Review of Showdown

Showdown (I) (1993)
1/10
I can't believe this movie was ever made.
16 March 2000
The first time I saw this movie, I actually cried from laughing. (I swear that is 100% true) It is such a hideous movie that after I saw it on Showtime, I rented it to make sure that I hadn't hallucinated the entire thing. To my delight, the movie is real.... real bad.

I don't know why it didn't do better as a cult film - it is pretty much a dead-on parody of itself and all other films spawned from the Karate Kid mania of the mid eighties.

It isn't worth describing the plot in any other terms than "carbon copy of Karate Kid".

For some true belly laughs, rent this one. I had to check 5 or 6 different video stores to find it, but it is well worth it.
