I've watched this movie several times since the mid-80's, and it never gets old. Definitely inspired me to take Kung Fu lessons once I got a little older..
Agree, this really showed his speed and agility better than his later movies. When he became a bigger star and got more control over his fight scenes, he relied on extreme dramatic angles, slo-mo, use the same helicopter kick 6 times, etc
The Van Damme story with Kurt calling him to ask him about the sequel was absolutely hilarious. Its great to finally see Kurt again. He was a huge inspiration during my childhood. I still own No Retreat No Surrender on VHS that I bought back in the early 90’s. Thank you for this episode Scott🙏
@@ZECAHRIAH313 Haha agree. Even during the 80s there was a certain 80s atmosphere to rental stores. The smell hit you as soon as you walked in. It was a unique nice smell lol.
You can see how happy and excited Scott is here speaking to Kurt. That's what happens when you truly love something as a kid, it never goes away and it stays in the heart no matter how old you get.
Its true..i loved the final fight in 1 & loved cynthia Rothrock in 2...still pissed she got killed .😂😂 loved both movies forever & im 44 for the Record..😉😉
My little brother, Joey and I used to watch this movie together over and over again. I was a huge Bruce Lee fan and was devastated when he died. And I introduced my brother to these kind of movies. When this movie came out it became one of the movies we could bond over watching. To this day the movie is remembered fondly by both of us. Thank you. We loved you in it.❤😊
My favorite movie no retreat no surrender i am kosovo Albanian and in my country was war its bad and i was little i watch this movie love ❤❤ bring me memory kid :( Special thanks Mr. scott Adkins
I remember this movie, (No Retreat, No Surrender) By Corey Yuen, Kurt McKinney was a Taekwondo practitioner before starring in this martial arts movie, the 80's were a very good generation.
As corny as this film is at times, there are only a few films that had such of an profound impact on my development as No Retreat No Surrender. I am how I am because this movie exists. So great to see Kurt McKinney on the show. Thanks Scott!
I used to love No retreat No surrender. I used to come home from my karate lessons and watch it. Me and my friend used to watch it at his house as well, then train afterwards. I still watch it to this day. It would be great to see you and Kurt in a movie together, Scott. Really hope it happens in the future when things are back to normal 👍
I hope Kurt knows just how important a film this was for a lot of people growing up. I saw it when I was about 11 or 12 in the late 80s, and for years it was my favourite film. I agree with Scott in that Van Damme played second fiddle to Kurt in this film (for years I always saw him as a villain due to his role as Ivan), and I always wanted to be Jason. I grew up with the UK VHS cut of the film ,which is slightly different to the other version, but either way, it was a genuine landmark for me as a young boy. I'll go as far as saying I even prefer it to Rocky as an overall viewing experience. Also, it took me years to find any love for the sequels because they didn't have Kurt in them. I like them now, but back then it was a sore point. Anyway, thank you Kurt, and thank you Scott for validating all us old 80s/90s VHS martial arts film junkies. Video rental night was special, and these films made it that way, so it's great to hear from all these guys again.
Same with me! I remember i was very confused when Van Damme did later a movie when he played twin brothers, i mean a double role. One of the twins looked exactly like Ivan Kreshinsky, i mean the hairstyle etc. And yes, its not negative, but Van Damme like Dolph Lundgren are simply awesome as Ivan Kreshinsky and Ivan Drago! It is always funny to me when i see Jean-Claude as Frank Dux in Bloodsport or Dolph as He-Man in Masters of the Universe...since they played such bad ass villains in NRNS and Rocky 4.
@@javi9436 I agree. The acting is even worse in the extended cut. There are some funny scenes between R.J and the fat guy, but the original cut is still my favorite.
why am i just seeing these...ahh mahhh gahh. these are the films that helped coax my parents into enlisting me into martial arts. and the fact that Adkins is conducting these interviews...PRIMO!
It's such a privilege to see Kurt Mckinney after over 30 years. Back in 1986, all kids were inspired by his Jason Stillwell character as well as Bruce Lee's spirit. But most of all, the soundtrack was very motivational. Even today, "I still hold on the vision in my eyes"
Van Damme totally did the Stallone lip thing when his character was angry. If you’re not quite sure what the Stallone lip is, it’s when the bottom lip stretches and reaches down like your trying to touch it to your chin.
This movie is van glorious. I started wearing ankle weights while running from watching this movie when I first got into martial arts. Lol. " Stand on your own. There's no retreat. There's no surrender ".
