    The Quest
    Reviewed by Scott Show

    A Russian body builder and a Japanese sumo wrestler fight. The sumo wrestler is as big as a hippo--and as slow as a slug. The Russian is as strong as 20 men--and as slow as a turtle. When they fight, the Russian punches the sumo in the stomach, and he shakes like a bowl full of jelly and falls down.

    The Quest is a movie about fighting. The main character is a man who is a street rat. His name is Christopher Dubois (Jean-Claude Van Damme). Two men discover him in the street, and they take him to an island. They make people train him to be a fighter. Then they take him to a secret island and enter him in a tournament. The winner gets a powerful golden dragon.

    An important part in the movie is when Chris turns against the people who trained him. Then he joins the U.S.A. team--and he wins the golden dragon.

    I think The Quest is a good movie if you like action. It's only rated PG.13. So I recommend it.
