Martial Arts Movies?

Whats your favorite MA movie(s)?
I have to admit I'm a Steven Seagal fan. I think I like "Hard to Kill" the most.
A couple of my favorite scenes:
He treats himself with acupuncture
He punches the makiwara so hard he knocks it out of the ground.
I also like the scene in his movie "On Deadly Ground" where he gets into the hand slapping contest with the big oil worker...then punches him in the belly so hard the guy ends up puking on the ground. Classic!

Good topic - as movie watching season approaches us here in the Mid-West Mast Hawk.

Tough to beat any SS movie!

It's been a long time since I viewed it but one I like is "Lone Wolf McQuade". Chuck Norris plays a Texas Ragner and teams up w/an FBI agent to track down a bad guy. Big show down between Chuck Norris (Karate) and David Carradine (Kung Fu).

A good one for the Halloween season with a bit of a scary twist is another Norris Movie - Silent Rage. From way back in early 80's.

Google wont even search for Chuck Norris because it knows that you don't find Chuck Norris - He finds you!

Sun!

Lone Wolf McQuade was just on the other day and I watched it. He's drinking Pearl Beer all the time. He also has that Dodge Ramcharger with the nitros oxide. I really get a kick out of that. I think Silent Rage also has Bill Wallace in it. Lots of good MA in that one too.

I forgot about the N20. That made me chuckle. We need to rig our F-150's up with some of that stuff.

And - Pearl beer...
Could go for one of those - after class of course. Really enjoyed that 4 minute warm-up. Pure pleasure that includes a 2 minute jog followed by 30 seconds of push-ups, then 30 seconds of sit-ups, then 30 more seconds of push-ups, and finally 30 seconds of leg raisers. Heard a lot of positive comments from the other students too. Great warm-up.

You got my juices flowing on this MA movie thing. So many classics out there. I may have to line a couple up for the weekend. Maybe a little Van Dammage!

I must confess a weakness for the old Jackie Chan movies. The fight scenes with Benny 'the Jet' Urquidez in "Wheels on Meals" and "Dragons Forever" keep me bobbing and ducking in my seat. And also the ones in "Gorgeous" with Brad Allen and the roof scene in "Who Am I".

I know this doesn't qualify as a movie, but I really enjoy the show "Bully Beatdown". They really come up with some characters on there.
