Franck Dux, un champion américain de karaté, n'a qu'une obsession : remporter le Kumite, un tournoi clandestin d'arts martiaux organisé à Hong Kong, une rencontre où tous les coups sont permis, y compris les coups mortels !

Un film a regarder entre pote un samedi soir avec des bières ou simplement par nostalgie de notre premier Van Damme.

Et d'autres sidekicks de choix dont Bruce stalion, bien connu sur le site pour "Clash of the ninja"

In Menahem’s defense, I saw the first cut—we all the saw first cut—and it was really bad. But Menahem had an in-house fixer named Michael J. Duthie, a really good editor, and he basically re-worked the movie. Then Jean-Claude came in and worked with Michael on the fight scenes, re-working those. And Jean-Claude’s got a really good sense of how a fight scene should be edited. He’s a real talent when it comes to that. So he re-cut the fights, Michael restructured the movie and when we saw the next cut (which was quite a while later), the movie really worked. It worked great. In fact, we all went out to celebrate. Jean-Claude, Michel Qissi and we were all predicting how much money the movie was going to make.

His word for Jean-Claude was “poison.” He kept saying, “Jean-Claude is poison!” Poison! “This guy’s never gonna make it,” Menahem said. “He’s a loser. he’s a terrible actor. I want to make this movie, but I want you to make this movie with a real movie star and that’s Michael Dudikoff.” I remember him saying, “Michael Dudikoff is a movie star! Jean-Claude is poison!!”