That film got me in to Martial arts, and Bruce Lee. Fortunately I was living in Hong Kong in 1986, so I immediately as a 13 year old I joined a club & went to Sifu Lee's former home. Good memories ☺️
@@Robocoppat hey robo is it the usa version thats your favorite as well? In my opinion the usa version of no retreat no surrender is superior. The training music.of the trainining. Stand on your ownnnn. Theres no retreat theres no.surrender!!. Wondrr when the usa ver gets a dvd. Only on vhs sadly Love vandammes villain music in the end fight.and how it.kicks in as he gets jason. Jasonnnnnn!! No Retreat ...No surrender!!
@shel0016 "NO RETREAT...NO SURRENDER " MY FRIEND. I'm in the USA and I've always watched that version. I couldn't tell you how many times I've watched this movie. Hey Kurt did the guy who played your dad in the movie have any martial arts training?. ~~~~~NO RETREAT ~~~~ ~~~NO SURRENDER ~~~~
Wow. Kurt McKinney. Karate Tiger is one of the best inspired movie ever i seen. Hold on to the Vision from Kevin Chalfant is always my Song for Training. Best wishes to Mr.Adkins and Mr.McKinney. thanks for all
I'm a Japanese fan I learned about this movie from the AMV on TH-cam. Since the DVD wasn't released in Japan, I finally got an old VHS and watched it with my mom. I watched it over and over again because of its interesting development and sharp action. Please continue to be well
One could say its 'just another film', but truth is it influenced me to stick with Taekwondo although I wasnt good or talented at it. It taught me that things dont come for free and you need to work hard to achieve things. I used what I learned in private life, at work, everywhere. So yeah, thanks for 'just another film' that shaped me to be persistent in life!!
No Retreat No Surrender is - an will always be - a classic! It was one of the movies that brought me into Martial Arts. Oh, and "Hold on to the vision" is still on my training playlist =)
@@brendanduffy2367 i think about when RJ comes in and hes basically practicing alone and talking to no one and RJ just kinda blows it off. Like did he want Bruce's help so bad that his own mind made it happen? Taking the lessons he was learning from the books or improving on what he already knew and was influenced by? Im pretty sure all us martial arts nerds can build some pretty sick training regimens based on shit we all saw in movies.
That movie paved the way for other martial arts movies with similar action staples and choreographies. Corny as hell, but it was so much fun at the same time. Classic, ma, classic. Thank you, Scott, thank you, Kurt.
That movie meant alot to me too. Nice to see him here cause I wondered why I didn't see him in more martial arts films too. Hope u really do make an official no retreat 2! Scott can play Jason & Kurt can play his father maby. Give him some fight scenes too. Great interview 🙏
Watched No Retreat No Surrender when I was in the army back in the 80's. Me and fellow soldiers would go to Denver regularly and compete in tournaments. Since then I would watch movie night before tournaments. Became a tradition, even when my kids started training and competing.
I been waiting a long time for this. Interviews with Kurt are rare and hard to find. This will be the definitive interview i been looking for, i am sure of it.

Scott Adkins is an inspiration to me as an aging martial arts Enthusiast. Not that he’s old. But he’s a little bit older than me. So I’ve got no excuse to slow down.
Classic, I watched this back in the day all the time. Im a 3rd degree in wu-shu and studied Wing Chung and jkd for 8 years, best thing i ever did. I loved this movie, still to this day I watch it .
This movie changed my perspective on martial art movies !! Oh so martial arts can knock in my back yard!! It was my favorite movie of my childhood!! Thx SCOTT can’t wait for the interview!!
i just picked up No Retreat No Surrender on blu-ray a week ago which is a great 80s martial arts movie and this was another fantastic interview. i hope Scott puts Kurt McKinney in a movie teaming up together.
I saw No Retreat No Surrender in the theater as a kid and I'll tell you what it is about that movie. To have the ghost of Bruce Lee be your personal trainer would be the coolest thing ever to me, second JCVD blew me away in the opening scene, by the end I KNEW I had just witnessed a new huge future star in martial arts films. And EVERYONE in that movie is a exceptional martial artist hands down!
One of my all time favorite movies as a kid. Its right up there with Rocky 4 and Bruce Lee Game of Death. Takes me back to the good old days when I was a kid.
Yeah and it ruins the film. Way too many rubbish scenes left in , and not so great music score. The better shorter UK /export version is my fave, thst came out on bluray recently I think, right?
