I met Benny Urquidez in 1978 when I was in the USA on my exploratory trip to that country's martial arts situation.
When I met Benny he was working between professional matches as a full contact instructor at a centre bearing his name, the “Jet Centre” in Los Angeles, a beautiful gym he had opened with a developer friend and with his brother Arnold who, in 1976, founded the World Karate Association (WKA) together with Howard Hanson.
Benny absorbed everything without flinching, but he kept on inching closer to his opponent, and when he could he attacked, mostly with punches.

Supposedly Urquidez was told it was a 3 round exhibition match, then after three rounds the promoters wanted them to go another round.
Then after 4 rounds judges declared Jackson the winner and Urquidez was mad cause he was told that it was and exhibition and the promoters wouldn't let the fight go to a fifth round.
I'm inclined to believe Urquidez is right about this one cause Jackson was relatively unknown and Urquidez tried on several occasions to get a rematch but each time Jackson declined.

But don't try to misinform the public by saying that Benny was an undefeated World Champion in the ring who beat all of his ring challengers.
And Benny, regardless of his possible record questions, was one of the top fighters of his day.

The finale against Benny is also a disappointment, as having seen both of them battle people like Jackie Chan and Sammo so impressively, they really should have put more effort in.
Richard pulls a few nice kicks, but Benny looks a bit fat and even older than his far more impressive outing 7 years later in 'Enter the Eagles'.

This film was the first of two films which paired star Jackie Chan against former professional kickboxing champion Benny Urquidez (the other being Dragons Forever).
This could be attributed to Urquidez's lack of experience in "movie fighting" at the time, considering that normally when he fought it was in full-contact matches.
At one point in the final Chan/Urquidez battle, a spin-kick by Urquidez is so fast that the wind from it blows out a series of candles.
