Phil H @P-Hubbs 3d This third entry marks the exit from the martial arts genre, and the entrance into the all-out action genre with guns ablazin'. Wise move? Well kinda, the martial arts genre in the early 90's was saturated, and there was far more quantity than quality that's for sure. I think this franchise had reached its peak with martial arts, the second movie rounded that off pretty well. So this movie delving into the Commando/Rambo genre is a smart move. The only problem is this franchise wasn't that big or successful in the first place, so the move feels empty; it didn't reenergize anything. Also, this type of flick was ten-a-penny back in the day too. Nonetheless, this is a better entry in the cheaper action genre.

Can't compare to the other 2. See more 04/10/2016 One of favorite martial arts movies... See more 03/23/2015 I suppose I should review these as well to get the series complete. These are the adventures of the traveling Tommy Lee/Philip Rhee, who is dedicated to being badass everywhere and all the time. The Neo Nazi Ku Klux Klan redneck skinhead racists fall completely flat. Maybe you could get away with these storylines in a very serious and well researched drama movie, but in the context of a dumb action movie it just seems forced and clichéd. The action is mostly shooting. There's plenty of it, but that's not what I watch a Best of the Best movie for. Mostly it just seems Philip Rhee was trying to build up his resume as an action star, and this was the only title under which they'd let him do it. This was also Philip's directional and writing debut. And as a movie making effort, it's really not that bad. But the story is the wrong blend of dumb and serious and it's simply not the movie I wanted to see under this title. Well, at least it's not just white guys saving the black guys from other white guys, I guess it's a start for anti-racism movies that an Asian character gets to kick everybody's asses. All in all a low point in the franchise. Not badly made, not dull enough to shut off halfway through, but not exactly the best of the best. See more 04/19/2013 This wasn't a bad mid 90's direct to video action sequel. I have seen far worse than this but have seen alot better also. I think Phillip Rhee deserved a better career than he ended up having. Gina Gershon is sexy as always. Chris Mcdonald (That Guy aka.Shooter McGavin) and Dee Wallace (ET's Mom) show up for a paycheck and that's it. The whole racism murder mystery thing kinda threw me off when I watched this back in 1996. I soon got past that and really enjoyed this movie for what it was,decent low budget direct to video action movie. This would go nicely in a 4 pack with the other 3 Best of the best films.
