Summary: A good try from Rhee and Co.
Review: "Best of the Best 3" is clearly not the most outstanding installment in the series. Although it was a good try to stray from the classical plot of martial arts competition (as seen in "Best of the Best 1&2"), it just didn't do it for me as it's first 2 predecessors. To see Rhee and Co at their best, the first two movies are a must. Alexander Grady was sorely missed in this movie.

Summary: A movie ain't worth a ...., unless it's 'Best of the Best'
Review: Best of Best (1) is a great film. The backdrop of the matrial arts tournament versus Korea sets the stage for valuable life lessons on team integrity and team dynamics. The competitive fights are technically and coreographically mediocre, but the wins and losses are all the more heartfelt because of the way we've grown along with the characters. It has a touching 'surprise' ending as well. And it has James Earl "Darth Vader" Jones as the hard nosed coached. What more do you want? I'll tell you what, when you see Eric Roberts cry, you will give up the ghost.

Summary: Best of the Best is just that.
Review: Best of the Best (1) is one of those movies that critics will rip and tear at until their faces turn blue...and yet it's up to its fourth installment. The audience has spoken, and for good reason. A unique "fighter" in its depth of characterization and heart as well as fists and feet, BOTB set a precedent for itself as a movie chock full of emotion as well as fury. Despite all the bloodshed and brutal, well-executed martial arts, Eric Roberts' performance shedding tears drew the heartstrings of all but the most callous of viewers. Between his sterling performance and the blurred acrobatics of Phillip Rhee, BOTB puts any funky, self-centered VanDamme or Segal movie to shame. It focuses on the whole rather than the parts. The team versus the individual. These are disciplines instilled in all credible schools of martial arts. To work in unity of all that is around you and not cull one's skill from one's ego. It is a Hollywood formula broken, and that may be, in part, why news of its subsequent releases has been limited to word of mouth or a fortuitous trip to the video store. BOTB. For a great fist-pounder with a cohesive story, it doesn't get it any better than this.

Summary: Solid entertainment
Review: I am glad Best of the Best released on DVD. Even though it is only the 3rd and 4th of the series. The third one is about Tommy Lee (Phillip Rhee) fights a group of neo-nazi. Best of the Best 4, Tommy is up against Russian mafia who involved in counterfeit. Both movies are quite good for this martial arts action genre. YOu got 2 movies for slightly higher price of a single DVD so it is quite a deal. The picture quality is OK (full screen only) and no 5.1 Dolby Digital, just Dolby 2.0 which is not too bad either. I wish Best of the BEst 1 & 2 will be released soon on DVD. Best of the Best 2 is available on DVD in Canada. For those who can't wait you can find these put up on auctions by Canadians in ebay. I have not received my copy yet so I can't comment on the quality of the DVD.

Summary: The best of the Best of the Best series
Review: I thought that this third installment was the best of the series because of its story. The action is pretty consistent with the first two movies only now its all Phillip Rhee which is great! Gina Gershon also does a nice job as the female lead. Overall, its a good martial arts movie.

Summary: My Kind Of Movie!
Review: I would like to say, I like this movie! I have always been the All-American type guy who likes the excitement of a good revenge film. This one is a dandy! The actors bring the characters to life and the beauty of the landscape where it was filmed is nice. Not only did i enjoy watching the film, but i was in it playing the part of a trucker in the diner scene and a neo-nazi at the stone quarry scene. I must say it was a joy working with Director/Star Phillip Rhee, the cast and crew. They were a top notch act. If you get a chance to rent or buy this movie, do so. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: One of the BEST action flicks Ever--highly underrated
Review: I'm a big movie buff, and Best of the Best is vastly underrated. If you've read a review and the review trashed it, don't panic. Maltin hates it, but I'm very picky and can't stand cheapo B action movies. This one isn't just a notch above... it's one of the best action flicks ever made. Best of the Best II is your standard big-fight action flick, unfortunately. Still, it's okay to burn an afternoon watching it.
