No Retreat No Surrender - Shitcase Cinema review

[@nwo1234life]

Bruce Lee's Ghost was played by Kim Tai-chung, who played Bruce in Game of Death.

[@takayasu2009]

Never knew.

[@CMC-lr7kq]

There's only 15 minutes of actual footage of Bruce lee in Game Of Death. Shame, because if you read the original script [not the finalised one, the one written by Bruce himself] had the potential to be better than Enter The Dragon.

[@Pimsleurable]

The Tom Moments are trademarked (TM).

[@philipcohen6133]

I'll drop some brief knowledge... The guy who plays Bruce lee had played his stunt double in films. There are actually multiple prints of this movie with different openings, music, and songs. The international name for the movie is karate tiger. Also the movie has the best montage scene ever. Great work guys. NJ USA . Please do the garbage pail kids!!

[@Fluoride_Jones]

You have the power to make me want to see movies that I know are pure shit. That, sir, is a talent!

[@TheAmateurEditor]

05:37 he calls him 'sensei Lee'... Sensei is a Japanese term of respect. Anyone fan of martial arts would know to refer to Bruce with the term 'sifu'.

[@JohnMcGurrell]

Watched this many times while I was growing up, a firm fave with me. Got to love it. Tom is a acting legend!

[@r4h4al]

One of my favourite films of all time.

[@SuperTJK1992]

Tom needs to be in Expendables 3.

[@zeejay-junejo]

My gosh 80s martial art movies were so filled with lethal weapon type of duos. No retreat no surrender, american ninja series, samurai cop and pretty much every hollywood ninja movie.

[@howiecolin]

"Arsehole!" Kick to the face! Lol great review

[@morzansreddragon]

Great Review, I love it how you John gives us reviews of forgotten films and imediately recognise their quality for what they really are. XD

[@NeoSef]

Oh man I remember this film! Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

[@clownprince88]

The scary thing is, the Us version is a bit more ponderous and serious but of course just as cheesefastic . Awesome review for one of the best accidental genius creations ever made

[@jamesfowler7403]

I agree with your rating. It's easily the best worst film I've ever watched in my life. I've watched it 3 times now and it just gets better worse. True entertainment.

[@Kopp203]

You missed the best part. In the final fight, when Jason intervenes while Van Dammage is pulling Kelly's hair like a bargain basement mean girl, Ivan/Van Damme says, "So, eet is yuu, da son, is eet not?" and Jason's epic reply is, "Yeah, but this time it will be different, RUSSIAN!!!". For some reason that still eludes me to this day, Ivan goes absolutely batshit at being called a russian, despite that fact that he is, in fact, a russian. Not a patriot then I'm guessing.

[@takayasu2009]

My favourite Van Damme film is BLOODSPORT. And, I like "No Retreat No Surrender II: Raging Thunder" better than Part I.

[@Greasyheels]

JASON! JASON! JASON!

[@tehvenom]

At 8:43 That's EXACTLY how I was laughing the entire time!

[@EwanMakeMovies]

In my youtube subscription list it don't update when you do,,,

[@BarrackObamarama]

Love it. Absolutely great as usual and another film for me to watch! Great review!

[@SupComKoni]

A new Shitcase, my day just got a little bit brighter! Another great review keep it up mates!

[@herbertsherbert2142]

When i was a kid in the 80s and 90s i absolutely loved tbis film. I watched it again a couple of times in recent years and now i laugh my way through the whole films. It's absolutely terrible but it has good, unintentional comedy value.

[@col9039]

I prefer the uk version to this version

[@nwo1234life]

He's also the guy who 'played' Bruce in Game of Death 1 and briefly in the sequel.

[@NoRulesFilmSchool]

Ironically, RG does a lot of retreating and a lot of surrendering. Also, his dad has to be Frank from Samurai Cop, right? Let's make that a thing

[@aaronbradley3232]

Yo this is freaking hilarious this deserves a lot more views. I can't believe I watched this movie so much when I was a kid I was looking for Cinema wins guys video but still this is excellent it's completely hilarious

[@mengutimur]

No Retreat No Surrender is the apex of Western Civilization.

[@wildguy8989]

I actually had this movie on VHS growing up. I enjoyed it for what it was. but even then it I knew it was a bit cheesy. One of the things that you point out that i did not realize at the time was how stereo typical the black friend was.

[@TrueRiderFan]

Ah, bad acting and hammy acting always make my day brighter.

[@rhydermike]

Is that the car from National Lampoon's Vacation @5:54 ? The training sequences look like they are hinting at a gay love story element to the film, Top Gun style.

[@VampiresCrypt]

This movie is pure awesome, it has the fake Bruce Lee, check. It has cheesy catchy 80ties music, check. It has freakin Van Damme as the bad dude, check. It has tons of clichees, check. Overall 10/10 :D

[@kftc88]

Thanks for the pause warning. I'm glad I took that big breath, I still nearly fell off of my chair when the fake Bruce Lee showed up

[@giancarlonurko3476]

One person retreated and surrendered...

[@Thunda1986]

Better character development than Rey

[@Doperwtje81]

So according to IMDB Bruce's ghost was a Korean TaeKwonDo expert called Tai Chung Kim who died in 2011.

[@TheKandikane15]

You rule Johnny Shitcase!!!!!