This is such a treat! Theirs never been any special addition with bonus features of this movie. For years I’ve wanted to know about how it was made. Thank you Scott and Kurt!
I love all the martial arts 🥋 movies from the 80s .”No retreat no surrender “was an awesome movie.I’ve been in different martial arts for 37 years now...Thanks Scott for interviewing classic martial arts movies and actors and actresses.🥊👊🏼💪🏼👍🏽🤙🏼
Kurt Mckinney is a living legend & it would be supercool to see thee official sequal for no retrear no surrender...another brilliant interview as always😎
Yeah,with Matthias Hues, What a sequel,as much as i was gutted that Kurt McGinney wasn't in the 2nd one,when I first saw Loren Avedon fighting,I was like "yeah,this dude is good". Then there is Cynthia Rothrock who was just a bad ass anyway, I must've watched this movie over 50 times as a kid,I was hooked
I watched this film about a million times. Awesome choreography and a great patina...Still love it....It's my favourite together with bloodsport, best of the best and only the strong...Iconic stuff that I still like to watch even after so many years!!!
man, "no retreat no surrender" was one of my all time faves. i had that on vhs along with my bruce lee movies that i used to watch every day after school. classic.
Man I love this movie even know at 44 years old and I got into Martial arts by watching this as always wanted to be a great martial artist like Bruce Lee and I was bullied as a child and wanted to look after myself
Man what a good old memories when i was a kid, i use to love to rent this movie and watch it so many times, also wonder why this guy didn't make many more films like JCVD This movie, Breathing Fire, American Ninja, and many more 80's and 90's martial arts action movies was everything in my childhood, thanks for doing this and thanks ya'll inspired me to get into martial arts training \m/
I watched this movie when I was in Afghanistan and I had a yellow belt at the time. I was mesmerized for months. To this day, it is still one of my favorite movies.
I watched this movie 100 times probably and sequels also ! Did anyone see a fan trailer for No Retreat No Surrender 2023 from Big Fan Trailers.That is something that I would like to see !
FANTASTIC interview!! Eagerly awaiting the Official sequel to No Retreat No Surrender, guys!! A huge fan of the original installment of the franchise ever since I saw it in the theater as a twelve year old. Thank you for the inspiration it produced. And , thank you both Kurt and Scott for this interview and blessings to you both.
Big fan of Scott Atkins movies. Love no retreat no surrender. Back in the day found the movie at a garage sale for 3$ brand new. Now I have it in blue ray. Never get tired of watching it.
We caught a glimpse of the muscles from Brussels here, but what we need is a whole episode dedicated to this martial arts legend. Please, Scott, interview the great Jean-Claude Van Damme and make your series complete.
No Retreat No Surrender, man my childhood.
That and blood spot
@@Lord_darkside74 most definitely. They don't make them like they used to.
This movie is a pivotal part of my childhood. Its up there with Karate Kid for me.
Facts! I still watch it now along with part 2. Part 3 for me was absolute pants!
I've watched this movie several times since the mid-80's, and it never gets old. Definitely inspired me to take Kung Fu lessons once I got a little older..

His final fight with Van Damme was epic.
Van damme vs Riley was better fight
@@paulsmith9192 Yeah was a bit challenging for JCVD, nonetheless he subdued him.
By far "No Retreat, No Surrender" is Van Damme's best work as a screen fighter. I like a handful of his flicks but very few of his fights.
Agree, this really showed his speed and agility better than his later movies.
When he became a bigger star and got more control over his fight scenes, he relied on extreme dramatic angles, slo-mo, use the same helicopter kick 6 times, etc

That’s true! Great analogy!

Very true,watched no retreat no surrender like I was revising for a final exam as a youngster,what a classic
It spoke to many of us.
"you're good"
"I get better"
Hell, i need to watch it AGAIN!
No Retreat no Surrender was a great movie. I've seen it many times.
I know about this movie with another name Karate Tiger in german dubbing from german channel ProSieben or simply Pro7.
This is one of my all time favorite movies I grew up with as a kid

For years I’ve wanted to know about how it was made.
Thank you Scott and Kurt!
I loved No Retreat No Surrender, Big up Kurt and Van Damme.
No Retreat No Surrender was like a live action American take on a shonen martial arts anime like Kenichi and Baki. Such an awesome movie!
I remember watching this when it came out in 1986 produced by Ng See Yuen and directed by Cory Yuen Kwai.I was about 20 when I saw it,classic.
I was like 7yrs old
I was 11 at the time.
