I'm pretty interested about Yasuaki Kurata's karate styleđ
I still love this movie! The term Karate was used to market Taekwondo schools back in the 80s because Karate was often misused by the Americans as an umbrella term for all East Asian martial arts besides Kung Fu.
I remember my school's Grandmaster having "Korean Karate" on the sign outside even though it was a huge no-no to refer to what we were doing as Karate. I had never heard of TKD until I saw it mentioned in a little book about Karate with different arts listed.
The weird thing about America is that they also use English names for techniques which means a round house or turn kick will be the same for TKD or karate, while practitioners of these styles might throw these differently. Also, internationally, these terms are confusing. For example, I, for the longest time thought a roundhouse kick was a backward turn kick. If everyone simply used the actual Korean names, it would be much clearer.
Calling taekwondo _"karate"_ has been around since the late 1950s. When Jhoon Rhee began teaching in Texas in 1959 he referred to what he was teaching as "karate". Those that came from his lineage continued using karate even after Rhee relocated to Washington DC and began using the term taekwondo.
So true but when i walked into the TKD school and said id like to learn Karate the grandmaster said "thats great I think there is a Karate school down the street but we teach Tae Kwon Do here."

After finishing with this, you should consider reacting to Jeff speakman. The perfect weapon. He's an American kenpo practitioner. It's a really great martial art movie.
Trivia time!!! The guy who played Virgil in The Best of The Best also played Jeff Speakman's brother in The Perfect Weapon!! RIP he passed a few years ago... :-(
I second this! Perfect Weapon is a classic and Jeff Speakman was a badass. Why we didnât see a lot more from him, Iâll never know.
Touched By An Angel.... Supposedly he was addicted to Ritalin and other Meth pharmaceuticals according to his cousin
Phillip rhee is amazing, I wish he had more opportunities in the movie business.
I should mention two things, his brother is amazing as well, Simon rhee, Played the bad guy. who better to trust than your own brother. It's all choreographed but it's well done. Your specific comments about training is very well done. Stance, speed, but more so fluid is very clear. I greatly appreciate it. Brothers in real life, sorry I didn't mention that.
@@chrisl4451 It might be my faulty memory as a kid, but I seriously thought the bad guy was from Korea. Simon must be a pretty good actor... Btw, as a stunt coordinator, he remained really active in the industry. Way more than Philip.
@@djoetma I was referring to in front of and behind the camera. Both have had long careers. Both brothers very kind and giving. It's a wonderful thing to know.
@@chrisl4451 Yeah, he did the whole movie. I saw that Philip did something again a couple of years ago. But we don't know why he isn't working in the movie industry. Could be that he simply pursuit other ventures and developed other interests. Or maybe his way of making movies isn't of this time anymore. I mean, making a movie became massively more expensive than it was back in the day. Even if you could make a movie, it also needs to be brought to market and viewed by enough people.
And especially in this time and day where most people watch the big blockbusters and very few other movies, it's not a great career path. And of course there is competition of people who do the same things and who have the right contacts at the movies studios.
He and his brother trained a friend of mine. I could've seen him as Liu Kang
One of my favorite movies. Phillip Rhee, the good Tae Kwon Do guy, is the son of Jhoon Rhee. The person playing the lead Korean fighter is his brother in real life.
no philip rhee and simon rhee are not the children of Jhoon rhee
Nice was waiting for this, I like your martial arts reviews.
6:12 there is a reason for his stance, it get explained later in the movie.
Fun fact: Simon Rhee (Dae Han, captain of the Korean team) did the Cobra Kai choreography.
The Formula was a specific "package" of the Firebird that came with very specific wheels, engine parts, interior, and trim. The firebird was made by Pontiac.
The Camaro made by Chevy in that era, which was a very similar car, had the IROC-Z package.
Also a trim level/package for the Pontiac Fiero in its last year. But this was definitely a Firebird in the movie
Glad you are finally going to review Best of the Best!!! This has always been one of my favorite martial arts movies ever since I was 8 years old! There are so many lessons that can be learned from this film, just like in real martial arts. Hopefully you'll point them out in your video and compare to how those lessons are in Karate. Can't wait to watch your review, Sensei!
