Awesomely bad MA movies

No Surrender, No Retreat.

Tang Soo Do kid crazy over Bruce Lee is trained by his ghost then beats up Van Damme
 
the American Ninja series
Enter the Ninja
anything with Chuck Norris
anything with Steven Segal, esp. Exit Wounds *snicker snicker*
anything with Van Dam
 
I need to ammend the rules a little: :)

Really good fight scenes but questionable story....
or really cheap productions. The more obscure the better!

From the kiddy section:
3 little ninjas
3 little ninjas kick back.
 
The original Mortal Kombat. Loved it as a kid and watched it the other day without many expectations but was pretty impressed. Not bad action at all.

Kung Fu Hustle. (just good stuff)
 
I love seeing these old threads for the first time.

Could anything possibly match....Gymkata?

Five Fingers of Death. If I remember it correctly, there's a fight scene where a guy gets his eyes gouged out and they showed two ping-pong balls bouncing on the floor.
 
The Purifiers.

It's "the Warriors" in a dystopian modern Scotland. Gangs have formed around martial arts styles (really). The guys we're supposed to root for supposedly are TKD stylists. Watch and you tell me how much of that is TKD.

Dominic Monaghan is in it. Yes, that dude from "Lost" and "Lord of the Rings". Also stars Kevin McKidd as the big bad.

I cannot recommend this film highly enough for the general martial arts hijinks that ensue. Really awful, but hilariously so.
 
I agree with most everything above: Gymkata, Chuck Norris, Steven Segal, the last dragon, the American Ninja series.. .

A couple I would add:

Jeff Speakman's "The Perfect Weapon"


Cynthia Rothrock's China O'Brien series



and maybe Ernie Reyes Jr's "Surf Ninjas"
