According to this Guide Picks I found at Jameshom.com {link is at the bottom}, the following are the Ten Most Influential Martial Arts Movies ever made.

*Enter the Dragon
*Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
*Seven Samurai
*The Karate Kid
*Billy Jack
*Five Fingers of Death
*The Matrix
*Rumble in the Bronx
*Enter the Ninja
*Good Guys Wear Black

Critters?...

Enter the dragon (What a shock!)

I think that list is great for "influential" but not the BEST movies for martial arts. those are two different things to rate a martial arts movie on.

Enter the dragon

Can anybody tell me what enter the ninja was? It sounds familiar. Was that Sho Kosugi?

Best is that Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris Movie.

enter the ninja was a film starring franco nero if im not mistaken.i seen it when i was a kid and thought it was rapid.how good it was really(action wise) i cant say.its main star was a serious actor with minimal training so that says a lot!
i much preferred "sanjuro"and "yojimbo"to 7samurai but i wouldnt say they were great ma films.they were character driven movies.a much better film for action is "shogun assassin",theres some great action/technique in that.

Enter the Dragon
Return of the Dragon
Bloodsport
The Octagon

*Ironlife eZine :luvbed:

that's a good list for most influential. Of that list I'm really only a fan of Seven Samurai, Karate Kid, Enter the Dragon, and Rumble in the Bronx. I didn't care for The Matrix and was disappointed with Crouching Tiger and Billy Jack.

Haven't seen the others.

A couple other favorites of Jackie Chan:

Jui kuen (1978) aka Drunken Master (original) with Jackie Chan (1978): http://imdb.com/title/tt0080179/combined

I also have a soft spot in my heart for those shitty Kickboxer direct-to-video sequels...

The HL vid i made of Tito Ortiz gettin whooped Is deffinatly the best... Can you guys check around and see if anyone has it??

Bloodsport and Kickboxer.

martial arts is far from my favorite genre. If this was a westerns thread, I wouldn't even bother posting. There's a few martial arts titles I like - but you know I'm not a fan of the genre when I'm disappointed at Hero and Crouching Tiger and I'd rather watch Mortal Kombat or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...

I liked the absurd 'Unleashed' more than any other Jet Li movie I've seen so far...lol

Aight I finished the Redux of Tito gettin whooped HL, If you dislike Tito Ortiz than this vid is for you, I'll make a new thread and post it in the mornin eastern time...
