Great fight scene between Philip Rhee and Simon Rhee

The ending was so great when Dae Han approaches Tommy and he says, "to save a life in defeat is to earn victory and honor within, your brother too was a great fighter and I deeply regret your loss and I offer myself as your brother".

When Dae Han approached Tommy and he says, "to save a life in defeat is to earn victory and honor within, your brother too was a great fighter and I deeply regret your loss and I offer myself as your brother" meant he was truly remorseful for his actions against Tommy and his family all those years earlier. Tommy hugging and forgiving him released all the anger that they both were and had been experiencing for years.

what makes it sad is dae han was hoping tommy would finish him off. he had no way of defending himself, he was just standing up because he knew what he did to tommy's brother was wrong and was hoping tommy would get revenge, such was dae han's guilt.

One of, if not THE greatest and most underrated karate films of the 80s/90s. I used to compete in full contact on the European circuits (Shotokan and Tae Kwon Do) and this film is pretty representative of ‘proper’ full contact karate at the time. unfortunately, it’s a lot different now, with the ‘contact’ not being so much and a lot more restrictions in place

I did taekowndo on and off for about 10 yrs and not all the kicks may be useful in real fight but I love watching and doing that double front and back kick that daehan did at 1:40.

Shame it didn't show the ending where the Korean team put their medals over the Americans heads in acknowledgement that their win was only technical and Tommy could've won it if he'd been willing to really damage Dae Han. That was a pretty original ending for an American martial arts film, which are very rarely, if ever about magnanimity. Even better is the bit where Dae Han walks up to Tommy and tells him that he grieves for the loss of Tommy's brother and offers himself as a surrogate. Real emotional stuff.

When Dae Han approached Tommy and he says, "to save a life in defeat is to earn victory and honor within, your brother too was a great fighter and I deeply regret your loss and I offer myself as your brother" meant he was truly remorseful for his actions against Tommy and his family all those years earlier. Tommy hugging and forgiving him released all the anger that they both were and had been experiencing for years.

Embracing someone who hurt you bad as a brother is not for everyone. The background score used in this film makes you cry !! Masterpiece film !!! whos with me?
Totally with you! Love the whole big emotional ending. Classic!
word up im crying now the Alex fight really got me and when Alex said tommy nooo! coach hes gonna kill em ...i can never hold back any tears
Facts!!!

