Even as a martial arts buff, I avoided watching this movie for years because I figured it was more of an inspirational sports drama than a kung fu flick. But no, it turns out "Best of the Best" is legit. It has enough spinning kicks to satisfy the average action junkie but, beyond that, the story contains a fair amount of heart, anchored by some solid performances from James Earl Jones, Eric Roberts, and Phillip Ree
