Best of the Best (1989)-Alex Fights part 1

[unshutoptic1]

They're good, but they have no Jiu-Jitsu

[42Cleve]

@unshutoptic1 Put a sock in it!

[AtticWarrior1994]

Holy crap is Eric Roberts BUILT in these movies.

[ziggyzo101]

BEST karate movie of all time!!!

[ziggyzo101]

His hair is disgusting

[PaulNat360]

Eric Roberts = Geese Howard

[42Cleve]

@PaulNat360 You saw that too huh? LOL

[myofibre]

DAMNNNNNNNNED !!!! DARTH VADOR IS THE COACH THE US TEAM !!! ... That means North Korea team is the goods !!!

[Nort0nPC]

[aa3gunner]

[energ8t]

[vlkyX]

[TheoryTech]

I gunna watch this clip

[SmArOv]

lol the wite dude fights as if he we made by wodden >_<

[emekonen]

ALL the makings of a great 80's flick. Cheesy lines, cheesy emotional moments, a guy with a terribly dorky loser kid, great camera work, cheesy plot and story line, and James Earl Jones.

[krypticzisback]

@emekonen You forgot commentators

[emekonen]

@krypticzisback oh yea, good call.

[younfellony]

@emekonen Yep, you said it.

[ninman58]

I never see blood in real like Taekwondo.

[robocoastie]

@ninman58 television is dramatized of course. Real TKD tournaments also don't allow many of the moves you see in this video so comparing this to TKD tourny's is just silly.

[Stainpouch]

Then he comes back.. "I'm gonna take your head off."

[frasermack18]

i wish james earl jones taught me TKD

[CitySkin09]

"I'm gonna KICK your ass..."

[ItsEViLDeD]

@CitySkin09 lol hell yea " Alex its you and me, you and me " !!!

[CitySkin09]

@ItsEViLDeD - "We're takin' home the gold, Tommy."

[ItsEViLDeD]

@CitySkin09 i still love the quote you used!! " im gonna kick your ass "

[studystrike]

koreans don't practice taekwondo anymore these days, they practice starcraft.

[honeybun33]

we all aint nuthin but po white trash ...

[ASAMOAH24]

I'm gonna kick your ass!

[Lassannn]

Let me tell you something about my...sister...Julia. I baked a carrot cake for her, and she never even SHOWED!

[Glenn1967ful]

Good film, but in a real competition both fighters would be disqualified for making threats and inappropriate behaviour.

[bennettonix]

nostalgia, warm kick ass feeling

[tutubo2011]

es la mejor pelicula de torneo de artes marciales que han dado....es mejor q las partes que le siguieron

[vakaholic]

SHIT CAMON FUCKIN POP ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTT

[harlequin75]

That's the guy who got bitch slapped and tenderized in The Perfect Weapon by Jeff Speakman

[ninjakram]

2nd heaviest weight class? Chris Penn should have gone last then.

[hectormc27]

alguien podria ponerle subtitulos en español

[USMCrecruit09]

LoLoLoL!!! "I'm going to kick your ass.... (Bows)" Hahaha!!! xD

[angie6772]

Best movie Ever!!! I could watch this everyday for the rest of my life.

[LordFieldmonkeys]

Notice when they wanted to have a real fight,it ended up as a wrestle on the ground...

Taekwondo doesnt work in real life...

[seolma]

@LordFieldmonkeys

It's a movie. TKD works in real life as any martial art. It depends on the way the fighter trains.

[seolma]

@LordFieldmonkeys

Usually, people who go the ground in a street fight are people who can't control themselves.

TKD works in real life as any martial art. It depends on the way the fighter trains.

[TheJayTrain]

@seolma Pfft. Did you ever consider that people who go to the ground in a bar fight may just not like to fuck around and would rather break someones arm then keep hoping a kick to the head works?

[paikmendez]

how gay was that little push fight everybody got into.

[stringskippa]

Combine Taekwondo, Jiu Jitsu, and Muay Thai and you get Anderson Silva. Taekwondo is real and is being used by MMA pound for pound best Anderson Silva. Anderson's spinning back kick and stance shift are classic Taekwondo moves.

[hoduken39]

@stringskippa yeah but GSP is gonna rock your boy anderson silva and retire with his belt

[stringskippa]

@hoduken39 - Don't be so sure about that. A juiced up Sonnen couldn't even finish an injured Silva in 5rounds. A healthy Silva would knock out GSP trying to take him down. And if GSP takes him down, GSP would most likely lose. Anderson has one of the most active and dangerous guards in MMA. GSP isn't a complete fighter as most people say. He hasn't been truly tested and has a weak chin. Anderson has had better opponents in my humble opinion.

