1.0 out of 5 stars This film is a classic......This dvd is NOT!!!, 19 Nov 2007

By	M. D. Long "mart" (Hants, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I grew up watching all the martial arts classics and 'No Retreat' is one of my favourit fighting flicks of the 80s, so when it eventually came to dvd I was pretty excited..... until I watched it. As soon as the menu screen came up with a new version of the classic theme song 'Stand On Your Own', a bad feeling in my stomach began to grow, and it only got worst. The entire film had been totally rescored with really, really bad music. And worst still, painfully awful, originally cut scenes had been added, and other parts of the film were missing, I found myself repeating "what have they done...what have they done". Ruined it, big time, that's what they've done. I'm sorry to say that as much as I love this classic, which is a lot (even though it tries to bring Bruce back from the dead), I only lasted about thirty-five minutes before cursing, removing the dvd disc, and listing it for sale on amazon as quickly as I possibly could. Then, I searched amazon for the original vhs version and bought a copy faster than you could say boo! And then proceeded to watch it as it was meant to be seen and heard! Brilliant! Honestly, I have no idea how so many people haven't noticed the seriously massive differences between this new and very poor dvd version (bad!), and the original classic vhs version (good!). If you've still got a vcr machine and you really like this film then my advice is buy the vid, it's so much better. The only thing I did like about the this whole dvd saga, is that it gave me an excuse to rediscovered the brilliance that is.... 'NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love, 17 May 2005

By	Ben (Coventry, UK) - See all my reviews

I loved this film, excellent martial arts film, I was quite surprised considering the age of it. I bought this DVD due to the fact I'm a huge Van Damme film, but he's barely in it. If you're a martial arts film fan then I recommend this but if you're wanting it for Van Damme don't bother, DVD cover is false advertising as he's in it for about 10 maybe 20 minutes in the whole film.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Retreat, No Surrender, 12 Jul 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: No Retreat, No Surrender [VHS] [1985] (VHS Tape)

This is a good martial arts film about a Bruce Lee fan who studies Karate under his father
One day he sees his father get beaten by gang member Ivan The Russian(Jean-Claude Van Damme) whos gang want the dojo (school).
The boy learns Jeet Kune Do from Bruce Lee's Spirit and fights Jean-Claude Van Damme in a Martial Arts tornament.
An Excellent Martial Arts Film!
