Wrestling - The Wrestler Jeet Kune Do - Game of Death...well the 30 minutes of pagoda scenes anyway and just to annoy the X-Kan crew Ninjutsu - Ninja Vengeance
Was Remo the one where he is doing double stick work on an upturned sofa? I think that's the first film (or Enter The Dragon) where I saw something that looked like kali. I tried to watch it a few months back. Couldn't get past the first few scenes. I keep meaning to watch Besouro, never seem to remember.
Pffft...The Wrest...*nods head in avatar's direction*...really! ('tis a great movie - struggle watching it though :cry
there's actually an old kung fu movie featurong a high-profile hung sing choy lee fut exponent, but i don't remember what either was called. will see if i can find it. also, for japanese karate: kuro-obi (starring actual karate sensei who hit each other for real during filming)
oh, and MAP's own gshambrooke was in jackie chan's mr. nice guy, an he does clf. iirc he also spin kicked jackie in the head for real
found a kfm thread all about clf films: http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?10906-movies-with-Choy-Lay-Fut
Judo, BJJ, Sambo, Wrestling, MMA tha arts I gravitate to seem to have got on the map without the help of fantasy to promote them.
Don't remember that from Remo Williams. Do remember that from The Perfect Weapon though. The kenpo folks got really salty when people asked them whether Jeff Speakman was doing kali in The Perfect Weapon. Can hardly blame the general public though.
Oh sure. But it is where most of the movie-going public would have gotten their strongest exposure to capoeira. Aside from that, it was generally "no-name opponent in the secret-underground-tournament subgenre (e.g., The Quest, Shootfighter 2, Undisputed 3, Kickboxer 4, etc.)
Yeah, I rewatched that recently. Pretty dire. I couldn't help thinking: "You're stopping to make knives in the middle of this epic chase scene? Make knives?! You're in Portland, Oregon, for God's sake. I'm guessing there's an outdoor store or two you could break into quicker."
Aikidio: Any Segal film but I'll say On Deadly Ground MMA: Never Back Down Is it fair to say the Bourne films and JKD?
Karate: The Karate Kid. Kickboxing (or Full Contact Karate as it was named back then): No Retreat, No Surrender. Kung Fu: The Matrix.
Boxing: The Champ :cry: Ninjas: American Ninja or Ninja III: The abomin...The Domination. Or TMNT. Can't decide cause they are all awesome. MA in general: The Pink Panther
