I'm pretty interested about Yasuaki Kurata's karate style👍
After finishing with this, you should consider reacting to Jeff speakman. The perfect weapon. He's an American kenpo practitioner. It's a really great martial art movie.
Trivia time!!! The guy who played Virgil in The Best of The Best also played Jeff Speakman's brother in The Perfect Weapon!! RIP he passed a few years ago... :-(
I second this! Perfect Weapon is a classic and Jeff Speakman was a badass. Why we didn’t see a lot more from him, I’ll never know.
Touched By An Angel.... Supposedly he was addicted to Ritalin and other Meth pharmaceuticals according to his cousin
I still love this movie! The term Karate was used to market Taekwondo schools back in the 80s because Karate was often misused by the Americans as an umbrella term for all East Asian martial arts besides Kung Fu.
I remember my school's Grandmaster having "Korean Karate" on the sign outside even though it was a huge no-no to refer to what we were doing as Karate. I had never heard of TKD until I saw it mentioned in a little book about Karate with different arts listed.
The weird thing about America is that they also use English names for techniques which means a round house or turn kick will be the same for TKD or karate, while practitioners of these styles might throw these differently. Also, internationally, these terms are confusing. For example, I, for the longest time thought a roundhouse kick was a backward turn kick. If everyone simply used the actual Korean names, it would be much clearer.
Calling taekwondo _"karate"_ has been around since the late 1950s. When Jhoon Rhee began teaching in Texas in 1959 he referred to what he was teaching as "karate". Those that came from his lineage continued using karate even after Rhee relocated to Washington DC and began using the term taekwondo.
So true but when i walked into the TKD school and said id like to learn Karate the grandmaster said "thats great I think there is a Karate school down the street but we teach Tae Kwon Do here."

The Formula was a specific "package" of the Firebird that came with very specific wheels, engine parts, interior, and trim. The firebird was made by Pontiac.
The Camaro made by Chevy in that era, which was a very similar car, had the IROC-Z package.
Also a trim level/package for the Pontiac Fiero in its last year. But this was definitely a Firebird in the movie
Yusuke, I think their use of Karate in this movie is somewhat of an umbrella term. They seem to have a focus on Taekwondo but other styles are also represented. For example one of the American fighters has some kind of Kickboxing background.
Exactly. "Karate" had been popular in the US for a couple of decades already, so it was used as a general term, kind of like going to China and saying "Kung Fu" even though there are really so many different styles.
Thank you for doing this. Karate will always be one of my first loves, as well as cheesy 80s & 90s action movies.
Growing up in the 80's when we went t a Karate tournament it was an umbrella term for martial art. I took a few different styles due to logistics and interests changes anyway whenever I would compete we just called at Karate meet.
Omg I’ve been hoping for this video!!!!
You're so right about cars. I lived in Tokyo from 2005-2007, and even then I didn't need a car at all. Public transport was all I needed.
That was a Pontiac Firebird Formula being built on the assembly line in the opening. The bikes here have two types of brakes, hand brake which you are familiar with and coaster break. The coaster break is built into the rear hub where pressing the pedals backwards would engage a brake. This is mostly something on kids bikes when they are leaning because they can keep a firm grip on the handle bars and not have to release their fingers to press the brake lever.
Answering about the car in the beginning of the movie. Its a General Motors facility, they are building Pontiac Firebird Trans Ams. Formula was one of the sub models of the Trans Am. Late 80’s would have been the 3rd generation of the Firebird Trans Am, GM F Body.
Really enjoyed the review and looking forward to seeing your comments on the end tournament fight. You must review Best of the Best 2 as the end fight with Brakus who's a bodybuilder is epic.
Balance is everyting! , Thank you
James Lew is also a martial artist, he was the character that fought Alex, James Lew is also in the Perfect Weapon and other movies as an extra, background character
Finally. They say that some of the best Taekwondo ever represented in a movie is in this movie. One really great movie over all.
Except for Ho Sik Pak everyone of the Korean and Korean-American actors were high ranking taekwondo stylist. Pak is a Tang Soo Do stylist.
