When I first saw the film, I thought it was a Spike original, and that the caucasian actors were American, and that the dubbing was done intentionally for comedic effect. Despite learning this is not true, the sheer amount of laughter I enjoyed as a result of this film makes it an instant classic in my book. A must see. The martial arts sequences aren't the best I've ever seen, but they are far better than I myself can do. The main problem with the martial arts is the main problem I have with the martial arts in most films, it was too 'clean', too 'smooth'. A display of dojo kung-fu far more than anything resembling actual fights. Even films which are supposed to depict MMA suffer from this. See 'Never Back Down'.
