Description:

Ryo Sakazaki and Bob Garcia are a mismatched pair of friends; Bob is the heir to a fortune and dresses in white suits; Ryo wears ratty workout clothes and runs a karate dojo. Their friendship is based on a shared love for the martial arts, their devil-may-care attitudes, and Bob's affection for Ryo's sister, Yuri. While pursuing a lost cat, Ryo and Bob stumble onto a mob hit and get caught up in a high-stakes game of cops and robbers. Both the cops and the robbers think the rakish pair has found the stolen diamond, the fabulous Eye of Sirius. Mob boss Mr. Big--who looks like a bejeweled Jessie Ventura--kidnaps Yuri; manic police lieutenant Todo (a screaming incompetent) tries to arrest the pair. Bob and Ryo have to find the gem to save Yuri--and themselves. A predictable series of martial arts battles, car chases, helicopter attacks, and explosions ensues, with Bob and Ryo flashing thumbs up when they come out on top. The animated-by-the-numbers tone of Art of Fighting will appeal only to fans of the video game it's based on. Unrated; violence is unsuitable for all children. --Charles Solomon
