Storyline
Young Jason Stillwell (Kurt McKinney) moves with his parents to Seattle, where local bullies harass them without mercy. Jason's father Tom (Tim Baker) does not believe in violence, so the family takes it on the chin. One day Jason enrolls in a martial arts class and quietly rises in rank to be a major contender. His mettle is tested in an international match against Ivan, a Russian champion.

The karate blows sound good but never seem to make contact. But then nothing else makes contact either. The advice from this corner: Retreat.

A deliciously bad reworking of The Karate Kid, with just a touch of Rocky IV tossed in.
30
Amateurish clunker whose martial-arts action footage is almost as laughably dismal as its acting.
30
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.
