So true!

The Rhee brothers are such amazing screen fighters-so quick and clean on their techniques-I was completely blown away when I 1st saw Best of the Best

This guy is criminally underrated and underrecognized. I studied Martial Arts in High School and I used to mimic his moves and his training.

I'm agreeing with everyone on this thread. Phillip Rhee should've had way more success in Hollywood. His fight scenes in the Colosseum are some of the best I've ever seen then and now. They should've called it Best of Best 2: Tommy Don't Play.

but really what happend?, i loved that guy as a child

Phillip and his brother were 2 of THE BEST (old school) martial artists in the 80's & 90's! They're not as well known as Chuck, Jackie, Jet, or Van Damme,, but they DAMN SURE deserved to be!! I have to rewatch "Best Of The Best" (parts 1 AND 2) every few years! Because ANYTHING that brings Phillip Rhee (and his brother), Eric Roberts, Chris Penn, James Earl Jones, & Sonny Landham ALL TOGETHER in one place DESERVES a rewatch every few years! 😁👍

I agree. Movies like this were the reason i started martial arts. I went into Taekwondo as a kid and now im 20 years into northern and southern shaolin kung-fu. Normally when i watch back on old martial arts movies i can usually see they are not as good as i thought they were 😂. But Phillip Rhee is mindblowingly good. I honestly think he might have been the best martial artist we have ever had on the big screen. Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, Scott Adkins are all really good but look at Phillip's form here.....its a work of art.

Part of the issue of him and his brother becoming bigger was that at the start of their careers, they got tired of seeing scripts that only showed martial arts being used in a negative light, such as many of the martial arts revenge stories out there. That's why they became very selective about what projects they worked on.

Yeah, he auditioned for the role of Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat '95 but didn't get the part. I think he would have made a better Liu Kang than Robin Shou because Rhee has longer legs, more mass/muscle and cleaner movements, but Robin still did a good job.

One of my martial arts idols when started learning martial arts at the late teen. Best of the best is still one of the best martial arts movies ever. I admit that it brought me to tears every single time.

Watching Philip and Simon in Best of the Best is the most impressively choreographed fight I've ever seen

Loved this Dude. Phenomenal Martial Artist. Still rewatch The Entire Best of The Best Film Series( Although movie 3 isnt as Strong😮). " Tommy Nooooo".

Luv Philip rhee movies so much...thanks for making the videos

I like how his character got better thru the movies.His training in best of the best 2 made him a bad ass in 3 and 4.I know its a movie but it still was pretty good.I miss the 80's and 90's martial arts movies the were fun.

A beautiful mix of hapkido and real taekwondo.

Perfect combination of speed, grace and power.

Phillip Rhee to me is so underrated his martial arts skills are truly legendary.

Rhee is so underrated… he is truly amazing!

He should've been chosen to play Liu Kang in the original Mortal Kombat movie.

Thank Brah, Thanks for the memories. Philip Rhee inspired my kicking style in the 90's. Bruce Lee was a major influence in the 80's on...but Philip Rhee had such a beautiful spinning back kick that while I was practicing on a punching bag in my gym one dude was like "that's a beautiful spinning back kick brah." It ain't mine, it's Mr. Philip Rhee!

Phillip Rhee is an unrated martial arts actor.If he lived in Bruce Lee's time,he would have given Bruce Lee a very strong opponent to contend with.

It always surprised me that he didn't go farther in the business. His moves are so good

Excellent stunts. Great choreography with his stunt teams . Good work !

I don't know why he is so under appreciated. He is amazing and a real martial artist. However, I still have reservations about using martial arts for profit, public shows, competitions, and media of any kind.

He is a great martial arts, him and his brother.

The coach for the N. Korean team is Grandmaster Hee IL Cho. He'd probably take out any two of these guys. I studied under him in the mid 70's in Los Angeles. He's 83 and still doing TKD IN HAWAII