In the 1970s and 80s, Karate was a general term for Taekwondo. Many schools back the marketed themselves as "Korean Karate." Tommy and Daehan are brothers in real life and are active Grandmasters who still teach Taekwondo in the Los Angeles area.
Was anyone else confused by the sequel just making Tommy Lee American Indian?
I mean, he's clearly Asian of some kind, but in part two he's just Native.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.
Grew up with a Karate background and when I joined the Marines I also joined a TKD club on base taught by a senior Chief in the Navy rec center Norfolk VA, Wind and Sea Taekwondo. I remember one fellow student there who was actually fairly senior in the Navy. Telling me I reminded him of the "Cowboy dude" in the movie. I always thought that was weird because I was from NJ and didn't look anything like Chris Penn. Now I think it's because my previous Kumite experience was more rough and tumble with lots of body contact. Anyway I eventually watched the movie on deployment and really enjoyed it. A step above a lot of the schlock flooding the action movie market.
Which styles did you combine as a Marine? Could you please tell?
Great choice. You will be highly suprised at the end of the moving. The movie has one of the best ending I have ever seen in an American Martial Arts Production
Tradition is what makes martial skill an “art” but martial arts is about effectiveness. There’s room for both.
I'm glad you are reacting to this one. This was probably one of the best martial arts movies of that time. In large part because some of the ideas were legitimate even if they were over dramatized for the movie. Also, the end fights feature several real life high quality martial artists doing the stunts and fight scenes. Not to mention it was just fun. Hope you enjoyed.
ITF, there is hip motion to generate power. Also tilting the hips helps with speeding the kick up.
Brakes depend on the type of bicycle. Most american bikes don't back brake, they have handbrakes like you are used to.
at 9:02 the broken beer bottle guy is Kane Hodder the guy that played Jason from Friday the 13th the most of anyone. he did all the motion cap for the Friday the 13th game and the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre gaming coming out. the Head Coach is also the voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars.
Some bikes do brake pedaling backwards, some have the brakes on the handle bars for the front and back tire, some have only a brake for the back tire or front, some have both on the handle bars and the pedals, some don’t have breaks
Formula was a package for the Pontiac firebird. Bigger engine tuned suspension . So this was a GM plant . GM discontinued the Pontiac brand in 2009 .
James Earl Jones is so good
As some of the other comments have said karate was a catch all term for martial arts that weren't kung fu in the 80's. Rhee taekwondo is a very popular style in Australia.
I had this movie on vhs at home. All the friends who came to my house I put them to watch. I think I saw it like 50 times. hahaha Nostalgic. I like your videos. Oss
I'm pretty certain that back in the 80s and 90s a lot of Taekwondo practitioners competed in karate tournaments and vice versa and there were a lot of open style tournaments in the United States back in the 80s and 90s sometimes even allowing Kung Fu, karate and Taekwondo competing against one another which was very interesting at the time!
If you see a v neck with no opening, it’s WT (formerly known as WTF) Olympic Taekwondo style
Oh this was childhood for loved the first 2 of these
Best of the best turned into a trillagie part 1 definitely the ground breaking one. Philip Reah and brother are very great masters in taekwondo . This movie inspired me to achieve my belt and 3 degrees afterwards. I love seeing the next generation enjoy the classics
There is a 4th film
@@steveg2251 yea after part 2 I think they lost all the meaning... 🤔about it...
They killed off Travis and turn Tommy&Alex into some vigilante crime fighters🤭. There was so many better ways they should have went JS.
Then the others that were in the tournament was totally just washed out...
Also Philip Rhee and his real life brother Simon Rhee "Dae Han Park" 🤪crazy have a 🇰🇷 Korean first name then Park as a last 🤣. Still a great movie from the GOAT 80s GenX era. Like I was really motivated by the 1st two and after researching the Rhee's and how they are true martial artest is what made the fights so good.
Anyway this little dive into the "BotB" worm hole was fun
Favorite martial arts movie. Part 2 is awesome as well
I am so happy you saw my comment and going to do this review and reaction. I can't wait!!!
It was also my comment. Other movies to review are no retreat no surrender 1&2, King of Kickboxer, Showdown and Blood Brothers.
