| User ReviewPrivate UOk, so, first of all, this movie stars Short Round, you know, from Indiana Jones. (For some reason he insists on being called "Johnathon Ke Quan" in the credits of films.) This alone should be enough to get you to watch the movie. Some may say that the plot in this movie is shallow, but, obviously, they are not looking for the deeper mysteries in the movie. Like, why does David's beard keep disappearing and reappearing, sometimes within the same fight? What is the point of all the phone books and bricks? Wouldn't those bricks just permanently destroy their legs? Why does David look like Tony Hawk? Seriously, though, watch this movie. It has Short Round. |
| User ReviewJerry Lit's so bad that it's horribly amazing |
| User ReviewPhilip Mthis only has to be the best movie.....ever!! LOL. you gotta love the acting in this movie! a lot of the fight scenes in this flick leave you in awe. LOL! just watch it! If you want to borrow my copy, just ask.... nothing beats Walmart $1 DVDs !!! if you love midgets fighting and ball kicking fight scenes, this is the movie for you |
| User ReviewCara Bamazing, all around. who knew film could be this profound? such talent, out of this world action sequences, mind blowing writing... forget about citizen kane... this is the one... |
| User ReviewIan CThis flick blew my mind it is unreal. The Moore brothers return home from Nam with all limbs intact and an orphaned Vietbanese boy (they name him Charlie hahaha) , who grows up to be Data from The Goonies. It is worth watching for seeing Chong Li from Bloodsport in drag, plus the part where the Mammy's boy henchman breaks down is one of the funniest things, I have ever seen. The soundtrack is immense and Jerry Trimble's tan makes David Dickinson look like an Albino. |

| User ReviewAZ DAn absolute cinematic trainwreck/masterpiece. Not only is Breathing Fire underrated, but it might just be THE best so-bad-it's-good movie ever produced. Eat your heart out Troll 2! |
| User ReviewMichael Sit has the asian kid from the Goonies and from Indiana Jones and the Temple of doom, and he knows how to kick ass Tae Kwon Do style, i was impressed. |
| User ReviewThomas FGood bad martial arts flick, only movie I know to feature Bolo Yeung in a dress. Non-stop fight scenes keep the awful acting to a minimal. Hilarious final scene at a kids martial arts tournament, where two teens beat each other nearly to death! |
