Review of Showdown

Showdown (I) (1993)
8/10
Kinda like "The Karate Kid", only more intense!
15 February 2006
I've seen this movie one time, and all I can say is the star Ken(Kenn Scott) was sorta like Daniel Russo of "The Karate Kid" only there were a few things his sensei(Billy Blanks) did that Miyagi didn't do. Billy helped enhanced his speed, and reflexes to go against Julie's controlling boyfriend, who was taught by a deranged sensei named Lee(Patrick Kilpatrick), who people there seem to totally dislike. The fight scene was nothing like the KK, especially when the other students saw what Lee did to his own pupil. Kenn tried to help only to land a sucker punch to the lower lumbar. Then it was Billy vs. Lee. And guess who the other team root for? Billy of course. When the other group of students told Billy about their dissatisfaction of Lee. Billy never decline an offer like that. Would you? The others were very happy to have a new sensei. I DON'T BLAME THEM! I liked the girl who wore the half-shirt. She was hot! Kenn Scott is very good in karate, is because I was taught by the same sensei he did in real life. It was here in North Carolina! Sorry, you'll have to see the movie, it may be cheap, if you see it that way, but I enjoyed it very well for many reasons. Rating 3 out of 5 stars.
