Watch RiffTrax: No Retreat, No Surrender

RiffTrax: No Retreat, No Surrender is a comedic movie released in 2015 that features Michael J. Nelson, Bill Corbett, and Kevin Murphy. The movie is a part of the RiffTrax series, which is known for spoofing classic and modern movies with hilarious commentary from the cast. The story of No Retreat, No Surrender revolves around a young man named Jason Stillwell, who learns martial arts to defend himself from bullies. After his father is attacked by the notorious Ivan Kraschinsky, a criminal mastermind, Jason seeks the help of Bruce Lee's ghost to defeat Ivan in a martial arts competition.

As with most RiffTrax movies, the plot of No Retreat, No Surrender is not the focus of the film. Instead, the cast's hilarious commentary on the movie is what makes the film entertaining. The cast frequently makes fun of the cheesy dialogue, over-the-top fight scenes, and absurd plot points throughout the movie.

Michael J. Nelson, Bill Corbett, and Kevin Murphy are all known for their work on the popular television show Mystery Science Theater 3000. In RiffTrax: No Retreat, No Surrender, their witty commentary and snarky remarks make the already cheesy martial arts movie even more enjoyable.

One of the funniest parts of the movie is also the most bizarre. During the final fight scene with Ivan, Jason's father suddenly appears in the crowd and begins cheering his son on. However, it's unclear how he escaped from the hospital where he was being treated for his injuries. The RiffTrax cast takes full advantage of this and relentlessly makes fun of the plot hole.

Another comedic element of the movie is the character of Bruce Lee's ghost, who appears to Jason throughout the film. Despite being portrayed as a wise mentor, Bruce Lee's ghost often has amusingly cryptic things to say to Jason. The RiffTrax cast seizes on these moments to make jokes about the absurdity of the situation.

The fight scenes in No Retreat, No Surrender are also prime targets for the RiffTrax cast's ridicule. Many of the fight scenes are poorly choreographed and feature unrealistic moves. For example, in one scene, Jason appears to punch someone so hard that they are launched several feet into the air. The RiffTrax cast has a field day pointing out how ridiculous this looks.

Overall, RiffTrax: No Retreat, No Surrender is a movie that is enjoyable for both fans of martial arts films and fans of the RiffTrax series. The cast's commentary adds a layer of comedy to the already absurd action movie, making it a fun watch for anyone looking for a good laugh.

RiffTrax: No Retreat, No Surrender is a 2015 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 39 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.7.
