The best MA movie is the Perfect Weapon Staring Jeff Speakman. Awesome movie awesome Martial Artist and the fights are coriographed by the Late Senior Grand Master Edmond. K. Parker the Farther of American Karate.

 

I like most MA movies but anything to do with Kenpo Karate is my passion being a Kenpo stylest myself.

 

interesting fact: In Dragon the Bruce Lee Life story the Compatition Mr. Lee entered was the Long Beach international Hosted By mr Parker. in the Movie Mr. Parker was Played by Mr. Edmond Parker Junior (his son)

I usually dislike karate films but I loved SUPERCOP. I enjoyed the whole film but that ending action sequence is just the best ever!

Some of my favorites (in no particular order):

 

"The One" (with Jet Li)

"Bulltproof Monk" (Chow Yun Fat)

"The Replacement Killers" (Chow Yun Fat)

"Hard Target" (van Damme)

anything with Chuck Norris

 

Tina,

I definitely agree about "Under Siege". But any movie with Gary Busey and Tommy Lee Jones as bad guys is bound to be good! :) :)

"Enter the Dragon" was the best in the kung-fu genre I'd have to say, though "Dragon" was a much better flick - I consider it more of a docudrama than an action movie.

[DixonHill1989 0]

Any Bruce Lee movie.

Dragon was a total Farse.

 

Yes I know that its Dramatic licence and I have no problem with it.

My Objection is to the Long beach scene.

the people in the front row did not act like Kenpo Stylests. They whore a Badge that I myself have worn and I know that the we are taught from the first to respect other Arts and there stylests. this gose double when there teacher is in the ring with the man they a jeering and allso Sifu Lee was a very good Friend with Master Parker.

Would you mind explaining that in a little more detail? I don't remember the film that well now (I haven't seen it in a long, long time) and so your comments were a bit vague. Also, what badge are you referring to - can you post a link to an example? Were the people in that scene supposed to be Kenpo practitioners?

 

At any rate, this is one of the only martial arts films I've seen with half-decent acting. If I want to see completely authentic martial arts etiquette, I'll go to a dojo and practise or go and see a competition, not go to the cinema.

"Dragon" is a different film. It's a biography (drama) of Bruce Lee's rise to fame and he is played by Scott Lee in the film. Naturally it also contains quite a few scenes featuring martial arts.

 

I think it's a really good movie. I really like Bruce Lee films because he had such a strong presence and knew how to get the most out of a shot. He was not only a great martial artist, but a fine actor. And yet, I still think even those movies are slightly cheezy since the characters are portrayed in so painfully simple a manner as either pure good guys or villains.

OH Dragon:The bruce lee story starring Jason Scott lee

 

Oh ok..Thats an ok movie..Not as Martial Art oriented but more Biographical(or both)

[LordOfTheBorg 1]

its biographical/karate. But it is slighlty blurry and bad sound. ive seen it.

[Tina 0]

At least there is not BAD DUBBING

 

::shivers::

[LordOfTheBorg 1]

i know, i hate that. its so annoying when theyre saying "how would you like to have tea with me" while they're in a fight!

[Tina 0]

This reminds me of a Scene in kung Pow:Enter the fist

[VaBeachGuy 12]

I would have to agree with Enter the Dragon.

 

I would also say that Dragon was a very good movie also.

[gul_nodrog 2]

Karate Kid (the first one, not the following posers).

 

I guess this wouldn't really count, but I loved "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Not really karate-themed, but still way cool with everyone running through the trees and across rooftops. Plus, that Chow Yun Fat (don't laugh, I can't spell worth beans!) .... yummm.

"Enter the Dragon" is one of my favorite films. I like Bruce Lee's MA style,and his mastery of various weapons, though I'm not a MA student. I would like to learn, someday. I love Bruce's yell! I also like Adrian Paul, of "Highlander" TV series. That sword -katana? -fighting rocks! I also like the bo staff. Pretty awesome, IMO.

I definitely agree. Enter the Dragon is the epitome of martial arts movies. Anything with Bruce Lee is great.
