2.0 out of 5 stars oh, brother (1.5/5), Sep 14 2007

This review is from: The Quest (Widescreen) (DVD)

i hate to say this,but this movie is dumb,even for a Van Damme
flick.the story is stupid and slow and has no flow at all.the fight
scenes are nothing special,similar to Blood-Sport but pale in
comparison.Roger Moore is in this one,and he may be the only good thing
about this mess.and just once,is it too much to ask for Van Damme to
actually sound like his character is from the locale in the movie.his
accent never changes,no matter what nationality his character is
supposed to be.in this one He plays Christopher Dubois,a Frenchman in
New York in the mid 1920's.how about playing a character with a New York
accent?it's obvious Van Dammme never took any dialect lessons or tried
to change his accent in any way,which is what makes most of his movies
more than a bit absurd.and don't even get me started on the title.i
mean "The Quest",how original.but then again the movie has no
originality either,so i guess it's fitting that the title should follow
suit.anyway,Van Damme directed and co-wrote the story with Frank
Dux.all i can muster is 1.5/5 for Roger Moore

1.0 out of 5 stars A joke, Jun 29 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Quest (Widescreen) (DVD)

If it's showing on TV and you want to laugh, watch it. Just don't spend any money on it.
The plot was ridiculously banal and was completely secondary to the whole thing. The movie is just a B-film action celebration, with stupid, overplayed "round one, fight!" streetfighter kinda sound effects for every geek to love and every normal person to have a ball laughing at.

Basically, fast forward to the last half an hour or forty minutes to listen to some guy announcing the different countries and to hear the gong blast before watching some silly but cool fights. I mean, they're all pretty lame because you KNOW that the obvious ending is to see the American Van Damme fight the heartless big bad behemoth, but it's always more interesting to see what happens to the OTHER fighters...
Who wins between Russia vs Spain (a great fight)? China vs Korea? Turkey vs Holland? All the fighters are portrayed as the stereotypical image of their country and it's really quite a blast. The stand-outs are the Turkish fighter (serious Ottomon savage), Chinese (monkey-acrobatics), Japanese (fat sumo), Korean (buff asian), Spanish (flamenco dancer who hits on the only chick in the film), Greek fighter (ethical) etc. Roger Moore's presence is a joke and yeah, only if it's on TV and you're bored.
