Cheesy 80s/early 90s martial arts movies.


Recommended Posts

I have to throw this one out there - Hillary Swank in The Next Karate Kid.

The greatest scene is when she's doing kata in the temple to the music of the Cranberries on a jam box. Then when the monks come in to the temple, she turns off the stereo - they turn it back on and start doing their own kata to the music of the Cranberries!

Top 10 greatest film moment ever!

In the 80's, they discovered that people enjoyed full contact karate. So maybe they'd like movies w/ world champions in them. Anthony Elmore (who? you ask) that's right. The "Amp" himself made one of the worst straight video flix ever. I know, cuz I rented it. Cuz if it had martial arts in it in the 80's I'd rent it :D

i remember back in the early 80's with the saurday afternoon kungfu movie of the week matinee feature.that opening title song was pretty cool.it was like,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah ,yeah,yeah,yeah,yah,and then played this romantic ballad type music with the horn and stuff.that was on channel 5 in ny every saturday at 12 in the afternoon.

then,usa network came out with usa's kung fu theatre and they'd have ancient buddhist and confucious manuscripts before going to commercial breaks.
