Extreme Challenge Trailers

A TV channel would be the first in the world to send a martial arts contest through the Internet. The competition is the people with completely different backgrounds that will make up for the title.

Reviews
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
mickael28 If you like sports but you hate people who do anything to win, I'd totally recommend this movie.I suppose that those who do not like to compete may not understand/like the story line but if you do, i'm sure you'll enjoy the movie more than you'd expect for this type of movies.Regarding the fights, they're quite good as well and you've got a mix of one to one or group fights, with or without weapons, etcI specially liked the last written sentence of the film! :)If you've got the chance just get it and enjoy.I'm still wondering if the other person who's written that the story line is really had has ever played a sport!
udar55 This Golden Harvest production is set in the near future when internet fighting is the world's favorite sport (even surpassing soccer!). Anyway, a group of people get together and beat each other up on a very intricate obstacle course. Two of the competitors are former pupils of the same master. Oooooohhhh, there's gonna be some drama. The film is 80% fighting and the fights are good. Or I should say entertaining in a comic book way. They are sped up a tiny bit and the director uses lots of freeze frames, swipes and quick pans so you never stick on one fight/shot for too long. The other 20% of the film is spent on some amazingly funny dialogue. I watched the dubbed US release but you can tell the English speaking actors really delivered their lines. This is acting that makes Jean Claude Van Damme look like a Elia Kazan protégé. Still, combined with the fast action and professional look, this c-grade acting combines well to make a entertaining 90 minutes.
Pretty Face Marital artists from all over the world congregate and compete at the first world martial arts competition to be held live on the internet. Stunt maestro Tung Wei directs Ken Chang and a list of martial artistes in this exciting competitive actioner where friendship, betrayal and hidden agendas go hand in hand. Director Tung promises a great competition setting and adrenaline pumping fight scenes.Ken Cheung (Chi Hiu), Patricia Ja Lee, Jacqueline Li, Yeung Chuen Ai, Paul Rapouski, Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho), Ken Wong (Hap Hei)..Film Director(s): Stephen Tung Wai Film Producer(s): David Chan, Shi Jiu Hui Released: 2001 [Hong Kong]MUST LOOK OUR FOR Jacqueline Li as Karen. She was very sexy
Alexandre Bender I taught this one was going to be horrible but I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, the story and acting are bad. But you have Stephen Tung Wai directing this, so the action sequences must be quite good. That is what saved the movie for me. You have 9 fight sequences, 2 group fights and 7 one-on-one bouts! Definitely not a classic but worth a rent in my opinion...........................7,9/10
