80s/90s martial arts movies

Gymkata

Awesome!!!!

Steven Seagal went off the rails after under siege 2. I loved the earlier American ninja movies and anything by Sho Kosugi. I also enjoyed The Substitute and some of the sequels. I had a friend sit through The Last Dragon a few years back. I now watch these movies by myself.

good sir, i challenge you to name a better one!

Sorry Jarrod, I meant I liked that one. Your right it was, but I enjoyed it.

 

[Big Don]

I find it funny Seagal made a movie called Pistol Whipped, which, he surely should be for continuing to make movies...

 

[Marginal]

there is more than one of those? I remember the 1st one (only one i knew about) where they fought against Korea and James Earl Jones was the coach

Some memorable scenes in the later ones. Like kicking a fork balanced on a counter top to take out a home invader...

You missed No Retreat, No Surrender, The Punisher (Dolph Lundgren version), 3 Ninjas, and Beverly Hills Ninja.

 

[Aiki Lee]

the last dragon is, in my humble opinion, simply the finest blaxploitation kung fu movie produced in 1987.

For those of you haven't heard, The Last Dragon has been slated for a remake with Samuel L. Jackson as Sho NUff. At least that's what I read in MA Proffessional.

Oh, and if you want the worst, absolute WORST martial arts film with an early 90s feel to it you must watch...SURF NINJAS!!!

Don't forget a western martial movie, called the fighter. It stars some French savate guy I never heard of.

 

[Mauthos]

American Shaolin -Funny but with some good Martial Arts in it

 

[RTKDCMB]

You missed No Retreat, No Surrender, The Punisher (Dolph Lundgren version), 3 Ninjas, and Beverly Hills Ninja.

No Retreat, No Surrender - one of Van Damme first movies. I forgot there was a Dolph Lundgren version of the Punisher.

I'm surprised given the age and number of contribution to this thread that no one's suggested a steady diet of Wu-Tang Clan in between viewing sessions. So, I will. Yes, load up on the 36 Chambers and do it right!
