Or maybe he did not hump the rail, maybe the gravitational pull of his loins moved the entire world closer to his groin?

Point in case of two great martial artists but two less than great actors: Tadashi Yamashita AND Chuck Norris. Although I gotta say the final fight scene could've been a little more bad @$$.. .

Personally, I think Tadashi Yamashita was better in American Ninja vs. Michael Dudikoff (who I'm not sure was a martial artist at the time).

You too have likely been put on Chuck's short list...... running will do no good.... best, as I said before to SahBumNimRush , wait for the the inevitable... becasue I am betting running will only make it worse

lol, I don't run. It's against my religion!

Precisely! Awesomely bad 80's and 90's "Martial Arts" movies! It's these types of movies that brought thousands to the marital arts in the states back then (I'm not sure that a realistic depiction of the martial arts would've made at the box office for the untrained masses). I remember hearing it all the time in the training hall from the instructors, "this isn't the movies, <insert any of thousands of lessons here>"

Karate Kid is what made me want to start training. I quickly learned that the crane kick didn't work the way Daniel San used it.. .

That said, I still love them, fantastical, nonsensical, flashy and all!

Although, your statement got me thinking, does anyone know of any martial arts movies that are more accurate in the depiction of martial arts? Or are they all based in fantastical/ impractical fight choreography? I know there are movies that hit, more or less, to the heart of the philosophical aspects, but are there any that realistically depict the physical? IMHO, there aren't, at least not that I know of, since the reality of fighting isn't pretty or graceful.
