No Retreat, No Surrender A.K.A. Karate Tiger (1986)

An American action film directed by Corey Yuen, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme.
A boy's father and karate trainer is defeated by mobsters looking to enslave all karate schools. The boy trains and defeats the mobster's best fighter.
Dumb, stale, stupid... This was like America's answer to China's shitty kung fu flicks. It came complete with distorted audio. The only thing in the soundtrack that sounded good was when there were electric guitars in the songs. A little bit of hard rock grit turned into heavy metal super-saturation. I didn't care about the plot or characters. R. J.'s rap song was absolutely pitiful, but his break dancing was good. I'm rating this bad for being just plain not worth watching. Seriously, skip it.
