Favorite Martial Arts Movie?

New or old?


I gotta go with Kickboxer, Bloodsport is more popular but I find KB superior.

That's a tough comparison though. Both are great. Actually, I really enjoyed a lot of 80's MA movies as a kid but obviously the king of movies was 3 ninjas kick back.

As a kid I had those + Lionheart on a VHS that was recorded off of the TV. Watched those movies so many times.

If I had to pick, I would probably be Chinese Connection with Bruce Lee though (I think it's "Fists of Fury" every outside of America though). The one where his teacher is poisoned and he goes on an ass kicking spree. I fuking LOVED Van Damme movies back in the day though. I'm pretty sure I prefer Bloodsport over Kickboxer.

Honestly it's...Cobra Against Ninja, even though that's a stupid take. Just ridiculously bad in every way.

Barring the idiot choice, Enter the Ninja would be my other #1 (Revenge is really good, Domination was pretty ****ing stupid though), Enter the Dragon a close second, and then Bloodsport, The Last Dragon, and Drunken Master. I've seen Chinese Connection/Fists of Fury and The Big Boss so many times I really would rather watch something else, even though they're the gold standard of Hong Kong martial arts movies.

Comedy option: Street Fighter and/or Double Dragon

Why haven't they made a comeback? Movies like Bloodsport and KickBoxer are movies thst definitely can pump any red blooded male up. Talking about the type of MA movies where you can actually follow what's going on.

Enter the Dragon for serious martial arts movie. Bruce Lee is not a great actor though. Way of the Dragon was overall only okay but the fight with Chuck Norris in the Colosseum was fantastic.

For comedy it's Operation Condor. Great movie. Good martial arts and hilarious too.

After defeating Tong Po, Kurt had avenged his brother Eric's loss & injury. So his work was completed. I imagine he got a regular job & got fat and had kids with Mylee.

From wuxia obviously swordsman 2, thou I always had a thing for the Fire Dragon, “tai chi master” is a classic also. of course all of these movies are to be watched in original language with the original soundtrack, not the Hollywood butchery,



from kung fu movies, fist of legend, but not the original, but the jet li remake is 1000 times better,

Western martial arts movies are mostly just to laugh at how bad they are, I guess bloodsport would be a good example, fun, and terrible.

From older kung fu movies, there are some good fights in some of them, like Shaolin Temple strikes back, that one will have some ridiculous dropkicks, wall springs, and other completely insane kicks performed often without wires.

There are still coming out but most aren't that great and don't reach mass popularity, it's now a niche genre.