I love this movie. Just remember to watch this as entertainment, not as an actual representation of TKD in the real world. You should try and get a interview with the star Phillip Rhee,
It's not a bad representation to ITF International Taekwondo Federation Taekwondo. Especially for back then before the WTF or World Taekwondo Federation got popular. WTF is what is used in the Olympics and is strictly for sport.
Yusuke, I think their use of Karate in this movie is somewhat of an umbrella term. They seem to have a focus on Taekwondo but other styles are also represented. For example one of the American fighters has some kind of Kickboxing background.
Exactly. "Karate" had been popular in the US for a couple of decades already, so it was used as a general term, kind of like going to China and saying "Kung Fu" even though there are really so many different styles.
Phillip Rhee holds a 7th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, 3rd degrees in Hap Ki Do and Kendo. The other actors were trained for the movie.
"Best of the best", one of my favorites as a kid. "Kickboxer" is one you might enjoy for 80s American martial arts movies
Thank you for doing this. Karate will always be one of my first loves, as well as cheesy 80s & 90s action movies.
This is a great movie for when it came out. I've watched it more than a few times!!
Phillip Rhee and Simon Rhee, sons of the great JHoon Rhee. Long time Tae Kwan Do family and their father created a line of sparring pads and equipment. But I follow Phillip on Instagram, great guy and still in the sport
Beat me to it, so I'll just add a bit. Jhoon Rhee goes back to the days of President Nixon and is almost solely responsible for enacting a fitness and wellness agenda with the White House that led to the explosion of Tae Kwon Do here in the states.
no they are not, philip and simon are no relations to jhoon. jhoon has several children a daughter Meme, a daughter Joanne, and two sons Jimmy and Chun
Eric Roberts, who played Alex is a black belt in Taekwondo. Chris Penn, who played Travis held a black belt in Yoshukai Karate and also trained under Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. Phillip Rhee, who played Tommy and his brother Simon Rhee, who played Dae Han Park are both black belts in TaeKwonDo and HapKiDo.
Benny the Jet one of my favorites
Growing up in the 80's when we went t a Karate tournament it was an umbrella term for martial art. I took a few different styles due to logistics and interests changes anyway whenever I would compete we just called at Karate meet.
I'm SO glad Yusuke is doing this movie! It was one of my favorite martial arts movies when it came out! I've watched it dozens of times. I'm excited for Yusuke's take on this!
Omg Iâve been hoping for this video!!!!
As you seem to enjoy these types of movies, I will give you one that is a little "off beat" from the normal ones.
I fully enjoyed watching an actor (and kung-fu practitioner) doing capoeira (which I found out later he did study for a while).
That movie is "Only the Strong" with Mark Dacascos.
Thatâs a great movie! Definitely one of the biggest exposures of capoeira to the West at the time.
I am enjoying your reaction videos. You may enjoy âBig Trouble in Little Chinaâ. Classic 80âs martial arts movie.
That is one of my favorite movies of all time.
One of my favorite martial arts movies ever. Such a great choice. I'm stoked
Love your breakdowns. Very informative. This movie really pulled on my heart strings.
Great choice for a review. I think the term Karate was used mainly due to the success of The Karate Kid so for a while a lot of martial arts movies used the term karate because it was the cool thing at the time.
Great movie nonetheless. Would love to see more of your reactions to Jean Claude Van Damme.
Someone else requested you also do a reaction of The Last Dragon (1985). Iâd also love to see how you react to it.
Nice reaction. I loved this film growing up. I done Goju Ryu for 2 years (12-14) and reached purple belt. I haven't done martial arts since, but something in my sole has been singing for my to restart.
Thank you for taking our recommendation! Can't wait to see your reaction to the tournament.
The cars at the beginning are Pontiac Firebirds âFormulaâ is a trim/performance package.
Also from my experience here in the US we tend to generalize most Martial Arts into the term âKarateâ
The guy who plays Alex's friend at the automotive plant is Eddie Bunker. He was a career criminal before becoming an actor. He was also good friends with Danny Trejo another Hollywood actor. Also the guy who fights them at the bar is played by Kane Hodder. He started out as a stuntman in Hollywood and has become an actor in recent years.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.
Happy you chose to react to this awesome film! One of my favorite martial arts movies! đ„đđŒ
Wait until the tournament begins. The end teaches a valuable lesson but very hard for some to grasp but i won't spoil it. Looking forward to seeing your reaction to the end of it.
