Although he was the villain in this movie, people actually went to see it for Van Damme! The leading hero was prepubescent and had no muscles! It was hard to believe he actually knew martial arts. The truth is that unless you're Jet-Li, you need muscles and a very flexible groin to look good on screen when it comes to martial arts movies. Watching Van Damme do his patented aerial kicks in this movie as a bad guy is a classic experience that shouldn't be missed!! (Both, Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren have played bad guys under the name Ivan! Go fig huh?)
