Best martial arts movies

Page 3 of 3

Iron Monkey (Tiet ma lau) 1993, with Donnie Yen and amazing classic Kung Fu martial artists directed by Yuen Wo-Ping

Flash Point 2007, again Donnie but showing off MMA moves.

Raging Fire 2021, again Donnie, but now with a mix of crazy gunfights and 'practical' weapons.

He's basically a MA god who's reinvented himself many times for film, but my ultimate movie is Saat Po Long, S.P.L. (2005) with Donnie, Sammo and Wu Jing more or less in their 'prime' and the alltime greatest 1v1 knive fight.

I really liked The Raid films and the Kill Bill films.

I have a lot of nostalgia for the various Jackie Chan movies from the 90s too.

Bloodsport, Kickboxer and Hard Target are the top three.

I saw earlier actually that Mortal Kombat are going to make a JCVD skin for Johnny Cage, who was based on him.

For me it’s Death Warrant, Bloodsport and Timecop

Did you see that Karl Urban is being lined up to play Johnny Cage?

that hurts me just looking at it.

could honestly quote the qhole script for Bloodsport. Must have watched it easy well over 60/70 times as a kid

Same. It’s such a quotable movie.

All these years later, when me and an old friend say ‘not yet’ one of us will say it like a young Frank Dux.

Rob, I did see some rumours.

A few other facts:

the game mortal kombat was based on Bloodsport

the arcade game Dux and Jackson were playing on the old arcade you can get for your phone.

They didnt hire any stunt people , everything that you seen was performed byt the actors.

The Muay Thai guy in the film that Dux beats was an genuine Muay Thai world champ.
