Episode 29: No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)

Join hosts Dominic Lawton & Ken B Wild as they body pop and corner splits their way through Corey Yuen's 1986 film - NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER.

The boys discuss Jean-Claude Van Damme as the Russian antagonist, how similar to The Karate Kid this film is and the cameo by Bruce Lee's ghost! Meanwhile, Dom questions the training techniques used by our hero, Jason whilst Ken rages about his favourite character - the disco dancing RJ!

The film pitch this week sees the BMC giving us a karate tournament for the ages! When the owner of Wow! What A Dojo needs to pay off a substantial tax bill to keep his place of business open, he has to go all in on not just his own abilities but trust in a haphazard group of martial artists he recruits to give him a chance of success. What he doesnt count on is the team over at high-end Cocky Dojo to enter the tournament as well! Its Scott Adkins vs Michael Jai White one last time...and that time is...QUARTER TO DEATH! Cast includes Jean-Claude Van Damme, Ruby Rose, Rampage Jackson, Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell and Carl Weathers as Sheriff Carl Weathers!
