Don "the Dragon" Wilson movies... lol. As a matter of fact.. i think all movies starred by an "all Star" cast of retired kickboxers are bad. lol

So far the only American Kickboxer that looks cool in movies is Benny Urquidez.

I agree with this. I have seen a couple of Don Wilson movies and the acting is awful.

Yeah, but it is like watching a Segal movie....you don't watch it for the acting. :)

My problem with the karatekid films:

Machio's character: trained non realistically with esoteric exercises with the only the testing shown as a few punches that were in no danger of hitting him, done singularly with no change in direction, angle or reach.

Cobra Kai; trained hard, fought hard, trained by fighting.

Who wins the silly point sparring match?

The ones who trained traditionally or the one who trained in a modern, non-realistic way?

It is my opinion that Karate Kid, the film, created mcdojos

There was a rash (& I mean that) of pro kickboxers in the 80's that made straight to video films that were awful. Not only Wilson, but Anthony "Amp" Elmore, Jerry Trimble, & even "Bad" Brad Hefton got his mug in at one that I saw.

Sad but true, I'm probably the only person (outside of their mommas) who watched em :D

As Bushidoman and Shotokan-Kez mentioned, there are good MA films with good fighting but bad acting.

My example would be The Kumite. The Martial Arts is incredible, someone creates a mixed style of Thai Boxing, Hung-Gar, and Wing Chun kung fu, they enter a tournament, etc. but the cheesy love story ruins it, I bought it to watch some MA's...not romance.
