I like old martial arts movies. El Ray plays a lot of them. Karate Kid is one of the best movies of all times.

karate kid was interesting, but even as a child, the acting was too stiff and scenes too fake for me to get into.

No way, Maccio, Morito & Shue were brilliant!

I saw Macchio and Kove at Dragoncon this year. Macchio is a pretty cool guy in person, but Martin Kove is actually a badass. He is on my list of dudes nearing 70 I would not fuck with

They fell out of favor once CGI started taking over action movies, so instead, we get super hero movies now.

There has been some good relatively recent stuff though, check out anything with Tony Jaa in it, dude is a badass.

sequel to crouching tiger hidden dragon coming out on Netflix, so there's still hope.

also, it's not a true martial arts movie if the line "Buddha's name be praised" is not said by at least two characters.

The Jackie Chan era was the last era for me... once he stopped making good movies, that's when it died for me.

MMA also didn't do much too help. You quickly found out that Kung Fu was a bunch of lies.

They're supposed to be making remakes of bloodsport and kickboxer within the next couple of years and Tony Jaa and Scott Adkins are supposedly going to be starring in them.

Just YouTube some of the Scott Adkins fight scenes in "Undisputed" (I, II, or III) or Tony Jaa in "Ong-Bak" (I, II, or III LOL) and you will see the Kung-fu flick - with no CGI and very little wire work- is still alive and well.

If it has any wire work, I'm not watching. I'm a kung fu snob.

My theory: martial arts movies are now being replaced by "operator" movies. Modern warfare has brought back the b rated movies since everyone wants to be a special forces navy seal delta marine recon guy.
