One of my favorites

I was just the right age when this came out to really enjoy it. Watching it again loses some of the wonder but none of the fun.

A brilliant mix of espionage and Karate Kid with the master / pupil relationship played for both laughs and oriental mystique, this is a film to kick back to and simply enjoy.

The Eighties were the decade for action comedies and this was one of the best (It was nominated for an Oscar, for goodness sakes)- watching it now brings back lots of great memories.

Always liked Fred Ward - he's the actor Chuck Norris should have been here - and he and the others make this a winner.

Fun movie and one that deserves a remake.
