What is your favorite american karate film??


Recommended Posts

It's not really set in America, I think, but I really enjoyed Transporter. Jason Statham is a heck of a martial artist. I liked the first film better than the second, though the reviewers thought otherwise.

Interesting question. I recently did some more research on Statham, and it appears he's had a mixture of training, but in his words, he's "never achieved rank." He's pretty vague on his MA background in interviews, but it seems he has studied TKD. He was an Olympic diver in '92, so that is likely where he gets much of his athleticism.

I prefer the first movie as well, even though it was not only set outside of America, it was MADE in France, haha. Still a good movie.

I'd say Legend of drunken master. The directing style is all hollywood, not hong kong.