@@buggeazy102 the acting in this scene is soo underrated. That exact line you wrote. There was so much emotion god this movie is great
What the Korean coach said has always stuck with me over the last decades. He said, "Hajubayahyuhysha". Never forgot that important advice.
Haha me neither
That 3 section kick by Tommy was fantastic!
The way it was shot was fantastic
“To save a life in defeat is to earn victory and honor with it…..I deeply regret your loss and offer myself, as your brother.” A line that always brings a tear or two
I am now 40 yrs old, but why do I still cry over this? I remember when we used to watch this as a whole family. My dad was really into kung fu movies. Damn! How time flies! I'm 40?! Holy shi+!
Shit I’m 39 haha I remembered that movie really well too
When bros just battle cause their bros, this is just my childhood. Man i love this. The youngsters will never know.
О
definitely
Finding out they were brothers was the martial arts movie equivalent of finding out Vader was Luke's father, blew my mind
Definitely my favorite scene of the movie. While all the other fights were ok, the techniques demonstrated by these two were amazing. 20 yrs. later, it still holds up.
Bro, fight scenes today are shit compared to this. This movie is the gold standard.
32 years later now still holds up Holla
@@nyg_dbone Amen 🙏
Those actors were the real deal
These guys are brothers in real life and black belts in taekwondo so that shit was real
And the award for “best male crier” goes to Eric Roberts. He channeled his inner 10 year old girl to bring those tears to life.
Best of the Best was Karate Kid for grown-ups, Dae Han gave us chills as kids in the 80s, all the times we fell flat on our asses trying to emulate the jumping side-kick-to-back-spin-kick he pulls in the beginning. When he joins the good guys fighting in BotB 2 it was like seeing Darth Vader joining the Rebels.
The flashback scene of Dae Han killing Tommy Lee's brother, the sad music in the background and Tommy Lee's intense, laser focused stare towards Dae Han gives me shivers every time. have this DVD still.
8:04 - “You won that match. Don’t ever forget that.”
That gave me chills! You don't see endings like this anymore in contemporary Hollywood action films
@@rvcklvss No u certainly dont. Everything is superficial now
Two kicking Masters were at work AND IT SHOWED. Still one of THE BEST EVER, fight scenes.
Oh man, I love this movie.
same
Same
Even though this part was a little emotional
I like the movie because it was great
Sane here
Damn man. So nostalgic. I used to cry even as a kid at this scene. I wish they would have put the part where dae han talks to him. Even as a grown man this scene still makes me tear up a little.
I am happy to see I am not the only one who gets hit in the feelz with this one.
As a kid this was one of the best movies I've ever seen it actually taught me alot about life
Ever since I watched this for the first time as a kid. Tommy Lee showing restraint like that alone makes him the real winner.
“Another low blow and the ref didn’t see it”…. He was standing right there!! That part has always made me laugh
The Rhee Brothers are Awesome! Great scene. Forever embedded in my memory. That part where Tommy wants to avenge his brother but didn't is still so emotional for me.
One of the few movies that showed what true martial arts is all about
That ax kick to Dae Han's right shoulder is just brutal. Gets me every time.
The way James Earl Jones can predict the Koreans move and counter with the ridge hand was magnificent but the emotion that Erick roberts shows combined with the crying and almost crying in EVERY single scene he’s in is unprecedented. I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Eric Roberts was pathetic, crying and yelling all the time, a horrible example of overacting, besides, guy has no clue about martial arts, let alone TKD. James Earl Jones is a fine actor, but no clue about martial arts neither, you can tell in almost every scene, should have prepared them better for their roles. Kudos to Philipp Rhee and the Koreans, bad ass performances.
The fact that Dae Han knew he didn't deserve the medal was enough to get me choked up....but his words to Tommy Lee combined with that damn sad music made my eyes downpour with tears.
such was dae han's guilt. he was hoping tommy would finish him off, get revenge for what he knew was such a horrible thing years ago.
One of, if not THE greatest and most underrated karate films of the 80s/90s. I used to compete in full contact on the European circuits (Shotokan and Tae Kwon Do) and this film is pretty representative of ‘proper’ full contact karate at the time. unfortunately, it’s a lot different now, with the ‘contact’ not being so much and a lot more restrictions in place
Such an underrated and overlooked film that doesn't get the appropriate appreciation it deserves... Such a beautiful display of martial arts in the literal "All American Underdog Story". Strong powerful meaningful Ending and all around amazing Film 🎥.
Dae han did the Superman punch before it was a thing he should be credited with that for real!
Loved this scene. You can really see how well the two "work" together. They both know how to receive each other's kicks with maximum effect ... they're brothers after all so their "feel" for one another is better.
One of the best fights scenes ever
If TKD was like this, this sport would be the most watched sport in olympics