[hoduken39]

@stringskippa i love silva he is my fav no doubt but in all reality he is no GSP, GSP is one of a kind almost to the point of being perfect sonen proved something in his fight with silva and that is silva is human, fopr a while i could swear he was a terminator lol. but silva is like a bull you can't let him get momentum GSP in my honest opinion would take silva down knee him in the ribs till he can't take it like he did to so many others he would win. but tht fight is never gonna happen

[stringskippa]

@hoduken39 -Remember,Silva came to that fight injured and Sonnen was on PED's. Silva hasn't been beat by a wrestler/ground&pounder, EVER. Some fighters have taken Anderson down but still FAILED to beat him. Silva's guard is one of the most active and dangerous in MMA. GSP is indeed 1 of the best pxp fighter but if he just takes Silva down and do G&P,that won't be enough to win. Maybe if GSP tries to learn the scissor-heel technique.. and while GSP tries to take him down, he will get KTO'd.

[stringskippa]

@hoduken39 - There's one fighter who has beat Sonnen 3 times and is a much much better wrestler than Sonnen - Jeremy Horn. Check out how a HEALTHY Silva dismantles a much better wrestler by watching his fight with Jeremy Horn. In that fight, Jeremy had taken Silva down a few times, but still failed to beat him with G&P. People just don't realize how good Silva is on the ground. As much as I like to see him knee his opponents out, I also love his fights against Sonnen and Lutter.

[hoduken39]

@stringskippa i know i watched silva's fights im a fan of his but as a fan of the sport as well i can't deny the fact that GSP would win, but then again as a fan of the sport i can also say the world of MMA is completely unpredictable and that fight really could go either way. and jeremy horn was great at what he did and how he did it but he was no GSP. i feel l;ike thart fight would be the best ever i hope it happenes

[stringskippa]

@hoduken39 - GSP is no Jeremy Horn either. Jeremy could take a punch. I doubt if GSP can still implement his gameplan when he faces a striker of Anderson's caliber. Look what happened to the wrestler Lindland when he faced Belfort.. Look at what happened to Couture when he faced Liddell. But then again, you never know what's gonna happen... But as far as records and numbers go, Silva is still way better than GSP. Numbers don't lie.

[hoduken39]

@stringskippa it will never happen so im not really worried and silva is not on GSP's level idc what you say cuz so far all you did was about how has beens compare to the best in the world and its so not true jeremy horn got rocked mad times i seen it GSP got beat 2 times cuz he uunderestimated he is a phenomenal fighter i love silva but as a fan of the sport i can't deny that GSP would have a slight edge if not big edge over silva, i have seen silva tap out he is great no doubt about that

[stringskippa]

@hoduken39 -Silva is definitely not on GSP's level coz Silva is on a higher level. The numbers still say Anderson is the best. Numbers don't lie. How many times has GSP defended his belt? - definitely lesser than what Silva has achieved. Has GSP gone up in weight class and beat a former champion?-NO. Does GSP have more consecutive wins than Silva? - NO. Does Silva have more championship belts (in different organizations) than GSP - YES. Has Silva ever been KO'd - No, GSP - YES. 

[hoduken39]

@stringskippa but he is no GSP

[stringskippa]

@hoduken39 - GSP can't even finish lousy strikers, has been knocked out, and tapped out to strikes. OVERRATED.

[americanfighter82]

this is one of the best movies ever, i'm gonna kick your ass, great:D

[gripbud2bros]

this is one of the BEST ever

[herbalenquiry]

pathetic but not as pathetic as van damn

[Supernaturalrocks7]

Pure karate!! This movie should be second best next to the karate kid series. I love karate,and those movies make me love it even more!!

[ajwall1]

@Supernaturalrocks7

Every fight scene in this movie is choreographed around taekwondo. They simply called it karate because it is universally known. It should be easy to tell it's tkd anyway since it's based in korea.

[BLONG47]

"vicious aerial back-knuckle"... lol classic taekwondo technique.

[SeansGreatMovies]

im going to kick your ass lol

[1pikeslayer]

Yapostadodat....hahahaha!

[egg64]

"GODDAMN I SAID TAPE IT UHHHHHH-HUP!!"

[deathbyhighkick]

@egg64

HAHAHA! Perfect!

[edjr672]

Pop it Tommy, POP IT!

[lordcereal28]

0:51 "I'm gonna kick your ass." 2:19 "Your mine."

[masterblastertkd]

Why they chose Eric Roberts for a tkd movie, i`ll never understand. He totally ruined the whole thing... what style is he supposed to be using anyway...

[colstreamer]

@masterblastertkd looks like some kinda kung fu style, I've seen that guard before in freestyle tournaments.... But yeah I agree, his kicking was stiff and unconvincing

[head63127]

eric roberts is amazing

[Arc6789]

aerial back nipple? 2:03 or did he say knuckle?

[GotFiredFromDisney]

@Arc6789 LOL . I think he said aerial back knuckle.

[colstreamer]

@GotFiredFromDisney yep like jumping back fist! What a plastic technique how are we supposed to believe he got floored with that???

[RelevantOne]

Eric Roberts Cries with the best of em.

[crimson20871]

THIS is the BEST film!

[Fredi3206]

so gay!!!!! check out ip man the movie

[MultiRyuhayabusa]

@Fredi3206 that movie was so badass i love the fight scene were he takes on 10 black belts

[blackfrancis75]

how was Dae Han such a bad ass? How could he tell how far away your kicks and punchers were? He could only see in 2D...

