Enter the Jason.
Although Jean-Claude Van Damme’s image takes prominence on the cover of the DVD (front and back), the Belgian martial arts star only shows up briefly at the very beginning of the film, and for the entertaining finalé; the real ‘star’ of No Retreat, No Surrender is the lesser known Kurt McKinney, who plays young, headstrong karate student Jason, who, with a little help from break-dancer RJ (J.W. Fails) and Bruce Lee’s ghost (Tai Chung Kim), helps defeat the New York gangsters who have been seizing control of the country’s dojos for use as fronts for their criminal activities.

While the lack of Van Damage in the majority of the film could be off-putting for some, anyone who enjoys a large dollop of 80s cheeze should definitely stay on board…

Directed by Cory Yuen, No Retreat, No Surrender only proves mildly satisfying as a martial arts movie, with just a few unmemorable fights between Jason and local bullies before his inevitable showdown with hired heavy Ivan Kraschinsky (Van Damme). However, when the feet and fists aren’t flying, the film is side-splittingly funny, with lousy performances (McKinney is much better at kicking than acting), a dumb plot (clearly inspired by The Karate Kid), ridiculous characters, the silly supernatural element, and hilarious 80s music and fashion unintentionally making this a lot more enjoyable than it really has any right to be.

The film’s dumbest, and therefore most entertaining moments include a hilarious nightclub scene that sees RJ busting some moves in full Michael Jackson regalia, and the unforgettable sight of Jason training with RJ perched on his lap (their friendship clearly being taken to the next level).

One of the greatest 80s-movies ever, with a terrific soundtrack!
“No Retreat, No Surrender” is one of the greatest films I’ve ever seen. It’s surely not very demanding or high-grade, but that doesn’t really matter at all. It gives you such a great feeling of the 80s with all the typical clothes, sayings and especially the fantastic music. I like the story of the underdog becoming the winner. The film tells in a very simple way to never give up. It also has a pretty funny side. It is the only film known by me, with two different soundtracks. The US-version is different to the European one. I like the last one more, with the great song “Hold on to the vision” by Kevin Chalfant. It was unfortunately never available on CD or in any other way. Together with the great 80s-movies “BMX Bandits” and “Stand by me” this film is one of the most important movies of my childhood and also youth. When I saw “No Retreat, No Surrender” (“Karate Tiger” in Germany) for the first time, it was the reason for me to join a Karate Dojo for 4 years! I think that’s it… this movie rocks!!! 80s 4ever!
