Is there a martial arts flick that you can't but watch. Either cuz it's so bad or that good?

For me, it's Sho Kosugi's "Ninja 3: The Domination". Don't know why, but I like it. It's just that odd.

I can't tell you how many times I've watched "Showdown in Little Tokyo," it isn't good at all, but it is fun.

I watch it because of both the bad and the good.

The bad... the acting and the storyline.

The good (make that great)... the park scene with Master Bong Soo Han.

Just can't help myself.

OH YEAH!!!

I can't resist Drunken Master

But just about any Jackie Chan film gets me to stop and watch and now Jackie Chan and Jet Li (Tai Chi Master) are doing a movie together... I guess I will be spending a lot of time watching movies :D

Not only are they doing a film together it is about Sun Wukung. Its sort of like icing on the icing on the cake.

Like Tex, I am a big fan of Cynthia Rothrock movies - or at least I was. It's been a while because I stopped getting them once the British censors blade started to snicker-snack all the martial arts bits out of the movies :(.

5 Fingers of Death (1973)
The English dubbed version, released through Warner Brothers, was the film that launched the craze for "kung fu" movies in the United States.
Also see elderly Chinese with a vertical leap of over ten feet, if only they had heard about The Olmypics or the NBA.
:wink:

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002)
The true chosen one!
Narrator ...I mean that doesn't seem possible with all those body organs and cartilage and bones. I mean I'm no doctor but that was like one clean chunk.

Aye, I know :(. basically, if it involved martial arts weaponry, head-butts, neck-breaks et al then it got cut out.

I suppose these days, now we're all internetty, I could buy DVD's from abroad of the original cuts.