Still my favourite martial arts film. I hold 3 black belts and always get so frustrated when I see a lot of martial art films and the technical side is always not quite right but this film is just so bang on the money. I watched it so many times and I never tire of this scene
my favourite martial arts film ever. very emotional and im very glad im not the only one who cried.i love the team camaraderie spirit and supporting one another. they start of with differences then become a family unit. love how tommy forgave dae han. great moment. JESUS WOULD BE PROUD! eric roberts also played a very good role as the loving father..... i cried at the hospital scene too! its a shame they dont make fils like they used to. anyone agree?
27 people missed the like button. This is one of the greatest fights in cinema history.
love how they avoided the typical "good guy wins the last match" ending.
good old days of 80's and 90's when you can see the whole body movement when actor does nice kicks. These days they zoom in so much that i don't know what the heck is going on and I can't really enjoy watching those beautiful kicks that may look easy but takes years to master. I did taekowndo on and off for about 10 yrs and not all the kicks may be useful in real fight but I love watching and doing that double front and back kick that daehan did at 1:40.
Poke out his other eye. Done.
this is one of my all-time favorite martial arts movies. The Rhees are some BAD BOYS!!! I love this movie!!
I love how the Rhee brothers are soo close, they know/love each other. Only way the epic fight scenes between them is possible at the end of the movie. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
In my opinion this may be the best taekwodo fight played on tv
I know Bruce Lee is the greatest, but this is the best fight scene ever. Simon and Phillip Rhee are amazing
I gotta give it up to these two brothers I my opinion they had the hardest roles of all no matter what they were able to complete this movie and still show that brotherly love for each other thank you Mr. Phillip and Mr. Simon Rhee
Shame it didn't show the ending where the Korean team put their medals over the Americans heads in acknowledgement that their win was only technical and Tommy could've won it if he'd been willing to really damage Dae Han. That was a pretty original ending for an American martial arts film, which are very rarely, if ever about magnanimity. Even better is the bit where Dae Han walks up to Tommy and tells him that he grieves for the loss of Tommy's brother and offers himself as a surrogate. Real emotional stuff.
What most westerners do not Understand, is that kind of spiritual brotherhood emotions are common amidst Martial artists.
@@robertzajkowski9570 Amen.
Dae Han never grieved once about killing Tommy's brother. He was smirking at Tommy most of the time. And a guy with a guilty conscience doesn't laugh as he illegally hits his opponent multiple times. The part of the movie where he apologizes was totally contrived & unrealistic. Dae Han was a cold-blooded bastard.
@@rocketraccoon1976 Have you ever seen a bully get put in his place?? It either changes the man or makes him more angry. As there is a yin and yang in everybody. Or in other terms a rude awakening.
@@rocketraccoon1976 I see what you’re saying. Maybe it would’ve been realistic if he was not fighting dirty and was totally serious instead of cocky
It's amazing that Tommy Lee would continue with the sport, after what happened to his brother. It would be really hard for me to do that.
philip rhee (tommy) has changed alot since the early 1990's! he's my dad's friend and he's a really friendly man in real life.
Yeah my dad told me the same.
It's just amazing how at 6:32 both the coach and Alex saw Tommy's power build up for whar would be a lethal blow...they could sense that a killing shot was what was about to happen.
The double kick that Dae Han did at 1:42 is something I've always wanted to accomplish. When I was actively training in my youth, I spent about 3 months steadily practising it, but unfortunately, my muscle memory never clicked and I couldn't perform that beautiful technique. And now that I have physical health issues, this kick will now just be a fantasy for me.
I can pull it off on a heavy bag...never attempted while sparring. My first kick is almost a push...while the second one holds all the mustard ;)
I could pull it off with Hwoarang and Baek in tekken.
The 3-hit kick that Tommy delivers at 5:00 is what amazes me. Is that something that is an actual kick technique or just hollywood BS?
All the kicks in this fight are doable
A blackbelt in taekwondo should be able to do them all
One of my favorite movies. The music in this scene is remarkable.
Man i cried at the end
Snap mate
Even though they are brothers in real life' it is very emotional at the end of them embracing each other as more then rivals but as brothers' that's one've the reason I love this movie!
When Darth Vader is on your side, you are with the winning team. I was surprised he advised him not to push through with the hit :D
This was the reason for me to start dooing taekwondo The sport, the atletick, the discipline, the friendships....
This is some of the best fight choreography ever. We all can respect that.
This was the SHIT back when I was like 6 or 7 😆 great to come back and be reminded of what got me and my brother so pumped up afterwards 😆
