  • lcvd and chuck norris to appear in the new upcoming part 2 of the expendables

  • Shittiest ending ever 

  • This is not the US version anyway.

    You can tell during the final fight with all the "jump cuts" that are not actually jump cuts at all, just where the flashback sequences have been cut out...which are in the original US version.

    There were also several other scenes cut previously that were in the original US version too.

  • @sperrin this is the best version the other version sucks this version has the best soundtrack thumbs up if anyones with me :)

  • Love how at the 4:05 mark, when JCVD does "that look", he looks like Popeye.

  • finally the movie with the good music

  • This movie has just inspired me to do 5 sit-ups and a few stretches and shit... I'm gonna go to sleep now and I expect Bruce lee to be stood over me when I wake up.

  • This was essentially a "poor man's" version of Karate Kid with less then stellar performances but with much better choreographed fight sequences. In my youth I preferred this film to seeing Ralph Machhio get owned like a bitch the entire film all to a build up of a stupid crane kick in the tournament.

  • @AriesKnight78 just nailed it one pal fight scenes are better in this the acting maybe not but kinda the beauty of it. karate kid was to unbeliveable considering how utterley weak he was in the whole film 

  • Ok, so I will fly to Seattle. Visit Bruce Lee's grave and complain of failure. He will return from the dead and train me? At no cost? Sign me up

  • Lol at how JCVD keeps busting off the referee and then just gets rid of him by spin kicking him out the ring, like beat it!

  • Thanks so much for uploading this, great to see this version after so long, with the scenes that weren't in the version I saw. People may knock this movie but personally I think it's awesome.

  • great film do you have the second one to this film if so it would be great if u could upload it as iv not seen it yet

  • Jason: "This time its gonna be different... Russian"!

    Van Damme: RAAAAAA!!

    LOL!!!

  • @FAproduction1...JCVD was a bad guy in Black Eagle too. Not sure if it was before this one though.....sidenote..I wonder if he ever took juice, cuz it looked like he had some gyno here, but not in any other movies...either way..he made this movie tha SHIT!!!

  • @92belikewater

    Fuackkk, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

  • this is a different version from what i remember maybe i saw the UK version can't remember

  • correct me please..is this the first movie of JCVD if so..I can see why he was a bad guy,,after this..He always plays as a good guy..but kickboxing cant compete or win against Bruce Lee's martial arts..its impossible..its like a sword against an atomic bomb..see, difference..I still think JCVD did an incredible job and he has always inspire me to do better in life and in fighting for what is right..My Pride..yeahhhhh

  • @FAproduction1 It was the first film in which he had a part, but he was also a stuntman in the first 'Missing In Action' film in 1984 with Chuck Norris.

  • @joelsttn

    Thanks

    

  • look at how much blush VD is wearing....lol......ah the 80's

  • "Your good " "I get better " lol

  • I remember watching this at lunchtime at school in 1989 then went out on the football field and kicked a loda of asses then got expelled,It was worth it ,love this movie*************

  • @krystalcamron I have to call BullShit on that one.

  • ah, the old smother them with the corner cushion trick followed by spin em round in the ropes, the old ones work the best eh.........................

  • awesome movie

    fucking bullshit ending

  • Very much thanks for the upload I stayed up the rest of the night to watch it, I feel like im 16 again !

  • I'm glad fat ass got that patented Van Damme headbutt!!!

  • After this blow, he would not get up I think. 6:50

  • Guess Jean Claude doesnt like being called a Russian

  • funny" is not karate from seattler any more! lol

  • Ivan should have learned jiu jitsu, should have went for that armbar at 6:58 thats were he messed up. xD

  • Thanks for the upload LieutenantCobra :D brought back  memories of being a kid :D \m/

  • Did the black man die?

  • this is pretey much like bruce lee vs van damme here...a dream fight everyone wants =D

  • some how Bruce Lee came back from the dead in order to teach some kid Tae Kwon do.lol

  • @wubranch1 you just made my day!!! lolololol

  • @wubranch1 wasnt tkd he was taught.

  • now thats LA karate!!!

  • now thats LA karate!!!

  • Lol, the editing on this is actually really bad. If u watch closely at 7:24 to 7:26 there's a cut and Kurt McKinney is suddenly in front of Van Damme and has already landed a punch to the stomach lol. I'm not criticising it cuz this is actually one of my favourate films from when I was younger. I actually had this version too. Back on good ol' VHS

  • best part of the movie is when fat boy gets head butted by van damme! 4:50

  • 4:43!

    *The thought of the fatso*

    "Man i'm gonna need something to eat or i'll die right here right now!"

