Straight Blast Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 ONG BAK by Tony Jaa No stunt, no wires, no computer, REAL MUAY THAI (unlike Kick Boxer by Van dame) this movie makes all other martial art movies look fake and corny.that movie is the best,the main character was ALL him..jumping over cars to leaping and spin kicking everyone with his knee's. One of the best movies ive seen,except the movie budget is horrible..some stunt doubles looked so fake from the actors.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrideampPoise Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 My favorites that come to mind, in no particular order: Enter the Dragon Return of the Dragon The Chinese Connection The Last Samurai The Karate Kid Rush Hour The Matrix 1 and 2 Lone Wolf McQuade Forced Vengeance Under Siege I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. I know some of those aren't the greatest technical examples of martial arts. Some do, but for others, its just more the way they portray the arts. The Karate Kid is one of those.

1kickKO Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Is the Last Samurai as good as everybody says it is? I still have yet to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzshin Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 las samurai is really not bad. However of all the main actors in the movie, I think only the guy that playing main supporting actor (forgot his name in the movie, the one that almost chop Tom Cruise' head off, and sparing Tom Cruise in the movie) really know the Japanese sword art. He is actually a very famouse actor in Japan. If I remeber correctly, he used to play and was famous of playing Ninja in ninja Movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrideampPoise Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I like it moreso for the way it portrays the arts as opposed to the technical realisim. But I also like the swordplay, though admittedly I'm not an expert. Ken Watanabe is the main supporting actor. He was nominated for an Oscar, but did not win. I'm not sure if he had any training prior to the movie. According the official website, a couple of the others have studied some Karate, but the only one it offers any detail on is Shin Koyamada, who plays Nobutada, Katsumoto's (Watanabe) son. It says he has a black belt in Karate, and has also studied Kung Fu. It also says he competed and won some tournaments with the "Harmonious Fist Chinese Athletic Association".

krzychicano Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 The last samurai rocks! My son can sit and watch that movie all day if I let him.

kzshin Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Ken Watanabe is the main supporting actor. He was nominated for an Oscar, but did not win. No, I am not talking about him, in fact he is almost like a main character. I am talking about the guy who played, Kyo, or Ukyo, (I forget the name, but it's somthing similar to that). The guy that really really hate Tom Cruise at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
