| NOVEMBER FOYEURISM: NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER |
[Nov. 18th, 2011|03:34 am] |
The wait is over. The Foyeurism finally returns with a very special edition I've been vowing to write for years, a joyous Foyeurism devoted to one of my all-time favorite films: NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER - the greatest of all of the KARATE KID rip-offs. A bullied teen trained by the ghost of Bruce Lee must stand tall if he's going to save everyone from the New York mafia as they employ the services of a kickboxing Commie played by Jean-Claude Van Damme (in his first American movie role) in their quest to take control of every karate dojo on the west coast. It is one of the most immensely entertaining slices of cinematic schlock to come out of the 1980's - from the music to the fashions to the plot being a kooky mishmash of KARATE KID sensibilities and ROCKY IV jingoism - that has been allowed to go criminally overlooked for far too long. There will be no negativity in this month's Foyeurism. This is all about a film I truly love. When life gives me lemons, NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER is my lemonade.