I still remember the speech Coach gave to the American team. Used to recite it with my bro back in the day. haha
Wracam tu co chwilę. To jest klasyka
To był film mojej młodości. Do tej pory wracam tutaj. Mam gdzieś cały film na VHS. Pozdrawiam
Wow, this brings back childhood memories... I remember the impact this made on me when I was 10 years old or something. Awesome.
Hell yea
Philip & Simon Rhee we’re beasts wish they made more movies together
Goosebumbs always when Tommy stops holding back and puts God Mode on. He is unstoppable after that.
Kedvenc filmeim egyike! Nagyon sokszor làttam!
the man who plays Dae Han is my tae kwon do teacher!
Amazing you still doing teakwondo? that film was got me into teakwondo and as teenager if yoir still in touch with that guy tell him thanks from KZhead x
I took taekwondo when I was 12 13 years old and made it to yellow belt
Is that true really?
It was such an honor to be told he won a match by Darth Vader...
Dae Han's signature "flying punch" and "double kick" Alexis's signature "ridge hand" They both did those techniques in Best of the Best 2👌🏽
And yes. A wonderful message of sportsmanship, class and dedication to ones art
Announcer: Why doesn't Tommy Lee just finish him Tommy Lee: Because if I hit him its gonna be the last headache he'll ever have. LOL
Golden age of Tae Kwon Do, now it's is more like ballet, just listen the sound the Olympians made.
Love it!! Music starts back up, he’s hyped, POP. Music fades, illegal hit🤣🤣🤣
I keep coming back to this old mocie clips. Real good movies
Lord Vader is pleased.
Hold its own as one of the best displays of martial arts. Respect 😎🥊
These guys are brothers in real life
Yah, and Dae Han’s (Simon Rhee) ironically one of the consultants for the show _Cobra Kai_ (Ironic because Tommy Lee/Philip Rhee is the one who wrote, directed & produced All of the _Best of the Best_ films... my favorite is _Best of the Best 2_ largely because of Travis Brinkley’s Everlast Boxing trunks made into pants...
Wow never knew that
3:05 really sounds like a laugh, after (what seems) a hit in the groint. Gets me every time 😂
One of the last true movies without special effects ... loved ut 20 years ago . And still love it
Hell yeah, out-to-in crescent followed with an immediate spinheel kick, beautifully done by Rhee, him and Simon are fuckin' masters of their craft!!
great movie, very inspiring i study taekwondo right now and this movie makes me wanna train harder so i can go to the olympics... Philip Rhee rocks hard
This one is truly Best Of The Best!
A masterpiece !
I remember wanting to master that triple kick he gave Dae Han. I actually executed it on my uncle while play fighting, while my other uncle erupted in laughter and cheers.
This had me crying back in the day, a saturday summer afternoon on channel 11
Awesome fighting scene 😊
I cried like a dam baby when I saw this scene for the very first time.
5:00 Love Tommys Trible kick to the front of Dae Han and also in Best of the best 2 on the 3rd gladiator right before meeting Brakus
i love this fight scene, was in high school when i first seen it, still chokes me up like a little girl.though especially when they hand over their medals
It's been a while, I'll need a refresher on the whole movie now:)
I love this movie! Underrated Classic!
they are brothers in real life. awesome fight scene
I was torn watching this scene growing up. Part of me said finish the fight. He killed your big brother and made your mother cry. While the other half said Tommy don't do it man. David wouldn't want you to become a killer it's not worth it.
I usually dont cry over villains but this part was really sad at end when Dan Han Redeemed himself after Tommy was trying to kill his own brother that's really sad 🥺
Good movie , probably the most underrated martial arts movie I hear no one talk about this movie first . Great flick from my childhood love it
My fave movie as a kid. Loved this and the second. Others weren't anything to do with them just had Tommy lee in them
Wow, he practicado TAE KWON DO de Korea del NORTE 🇰🇵 por muchísimos años, soy 6to dan cinturón negro, y está película siempre me ha fascinado aunque los actores traigan el Taebuk (bandera de Korea del sur 🇰🇷), es el mismo TAE KWON DO el de Korea del NORTE 🇰🇵 y el de Korea del sur 🇰🇷. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
nice combos and emotional scenes
this movie was epic , will watch over and over !!!
Tommy: I want to kill him. Coach: Don't kill him. Alex: Don't kill him. Ahmad Rashad: Why isn't he killing him yet?
I mean, Tommy literally could've pushed Dae-Han over with his pinky finger and still achieved a WIN-WIN but hey lets not spoil a wholesome ending
Funny is I never cried when I was young till I got older and my empathy went through the roof of understanding Tommy's pain fear anger and why he held back, vengeance was in his hands and did something more powerful restraint the hardest despline for us martial artist. Movie is sorely underrated. A must have in the martial arts archive. Much to Phillip and Simon. 😥😥 The technical kicks were perfection. Can't stand some movies with weak sloppy kicks not this one. Them feet were smooth a boxers jab. Goose bumps.
I can watch this all day and never get tired it
This movie shaped my character as a man.
Only Jame's powerful "No"'s stopped Tommy from decapitating Dae.
Absolutely pure class this film
One of my all time favourite fight scenes!
