Synopsis
An unorthodox coach and a trainer work together to teach a competition team of kickboxers that winning is not just a sometime thing and that a team is not a team if you don't care about one another.
THIS IS THE ONE

my title says it all.
If you only ever buy one Martial arts film make da## sure it's this one.
A lot of Martial arts films are a joke and do nothing to promote a particular art or the students. Impossible leaps into trees or from walls etc we have all seen them.
This film is however believable. Believable in that proper techniques are employed.
As a Karateka and also having in the past studied and graded in both Judo and aikido. I was grateful for a film that showed Martial Arts in a good light.
Here we have a group, brought together to compete against Korea.
They are trained hard and moulded into the American karate team.
I enjoyed watching both the training and the fight scenes.
The story is good with good characters.
I have watched this film numerous times and still enjoy it.
I think it will appeal to both Martial artists and action movie fans.
Go get the film.

This film is a "must" see for all martial arts fans. See Team USA train hard and fast to compete against Team Korea for the ultimate prize. Although it is mainly about the combat, the film has a very good story line which will pull at anyones heart strings.
GREAT ENDING

The martial arts scenes are very good but i just felt the bulk of the film was a bit laboured.
Well acted and filmed - deffinately worth a watch
It's a good movie

Although i think that the second movie is the better one out of the two, this movie is still very good to watch. its not boring, there are some very special scenes in it, like the korea team training in the waterfall- and of course the ending fights are very well choreographed. i think both movies are very different and if you have to pick the saturday nite film, it would be BOTB 2. this film however, is a lot more down to earth and more realistic and its always very emotional to watch the last scene of the film. enjoy! its a bit of a class one this.

These films are fantastic. There's no technology surrounding them they are just pure martial arts at they're very best!
A question for the world out there. I have both of these films and enjoy the music from them alot but are unable to find the official soundtracks anywhere. If there is anyone out there who knows where i can get a copy of these from i'd be much obligied (in english cd format).
I have found that BOTB 2 is the hardest one to find.
Thankyou.
