In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

The Quest (1996)
An American action film by Jean-Claude Van Damme.
A man who takes care of homeless kids in New York City has to run away to avoid being wrongfully arrested. He makes his way onto a boat where he is chained and forced to work. The boat is attacked by the comic relief and they take him to Thailand where he supposedly learns Thai boxing. When he meets the comic relief again, they have a romantic interest with them and all of them plan to attend a secret fighting tournament by posing as the American champion's guides.
It was cheesy above all else. The style was swiss, the characters were cheddar and the plot was pepper-jack. The main character did not demonstrate any ability to fight like a Thai boxer. This was demonstrated by a gentleman from Siam at the competition. I did find it amusing to watch this lame film, so I won't rate it too bad. Let's call it o.k. for being bad enough to enjoy making fun of.
