Best end ever

Nah... its to cliché...

I totally agree with all of you! It's my favourite movie too. But there's one thing that bothers me; they mix-up karate and Taekwon-do (they mention both). What they compete in is called WTF, World Taekwon-do Federation, (ITF = International Taekwon-do Federation is the original Taekwon-do) and as a martial artist myself it bothers me to hear them say Karate (in the movie, I mean) cause I practise Taekwon-do. Just had to mention that. But it's still the BEST MOVIE WITH THE BEST END EVER!!!

... I don't wanna be offensive (or off topic), but you can't be serious? It's a movie about personal and spiritual growth, about winners and losers, discipline... all the crap christianity threatens you with hell if you don't do. How the HELL does calling this movie cool make a person sinful?


Anyway, onto the greateness of the movie... I watched this because a friend mentioned it I think at the start of High School, so I'd be about 12 or 13, thereabouts. I taped it off TV, Bravo channel, 11.30 or so at night, lol. I still have the tape, put it that way - it's been about 6 or 8 years :p I taped BOTB 2 after it, but since the tape is so old I just had to get the DVD..

Ever since then, the ending has made me cry, EVERY TIME, and I'm not ashamed of that. I've got a real soft spot for honour in movies. I love the ending to this movie... I don't consider it cliche at all, I suppose it could be a little predictable, since it's only a 12 rated movie, I think, and that Tommy is the good guy, I suppose you could rightfully figure "Nah, he won't kill the guy." *shrug* Hell, this movie blows me away, and it's what got me into Taekwondo :-)

Any fellow fans out there who wanna chat about what other movies you love, I'd love to, gotta meet new people somewhere with similar interests :)

"I disagree with whatever statement you made in your last email entitled "Best and ever." Though I have not seen this movie, nor have I read your post pertaining to it, I'm positive that what you've written is wrong. And sinful. And onorous in the eyes of The Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ is the Best of the Best. And none other. Blessed be his name.

Also, Christ is the Best And Ever.


Amen."

The thread is "best END ever," not best AND ever. Best AND ever makes no sense. Also, I don't recall seeing any karate tournaments on ESPN 2 featuring Jesus of Nazareth defending his title.

we are talking about a movie if you want to go talk about christ go to a bible sermon.

Dude, have you been watching Saved?

He was talking about a MOVIE. Go back to capalert and jerk off at the red-light ratings that are given to G-rated flicks.

Hamburgers! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast!

Ill be honest, I was centimeters away from crying at the end of this movie, especially when Dae Han is making his speech to Jason.


"Somebody drop this fool"

Wonderful film, most critics panned it & didn't give it enough credit, but it's very good. The ending is one of the best of all movies I've seen, ranks in my top three probably.

I taped this off a movie channel 3-4 weeks ago, then, last night, at 3:15 am, Best of the Best II came on, so I taped that also, not as good as the first but it keeps you interested most of the time. Sonny Landham's character James plays a pretty good drunk, the scenes with him are pretty funny! Until the bad guys get him. :(


Eric Roberts really seems to be overacting all through the movie, he's extremely emotional throughout the film, but I think he did a pretty great job. That scene where they pop his shoulder back makes me cringe, ugh. But he still manages to win, or at least score more points, pretty cool.

But the ending....that's the best part of the movie. But the freeze shot at the very end...it shows Alex, Tommy, that women trainer, and some other unknown guy, heh heh.

This is my signature, nice eh?