First saw
I wonder why this western film was so close to HK movie 🤔
and finally I realized that was A Corey Yuen film.👍
I saw pieces of it on HBO in the mid 80s probably 87-88 I must’ve been around 7-8. Then got the VHS around 92-93 and watched it over and over
Ok Scott, now get Kurt in a movie with you. Make it happen.
Surprised he never asked him years ago
Kurt kinda moved on from martial arts movies. In the 90s he did a movie with Cynthia Rothrock and Brad Dourif then did a soap opera
@@johnnyb9591 yea cant blame an actor for taking steady work wherever it came.
I love all the martial arts 🥋 movies from the 80s .”No retreat no surrender “was an awesome movie.I’ve been in different martial arts for 37 years now...Thanks Scott for interviewing classic martial arts movies and actors and actresses.🥊👊🏼💪🏼👍🏽🤙🏼
Scott Adkins! Thank you so much for your channel! Respect from Russia!
JCVD & Kurt McKinney are my childhood heroes! I was waiting for this day to come and here it is right in front of me.
Kurt Mckinney is a living legend & it would be supercool to see thee official sequal for no retrear no surrender...another brilliant interview as always😎
We need definitely - No Retreat No Surrender 2 -. This Movie has a Huge meaning in my Life.
Yeah,with Matthias Hues, What a sequel,as much as i was gutted that Kurt McGinney wasn't in the 2nd one,when I first saw Loren Avedon fighting,I was like "yeah,this dude is good". Then there is Cynthia Rothrock who was just a bad ass anyway, I must've watched this movie over 50 times as a kid,I was hooked
I watched this film about a million times. Awesome choreography and a great patina...Still love it....It's my favourite together with bloodsport, best of the best and only the strong...Iconic stuff that I still like to watch even after so many years!!!
You got to interview also Lucinda Dickey she was the woman in Ninja 3 The Domination classic movie
This is really great. Fan of Scott and Kurt! My twin brother was a unisol with Scott in Universal Soldier Day of Reckoning!
Avengenment Scott Adkins , top of the list.not just the movie, but as a person.
I grew up watching No Retreat, No Surrender as a kid in the 80s. I love that movie.
man, "no retreat no surrender" was one of my all time faves. i had that on vhs along with my bruce lee movies that i used to watch every day after school. classic.
Sign the petition.....No Retreat, No surrender 2....the official sequel. :)
That was already made. It was terrible.
I've seen that countless times and I still get excited every time.
Man I love this movie even know at 44 years old and I got into Martial arts by watching this as always wanted to be a great martial artist like Bruce Lee and I was bullied as a child and wanted to look after myself
Kurt is such a nice and humble guy.
Easily one of my favorite childhood movies. “I get better”. You sure do Jason Stillwell.
Scott you are super competent and can do whatever you want. I Love you Scott ❤❤❤❤
Scott is like the Eddie VanHalen of Martial Arts.... Great Stuff... Keep it up... Kurt is a Great Guy!! Thank You!!!!
Man what a good old memories when i was a kid, i use to love to rent this movie and watch it so many times, also wonder why this guy didn't make many more films like JCVD
This movie, Breathing Fire, American Ninja, and many more 80's and 90's martial arts action movies was everything in my childhood, thanks for doing this and thanks ya'll inspired me to get into martial arts training \m/
Yes!!! I’ve always wanted this interview.
I watched this movie when I was in Afghanistan and I had a yellow belt at the time. I was mesmerized for months. To this day, it is still one of my favorite movies.
This to me was Van Dammes best movie. He was completely out of this world
I watched this movie 100 times probably and sequels also ! Did anyone see a fan trailer for No Retreat No Surrender 2023 from Big Fan Trailers.That is something that I would like to see !
Man that was so good. SO many memories. and the song as well.
FANTASTIC interview!! Eagerly awaiting the Official sequel to No Retreat No Surrender, guys!! A huge fan of the original installment of the franchise ever since I saw it in the theater as a twelve year old. Thank you for the inspiration it produced. And , thank you both Kurt and Scott for this interview and blessings to you both.
Big fan of Scott Atkins movies. Love no retreat no surrender. Back in the day found the movie at a garage sale for 3$ brand new. Now I have it in blue ray. Never get tired of watching it.
Kurt McKinney is also one of the few people on earth who influenced my childhood.
Scott you are amazing thank you very much.
We caught a glimpse of the muscles from Brussels here, but what we need is a whole episode dedicated to this martial arts legend. Please, Scott, interview the great Jean-Claude Van Damme and make your series complete.