Karate is used as an umbrella term in a lot of smericsn movies. Could be tang soo do, tae kwon do, etc, doesnât matter they all often just get called karate.
You're so right about cars. I lived in Tokyo from 2005-2007, and even then I didn't need a car at all. Public transport was all I needed.
Balance is everyting! , Thank you
Looking forward to this one.
Was anyone else confused by the sequel just making Tommy Lee American Indian?
I mean, he's clearly Asian of some kind, but in part two he's just Native.
4:45 in USA, if not just fists-up boxing--going to punch, then it is called karate.-Ernie Moore Jr.
Ok, just since you asked, that cars in the factory that were being built were the 82-92 model of the Trans Am/ Firebird. Probably best known from the TV series Knight Rider. My second car was a used 88 Trans Am GTA I got in 2004. Typical muscle car for the time, not really fast, but looked great. lol
The "Formula" was one of the levels of trim in the cars, standard, Formula, and GTA. It would change not the body kit and interior but the engine as well between a V6 and a V8.
I can't believe I'm on here talking about cars on a Martial Arts movie review. lol
But related to the block that you were talking about during the opening sequence, remember that they were practicing forms, and even in Karate many motions are exaggerated when performing the Kata. So that block would never actually be practiced that way for practical use, only during forms. I started practicing ITF Taekwondo in 1993 and even though I blew my knee out about 15 years ago, I still practice when I am able. It's a great Art for speed and strength.
One last thing. Especially back in the 80's and early 90's you will see Karate used as a much more general term for Martial Arts in the US because Karate had been popular for a couple of decades at that point and was well known, so Taekwondo, Tangsoodo, and other similar Martial Arts were often put under that umbrella term. Kind of like going to China and virtually all Chinese Martial Arts are are considered "Kung Fu" even though there are so many different styles.
Hello from the USA (NJ) but a fun fact here... the lady who plays Alex Grady's mom is Louise Fletcher and she became very famous for playing "evil" Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which earned her an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award and a Golden Globe Award. (CoStared Jack Nicholson). Movie in 1975.
In the 1970s and 80s, Karate was a general term for Taekwondo. Many schools back the marketed themselves as "Korean Karate." Tommy and Daehan are brothers in real life and are active Grandmasters who still teach Taekwondo in the Los Angeles area.
Finally. They say that some of the best Taekwondo ever represented in a movie is in this movie. One really great movie over all.
Except for Ho Sik Pak everyone of the Korean and Korean-American actors were high ranking taekwondo stylist. Pak is a Tang Soo Do stylist.
Karate was used a general term for martial arts in the 80âs and 90âs. I took Aikido and Taekwondo in the 90âs and all of my friends said that I took Karate.
James Lew is also a martial artist, he was the character that fought Alex, James Lew is also in the Perfect Weapon and other movies as an extra, background character
This trip down memory lane reminded me of another American Martial Arts movie, I remembered it had two warring gangs but I had to look up the name. 'Street Soldiers,' from 1991. It has Hwang Jang Lee in a guest role. He was a Kung Fu superstar from the 70s and 80s. It's been uploaded to YT so I was watching it again. If you like Bets of the Best you might like it too.
The king of leg combatđ
That was a Pontiac Firebird Formula being built on the assembly line in the opening. The bikes here have two types of brakes, hand brake which you are familiar with and coaster break. The coaster break is built into the rear hub where pressing the pedals backwards would engage a brake. This is mostly something on kids bikes when they are leaning because they can keep a firm grip on the handle bars and not have to release their fingers to press the brake lever.
Really enjoyed the review and looking forward to seeing your comments on the end tournament fight. You must review Best of the Best 2 as the end fight with Brakus who's a bodybuilder is epic.
Watched this movie growing up. That ,,seeking peace'' thing is pretty much an invention, as far as it being something new. All people have it in their culture one way or another, without it being the goal or even the means to an end. You discover that is is a necessary part of life:are either told to and you apply it, or find out by trial and error that that is a requirement for you to succeed, having inner peace. And it is not just social-cultural:work ethics, respect for your roots and for the elderly,etc but also religious, like through confession and prayer. But sure, not all people have it in the same proportion, or place the same emphasis on it, the japanese people certainly excel at it, as opposed to europeans or americans.
