Favorite Martial Arts Movie?!?

[tko4u]

Okay, it has probably been on here more than once, but I was wondering since all kinds of new people on here, why not ask,

What is your #1 Favorite Martial Arts Movie of ALL TIME? (Please one only)


Mine is probably Bloodsport. I saw it as a kid and fell in love, we rented the video so many times we wore the tape out!

[Kwanjang]

The Octogon

[MA-Caver]

All due respect, use the search feature for Martial Art Movie and you'll probably find about two dozen separate topics on it. :wink2:

[tko4u]

Right, but as I said, new people on here have new opinions. just curious

[qwksilver61]

Hey! Sonny Chiba "The Streetfighter" rocks.

[stickarts]

Theres no way I could pick just one. I like several such as Enter the Dragon, Bloodsport, and The Last Dragon. Also the end fight scenes in Game of Death.

[Brian S]

Any of the old Chuck Norris films, first three Segal films, Van damme films, and the Karate kid 1-3

[tko4u]

I am actually rewatching best of the best 1 now, I forgot how good it was. Phillip Rhee was pretty good

[Cirdan]

Just watched The Hidden Kingdom with Jackie and Jet. Loved it, definately one of the best I`ve seen.

[tko4u]

really, a lot of the people I talked to said that they thought it would have been better.

guess I will have to watch it myself

[Kwanjang]

Do any of you , Ahem..."older MAst" Remember Kill or be Killed, amd the sequel, Kill and Kill again? it was made in like, 1980 or 81

[Christina05]

bloodsport maybe only because that's what i watched today lol.

[Mimir]

It is hard to choose a single movie, but my all time favorite is "Big Trouble In Little China"

[Hyper_Shadow]

Seven Samurai, the ultimate classic.

[BrandonLucas]

It's hard to pick just one movie out of all the awesomeness that's out there...so I'll have to just go on the my favorite as far as sentimental value....

Gymkata.

That was the first one I actually sat all the way through, and then tried to figure out how to make a punching bag out of pillows so that I could train to be a martial artist and save the world. First time I saw it, it came on TBS right after Iron Eagle II on a Saturday afternoon.

Without question it is The 36th Chamber of Shaolin.

[Daniel Sullivan]

Lots of good ones, picking just one is tough, but I'll go with my old standby, Showdown in Little Tokyo with Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee.

My favorite MA movie is Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. Heck, it's probably my favorite movie, period and - unlike the vast majority of MA flicks - it's actually a GOOD movie!

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Beautiful cinematography; lyrical and unbearably poignant, heartbreakingly sad story, and the unmatchable Michelle Yeoh... what more could anyone ask for?

[celtic_crippler]

"The Perfect Weapon" with Jeff Speakman.

[shihansmurf]

"The Perfect Weapon" with Jeff Speakman.

Gotta echo this one, although I still have a soft spot for the Sho Kosugi ninja flicks of the early eighties.

Enter the Smurf

[HM2PAC]

Another vote for "Big Trouble In Little China".

[bostonbomber]

Man, I can't believe I'm the only one that voted for a Shaw Brothers flick!

[Em MacIntosh]

Shaolin vs. Lama, an old one.

[IcemanSK]

I have many favorites. Today, I'd say "Remo Williams."

[Yew]

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Beautiful cinematography; lyrical and unbearably poignant, heartbreakingly sad story, and the unmatchable Michelle Yeoh... what more could anyone ask for?
In comparision with other wuxia movies it was amateurish and didn't deserve an award. People who were more familiar with the wuxia genre said so and would have preferred Swordsman 1 or 2,Bride with white hair or Fong Sai Yuk.

Tai chi master also had michelle yeoh and the same choreographer Yuen Woo Ping and it was 4 times better than Crouching tiger. :D

[Josh Oakley]

"Hunted" W/ Tommy Lee jones and Benicio Del Toro. The knife fighting was top notch.

Best of the Best

Oh, so many to choose from... what an evil question. I think I would have to say "Legend of Drunken Master" mostly because I love action comedies, and that movie has some excelent stuntwork, and the acting was much better than some MA movies out there. I agree that bloodsport is a great movie, one of Van Damm's best in my opinion, and I will happily watch any Bruce Lee or Jet Lee movie. Though I still need to see Ong Bak (I know I am a terrible and deprived person) But overall "Legend of Drunken Master" is a movie I just truly enjoy.
