I just saw a commercial for the Karate Kid, it's going to be on ESPN Classic on Sunday night. The commercial got me to thinking. The Karate Kid is the reason I love martial arts so much. I believe it's to my generation what Bruce Lee is to the previous generation. It made me want to learn karate. Thank you Daniel LaRusso!

OMG. it could be very true.

I'm ashamed to say Kickboxer 1 did it for me.

Who starred in that? There's so many movies that seem so similar that it's hard to keep them all straight. The American Ninja series did alot for my MA addiction also. Michael Du***off was my hero!

The guy that got crippled in that movie is a fellow local boy of Hawaii, and kickboxing champion. His name, dare I mention it for I am not worthy is none other than Dennis Alexio. He is the ****ing man.

Karate Kid 1 owned, but like Vulgar, it was kickboxer 1 that did it for me.

Its funny though, now that I know more about martial arts, I watch thoses movies and laugh. Just like if you know about thing about a sharks, Jaws is funny. I know more about martial arts, so movies like kick boxer and bloodsport make me laugh.

I think it was various Chuck Norris and American Ninja movies.

The kareta kid is the one and only reason I started practicing martial arts, which lead me to wrestling and basketball.
The karate kid opened the world of physical activities for me, sniff. That movie pumped me up back then, and even up to this day, everytime I watch it I have to go work out afterwards.

Kickboxer was pretty ****en cool in the day.
Larusso was, and alwasy will be a whiny, skinny kid that got beaten on by the toughs...in reality, he would still be getting it.

Dennis Alexio from Kickboxer 1 was pretty good in his time. But Stan Longinidis broke his leg 7 seconds into a fight they had in Melbourne in the early 90's with one of the best leg kicks ever!

All the guys mentioned are OK but, fact is, they'd be all owned by this gentleman:
