Amazing action...Crappy acting.

I watch this movie every weekend because of the sheer humorous acting and the brutal fighting. the fighting is alot better than most recent movies...but, story cannot play out correctly due to really bad acting. I bought this movie is cheap and it's possibly the greatest 5 bucks I've ever spent. There are some scenes where I'll just break out and laugh at because Data from "The Goonies" (Jonathon ke quan) beats the tar out of a 300 lb muscle man. If's you find this movie,by all means buy it. It's one of the funniest movies i've ever seen...sadly, it isn't supposed to be.

Definitely Crappy! And I Was In It!!!!

I was an actor in this picture and after viewing it...I must say that it is a CRAPPY movie. They even dubbed someone else's voice over mine! It was the first acting role that I ever had. I did love the food they fed us. Chinese! Mmmm! It was fun working with the kid from Goonies and Bolo. Bolo didn't speak much English, but he's a great guy! I got a lot of laughs watching this movie. The acting was OSCAR quality...Oscar Meyer...hot dog with artificial filling!

Very cheap movie but it has fighting

Movie is so short it doesn't even meet the 80 minute mark. This movie is what it is, a typical story about two friends who become enemies, have to fight each other, and get involve with some really bad guys. It is what it is, short but if you have 70 minutes to spare, give it a watch. I think the Asian kid from the Goonies is in this movie.

Extremely bad b-movie

This is supposed to be a martial arts movie,but the story and fighting scenes are so bad that it just gets boring. I picked this movie up for one reason,because Bolo Yeung was in it,but it turned out that he didnt have any real fighting scenes in it,so all i can say is that this is a piece of crap. Extremely bad story and acting and the fight scenes is not more than a Karate kid look a like.

Where are they now?

This movie did suck. Bad! But I can't stop watching it because I know one of the actors. Eddie Saavedra and I used to serve on the same ship in the Navy, and true to the picture in the movie, he is a phenomenal martial artist. My only regret is I have lost contact with him when he used to be one of my heroes, because of this movie, and because he taught me almost everything I knew about the job we did together in the Navy when he was my supervisor. He really has talent. It was also great to see Jonathan Ke Quan acting again. He turned out to be quite a fighter himself. One thing I would definitely pay money to see is a better quality movie made with this duo put together again. "Breathing Fire" was definitely a "B" movie, but with the right directors, and better funding, Eddie and Jonathan could really shine.

Trivia
Bolo Yeung demanded that the shooting of the film be delayed 6 months so he could grow a ponytail. The producers were so intimidated by him that they agreed. While Bolo was waiting for his hair to grow he worked as a consultant on 3 Ninjas Kick Back and Kindergarten Ninjas.
