Story: Ken has just moved from Kansas with his mother. He talks to a girl named Julie, not knowing that her boyfriend Tom is very possessive of her. Tom is learning karate from Lee, a sensei whose brother was killed by a rookie cop named Billy. Billy has since then become the janitor of the school that Ken, Julie and Tom go to. When Ken gets beaten up by Tom for talking to Julie again, Billy helps Ken by teaching him how to defend himself, which eventually leads to a battle between student vs. student, and sensei vs. sensei.
Likes : Showdown" aimed more at teenagers. In the beginning of the movie, Ken Marx (Kenn Scott) arrives on his first day of school after moving from Kansas with his mom. From the get-go as the new kid, Ken doesn't fit in with the other students, his only friend being Mike (John Mallory Asher), another local outcast who shows him the ins and outs of his new environment.
Right away, Ken makes the mistake of hitting on the pretty blonde Julie (Christine Taylor), instantly making mortal enemies out of her extremely possessive boyfriend Tom (Ken McLeod). Of course, Johnny... er... Tom, is a violent Karate black belt, instructed in a macho, unethical form of martial arts under the macho, insane Lee (Patrick Kilpatrick). Ken takes several brutal beatings from Tom, until one day he's saved by the school's janitor, Billy (Blanks). Billy decides he's going to teach Ken to defend himself, so that he can finally stand up to Tom and win over Julie.
Now I think this film is kind of underrated to be honest only been given a 4.5, which is so underrated for what this film is, yes it not an Oscar winner martial art film but it not meant to be, its a good entertaining film that's enjoyable to watch.
I can relate to the character of ken because I was bullied myself though school its not easy to fit in to a new school when you get some idiot bullying you, so ya if you've been in a situation like this you cant relate to this character.
Not a lot of people know that Kenn Scot is one of the teenage mutant ninja turtles film back in 1990 I believe it was Donatello he played.one thing about this film is that it will be hard to find on DVD as it one of those rare film that you mite be lucky to find in a shop or on amazon.com, I was lucky to buy it when I saw it. This is a good afternoon film to watch despite its cheesiness this is a very good film that you cant really go wrong in watching.
Dislikes : This film wont be for every one, some mite think this film is bad, but other mite like it depend on your taste of film's.
Overall : Really enjoyable film to watch, good fight scene, comical moment's
Rating: 4.6 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.5 out of 10 for storyline/concept
