Storyline
After being humiliated in the ring by a dirty kickboxer who pulled down his shorts and then hit him, a martial arts master decides to travel to China and enter a monastery where he may learn the Shaolin form of fighting. The film then veers into "Karate Kid" territory where the novice humiliates himself at every turn, is tolerated as a foreigner, and still comes out a champion. The monastery teaches non-violence, but everyone knows that sooner or later the student will catch up with the bad guy. Written by John Sacksteder <jsackste@bellsouth.net>

Trivia
As the camera pans past the judges in the final Wu Shu tournament scene, we can see that the UK judge's name is Stillwell Wylde; a name made up of the surnames of the two main characters in No Retreat, No Surrender 1 & 2. See more »Goofs
During the first fight between Drew and Trevor, the crowd outside of the ring clearly disappears and reappears between shots. See more »Soundtracks

This was a great martial arts film. The action sequences are exciting and fast paced. The Shaolin training sequences was a highlight, especially when the new monks demonstrated with weapons. Reese Madigan was a bit annoying, but he still can prove he is a tough fighter on screen. I don't know how they did it, but they made non-martial artist Trent Bushy look great as the evil Trevor. A must-see for all fans of martial arts films.