Answering about the car in the beginning of the movie. Its a General Motors facility, they are building Pontiac Firebird Trans Ams. Formula was one of the sub models of the Trans Am. Late 80âs would have been the 3rd generation of the Firebird Trans Am, GM F Body.
The guy that plays the Korean coach is TKD master Hee il Cho, the guy that plays as Tommy is TKD master Phillip Rhee and his brother Simon is also a TKD master and teacher and he is Day Han the one with the eye patch, Iâve seen videos online where some of the Cobra Kai cast train with Simon Rhee, Simon has been in other martial arts movies as an extra, supporting actor, bad guy, choreography or stunt man, I think Simon and Phillip also do Tang Soo Do, kickboxing and Hapkido, Phillip and Simon have the same last name as TKD master Jhoon Rhee but I donât think theyâre related, Jhoon Rhee is considered the father of American Taekwondo when he brought TKD to the U.S. in the 50âs and 60âs, but heâs not the one that started ATA (American Taekwondo Association) that was started in the U.S. in the late 60âs by TKD master Haeng Ung Lee, Iâve seen videos of some schools that call themselves Rhee Taekwondo but I donât know if theyâre the teaching or style of Jhoon Rhee or of Phillip and Simon Rhee, I think thereâs only one other TKD movie, an older Asian movie called When Taekwondo Strikes staring Jhoon Rhee, I donât know if thereâs other movies or shows that do, show or focus on TKD or have TKD in the movie title besides these two, I donât know what TKD Simon, Phillip or Jhoon Rhee or Hee il Cho did, if it was ITF, WTF, or ATA, I think Hee il Cho also did Hapkido
Kicking the floor is a very interesting definition of power transfer for the reverse punch.
In the States, back then, karate was used as an umbrella term. For whatever reason, âkarateâ encompassed all martial arts. Itâs, since, changed a bit and the other martial arts are recognized.
The âFormulaâ car was a Pontiac Firebird. Pontiacâs arenât made anymore.
Both Phillip and Simon Rhee (Dae Han and Tommy) are brothers and Tae Kwon Do masters who do a lot of choreography in Hollywood. They are true experts.
When you were talking about balance it was the reverse for me when I started training karate in Japan it was so hard to focus while doing karate. Awesome vid as always
I love this flick! I still have it on dvd and VHS! Haha
In America in the 80s karate was a umbrella term for most martial arts. Korean arts were advertised as "karate" also alot of places were combining Korean styles and Japanese styles and creating "American karate" so alot of tournaments were open to these different styles and still are. Traditional karate has their own competition circuits
Great word on power transferring
Was hoping you would do this one. When are in SoCal you can visit the studio where this was filmed.
Tradition is what makes martial skill an âartâ but martial arts is about effectiveness. Thereâs room for both.
The Korean guy is Phillip Rhee. His family basically brought TKD to the US. Jhoon Rhee is his father. Phillip is very good.
I am so happy you saw my comment and going to do this review and reaction. I can't wait!!!
It was also my comment. Other movies to review are no retreat no surrender 1&2, King of Kickboxer, Showdown and Blood Brothers.
Phillip Rhee the actor who plays Tommy also wrote the screenplay for Best of the Best.
Rhee's 1980 representation of the United States' Taekwondo Team against the South Korean team in the championships of the Asia Games formed the basis of his screenplay for Best of the Best.
They all had different martial arts styles, it was more a Freestyle thing, but under the Taekwondo rules, and against a Taekwondo team. I loved this movie as a kid, still love it
I'm glad you are reacting to this one. This was probably one of the best martial arts movies of that time. In large part because some of the ideas were legitimate even if they were over dramatized for the movie. Also, the end fights feature several real life high quality martial artists doing the stunts and fight scenes. Not to mention it was just fun. Hope you enjoyed.
Yes! Glad someone has gotten into this movie. Philip Rhee out Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do, & Muay Tai.
