The Quest

Tucson Weekly

DIRECTED BY: Jean-Claude Van Damme

REVIEWED: 05-02-96

Jean Claude Van Damme-o-rama! The Muscles from Brussels not only stars in this movie, he wrote and directed it too! If you, too, are under the impression movies are made by smart, talented but occasionally misguided people, go see The Quest and have your little illusions shattered. This tale of a kidnapped clown trained as a world-class fighter, who then travels to the non-violent country of Tibet to compete in some mysterious, weird fighting match against the stereotypical macho guys of the world, is so stupid that the word "bad" only begins to claw at the margins of what this movie is and shall forever be. Anyone considering viewing The Quest should keep in mind it is unsuitable for entertainment purposes and should only be used as a form of punishment.
