THE QUEST. 1996

Directed by & starring Jean Claud Van Damme, The Quest is set unconvincingly in the 1920s, taking place largely in a hidden city in Tibet which is something of a cultic martial arts capital.

Monks spread out through the civilized world looking for violent guys to whom to reveal the whereabouts of the secret city. Such fellows must find their way to the hidden city through great hardships, then beat the crap out of each other.

Pretty thin as stories go, it's just an excuse for some martial arts encounters. It comes way to close to being the same film van Damme's had already done & done better, Bloodsport (1987).
