Favorite guilty pleasure MA flick

[Xue Sheng]

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.

So basically you have the opening, a picture of Cynthia Rothrock pops on the screen and then the closing credits.... 5 to 10 minutes tops.... is that it

The Last Dragon

Sho Nuff!

ROFL.

Great minds think alike it seems. There are times without number where I have described a censored MA movie in just those terms:

'Titles
Opening Music
"Martial Law" Starring Cynthia Rothrock

...

Roll Credits' :lol:.

Wow...I didn't know that. That's ****ing ridiculous. Is that just for movies on TV or for DVD's and movies in theaters as well?

It differently is the best of the best, that is one of my all time favorite movies.

Yes, that is my favorite. I also like Jeff Speakman's 'The Perfect Weapon'.

Also, Kill and Kill Again and Kill or Be Killed.

Ah, good (bad) ones!

 

[KenpoTex]

speaking of Jeff Speakman...
I really like his movie The Expert. He's a lot nastier in this one than in his other ones and seeing Jim Varney (Ernest) play a "bad" guy is just...um...different.

 

[Sukerkin]

Tex, I can't speak as to whether the censorship aplied to the cinema scrren too for these movies as I don't think they ever had a theatrical release over here . The TV and video (this was pre-DVD days) offerings were the ones I speaking of.

10 seconds of Karate Kid, "sweep the leg."

Jim Varney was great! He got his start doing Shenandoah's Pride milk commercials. "Hey, Vern!"

For me it's any of the old "Zatoichi- the blind swordsman" movies. The Seven Samurai is another of my favorites, but since it's a classic I don't have to feel guilty about it.

Kung Pow is great! "I need gopher chucks!"

If we're going to get into the Samuai movies, you can't beat Shogun Assassin. Aside from all the wholesome violence, the little kid (the assassin's son) is absolutely hilarious :rofl:

My favorites:

Enter the Dragon
Revenge of the Ninja
Big Trouble in Little China

Don't know why, but I have to watch those. I have Enter the Dragon on DVD and Revenge of the Ninja on VHS.

 

[Andy Moynihan]

Gonna go with Bloodsport, Big Trouble in Little China, and the first Karate Kid.

Those are the ones I flip through and catch on TV and suddenly I HAVE to see them.

 

[Touch Of Death]

"9 1/2 Ninjas" is a friggin classic. I promise you it is the best time you will ever waste.

I still watch Zatoichi (the original one) every time it's on. I love Samurai Satrurdays on IFC!

???Is this a play on Mickey Rourke in 9 1/2 Weeks?

 

[theletch1]

Big Trouble in Little China is playing on FMC right now. Since it's been mentioned in this thread a few times I gotta watch it again. Thanks guys, there goes any work I was gonna get done in the shop tonight.

 

[Hand Sword]

Yep and it's a triple play! So, there goes my studying and night--LOL!

Oh my, Speakman has ANOTHER movie? This I have to see!

To redfang -- I love the first karate kid movie when the "bad guy" teacher shoves the student down! Haha! No defeat in here!

Why, yes it is.
