Hi all, i'm new here and just flicked through the movies and forum topics here..

I too am looking for the title of a particular 80's movie. Problem is I have extremely little information about it..
Here's a challenge for the hardcore buffs:

I know it's about a American guy (teen) who has a gym in his parents' garage which includes punching bags and a wooden 'fighting tree'. He is also a huge bruce lee fan and has posters of him hanging in the garage.

He's in a fight with his dad who disagrees (?) with him or some choice he made and at one point rips the Bruce Lee poster of the wall, seriously making the hero grieve.

I don't remember much about the plot: I suspect it's a kind of Karate Kid clone; namely a lonely kid with a passion and i'm sure it includes a pretty girl as well.

Anyone titles spring to mind?? It's not 'Last Dragon' btw.
[Smile]

thanks

Hi there.I think the film you are looking for is 'No reteat,No surrender.
Sounds pretty much like the same synopsis.
Also one of Jean-Claude-Van-Damme's first films.
Hope this helps.
