I LOVE this movie. Bad sequels take away from the original.

A half decent martial arts flick as a USA team take on a well trained Korean team. A bit slow to get going but the fights are pretty good towards the end. A kinda grown up karate kid.

A team is not a team if you don't give a damn about each other.