    "Where's the food man?! Where?!? "

    "Hmm, that russian guy's legg looks quite tasty..."

    "Okay, that's it! YAAAAAAAH!!!!"

    And there you go=)

  • as if dat chump beats van damme hahahaha

  • @1203ste Van Damme is a prick if the guy had been trained by Bruce Lee he would of been good

    besides its a film.

    And in real life Bruce Lee would kill Van Damme.

  • as if that chump beats van damme ! get real !

  • thanks for uploading this is better than the shitty dvd version

    this is the same as the uk vhs video i had years ago

  • @malc1976 as if dat chump beats van damme hahahaha

  • 4:04

    that's one stupid looking face lol

  • Now that I've seen this.Gotta say even though I wanted to see more of Van Damme coz the man's a legend but this was just BADASS! better than Bloodsport.4.5 / 5.0

  • @seanjeaici

    This movie was directed by corey yuen, who choreographs a lot of jet li movies and directed KISS OF THE DRAGON too :). You can see a lot of asian style cinema in no retreat no surrender

  • this and universal soldier regeneration was his best movies of JCVD

  • 6:11 anyone remember that dance from Kickboxer? lol or 7:35 bicycle kick from street fighter.

  • Comment removed

  • what is the difference in the u.s version then? it seems exactly the same as the u.k version

  • no difference in the video versions between UK & US except the newer DVD versions are a lot longer but the scenes in question are of irrelevance to the plot and make the film really gay in my opinion. The only good parts in in the final fight scene with JCVD. We get to see important flashbacks with Bruce Lee when J?ason combats JCVD's moves (i.e, really fast stomach punches - on the springed bullworker, kicks and blocks - the wooden dolly and most importantly, the spinning kick.

  • top film - great ending

  • That referee's hair is a trip!

  • Love this film, absolute classic.

    Great soundtrack too.

    But there are glaring errors in it, i mean van damme having a different character name to his origional one in the end credits? come on lol.

  • hahaha this movie is so awesome but u look a tthe quality and compare it to movies now days and think what the hell lol

  • that back flip kick is a classic part to this film

  • them movie should end with him waking up to an alarm clock and going to work at McDonald's. HA HA HA HA!!!!!!

  • @pLaIrVaIdNoGx  LMAO

  • this is pretty much the worst movie ever made, when i was a kid me and my cuz watched it and made fun of it at least 50 or 60 times. SO AWESOMELY LAME!!!!!!!!!!

  • So cheesy and awesome at the same time. Thanks for the upload.

  • "but this time will be different russian"

    "Why you! Im not russian. Im Belgian! I should be russian but mr van damme didnt want to do the accent."

  • Karl Brezalin? I thought JCVD's name was Ivan Krachinsky...

  • @jamasianman One of the many continuity errors this film has.

  • @jamasianman its van damme.he can have as many different names as he wants to^^

  • @jamasianman it is, its a continuity fault...and it's Karl Brezdin.

  • At 8:35 , the music starts again

  • At 7:30 , it sounds like he says "Hold it"

  • I always wrap things up and hit them; before...

  • When Jason runs up to save Kelly, Riley and Scott-thats the best part of the movie along with RJ's; No Retreat, No Surrender

  • R J @ 7:16 is classic ! That was always my favorite part growing up !

  • Van Damme sounds like a child.

  • first Movie and i mean very first movie i see JCVD as a bad guy and man i love it! lol no hommo he has a good image of being a bad guy

  • good movie , but where are the training montage with that gay part?? hahaha. and with the song : hold on the vision ???

  • @TITOMONTE those crap parts aren't in this or the UK video versions, only in the newer DVD's. They are so crap and make the film really gay which is why this version is the best and why they cut them all out.

  • van-dame this movie takes me way back

  • good movie

  • This movie back in the day when it was over made you want to go outside and kick someone in the face. LOL first person you see just kick the hell out of them

  • Up until the the final fight the US version is better.It really needs the music and training flashbacks to make it an epic ending like on the UK version.

  • @jpmurphree agree, if only the training flashbacks were on this, this version would rock. I'm thinking of editing them in.

  • 0:30 to 0:40 is hot'

  • this is a good movie.as cheesy as it may seem,i love it.i love that it's SO 80's and the fight scenes were pretty good.im a huge Van Damme fan so loved he was a part of this movie.this is like one of those good bad movies if that makes sense haha.lol i first only watched this movie cause Van Damme was in it really,but it turned out to be an ok movie on it's own really.i enjoyed this film for the most part,the fight scenes were actually pretty good,ecspecially for the time and era.

