Chris embarks on an odyssey of self-discovery that spans the globe. Kidnapped and enslaved by gun smugglers, sold by pirates and thrust into the murky underworld of gambling and kickboxing, Chris' journey takes him to forbidding Muay Thai Island where deadly martial arts are taught, the colonial splendor of British East Asia, the dank back alleys of Bangkok, desolate deserts once trod by the warriors of Genghis Khan and finally, the ancient Lost City. There he must face the ultimate test of his manhood in the fabled Ghang-gheng, the ancient winner-take-all competition in which the deadliest fighters from around the world employ the most spectacular feats of martial arts skills ever displayed in order to win the prized Golden Dragon.
Jean-Claude Van Damme's one and only directorial duty and it is an easily forgetable movie. There wasn't a whole lot of action in the film and for the little action there is, the fight scenes are weak and uneventful. Roger Moore was in the film but he was mediocre at best. To me, this tried to be more of a "feel good" movie rather than an action film.
