The film is renowned for its intense fight scenes, showcasing Van Dammeโs martial arts prowess, including his signature high-flying kicks and splits. The movie features a memorable villain, Chong Li, played by Bolo Yeung, whose brute strength and menacing presence add to the drama of the tournament.
