awesome MA movies

whats your fav MA movie. or even just a Ma movie you enjoyed that hasnt been mentioned.

watched once were warriors the other day. hadnt heard of it until it was mentioned on another thread. quite enjoyed it tbh

anyone have suggestions of movies to check out?

i know its an old one but i have always enjoyed 'best of the best' and my kids love the 'karate kid' stuff.

but i think my all time favorite is 'Enter the Dragon'

Best of the best rules for me also.
but also love China O' Brien

Could be because I had a crush on good old Cynthia, esp kicking ass in those skin tight jeans.

Ong Bak with Tonny Jaa a bit flashy but really good one.

best of the best great movie if your into the semi conatct scene .. tony jar is swesome so any of his stuff. Kickboxer van dam style was massive in the day and of course enter the dragon but my fav bruce lee film is fist of fury uncut...

ong bak was awesome.
im sure i heard about a sequel coming out for it

Cheesy I know, but I still really like 'The Last Dragon'.

If you've not seen it - do yourself a favour.

The Karate Kid movies got me into the martial arts. This was in the late eighties so the Kung Fu boom was 10 years old & it wasn't until I started training that I heard of Bruce Lee.

Star Wars - A New Hope. - Still a fantastic film! This was the film that got me into M.A, that and enter the dragon.

More recently Ong Bak.

Gotta love the cheesy Jackie Chan stuff too.

there is a second one with Tony Jaa called The warrior king.
Even more action in that, a bit of parkour style on it and a lot of Muay Boran, joint breaks and massive steroid freaks at the end.

Apart from the "Dragon" series by good ole Brucie baby

One I remember as a young martial artist was Nico.

I thought it was great at the time - I obviously know better now, but at least he was a Cop in that one and not a chef :-)

My favourite though is Tombstone - not alot of fighting in it but the underlying message and the entire Wyatt Earp story is inspirational.
If you want to hear about courage and down right guts in the face of overwhelming adversaries - have a delve into his story ;-)

I'll be your huckleberry x

I love Tombstone. Val Kilmers best role IMHO.

Why Doc - you're so drunk, you'l be seeing 2 of me

"Well - i hve two guns - one for each of ya"



beautiful

my best bit has to be the scene where Wyatt fights the cowboys across the stream and Doc explains to the guys why he is helping Wyatt when he is so poorly himself

"Wyatt is my friend"

The other guy replies

"Hell - I got lots of friends"

And Doc replies

"I don't"

Gets me everytime

Reminds me a little of my life to be honest - hence the mention on this thread

But watch the documentaries on Wyatt Earp's life - one of the only real wild west gun slingers to have made it through to the 20th century.
The fact that he wasn't a fast draw or a particularly talented fighter but he faced down everyone and took on any challenge is the impressive bit. Shows just what attitude and courage is all about.
This guy made himself infamous because he simply refused to give in to anyone and faced whatever was put in front of him. Never backed down or turned away.

That's a true martial artist - if you ask me

Ain't that the truth x

Just watched the yip man film with donnie yen. Bugger me its good if your into wing chun like me then the fight scenes are the best ever put onto film. And the film its self is very enjoyable to watch. Now wheres my dummy

Coming up in 2009
The Chuck Norris jeans are going to pale in comparison to these outfits ..... :-)
