- Alternate versionsThe original UK video version has an entire scene removed, at the end of the film the nunchuck display that Barry Gabrewski does as part of the competition is missing due to censorship rules in the UK at that time. Additional cuts were made to other nunchaku and throwing stars footage, bringing the cuts total to 4 mins 38 secs.

Featured review
Ok, I'd just like to say i personally thought this movie was great...its got that whole cheesy martial arts feel to it with the coming of age aspect mixed in. Ya...anyways what i'd like to know is how come this movie isn't on DVD? I have searched high and low for it and i can't find it, it doesn't exsist! There are plenty worse movies made that they are releasing on to dvd's i don't see why this one isn't. So if anyone ever sees this, especially someone who has the ability to put this movie into DVD format and preferably with some kind of behind the scenes extras or even better yet commentary with chuck norris and jonathan brandis i would greatly appreciate it and i would be the first one in line to get it....and who knows judging from the other posts maybe the last but hey.
