Is the cheesiest, corniest movie ever?


I've watched a lot of cheesy horror and martial arts movies, but this beats them all with the attempts at humor, the silly characters, the horrible acting and the over-the-top emotional scenes that for some reason made me teary eyed even as I was thinking how stupid it was 

The whole thing was so hilariously awful that I find myself liking the movie in spite of everything.

I usually like Eric Roberts and think he's underrated as an actor, but my God, his performance here was cringe-worthy. Every time he cried, I cringed, and he cried a lot 

And I really burst out laughing each time that cheesy "eastern music" started up whenever Sally Kirkland's character was talking. Her character was even worse than Roberts' acting.

The ending was so cheesy that I was laughing, yet I had a lump in my throat too. Weird 

Anyway, as a martial arts movie it sucks. The only good fight was the one between the Rhee brothers, but as an over-the-top, cheesy, unintentionally hilarious yet "tugs at your heart strings" movie, I certainly enjoyed it.

It was in the 80's so what would you exactly expect?

As the other guy said, the 80s was pure cheese-fest. But this movie can be forgiven for its cheese cos I like it so much lol

Yep, so cheesy, so corny, you can't help but chuckle and enjoy the "drama!"

It's a total cheese-fest and I cry through the last 20 minutes!

I don't think it is, way more cheesy / corny movies out there. You haven't seen a lot of Roger Corman movies have you?
