Recently been bingeing some of the best (and worst) martial arts movies on Tubi (a really good free streaming app).
For me here are some of the best ones I’ve seen over the years.
The Best of the Best
Bloodsport
Ong Bak
The Raid (the second one is epic though)
Way of the Dragon
Armour of God
Police Story
Out for Justice (Seagal’s early stuff was damn good entertainment)
Drunken Master
Romeo Must Die (not great but god I miss Aaliyah)
Perfect Weapon
Any other ones you love?

I’m rewatching all the Van Damme movies this month (gonna stop at around 2000 as really shiiiit after that).
Sudden Death last night. Always remembered it being semi decent but was literally trash.

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?

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.