Yes, in the US, Karate is often used to describe all Asian martial arts. Also, because of the Blood Sport movies, we thought "kumite" meant no holds barred fight to the death. Lol
Love this movie. As well as your reviews. I hope you will also seriously consider reviewing, "No Retreat, No Surrender starring Kurt McKinny"! You absolutely MUST also review "Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon starring Taimak", "Big Trouble in Little China starring Kurt Russell", "Fist of the North Star starring Gary Daniels", "Road House" starring Patrick Swazye, and Blind Fury starring Rutger Hauer. Not 100% Karate based. But all are wonderfully fun and entertaining classic martial arts films I guarantee you will love!!!
I subscribed, you are amazing
Really nice to see you watch this classic and bring in the Karate comparison and analysis. The Korean Taekwondo fighter is a master with his own dojo (his brother is also a master) and their father was well known in South Korea as well.
I think you'll enjoy the tournament fights. This was one of the really high-quality Hollywood martial arts movies of the 80s (in trends of on-screen technique).
The characters Tommy Lee and Dae Han are brothers in real life! Both of them are experts in Taekwondo and Hapkido.
I never get tired of watching this movie.
I remember when Taekwondo was starting to catch on here in Southern California a lot of the practitioners came from a Karate background. So seeing a mix of styles at this time would be acurate.
Those cars on the assembly line are Pontiac Firebirds.
The Formula was the model that had all the high performance options but with a basic trim (interior etc) so it was cheaper than the top of the line GTA model.
Grew up with a Karate background and when I joined the Marines I also joined a TKD club on base taught by a senior Chief in the Navy rec center Norfolk VA, Wind and Sea Taekwondo. I remember one fellow student there who was actually fairly senior in the Navy. Telling me I reminded him of the "Cowboy dude" in the movie. I always thought that was weird because I was from NJ and didn't look anything like Chris Penn. Now I think it's because my previous Kumite experience was more rough and tumble with lots of body contact. Anyway I eventually watched the movie on deployment and really enjoyed it. A step above a lot of the schlock flooding the action movie market.
Which styles did you combine as a Marine? Could you please tell?
One my favorites in Childhood. Later I Found out Simon (Dae Han) and Philip Rhee (Tommy) are brothers in real life what better chemistry to make a fight scene look so bad assđ€©
Most bicycles in the US also use hand operated brakes. It is only a specific type of bike that uses the pedals to brake.
I'm sure other had suggested this movie but I feel special because I also requested it, and he's reviewing so soon after Bloodsport!
Philip Rhee and the person who plays Dae Han are brothers in real life. They are long-time practitioners of Taekwondo..... Philip Rhee is the choreographer and trainer for the Cobra Kai series
Coaster brakes are seldomly used these days on bmx bikes as gyro/rotor brakes allows for spinning the handlebars unimpeded by the brake cables.
Brakes depend on the type of bicycle. Most american bikes don't back brake, they have handbrakes like you are used to.
I had this movie on vhs at home. All the friends who came to my house I put them to watch. I think I saw it like 50 times. hahaha Nostalgic. I like your videos. Oss
As some of the other comments have said karate was a catch all term for martial arts that weren't kung fu in the 80's. Rhee taekwondo is a very popular style in Australia.
James Earl Jones is so good
ITF, there is hip motion to generate power. Also tilting the hips helps with speeding the kick up.
Oh this was childhood for loved the first 2 of these
The company is General Motors, and their building Pontiac Firebirds and Trans Ams.
BMX bikes have the reverse pedal feature. Mountain bikes, racing bikes, etc still require the hand brake.
Eric Roberts used to be well known. In the beginning, his words, Julia was Eric Robert's sister. Now Eric is Julia Robert's brother... Going to watch this movie. Never had before...
Some bikes do brake pedaling backwards, some have the brakes on the handle bars for the front and back tire, some have only a brake for the back tire or front, some have both on the handle bars and the pedals, some donât have breaks
Also as you said, yes in the US, Karate is often used as an umbrella term to refer to Martial Arts.
Favorite martial arts movie. Part 2 is awesome as well
What a coincidence hehe.. I was thinking about your reaction for this movie few days ago, and when I saw this, I was really surprised!! yaay!!!
I would like to see your reaction for IP Man 2008... especially for Karate style of General Sanpo
Regards!
I tried to scan through the as many as the comments before I post to see if I would be repeating anything.
