In this episode of Bags of Action we review the martial arts classic Best of the Best from 1989 starring Eric Roberts, James Earl Jones, Sally Kirkland, Phillip Rhee and Chris Penn. This is a strange film in a lot of ways about a martial arts competition, east vs west, but it’s also trying to be a film about family.

BEST OF THE BEST:
Alex Grady (played by Eric Roberts) is a martial artist who joins a team representing the United States to compete against Korea in a Tae Kwon Do tournament that takes place every 3 years. The American team is made up a group of very different but loud characters who are not very cohesive, compared to the Korean team who are unified in their style and training. Can the Americans work together to win?
