The Great Challenge (DVD)


The Great Challenge

The Great Challenge could have been much better film if it had a decent plot and script. The actual storyline was too simple and it lacked the complexity to make it a good action film.

Although there are only a handful of action scenes, they were staged very well and were quite exciting to watch. The opening sequence was one of my favorites along with a scene that takes place among bamboo scaffolds. Many of their moves are reminiscent of Jackie Chan’s stunts, and I think that if these actors were given a chance in a better movie, they would fair well with their overall abilities.

Although the action was great, the dialogue was very cheesy. I can’t really explain it, but it reminded me quite a bit of the dialogue between the the power rangers and their enemies. It was pretty corny.

Although I thought that the action was decent, I just can’t recommend it as a movie to view. If there is anything remotely more interesting the next time you rent a DVD, I’d advise that you skip this film altogether.

The sequel to the popular 2001 French production YAMASAKI is set in the mean streets of Bangkok, where our seven heroes have traveled in order to teach their techniques to a younger generation. They encounter resistance, however, in the form of a Japanese yakuza family and their Thai associates who are attempting to take over the city.

  2. Haven’t been to your site in sometime. Nice layout. Can’t say that this movie came out in the US. It sounds like it would have sucked bad if it did make the big screen here. Thanks for the warning. LOL