  • Love this film I used to watch it as a kid!!! Just sat here and watched all way through....... ITS THAT SLIMEBALL RJ lol

  • Like they even had to thrown in the towel at that point

  • Thanks for posting this version!! I think the US version cut out all the things that needed to be cut out. Even though the Scott and RJ scene w/ the skateboard was funny, it takes away from the serious 80's kickass attitude (which makes it so funny/fun to watch).

  • @modsoul325 agree, the parts cut were all gay and made the characters really lame, Jasons dad was a wimp, wimpering in hospital, scott and RJ were so gay and childish on the skateboard like little kids, ian reily was a lame champion and a right moron on the phone, Bruce Lee's dialogue was almost unrecognisable in the newer DVD version. This version is way better, if only the flashbacks to Jasons main finishing moves were included, this would be perfect.

  • the last fight was very bad .. the whole movie was good untill he came into the ring and they didnt do his "jeet kune do" justice.. they chopped up and had lOUSY editing .

    BTW the kid that place the part i have never seen him in other movies?

    i saw one shot of him on youtube and he LOOKED OLDER then van damme ? strange

  • As much love as I have for my memory of this movie , I must admit it is almost unwatchable , almost . lol

  • the last time i saw a Russian hit a black guy that hard i was watching rocky 4 lol...0:47

  • @murdnun that was funny

  • @murdnun HAHAHAHAHA

  • Hahahahaha the faces made by JCVD to the ref at 4:14 and 4:40 were like "What the f*** do you want?!"

  • 5:14-5:16 guy in the front 2nd to last on the left

  • "this time will be different....RUSSIAN"

    lol, ahhh the cold war.

  • indeed i forgot that this movie was based around that time lol

  • @1upp r u a parrot hehehe

  • I Love this movieeeh!

  • Did anyone notice that Van Damme was credited for a wrong role? His name was Ivan in the movie but credit was for Karl Brezalin.

  • @bassivity you are right, typo I guess LOL

  • @bassivity Karl Brezdin and yes we know, its a continuity fault

  • This movie sucks...

  • epic movie sooo epic 10/10

  • The US version of this movie is terrible, the cuts make it incoherent and the lack of decent music destroys a lot of the mood set by the original.

    Disappointing =/

    Love the international version though, its like watching a different movie, I recommend you watch it, if you liked this version you will love it.

    =)

  • Dude u got the Suck Ass international version, so gay! But u guys are gay anyways, So I guess it fits U. Its a USA movie filmed in Seattle dumb ass!

  • @oscar8584 they have taken away the flashbacks. sad.

  • @evorex99 um no what are you on, this version is the best. the new DVD version has so many gay scenes that are irrelevant to the plot. Jason doing stomach reps with RJ smiling sitting on his dick. Gay as fuck. Scott jumping over a low fence landing on a skateboard, gay as fuck. Jason throwing a fit in his bedroom as if hes just had a good tug coz his dad give him a bollocking for fighting, Gay as fuck. This version is the best. The only thing i do like in DVD is last fight with Lee's flashbacks

  • 4:46 4:50

    BOOM!

  • nice film i like it

  • hahahaha I cant stop laughing at 2:25 reilly's stance. By the way I love the film!!!

  • Great film. I've loved this movie since I was a kid. I have not watched it in ages. Thank you for posting it.

  • AAWWESOOME !!

  • Jean Claude Van Damme has a very bad accent haha and his mouth, omg hahah lol.

  • if i rememer right last time i watched it it played foreigner - cold as ice at the end or?

  • nice.. been trying to find this movie for months, thanks for posting.

  • come on in the last fight Van Damme fighting was slow like he was holding back he could have beaten hime

  • lol karate kid might had have better acting but the fighting in this movie kicks the ass out toyosan

  • @PixieLily06 True. The Karate Kid on the other hand had a message.

  • jean claude van damme was and still is yolked! i love how he tried to play a russian with a french/belgian accent lol. i also even love the way this movie made cold war "references" by an american fighting a russian. like they did in rocky iv. of course this movie tried to hard. still a classic! but this was during the time the cold war craze was dying and nobody really tried caring anymore. a great movie though!

  • ahhhh... the good old days. even though i was born in the mid 80s, i still grew up with these movies. and in my opinion, nothing compares to the campy 80's style of cinema. from the bad acting and the horrible extras, to the way almost every movie had a moral and how all the directors and producers were on coke. it's just a nostalgia that brings a smile to my face.

  • thanks for posting!

  • i never seen this movie and dang this is awesome. be good if jean was in it more.