[geetarism]

@blackfrancis75 LMMFAO

[mumbatik]

Me and my grandfather watched this when I was 8 yrs old. I was learning kyokushin from him.

Brings back good memories thanks for uploading this vid.

[Kellystarrr]

Arrogant americans, idiots.

[mumbatik]

@Kellystarrr I'm asian american to be exact half filipino and japanese. So why are you living in the UK if westerners including Americans are Idiots?

[pochtli]

Gotta Love Eric Roberts opening stance though With the hands in the air. Looks cool.

[zues2451997]

he kicked that mother fucker as big time

[fuckcalgarysucks]

This has to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. That Alex guy is such a fucking fag.

[Wikitabah]

"goin, DOWN DOWN DOWN!" made me lol

[toothANDclaw13]

like people in a bar would be watching this...

[RelevantOne]

@toothANDclaw13 Maybe Eric Roberts had a lot of friends there,some people like the crying bitch type.

[Huhmasta]

@toothANDclaw13 Seriously, I was like "wtf", who are these assholes? They make it seem like TKD is a big as football in america, bahahaa.

[themadmallard]

@toothANDclaw13

if you watch the rest of the movie, thats the bar where the team got into a fight and kicked everyones ass

[toothANDclaw13]

@themadmallard then that makes even less sense supposing these are the same guys who all got their asses kicked.

[themadmallard]

@toothANDclaw13

back in the day, socially, it would be more common to take a sense of pride that you found out you got your ass kicked by say Randy Coture or something.

I understand what you mean, most younger folks won't get the humor in this because culture has changed. this is a different time.

[toothANDclaw13]

@themadmallard yeah, i also suppose these guys would have to question *why* they got their asses kicked in the first place. If they took away something positive I could see them cheering. If not, they're just stupid.

[bajoker00]

@toothANDclaw13 isnt UFC watched in bars all the time??? kinda the same thing??

[toothANDclaw13]

@bajoker00 not really. UFC promotes more and sells more merchandise, lol. 

[JDL8807207]

@toothANDclaw13 this is too brutal one reason why tkd is so famous because its a safe sport now and deadly martial art : )

[ItsEViLDeD]

@toothANDclaw13 lol i know huh!! that shits bad ass!!

[mrrictus]

@toothANDclaw13

That bar is in his home town.

[rmaxtpmx]

@toothANDclaw13 you clearly don't come from a small town, from which one of your own actually left to do something big. they most certainly would. they'd name a street after him.

[toothANDclaw13]

@rmaxtpmx So what? This isn't 1950 where "Billy" from the auto garage finally got his chance to make a name for himself in the great wide world yonder the distant horizon. AND I wasn't personally criticizing anyone REAL, just a FICTIONAL character.

[deadlylyrx]

@toothANDclaw13 The bar scene is in his hometown so they would likely get it on satelite if the hometown supports him.

[splack11111]

@toothANDclaw13 lol

[Forsythia24]

@toothANDclaw13 They are watching it because the American team kicked that bar's ass in the beginning of the movie

[DanielTheWalrus]

Hahaha. So that's where Eric Roberts stop his p´romissing acting career to try to become Van Damme.

[rammstein2001]

ridiculous fight scenes.....ridiculous

[CombatSportFan]

Was there ever any full contact point tournaments like this? I have searched around and couldn't find anything exactly like this so I was wondering if they created it for the movie or if it was based on a legitimate style of competition.

[cheatingwanker]

i never understood the ending when philip rhee lost deliberatley,he didnt need to kill him, could of just scored the final point with a little jab etc

[JPThunder01]

lol exactly, just kick him in the leg or something

[Yapostadodat]

Do NOT touch Eric Robert's PONYTAIL! EVER!!!!!

[krnxpridex]

lmfao sorry chuck norris just did

[Silks]

"Yeeeah!" *high five* lol cheddar cheese.

I still quote the, "I'm going to kick your ass," to this day though.

[RAZlaad]

For You Travis!

[tapper7724]

that guy looks like jackie chan the korean fighter

[vertigo502]

this was really cool- the best movies were in the 80s. it was also the real decade of the rated R-

[JCVDfan4life]

it was PG-13, the sequel was R

[vertigo502]

well, i was talking about the decade (80s) when rated R meant something- nowadays, the internet has no rating.

[JCVDfan4life]

Yeah i know what you mean now i wasn't born in the 80s im 1991 but i do class the 80s as the best for action films and that, i loved all the cheesy Stallone and Schwarzenegger films.

[clustro]

yeah

lol bro the sequel was on a few nights ago

my friend and I watched it

it was pretty bad o_O

[tapper7724]

great 80s flick

[pureluck101]

Eatttttt.... sleepppp .... And shitttt Competition

[NinjaMagic411]

This movie was a TKD commercial. A good one though because it actually talked about team spirit and commitment which is lacking these days.

[allroundmma1]

lol movie about taek won do and theres not much of that real good ol won do at all

[maverickslb80]

I love this movie!!!!!!!

[coskunkan]

[darrencard]