The Jump to switch you mentioned I believe is actually an American thing, as I attended a Japanese dojo in New York and remember doing it or seeing it during kids classes.
Eric Roberts was in the movie THE EXPENDABLES which brought together a bunch of older action stars. Watching the film I was expecting him to fight someone since people like Jet Li and Dolph Lundgren were also in it. But he didn't fight anyone. I never understood that. It seemed like a wasted opportunity for a final boss battle since he was the main villain. 🤷🏽♀️
Maybe he would've kicked their asses 😆
Before it was called Taekwondo, some styles were labeled Kong soo do/Tangsoodo which is Korean karate in English. Karate was an umbrella term for all styles. The main character did Kenpo Karate.
The main character? Who Tommy Lee (Rhillip Rhee)? Lee is a taekwondo stylist.
Great word on power transferring
Yes! Glad someone has gotten into this movie. Philip Rhee out Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do, & Muay Tai.
Phillip Rhee-Tommy and Dae Han-Simon Rhee know Taekwondo and Hapkido which are Korean karate and have done martial arts most of there lives every since they were little kids.
I believe you're a Highly Knowledgable & Enlightened Sensei !!! I appreciate your sound thought processes & advice ! Also I don't know if you're aware but, Eric Roberts ... Is Julia Roberts Brother ! I 💗 all these movies !!! 👊🏻 from 🇨🇦
Forty+ yrs in MA- 10 diff -"It" has Always been about Balance ⚖️: Mind, Body, Spirit🧠🫀🌌
Yeah even back then some bikes especially for younger kids had foot breaks but most had handbrakes instead.
Actually yusake the Korean guy Phillip Rhee is a 7th degree black belt in taekwondo and a 5th degree black belt in hapkido so is his brother Simon Rhee who plays the national Korean captain with the eye patch
Was hoping you would do this one. When are in SoCal you can visit the studio where this was filmed.
Review Sidekicks
One of my favorite movies.
Interesting point about the marketing of karate vs taekwondo. There in the Netherlands, we all knew about karate, saw the movies mentioning it, etc. Same with kung-fu actually. But for some reason, way more kids did taekwondo and there were also more schools that were also better equiped (newer equipment, nice buildings, so they could ask higher prices and thus made more money). Karate had the name of being old-fashioned and less dynamic, and obviously, all taekwondo kids promoted TKD instead of karate, so that had an exponential effect. It's weird karate never tried to ride the movie train. Same now with Cobra Kai f.e. I mean TKD was also Olympic way before karate, which doesn't make sense looking at the history.
And after TKD, especially for older people, kickboxing took over at some point. Now it might be MMA, but here in the Netherlands, kickboxing will still be the biggest, because that's what we are among the best at.
Yes, it's supposed to be about power tae kwon do, and 1980s Olympic TKD, but it's some sort of open striking tournament.
Basically, in America, people who don't train martial arts call all martial arts where you wear a karate gi, dogi or judo gi, karate even some gung fu gets called karate.
The difference of Judo and Juijitsu may be acknowledged, but even then, it's all foreign or exotic to the average American. I see the connection between shotokan and TKD, I feel like the Koreans took karate and mixed it in with gung fu and other arts to fill in the gaps.
Phillip Rhee, the one that plays Tommy, he holds black belts in several martial art styles. His brother is the one on the Korean team that wears the eye patch and he too holds several belts.
I remember when i was a kid in taekwondo class 2 kids were fooling around he put them on the punching bag so they were hanging on off the ground so the teacher got a cup of tacks and put on the floor under the punching bag. They had to hang for about 5 minutes. That would not happen now days.
Former boxer here. Though you do focus on having the maximum weight you can for your class, it's more about having as lean of muscle as possible. 98% of training in boxing is cardio-based. Lean muscle, high stamina.
Phillip Rhee created the best of the best movies. He is a superstar in the martial arts world. Crazy how you don't know who he is.
