No Retreat, No Surrender Movies: Release Order
The No Retreat, No Surrender trilogy consists of three completely standalone martial arts films that share no characters, storylines, or narrative continuity. Each movie features a different protagonist facing martial arts challenges, from a Bruce Lee-obsessed teenager in Seattle to estranged brothers seeking revenge.
While connected by consistent themes of underdog fighters, over-the-top villains, and energetic fight choreography, these films function as an anthology series rather than a traditional sequel franchise. The numbered titles are purely for marketing purposes, and you can watch them in any order without missing story elements.
