The Quest
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. But fighting prowess alone will not be enough for Chris to triumph over such daunting foes.

The film jumps from its lowest point during the contrived pirate slavery sequence to much higher scores once Roger Moore's charming Lord Dobbs enters the story.
The Quest follows a predictable sentiment arc that starts promisingly, dips during muddled early plot developments, then recovers significantly once the tournament begins. Critics consistently praised the diverse fighting styles and Roger Moore's performance, while finding the story derivative of Bloodsport and suffering from weak character development. The film peaks during the tournament sequences before settling into a standard but satisfying conclusion.