Yusuke I invite you to come to Bulgaria to train in my dojo for week or two or more when you have time to come. I practice a Bulgarian martial art that is a combination of Karate,Judo and Wrestling. I think you will be interested. Also behind the style there is philosophy that is very close to Zen. And thanks fo the review of this movie it was one of my favorites when i was a child :)
All Eastern Martial Arts are called karate, since the other names are not known. Might be like seeing Recreational vehicle, a truck, a jeep a dumptruck, a van and calling them "car" because you only know things you get-in which have wheels is car. an airplane might be a flying car.-Ernie Moore Jr.
Phillip Rhee and his brother Simon was incredible to see their martial talent
Can you do video of the 80s classic, Big Trouble in Little China?!! Would be so awesome!!
Thanks for the RV. Watch "The Perfect Weapon" movie as the actor in that movie is top martial arts master.
Most Korean martial arts (such as Taekwondo) were marketed as Korean Karate until the 1970s when the Korean government banned this practice.
Have you thought about watching Undisputed 2 and 3 with Scott Adkins ? Some of the best fight scenes . First time watching it I though Scott used wires but after watching behind the scenes and interviews he did all the kicks himself which were some of the craziest I have ever seen.
Kicks good for showing off, useless for fighting.
I still find it funny how they qualify for the US Karate team to somehow travel to Korea and fight in Tae Kwon Do :D
On the european and asian styles of martial arts ,has to do what is the most efficient for who is using it .. All depends on body type. If your not good in kicks dont use them use your strenghts and avoid your weaknes.
The Rhee brothers (Tommy and Dahon)s father Jhoon Rhee was a Taekwondo Grandmaster. They are both really nice guys in real life. Never met Jhoon gthough
no they are not, people need to stop saying this. jhoon has several children a daughte Meme, a daughter Joanne, two sons Jimmy and Chun
_Formula_ is not the Brand, _Pontiac_ is… _Formula_ was a trim of the _Pontiac Firebird_
& _Karate_ is an umbrella term, especially in Hollywood productions such as this… that’s why _(for example)_ the _Karate Kid_ remake starring Jackie Chan as Mr. Miyagi the art he’s teaching, Miyagi/Jackie Chan even calls it _Kung Fu_ in the movie, even though the movie is CALLED _the Karate Kid_
Both Simon and Phillip Rhee are black belts in tae kwon do.
Yes, back in the 80’s, if someone said they wanted to learn karate, it encompassed any martial art. Towards the end of the 90’s, people got more technical with naming their discipline
in the 1980s, 70s, maybe even the 60s, kickboxing was just called karate, or sport karate, so Taekwondo fell under karate/kickboxing competitions in America. THis is from like the period when kickboxing orgs like WAKO, ISKA, etc were full of guys from almost any style, but it was all called "karate"
Can confirm American bikes also use hand brakes 😂
That was my suggestion. , I know Eric Roberts in Person worked with him in 2 mivies
The Rhee Brothers are pretty awesome.
Fantastic 80s Martial Arts Film, just read they called everything Karate in the 80s but it’s really a Taekwondo film. Still really good. From that era Only the Strong is cool ( Capoeira ) and Fist of Legend is Kung Fu.
I took Karate, in Halifax Nova Scotia ( Canada), hard to find, more Hapkido Karate.
Yeah, I was I was confused when I originally saw this…they called it the US National Karate Team but it was Taekwondo.
IIRC they mention karate a lot early in the film, which is confusing because you'd expect South Korea to be the best at TKD instead... but later on as the tournament begins there's a line that clarifies it's some kind of umbrella tournament that allows TKD, karate and judo.
Best film of Taekwondo!!
The korean guy is simon rhee hes a tkd master. His brother and father to.
This is a very good movie very heartwarming and it taught very good lessons about dedication, working hard and loss... My only issue was many of the actors actually had 0 skills in martial arts with the exception of the Korean master and Eric seemed to have skills as well.. I suggest you watch Jackie Chan's Drunken master 2 which to me is the hands down best martial arts movie made in the history of cinema and jackie chan himself said that this movie he trained the hardest in his life for.
