The Martial Arts Kid

This film is very entertaining. It is a story that many people will relate to, not just martial arts fans.

I've been a fan of Don "The Dragon" Wilson and Cynthia Rothrock for a long time and when I heard about this film, I was quite excited. They were perfectly cast as Glen and Cindy, a couple who take in troubled nephew Robbie and soon become his mentors in the martial arts when he is bullied.

Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future Is The Martial Arts Kid a knockdown, drag-out fight flick in which Don "The Dragon" Wilson and Cynthia Rothrock lay waste to gang bangers and drug dealers? Nope.

THE MARTIAL ARTS KID is a film Produced, and acted by real martial artists. In fact there are more Champions, Grandmasters and Masters in this film than any ever made.

This movie was bad even at made for TV standards. The acting is atrocious, the story line predictable and every single character lacks substance.

The film demonstrates how, through the study of the martial arts, a child, young adult, man or woman can learn valuable life lessons which translate into a more fulfilling and successful life outside of the Dojo. "It's not just about the fighting" is a recurring theme in the story and while it is definitely the self defense skills which tip the scales in our "hero's" favor in the last act, throughout the film he learns about family values, honor, respect, and the true value of becoming A MARTIAL ARTIST!

Awful acting, rip-off story of Karate Kid, poor direction. Your eyes and ears will burn from the crappiness of this "film" Give it a HUGE skip.

These types of movies always make me wonder. First of all you go in to these no names with low expectations so that's a good safe guard.

Wow, all you really need to sell this movie is to say Don the Dragon Wilson and Cynthia Rothrock star in it, but the move is so much more than a film about great martial artists fighting. There are some exciting fight scenes in it and they play into the message of Anti-Bullying which is the main theme of the movie.
