This is stone city. Where many ancient warriors come. While you train here, listen!

It appears that Bolo Yeung (Bloodsport) wasn't enough of a challenge, so Jean-Claude Van Damme sets a match with Tong Po. Of course, he is there to avenge his brother. Hmmm, wasn't he avenging his parents in Double Impact? He is always avenging someone - I think it was another brother (he must have a lot) in Lionheart.

The movie is really a yawn unless you have a thing for an hour of looking at Van Damme's rippling muscles on a perfectly formed body shiny with oil.

The ring action is so short and predictable that it is a real letdown. I mean, you absolutely knew the match would turn around once his brother appears, didn't you?
