| Run Harry! (by Znobban) |
| I think The Quest is very simular with one of Van Damme's other movies, Bloodsport. And because i like Bloodsport i must say i like this one to. Roger Moore is very good as Lord Edgar Dobbs and Van Damme is also good as Christopher Dubois. The movie is about a fighting tournament in the lost city and the winner gets a dragon of gold. But on the way to victory Christopher Dubois must face many of the world's greatest fighters.... |
| Van Damme's Masterpiece. (by furiousneon) |
| The Quest was a great action film. It reminded me very much of Bloodsport and Lionheart which were great to me. This movie had a decent plot, not difficult to understand. JCVD did an excellent job directing this film, it was beautifully shot and the fight scenes were remarkable. Van Damme is still awesome and a great martial artist. Hopefully his upcoming films will be more like this or bloodsport, because thats the Van Damme that i miss and many others do too. 10/10. |
| A true Quest! (by a_hill99) |
| This movie is just great!! The plot is just amazing, the idea of a gathering from all over the world for a true tournament of champions, at a time when it was an adventure in of itself just getting there! The movie goes to some stunning location and the fights scenes are simply amazing! It has some of the most realistic portrayals of more styles than any half dozen other action movies! I love it! |
| Excellent! (by The__Watcher) |
| I am a Jean-Claude Van Damme Fan and have to say this is a 'Damme' good film. Doesn't the film remind you of 'Bloodsport'? Well this has a good story about Chris who wants to get the golden dragon and ends up in a tournament for the dragon. The fight scenes aren't that violent as most people would want to see. But it is an Epic, with a dramatic story. Roger Moore even acts in it gives a 'Bond' type entrance to his name. Overall this is a great film which shall not be missed by all fans. Van Damme is the man! |
| Surprisingly good (by Slaphammer1) |
| This film is a lot better than I expected, and much better than the other imdb comments would imply. You can essentially split this movie in half, with the first half being an adventure movie and the second half being a fight competition. I actually liked the adventure portion a lot more than the fight competition, which is surprising since I like stuff like Bloodsport the fight part of The Quest is essentially a higher-budget version of Bloodsport . At any rate, this movie is great visually -- it's filmed in a lot of exotic locations. I also thought the direction was great...there were <more> |
| Prepare to laugh (by Pro Jury) |
| Pure brilliance!If you easily appreciate spoof movies, prime yourself for THE QUEST by first viewing LIONHEART, BLOODSPORT, KICKBOXER, most any Antonio Banderas movie, a Rocky movie -- ANY Rocky movie, any movie that begins or ends with an old person reading a book, and that episode of LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE where the Ingalls family go to Chicago and meet children who are tought to steal. THE QUEST spoofs and mimics it all! Yes, it starts off a little slow, but eventually the lampooning gets going at full throttle. My ribs still hurt from laughing so hard. More funny than a whole season <more> |
| Variety Of Fighters, Nice Colors Made This Fun To Watch (by ccthemovieman-1) |
| Although it took four viewings before I finally lowered my rating of this from "9" to "8,", I suspect I will still watch this lame-brain action flick a few more times and enjoy it. That's because it offers a great mixture of fascinating fighters in the tournament that covers most of the final 40 minutes of the movie; is a modern-day martial-arts action film with almost no swearing and no sex; and offer some tremendous scenery in the first half of the film as Jean Claude Van Damme and company travel to the Far East for this "World's Greatest Fighter" <more> |
| The Big Picture of 1951.Spangles, cigarette cards and Tizer. (by ianlouisiana) |
| A rattling good old-fashioned Boys Own Paper adventure redolent of Saturday Morning Pictures in the early 1950s,colourful,exotic,exciting. Lots of fighting,an almost Conradian plot,a pretty girl with some lovely dresses,a slightly tarnished Englishman as the good/baddie...... what more could any boy want? Mr van Damme has the odd attack of "arty-crafty"Why the clown on stilts? There is a nice nod to "Once upon a time in America",are they using the same set? But generally "The Quest" is good uncomplicated fun.Mr van Damme bounces around a lot,Mr Roger Moore comes <more> |
| Van Damme the ULTIMATE 80's / B-movie actor (by rowanpearce) |
| Brilliant! Almost an identical plot as a few other of Van Dammages films - Bloodsport and Kickboxer. But as my pappy always says, if you can't beat it, stick with it! This movie was made in the mid 90's which proves its ability to transcend the decades as it is still as great to watch today as it was when it first came out. It also starts other greats as Roger-some-Moore, and James Remar. Remar really adds he quality to this film that other supporting actors added to Bloodsport. He plays a mug boxer, who finds Van Dammes style of using his legs to fight superb, thus becomes his <more> |