Película "Lo Mejor de lo Mejor" Película que muestra las técnicas de pateó del TaeKwonDo (WTF) World TaeKwonDo Federación, mezclado con técnicas de defensa personal y técnicas de HapKiDo "Lo Mejor de lo Mejor" es un clásico para todo Taekwondoin ósea Practicante de TaeKwon-Do (ITF) o TaeKwonDo (WTF) Hoy día llamado (WT) TaeKwonDo Mundial gracias por reaccionar a esta excelente película clásica de las Artes Marciales del TaeKwonDo que dicho de pasó el Karate Coreano (TangSuDo) es su antecesor y también su evolución y así también lo es el TangSuDo con el (Karate-Do) Japonés y el (Karate- Tode) Okinawense en Coreano "Tode" TangSu saludos desde Mar del Plata Argentina 🥋☯️🙇♂️👍🏻🙂👍🏻
Phillip Rhee (Tommy Lee) and his brother Simon (Dae Han) are high ranking black belts in taekwondo and hapkido under Jun Chong, who was also Thomas Ian Griffith's (Terry Silver) teacher. Chong's North Hollywood school was the original filming location for the Cobra Kai dojo. Simon Rhee is/was a trainer on the Cobra Kai TV show.
Also, _"karate"_ is basically a blanket term for any Okinawan, Japanese, Korean or _"American"_ striking art. Even school that teach arts like hapkido that have no karate roots will often say karate on their signage.
Just don't watch any of the sequels. They get more and more ridiculous with each film.
Bro, you gotta watch Ong Bok! Tony Jiaa is amazing and does his own stunts. You wanna see impact?
Back in the 1980s, American people were largely ignorant of the differences between kung fu, karate, tae kwon do, and other martial arts. So if you see them used interchangeably in this movie, don't be surprised.
The rules for Tae Kwon Do sparring are very different than JKA. TKD uses protective equipment. There are no sweeps, traps, or throws, or submission holds.It's more sportive than karate.
Please let's see you review SIDE KICKS with chuck Norris. Great 80s movie, my fav.
Karate is an umbrella term in the usa. Not as much today but definitely when I was a kid. 95% of martial arts schools' names were always karate. Usually some kind of USA Karate, American Karate,.. to make it easy for the average American to accept. There was still a lot of negativity towards anything Asian following WW2, Korean War, and Vietnam. Plus kicking was still considered a dirty technique and something only un-manly men would do.
you should watch a movie with the greatest karate fighter ever, chuck norris
Hello, Question: When the show Cobra Kai came out, some people made fun of it because They said guy that are 40 plus years old should hang up there ghee, what's your opinion on this??? Thanks.
In the US Tae is considered Karate even though they are different martial arts !
Looked thru most of your uploads. Did not see any reaction/reviews to Tony Jaa.
Would like to see what you think of his style.
In one of your videos, you asked why the fighter, Jeff, was attacking the guys knee.
In Tony Jaa's movies, his character explains going after the weakest part of the body and that being the joints.
But his style also uses the elbow and knee for a large percentage of his strikes.
He has 2 good series of movies.
One series is titled. "The Protector"
And the other is titled. "Ong Bak"
Sensei, I see a lot of guard dropping when they are kicking. Their hands drop to their sides when they kick. (Not all bit many).
I was taught that you must keep your guard up when kicking.
Your thoughts in Kenpo Karate? See it in the movie, Perfect Weapon
Watch China o Brien with Cynthia Rothrock, she started in films in china and they wanted a man to play the part but she was that good they let her do it. She also did competitions before films.
That was a hook kick, that is a TKD kick, the ax kick is more straight up and down
You really need to watch American Ninja.
Sometimes Karate is used as an umbrella term
u must see the movie kuro obi a realy good karate movie
Naka Tatsuya a 7th dan shotokan champion in JKA is fighting in the movie
greetings from Germany
Oss
Please watch "The Perfect Weapon" Staring Jeff Speakman and features Kenpo. The acting is lacking a little but the fight scenes Rock.
Taekwondo still has hook kicks. Hook kicks are almost the exact same in both Taekwondo and Karate
We definitely use handbrakes on our bikes.
When I was a kid I did tang soo doo
5:29 More migration from Korea all over the world made Tae Won do more popular
