The fact that coach Kuso started saying "NO" to Tommy Lee, he wanted him to realize that martial arts is not about killing or taking revenge, but it's about having mercy and compassion against one's opponent. This film really portrays what martial arts is about.
It teaches nothing more than to spare your enemies at your expense and to expect them to do the right thing in return and that's not what happens in real life! The rich stay rich and the poor stay poor don't hate corruption take dignity and love being merciful stay stagnant and when given the chance spare evil & wrong because it's holy and right!
He was actually in the running for it for the '95 movie. It was between him and Robin Shou . Supposedly Rhee give a good audition and account of himself but the producers saw something in Shou that stood out more.
I thoroughly enjoyed the parts where they trained, especially the Korean team, very raw and very focused sessions. I'm no martial artist, I just grew up watching this stuff, very encouraging and self disciplined. just as life. "you can be the best of the best." -James Earl Jones-
I was in junior grade when i first saw this great movie. And this inspired me to join TKD later under korean coaches. To Phillip & Simon Rhee kamsamida!
Another thing, afterwards, Dae Han makes the touching gesture of offering himself as Tommy's brother...so Phillip Rhee could have broke character and said, " Dude...YOU ARE MY BROTHER "

To save a life in defeat is to earn victory and honor within. Your brother too was a great fighter. I deeply regret your loss. And i offer myself as your brother.
Phillip Rhee is underrated MA. When you think about JCVD and Phillip Rhee side by side there is no comparison. Better technique, movement and skill in this fight scene alone surpasses anything done by JCVD despite being choreographed
Yes, in an interview, Phillip stressed that counter-balance the emphasis on kicks, development in hapkido ( throws ) and kickboxing ( for tge development of hands ) were added
This is one of the greatest films ever... Such a well acted and performed film. So many great messages in it about Desire, passion, pain mercy forgiveness and friendships..❤
Agreed. I don't know why Eric Roberts didn't like this movie. He even got top billing above James Earl Jones for this film when Phillip Rhee clearly was the star and focus of it.
This movie was so damn good as a kid watching this it felt and looked so real to me all the matches did and I was so sad they lost but how it ended was gr8 awesome movie
@@luckycali13 Well, if James Earl Jones just told him he’s not supposed to let anyone tell him he didn’t win that match, and the referee just told him he lost it, what should he do? Fight the referee?
@@hughmanatee7657 he was meaning he couldn't find back and basically allowed him to finish him but he decided not to because he was gonna kill em so he won in that aspect
Haha always loved this scene! It's funny when you watch it again as an adult and truly see how out of touch of reality this fight scene truly is. Like after 2 minutes of fighting and the damage on both of them seems like they were fighting for an hour straight 😂 Classic!!
That 'NO' still resonates in my brain to this day, clear as a bell. Still remember watching this one and the sequel on VHS. Edit: the only sequel that mattered anyway, part 2.
Rewatched this earlier and noticed they misspelled congratulations in Eric roberts character invitation lol crazy the stuff that the crew missed before they had a computer to check for them lol
Классный фильм, с детсва выросли смотря его и к спорту был хороший толчок. Режиссеру и актерам спасибо за фильм. Уже у самого дети взрослые ,а этот фильм ну в полгода раз обязательно песматриваю, крассивая техника бойцов Кореи. Спасибо!
When i was younger, i didnt understand why Tommy didnt hit him. Now that im older, i completely understand. Anything he landed would have most likely killed him at that point.
For me it was hard to understand why didnt want to at least win the tournament but now understand that the match between him and Dae Han was more important than simply winning or losing. This movie is everything lol I love this movie
It's still bring a tear to my eyes even now watching it 30 odd years later, so much raw passion emotion and power in this classic martial arts movie, Tommy Lee proved to really be, the very best of the best.....
Me encanto este video asi demuestra la pieda y el honor de cada peleador siempre ay que tener piedad no importa si el otro no tenga asi desmuestra ser humilded uno
Eric Roberts did train in his youth. I'm not sure if he actually ever earned a black belt in anything or not. He briefly talked about it when he was on that Ridiculousness show. But he did have some training prior.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU to all the people who enjoyed this movie.”Dae Han”
Thank YOU! You guys were a big inspiration for me
Simon can you share this video? Thanks!
My mom rented this movie on VHS when I was little. I've never forgotten it. :-)
Thank you for your work Simon. Love this movie just as much as when it first came out.

One of the most underrated movies of all time. With so many great messages.
It's awesome to know that these two are actually brothers in real life.

This is probably the best fight movie. Brilliant fight scenes and a great Story.
Tommy Would've made a great lui Kang for the original M.K movie.
That's exactly what I though, when I watched this movie 20 Goddamn years ago XD
yea it helps that he looks like the original MK 1 Liu Kang too
He was actually in the running for it for the '95 movie. It was between him and Robin Shou . Supposedly Rhee give a good audition and account of himself but the producers saw something in Shou that stood out more.
For sure ...
I respect Tommy for not finishing him. We all know he won.
James Earl Jones - "You won that match. Don't ever forget that."
He said that to Tommy the next scene where this video ended.
This movie wasn’t simply showing who’s the best of the best in martial arts, but really the best of the best at being a human being.

instead of receiving it because you trained and earnt it
Donnie Yen, Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White, Philip Rhee. These people have awesome kicking forms.
How you gonna watch this clip and not add dae Han to the list. Cmon that’s Simon Rhee.
Scott Adkins has his own youtube channel where he interviews all the greats. He's talked with Michael Jai White and Phillip Rhee
Not sure about Yen, but the other all have Korean style backgrounds.
An unbelievable and awesome moment in film making about forgiveness.

Years and years and years later, the end of this fight scene and the ending just get me in stiches still. Such a great movie and ending.
By not kicking Dae Han to death he kept hold of his soul...and gained a brother.
