Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

A Masterpiece!

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This was the first Chuck Norris movie I ever saw and it hooked me to his career. This light hearted movie is perfect for people of all ages and can be seen again and again. It really stresses the important values of martial arts training and the stereotypes surrounding them when comparing Lee's (Mako) and Stone's techniques. This is a great family movie and one that I have recommended to family and friends for over a decade. The cast for this movie could not have been chosen better if Aaron and Chuck had tried. In many ways the actors are able to pull the viewers back in time to when they were in high school and remember what it was like. You can relate to these characters which only makes this film better. Again I would recommend this movie to anyone five and up.

They need to bring this movie out on DVD soon. i really want to get it but i cant and it upsets me. its my favorite movie and i cant even watch it anymore. it is a funny movie and i really like it a lot. Jonathan did a fantastic job in this and we need to keep Jonathan alive by watching his movies and remember him the way that he'd want to be remembered. all these fans out here can help keep him alive with seaquest coming out finally and now they have to put sidekicks back out and putting some of his TV shows or movies made for TV out on DVD. lets all help keep him alive. Who's With me on this. if we all are in on this we can help keep him alive we all just need to work together so who's willing to do that? Just post something here and we'll work together on keeping him alive.

Barry, (Jonathan Brandis) an asthmatic daydreaming loser who wants to learn karate to protect himself from the school beating (just like his fantasy man, Chuck Norris), that he in all likelihood brings upon himself by being an unlikable spaz. Chuck's brother Aaron, is a horrible director and this film made want to curl up in a fetal position and just cry for inflicting my eyes with this horrid excuse for a movie. The great Mako is wasted here and can ANYone tell me why Joe Piscopo keeps getting jobs when everything he does is horrible?? this film is among the crappiest movies I've ever seen and they should just burn any existing copies. I wouldn't be surprised if this and "Ladybugs" in all likelihood contributed to the main actor's suicide.My Grade: F

I just got done watching this movie on Television with my 2 children a boy who is 5 and a girl who is 7, and feel it is a wonderful family movie. My children asked if we could buy it. I remembered watching this movie when it first came out. I was about 17 at the time, and I liked it then too. It is similar to Karate Kid, but I enjoy the twist of the kid daydreaming and overcoming is asthma. This movie sends a wonderful message to children: it shows them that having an illness doesn't mean they can't be "normal", it also teaches them how to gain control of their anger and channel it into something good, and like the Karate kid it shows that being a bully never pays off. Furthermore, it shows kids that it's "normal" to daydream and don't let others tease you and push you around because you are different; all it takes is a little hard work and determination and you can find something you are good at.
