"Best of the Best" - So bad it's good or so bad it's AWESOME!? | Movie Review by The Bluff Council

It was 1989 and the vibes were IMMACULATE. Five American renegades must travel to South Korea to face their opponents AND their demons, and learn to be a team along the way. It's filled with 1980s needle-drop moments, sweet training montages, and the special kind of scenery-chewing overacting that should guarantee Eric Roberts never has to pay for a meal again in his life. It is INCREDIBLE. It is AWFUL. It is... "Best of the Best."
