Trivia:
Real life martial arts expert, author and Nebraska native, Robert Buseey can be seen in several scenes in this movie. Bussey, founder of Robert Bussey's Warrior International (RBWI), had a part in this film that showcased his realistic sword skills for one. The director felt it was too serious for the mood of the film and ultimately it was left on the cutting room floor. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: The Inhaler that Barry uses is not a use-on-demand type inhaler, it is in fact a one-time daily use inhaler. moreQuotes:
Jerry Gabrewski: [Jerry smells that drink that Mr. Lee has given Barry] What is that smell?Barry: I don't know.
Jerry Gabrewski: It must be a sewage backup around here.

The late Jonathan Brandis stars in this film where a sickly kid keeps going into daydreams of starring with Chuck Norris, allowing good ole Chuck to spoof his own films (Missing In Action, The Hit-man and I think Invasion USA).
You don't watch a film like this for the story - get Karate Kid for that, this film is about Chuck having a laugh at himself and I suppose for teenager overcoming adversity and becoming a self-respecting teenager or something things.
Get this film if you want a giggle and a decent but not too original story line, you'll have a good night in with this.
