In 1989 who would have guessed that this low budget martial arts flick would not only inspire four sequels and countless knockoffs but also help make its Belgian born lead become one of Earth’s most celebrated action superstars? This is the Muscles from Brussels in his Cannon Films era prime, oiled down & totally ripped, ready to exact retribution on the brutal fighter that paralyzed his brother (legendary world kickboxing champion Dennis Alexio). And the only way to take on the Thai killer and become the Bak Shung (The White Warrior) is IN THE RING. Cue spectacular training montages, fierce fighting footage, inspirational music and all the good stuff. Yes, JCVD does his trademark splits and also squeezes in a dazzling dance scene!