[@mattTd7]

I’m Van Damme I’m Van Damme I’m Van Damme I’m Van Damme POOSH!! IM VAN DAMME IM VAN DAMME IM VAN DAMME

[@zacmoore2853]

There actually is a sequel (in name only) called No Retreat No Surrender 2: Raging Thunder starring the great Loren Avedon. It's not quite as bad as the first but its close.

[@MrSleepy677]

Although it has Cynthia Rothrock.

[@SevereRepugnance]

I fucking love this show, keep up the great work man!

[@TheRaveMusicArchive]

I need to watch this film.

[@Decembirth]

I started crying.

[@thejabberwalker]

Legend

[@sirlisterofsmeg333]

Sweet 720 quality! Very nice shitcase!

[@kftc88]

Having been a kid in the area during this movies' release, seeing the Sherman Oaks karate studio is hilarious. Kinda loses its badass flavor when one of your chubby fellow 8 year-olds went there.

[@SuperCuttyBlackSow]

best reviewer ever

[@PowerThirteen]

He's not fat, he's...um...festively plump.

[@breach_meidith]

JASON!!!

[@SuperTJK1992]

With RJ and Jason making cameos.

[@TheLastEmporer999]

10:05 whats that belt on the wall from?

[@TheLastEmporer999]

What movie is that from?

[@tkhushrenada]

I wanted to see Bruce as the ghost of Zardoz in red speedos and a bandolier. Maybe next review ¬.¬

[@jonaheboji9745]

awesome review man

[@sfighter991]

Awesome episode, I remember watching an "Obscurus Lupa" review on this one. I think that kid who worships Bruce Lee should see a Psychiatrist, anybody who finds Bruce Lee's grave and calls him Sensie reallt has issues. lol

[@jwbaccaro]

I love this movie, and you made me piss my pants with laughter !!! :D

[@kftc88]

Wow, most Sherman Oaks karate studios at the time were in strip malls next to Nail Salons and Check Cashing places. Not exactly worth multiple toughs to muscle renters out

[@jiujitsu77]

bruce lee's ghost was the dude that played bruce in most of game of death. he died about a year ago.

[@murasakiahiru]

Great review makes me want to go and watch it.

[@JohnMcGurrell]

Please please please review The Last Dragon!

[@MrRagingMammoth]

Oh you have cut the intro... But YAY 720p.

[@rnsteh]

Epic!

[@callumdillon5343]

hi shitcase you should do a review of no retreat no surrender 2 and 3

[@TroyBurdittTV]

Best review in a while soooo funny

[@dsconce1]

I just watched this, and the version I watched was missing several scenes!

[@phantomhurricane666]

you can actually train your body to withstand hard impact.

[@bink]

Just putting this out there... "JASON!!!" should be the new "SUSAN!!!"

[@sgtmattkind]

Grim Weekend

[@serbinator8529]

this is the European version the US version is much much better, it's cut out lots of the silly scenes and the music is amazing! so glad I saw the US version first as a kid

[@TheGodParticle]

Are you sure that when you say, much better?

[@serbinator8529]

+TheGodParticle I think so, and a lot of the bad acting was edited out

[@FIXTREME]

SERBINATOR 85 did the US version feature "Hold on to the Vision" in any part ofthe soundtrack?

[@serbinator8529]

***** just in the European version. I prefer .."stand on your own"

[@wickedshyn]

This movie looks amazing.

[@UnCreativeDeconstructionism]

DONT DO THAT! *NO!!!!* Lmao 6:00

[@Stckmand]

epic moves around 10:30 he he he he !!!!

[@Spectans1]

I always lose it, when our Big Boy calls Van Damme russian:DDD

[@Helpertin]

whats this "I'm Van Damme" thing from?

[@bink]

Helpertin It's a Shitcase Cinema original... watch Johnny's review of Hard Target for the complete song!

[@rafaeltrivino1790]

SUSAN!!!!!!

[@Thunda1986]

well that plant was on another wall sooooooooooooooo

[@Jeffrey314159]

1:03 I notice that the US flag is backwards

[@jasonvoorhees4473]

keep up the good shit my boys in the brit.

[@jovo3dsmax]

[@geirtwo]

The Bruce lee impersonator is also in Game of death 2. A realy "great" movie you should review

[@NickLMears]

[@MouseThatsModest]

[@MarlonBrando414]

[@ladyyuna2000]

No comment at 10:30-10:34

[@cwbellor]

I'm Van Damme!

[@vicchavez6570]

He was one belt away from black.

[@secondghost]

Ive seen this movie....*sigh*

[@HannaFreckleberry123]

You should seriously do a review of Carrie by Stephen king :)

[@NefariousKnights]

We need more movies like this not the sissy stuff hollyweird is cranking out!

[@harlequin75]

Always bet on black, Tom.

[@rawedg]

The kid playing Jason is actually Brandon lee, Bruce lee's real life son.

[@shadowman2192]

Your joking right?

[@cwbellor]

+rawedg No it's not. His name is Kurt McKinney.

[@aaronbradley3232]

I mean I couldn't stop laughing through the entire thing except for you're extremely corny nonsense with you know you walking in on your boyfriend in the shower with the he should have a shower cap and then at least I would have got a little giggle yo that part was corny but your review is hilarious I didn't stop laughing the entire review

[@hakjob9847]

where looking for her. !!!SUSAN!!!

[@alexgarcia9070]

Where the fuck is SUSAN!

[@cwbellor]

There IS a sequel. It's even worse than the first.

[@xSTATOKEx]

You guys are WWE fans, I never knew. Wish you would review some crap WWE PPVs.
