Reviews

The New York Times - Unnamed
The karate blows sound good but never seem to make contact. But then nothing else makes contact either. The advice from this corner: Retreat.
40
TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
A deliciously bad reworking of The Karate Kid, with just a touch of Rocky IV tossed in.
30
Los Angeles Times - Unnamed
Amateurish clunker whose martial-arts action footage is almost as laughably dismal as its acting.
30
Time Out - Unnamed
No Retreat, No Surrender borrows heavily from the likes of The Last Dragon, Karate Kid and even Rocky IV, but makes them look like masterpieces by comparison.
