FANATASTIC!...Looking forward to Best of the Best 5......!
Rhee has outdone himself with this one...the series just keeps on getting better. This film has everything; fast-paced action, drama, comedy...I especially enjoyed the martial arts scenes; there was even an arness scene, and I really love that style. Unlike the previous 3 films, there was no reference to them, maybe so that even those who had not seen them would enjoy. But, even a small reference would have been nice. The budget must have been extremely high, seemed like no expense was spared. I'm already looking forward to Best of the Best 5, and anything else Rhee signs!
"All I wanted to do was to bake a cake!"
To date, "Best of the Best: Without Warning" is the last film Phillip Rhee has directed or performed in. Given his level of talent, this is disappointing, and even more so for the fact that this film ends the Best of the Best franchise on a relatively low note. It's still an okay action outing that's even better by DTV standards, but it lacks both the emotional content and the martial ingenuity of its predecessors. As a somewhat generic standalone adventure with no ties to the prequels besides its main character, "Without Warning" is the only real throwaway addition to an otherwise above-average franchise.
The story: martial arts instructor Tommy Lee (Rhee) finds himself pulled into a deadly money-printing scheme by the Russian mafia when he unknowingly acquires an essential data disc, putting both himself and his young daughter in danger.
Villains Tobin Bell...
worth the rental fee.
i've seen and own best of the best 1 through 3 and would have liked to have seen some reference in this movie that linked it to the others. especially some background on the events that led to Tommy Lee becoming a father and moving back to LA. however, the action was not lacking in this movie and phillip rhee's martial arts skill was very entertaining to watch.
