need i say more?

his performance on letterman as a coked out maniac was a "triumph"...as they say in luvvie circles!

Take your pick of any sho kosugi movie I'm thinking maybe revenge of the ninja.OOOh now you got me thinking, get ready for some real obscure sh*t
now
Mick this is gonna be great
Karl

and fred ward or joel grey don't count!

i'm leaning towards lorenzo lammas at the moment too
c'mon people vent spleen x

Yeah no pickin on Fred and Joel they rock .Might ave t shirts made of them
Can anyone remember the australian killing machine called Eddie Stazack who made 2movies mid 80's called "day of the panther" and "revenge of the panther" which was out like a week later .totaly awesome mate

eddie staczack.....remember i keep all my old mags!
yeah man he was one badass bread thief!
i'll dig out that copy of combat for you mate!
i was looking through some of the old issues from the '80s
remember gymkata....with that gymast kurt or kyle something??
and my fave actor in a martial arts movie?
gotta be jack burton and the pork chop express!!

Don't forget what Jack Burton says "What the hell" and that's better than a five demon bag.
What about the entire cast of the last dragon 'SHO NUFF ( the shogun of harlem) and Tiamak

michael dudikof from american ninja.
films were ok, however the acting was a tad erm..... well yeah

and steve james as curtis jackson.

I agree with mick and jack burton, was watching big trouble in little china the other night and its still absolutely cracking.

" I'm not scared at all. I just feel kind of... feel kind of invincible. "

" When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

Nice call on american ninja totally forgot about those.I'm off to practice the kuji kiri or was it the kobidera.Thats bound to come in handy

As someone has mentioned Gymkata, I thought I'd put this on here as it really is a piece of priceless movie action

Any one remember Hapkido master Bong Soo Han in the Kentucky Fried Movie
