PLOT SPOILER REVIEW
This is a kids' film that combines "Karate Kid" with "Bad News Bears" inserting all the cliches. Beau Bridges had a short lived cameo as the dad of the fat kid. Former world champion Jimmy "The Lightning Bolt'"Lee (Phillip Rhee- also wrote and directed) shows up at the Mid City club and helps out the fight team. He was out of the loop for a while as he was hit by a semi-truck saving the life of a 5 year old boy. But it gets worse. He beats up the neighborhood bullies by giving them wedgies. The group of misfits which include a fat kid, a girl, and a neighborhood bully (not called the Bad News Bears) end up fighting the evil "Scorpions" who dress in black, lead by a man that doesn't play fair. . . WOW! Didn't see that coming.
Now the part that surprised me and the real plot spoiler is that the competition ended in a tie and they had to have a dance-off to determine the winner.
It was very painful to sit through. This is a Saturday Morning film for the kids to watch while you go mow the lawn. Older kids you can make watch the film as punishment.
