Extreme Challenge (2001)

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

If you like sports but you hate people who do anything to win, I'd totally recommend this movie.I suppose that those who do not like to compete may not understand/like the story line but if you do, i'm sure you'll enjoy the movie more than you'd expect for this type of movies.Regarding the fights, they're quite good as well and you've got a mix of one to one or group fights, with or without weapons, etcI specially liked the last written sentence of the film! :)If you've got the chance just get it and enjoy.I'm still wondering if the other person who's written that the story line is really had has ever played a sport!

This Golden Harvest production is set in the near future when internet fighting is the world's favorite sport (even surpassing soccer!). Anyway, a group of people get together and beat each other up on a very intricate obstacle course. Two of the competitors are former pupils of the same master. Oooooohhhh, there's gonna be some drama. The film is 80% fighting and the fights are good. Or I should say entertaining in a comic book way. They are sped up a tiny bit and the director uses lots of freeze frames, swipes and quick pans so you never stick on one fight/shot for too long. The other 20% of the film is spent on some amazingly funny dialogue. I watched the dubbed US release but you can tell the English speaking actors really delivered their lines. This is acting that makes Jean Claude Van Damme look like a Elia Kazan protégé. Still, combined with the fast action and professional look, this c-grade acting combines well to make a entertaining 90 minutes.

I heard many stories about this film being great... Well, I took my chance when I saw it for a cheap price at Ebay last month.I watched it, and I have only a few comments about it:1) Terrible story-line, 2) Terrible acting, 3) Bad fighting-scenes...I never seen any worse movie in my life so far!! When the storyline is bad, than at least make the fights something more interesting. But BOTH are done ridiculously bad...* The only positive thing about this movie (in my opinion) is Nikki Berwick. God, she looks nice in this movie.That's about it...

I taught this one was going to be horrible but I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, the story and acting are bad. But you have Stephen Tung Wai directing this, so the action sequences must be quite good. That is what saved the movie for me. You have 9 fight sequences, 2 group fights and 7 one-on-one bouts! Definitely not a classic but worth a rent in my opinion...........................7,9/10
