretty fun to watch and it had a huge ensemble of interesting fighters. The finale was pretty good. Also didn't know it was actually based on true events.

Helvetin kovaa settiä, täynnä hyviä tappeluita höystettynä jollain täysin naurettavalla juonella, joka jaksaa hymyilyttää kokoajan. Damme rakastuu kolmessa päivässä yhteen mieheen ja yhteen naiseen, tekee joku 100 spagaattia ja ilmeetkin ovat helvetin kohallaan. Soundtrack on täyttä rautaa ja Bolo Yeung kruunaa pahiksena hullun testopään roolissa. Forest Whitaker on myös jostain syystä mukana.

Dammea parhaimmillaan missä on aivan mahdottoman jees tunnelma tappeluiden kohdalla. Ja juurikin ne tappelut on se, mitä leffasta eniten katsoo kiinnostuneena. Juoni nyt on mitä on, mutta toisaalta tarviiko tappeluturnaukseen perustuvassa leffassa olla syvällisempää juonta? Damme lyö turpaan ja se on viihdyttävää ja Bolo Yeung on aivan helvetin kova virnuilevana pahiksena. Nautein tämän kattelusta paljon. "

"I'm Lin. You Jackson? You look like a Jackson. That must make you Frank Ducks."
"No, it's DUX."
"Oh, right, like put up your dukes."
I can never get tired of this film. Definitely one of my favorites and NOT a guilty pleasure.

Van Damme on varsin tiukassa kunnossa esikoispääroolissa tosielämän lööperitaistelija Frank Duxin roolissa. Salaiseen underground-taistelutapahtumaan Kumiteen osallistunut Dux (Damme) lähtee jatkamaan mentorinsa Tanakan (Roy Chiao) perintöä tavoittenaan piestä vastustaja toisensa jälkeen yltäen aina mestaruuteen saakka. Tiellä on kuitenkin häikäilemätön champion Chong Li (Bolo Yeung), joka teloo Van Dammen ainoan jenkkiystävän huonoon jamaan. Sittenpä l"
