too sweet is the main character and midnight thud is the bad guy martial arts using crack smoking midget

friggin fantastic movie...

hell, the perfect weapon against professor toru tanaka....hell yeah

a reply to: Grovit

damn!! I almost mentioned revenge of ninja. And YES! anything sho kosugi !!!

I like Dudikoff movies. American Ninja got me into his stuff. American Ninja 2 has an awesome theme song. I can enjoy just about any of his films. RIP Steve James. That guy should have/would have been the next big guy for that scene if cancer didn't take him too early. waaaay too early.

What about Decascos films. Drive is enjoyably B level. Maybe A minus material.

Dare I go there but Sidaris? Hard Ticket To Hawaii, Picasso Trigger and my favorite Return to Savage Beach.

Whats your favorite MA film period though? For me I would say the Raid 2, followed by the raid 1. As a silat Kali man I m a bit biased though.

a reply to: Grovit


Blood and Bone is fantastic. "They call him bones.....uhhh....Cause ....thats what his momma named him!..."

Black Dynamite!!!! THat movie should be on a pedestal.

Showdown in Little Toyko??? Any time Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa is in a movie I'll be watching.

i love mark descasos..got started with only the strong.
you dont see capoeira too often...

i cant nail down a favorite because it changes...i have a soft spot for mma movies...

there is a fairly new one called 'warrior' with tom hardy that is one of the best..

in the 80's i was all about ninja's for sure...

for me all time periods are great..

i love the ip man series with donny yen.....they were fantastic.

anything dealing with wong fei hung...there are lots. jackie chan and jet li have done several.

for now, i think my current favorite martial arts movie is true legend....that movie hits hard man.
its got a master of the 5 deadly venoms...its got the wushu master turned drunkard so, the drunken boxer.

he hallucinates training on a mountain with an old sage and the god of wushu....

if you have not seen it i think it is important enough that you should watch it today....trust me

www.imdb.com...

really only wong fei hung....of course ip man too but thats about it.

i get more into the actors backgrounds themselves....

jackie chan, yuen woo ping, and sammo hung for example.
those guys had it rough man...growing up in the chinese opera school....it was no joke for them.

i became fascinated with wong fei hung a long time ago.

just a martial arts junkie...even the old school hoaky ass ones like shaolin vs wu tang...theyre fantastic

NINJA ACADEMY.

I dare you to sit through more than 30 minutes of it. IT's that terrible. it's literally unwatchable. The sound track alone could be used in guantanamo.

a reply to: BASSPLYR

i will pass on this...
still though, its got gerald okimura

he was one of the wing kong in big trouble in little china

also played Foo in Return to Savage Beach. He mostly does the cliche angry japanese guy who responds to every question with a frustrated growl of some sort.

Seriously it's a painful film (ninja academy)

Ever seen Dacascos american samurai or crying freeman?
