The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Teen karate star Ted Jan Roberts was hoping to catch some of that Karate Kid fire with his Magic Kid movies and this one Tiger Heart. It's a pleasant enough family film that has a most ridiculous ending.Roberts is getting quite interested in Jennifer Lyons who helps out her closest living relative Rance Howard at his delicatessen. But developer Christopher Kriesa is buying up all the land around there and the businesses on them for a proposed mall. He's hired some thugs to do some old fashioned gangster intimidation.But of course they reckon without Roberts and his Dojo who of course in the end help him. I do think however the young prepubescent kids at the Dojo taking on some hoods was really too much.Still Tiger Heart is a good bit of family entertainment.

Now this is one utterly rancid turd of a movie if ever I've seen one!I've just got to say it outright; The teen hero in this flick is without doubt one of the most loathsome, irritating, cocky little pieces of excrement ever to (dis)grace the screen! For a classic example as to why, just check out the sequence where said idiot takes on some of the bad guys in a shop. Before administering a beat down to the gormless fools our man.....erm, sorry boy, utters what must surely rank as one of the most veritably cringe inducing smart ass speeches ever committed to celluloid. To paraphrase our dolt karate kid wannabe it goes something along the lines that there's two things he hates, flat sodas and guys with tattoos (the head thug has one down his neck) - well, suffice to say my anal nerve almost gave out upon hearing such a crap piece of dialogue! Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of bad movies but this flick was frankly too horrific to bear and please don't even get me started on the utterly jaw dropping, atrociously crappy title song - Goddamit - To call it tacky would be to compliment it unduly!Trust me on this, of all the Karate Kid rip offs I've ever seen, this my friends is without doubt the most mesmerisingly pitiful, nausea inducing, weightiest pile of faecal matter of the lot. Simply put, watch this flick and you to will guaranteed, feel the overwhelming violent compulsion to tear the hero's head from his scrawny body with your bare hands!

This movie is great for any teenage martial artists. Ted Jan Roberts is an extremely good martial artist, and deserves applause. His skill and ability surpass almost any martial artist his age. And as for the movie, it's awesome! He lives nicely with his family in California. He's a good kid looking to do all the right things. He meets a pretty girl, and shows his impressive skills all throughout the movie. The girl is incredibly attractive by the way. In the end he defeats the bad land developer and everything is good. Throghout the movie TJ fights at his dojo and shows his skills. He goes to a great party with tons of gorgeous girls around, and has to deal with a mean kid trying to attack him, he handles himself good and ends up alright. Great movie I recommend it to anyone.

Oh no. I sat down to watch this as part of a martial arts weekend on UK tv expecting a high-kicking swift fight-fest, after all it was on at 11oClock at night! I was so horrified when I watched it - but like a car wreck I couldn't stop looking. There is nothing good about this - please avoid it like the plague.Even if someone tells you it's so bad it's good - don't believe them - run for the hills and don't stop till you're sure it can't find you.
