Review of Only the Strong (1993) by Matt M — 05 Jul 2007
THE GREATEST CAPOEIRA MOVIE EVER MADE! Ok, so as far I know it's the only capoeira movie ever made, but it's still pretty amazing. Mark Dacascos plays a former Green Beret who picked up some nifty capoeira moves while stationed in Brazil.
He returns home to Miami to find his alma mater consumed by gang violence and apathy, so he convinces the principal to allow him to teach capoeira to the roughest kids in the school. You can pretty much fill in the rest of the story.
If you have a sweet spot for canned dialogue, bad acting, and cheesy montages, then you'll love Only The Strong.