  • yesssssssss Great movie thanks for posting been looking for it for a long time. Now if anybody can post up lady dragon 1, china obrien 1, and king of the kickboxers 2 up I will be one happy muthafucker

  • Man, what a ride. I watched this movie hundreds of times when I was a kid. Now, 20 years later, it's awesome to watch it again, even thought nobody in it can act their way out of a paper bag. Now I'd just like to be able to torrent this version, and not the other crappy version!

  • @mnakonechny me too, this rocks, DVD version is gay as fuck, the only better part is the important flashbacks missing from this which include Bruce Lee and how Jasons moves combat JCVD's at the very end, (fast punches, kicks and blocks, and most importantly, the spinning kick.

  • OMG!!!!! THANK you for posting this version!!!!!!!!! I LOVE this movie!!!!!!!!!! I HATE all the flashbacks and crap and the diff music that they put in it. THANK you again for THIS version!!!!!!!

  • @ajujubee agree, except I like the flashbacks, they made the final fight even better and a bit longer.

  • I love how van damme doesn't even bother putting on a russian accent. lol

  • in the movies,

    americans always defeat russians on the ring LOL

    But in real life, Russian MMA fighters like Fedor KO those steroid american dumbos all the time.

  • i remember wheni use to watch it all the time..it brings back a lot of memories

  • the US version sucked guys come on, they cut out neally all the flash backs in the final fight and the kick arse song at the end was left out it was lame, i loved this movie as a kid and still do but this version was shit!!!!

  • @maybluffn this version is the best, the new DVD is shit. The only thing I do agree with you on is the missing flashbacks, they should have been left in on the final fight.

  • Van Damme rules as a good guy and even better as a bad guy.

  • thanks for posting :)

  • Right like that kid can actually really beat Van Dam what a joke.

  • Van Damn was much younger here look how small he is.

  • ian riley is proppa good he kicked van dames ass

  • @draganastjepic one of the best fights ever seen in a movie, the choreography and punches kicks and blocks were truly awesome.

  • not seen this movie in years, cool!

  • cool man thnak you so mich for posting this movie

    really nice i have been looking for this movie for years =)

    remembering the god old days when i was kid

  • In real life Peter Aerts would kick the shit out of single one of them.

  • Hey thanks for posting this. I thought it was really cool how Jason really looked up to Bruce Lee. I have to add though that the russian fool fighting those first two guys was too implausible. He was just on a different level and how come the people running the game let those pricks take over the match like that? Awesome film by the way and Kurt McKinney looks like he should have been in "Boogie Nights".
  • Off course he would Black warrior, i mean, look at that wimp he's up against supposing to be the new Bruce Lee :p Get the fuck outta here man with that stupid crap :D

  • Come on man it was a cool "movie" not real life. Its about the underdog, those underdogs make a great story.

  • In a real fight Jean Claude would have killed that kids bitch ass. Cut the Bruce Lee shit there's only one of him and this movie makes it look like a nerd can change into Lee in about a month training. very fake, but good fight scene's.

  • true van damme wold kick that kids ass in real life

  • LMAO!!!!@ 4;43!!! The ref landing on cardboard boxes!!!

  • the only change i would've made would be the Frank to go before Dean to show JCVD beating them in weight class order. Going from Dean who looks like a middle heavy to lightweight Frank is just stupid looking.

  • 4:46 ahaha he bit his leg

  • Yay, America beat the Russian. Now they can buy from McDonald's in Moscow, pft...

  • God damn I love this movie. Watched it all the time in High school. Motivated to learn martial arts because of this movie.

  • Ironic how the American is in red and the Russian in white

    You would think the other way around

  • i thought the same thing.

  • I cant believe that Van Damme didnt block those 3 kicks at 5.23. Hes better than.

  • fucks me off that people think to be as good as bruce lee they should imitate bruce lee. They just come off looking like pratts.

    And the idea that the kid couuld beat JCVD after he failed to beat the other kids that JCVD beat is a joke

  • the kid was trained by lee's spirit. DOESN'T THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU?

    come on, man.

  • yh but if yu watched the film without reading the plot you wouldn't have a clue that he was trained by lees spirit, the film just seems to give off the idea that he wanted to be like lee.

  • LOL! at 4:04 never seen that side of Van Damme before.

    He looks PISSED... in a cute way. hahah

  • the ref looks like the Swedish Napoleon Dynamite

  • bruce lee :D

  • This movie is the Rocky of martial arts films lol.

  • What's that thing that Ian is wearing on his chest during the match?????

  • 7:25 Jason appears out of thin air for a quick punch! lol