Best of The Best shows a bit of both types of Tae Kwon Do/Taekwondo/TKD. Starting with the dobok or dogi in Karate. In the first scene with Philip Rhee in the dojang. His dobak is the type that is worn by practitioners of WTF TKD. Their sang/the top part jacket is a V-neck one-piece. those who practice the ITF styles where the traditional karate dogi uniform. This is the main difference in dobak between the ITF & the WTF, though there are ITF schools where practitioners wear WTF-style dobaks.
Another difference in the sang is when it comes to black belt rank. As with Philip Rhee when he wore his dobak, you see the collar down the V-neck is black. Only black belt ranks where a sang of that type in WTF TKD; under 1st dan black belt, the collar is white as shown with all of the students in the class. In ITF, it's a little different. On the collar and trim of an ITF black belt sang, you may not see it being black-colored for a black belt. The sang itself can be black to signify a black belt. This also interesting because Tang Soo Do practitioners wear their dobaks in a similar way. Their belt colors for all ranks are colored on their dobak's sang trim, which a Tang Soo DO dobak is also like the traditional karate dogi.
The school in the first Philip Rhee scene. Philip Rhee was an actual instructor at that school in real-life. The TKD school is Jun Chong TKD. Chong is a ITF TKD grandmaster. It's not strange and is very typical that ITF & WTF instructors teach at one of the other styles' school. I started off as an ITF Chung Do Kwan TKD practitioner for most of my early years of studying the martial arts. I then started training at a WTF TKD school due to ITF school I had been training, my instructor retired. One of my university classmates who is a Chung Do Kwan black belt was an assistant instructor at the WTF dojang when I started there. I don't know know if Philip and his brother Simon's TKD lineage is traditional ITF (as the ITF styles are considered traditional TKD) or if their lineage is WTF TKD. I had never read anything thing over the years where they have talked about it.
The coach of the Korean TKD team's coach is Grandmaster Hee Ill Cho. It is safe to say that that Best of The Best is an ITF TKD film, though it shows I'm sure a combination of ITF & WTF TKD knowledge. I guess ITF TKD had much better, as far as the United States goes because the instructors of TKD that were more known when TKD came to the states were all ITF practitioners. But when it comes to Olympic TKD, it's WTF TKD that made the big time.
Being into cars in the US has nothing to do with simple transportation. It is about far more than that. It is a culture unto itself. It is about having the freedom to go anywhere at any time you want. It is about having a mechanical expression of yourself. It is about the mastery of technology, engineering, and style. And it is about just having fun. Cars allow you to just go. Drive a mountain road, cruise the road downtown, go off road into the wilderness, or push the limits of capability climbing rock walls and boulders, or at the track trying to set the best lap records. Or park at a local meet-up and discuss cars with other like-minded people..
Single speed bikes have the brake in the rear wheel. Multi-speed bikes have external calipers. My first bike was a Schwinn Stingray, then later I bought a Fuji.
Great choice. You will be highly suprised at the end of the moving. The movie has one of the best ending I have ever seen in an American Martial Arts Production
Formula was a package for the Pontiac firebird. Bigger engine tuned suspension . So this was a GM plant . GM discontinued the Pontiac brand in 2009 .
What you said about TKD marketing hit it on the head. 30ish years ago me and friends wanted to go Karate but the only schools were TKD... 30 years on I still can't remember last karate school I saw, seen dozens of TKD and a few Jujitsu. I live in one of the more remote areas of the UK too
I remember as a kid I wanted to take Karate because of MA movies and tv shows but I ended up taking TKD. Ironically this is probably more accurate to what I wanted as many movies featured martial arts based on Korean styles even if the story said it was Karate. Probably because all that kicking looks good in fight scenes ^_^
Yes!!! đđ»đđ»đđ»đđ»đđ»đđ» love this movie This is the movie that got me into martial arts đ„
This reaction is the best one so far, thank you so much!!
I would love to see you interview Philip Rhee and Simon Rhee, the brothers. Eric Roberts, Julia Robertsâ brother, would be a good interview as well. Itâs too bad Chris Penn already passed away.
One of my childhood favs
I study shotokan and used to do tang soo do. One of the main differences in technique i notice like u said shotokan emphasizes hip movement. In tsd they dont use hip turn instead they change stance. They will block in kibadachi stance or back stance and turn into forward stance for the gyaku zuki
