Wushu? Karate? How bout a spoonful of Capoeira?
Zuum zuum zuum smart that kid didnt mention the other lyrics to promote that SUV. Mark is indeed a great martial artist. This film shows you how vital music is to this martial art. Definately a classic, and the best Capoeira movie out there I think, cuz I dunno if there are others out there. There was that one part in the Quest, and Halle Berry did some moves in Cat woman. Eventhough that woman is 10 years older than me, I think we have a lot in common. Thats right Halle, Im your soulmate! Find me!......Nevermind. If youre into martial arts stuff, check this out when you have the time.

It's flat out amazing -and utterly utterly unfair- that Mark Dacascos didn't become a huge star in 1993 when ONLY THE STRONG was released. It was released horrid reviews from leading critics (I'm looking at you Roger Ebert!!!!) and managed to amass only $2 million in domestice gross. And for reasons that fail to make sense on any level, CHARLIE'S ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE got to take in over $100 million. You must be joking.
It's nice to see Capoeira, the Brazilian martial art, to get such nice treatment. Rarely do modern day kung fu movies specify the particular technique of the combatants, and Capoeira is certainly deserving of some attention.
Like most martial arts movies, the story takes a backseat to the action, which is good in this case, since you wouldn't want any ditractions from Mark's many combat scenes, especially his duel with the evil Silverio (Paco Christian Prieto).
Only the dumb would consider themselves a martial arts fan or Mark Dacascos fan if ONLY THE STRONG wasn't in their collection.
I give this movie 5 stars not because it should win movie of the year, but this is one of the best Martial Arts movies I have seen. Kadeem Hardison adds some comdeic spots to the movie. Brittany Murphy is fun to watch also, as long as you don't take this movie too seriously. But the highlight of this movie is the Martial Arts. Imagine Matrix with a real martial artist doing the fight scences and fight-scenes are everywhere in this movie! The fight scenes are fast, well-choreographed, slick and well-executed! This movie has some of the coolest fight scenes I have EVER seen, and I've seen A LOT! So, take this movie for what it is, a Martial Arts movie with plenty of fight scenes and a plot that isn't great but not horrible either. If this was a big budget movie, and the same plot with Mark...

Best of The Best is a decent little Martial Arts sleeper about a USA Martial Team competing in a tournament. The main plot centers on Tommy Lee (Phillip Rhee) trying to get revenge for his brother after he was killed in the same tournament. Eric Roberts also stars as a down out father also trying to be in the tournament because as he says "it's all I know how to do). James Earl Jones is even in this as the coach of the team. his primary motivation being that he was the coach for the team that Tommy Lee's brother was in.
That kinda gives some respect to Best of The Best, it's got a pretty decent cast and the last person you'd expect find in this film is James. However, the acting is amazingly terrific in this. Robert Radler knows how to film some gripping scenes and gives us...

This dvd is a great introduction to training in Capoeira. Presented as a Capoeira home movie, this tape allows you to take part in a Capoeira class and observe training without being distracted by a narrator's own particular feelings. There are some shaky camera movements and angels, but overall this video can help you start your journey into the world of Capoeira. Axé!

A well-oiled Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in what may be one of the few kickboxing films to be based on a true story. The Muscles from Brussels plays Frank Dux, the first Westerner ever to win the extreme "whupfest" known as the Kumatai (a long-running, no-holds-barred fighting tournament in Hong Kong). While a bit deficient in the script department (to say the least), this undeniably exciting flick succeeds by letting Van Damme play to his strengths: namely, minimal acting and a lot of impossibly acrobatic splits while kicking people in the head. A guilty-pleasure testosterone blast of the highest order, with a memorable villain (the massive Bolo Yeung from Enter the Dragon), and a multitude of well-choreographed fight scenes. An embarrassed-looking Forest...
