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!
