My 11 Favorite Martial Arts Movies
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
The first one is Enter the Dragon by Bruce Lee. It is like Mortal Kombat, but without the aliens. I also like the Mortal Kombat movie.
Not so much the remake. Drunken Master is my favorite Jackie Chan movie. I found it amusing when he ordered his bodyguard to give him a royal beating.
Fearless has cool fighting and swordplay. It meditates on the futility of getting revenge. This is funny considering that most martial arts movies are about getting revenge.
Hero had some cool chick fights. The same could be said of House of the Flying dragons. Ip Man is about the teacher of Bruce Lee. They tease a lot the appearance of that famous martial artist.
Kickboxer had a pretty cool uppercut nut punch. Kong Fu Hustle is a bit of a comedy. It had Toad Sage Mode before Naruto.
So, now you know where that came from. Roadhouse is about literature student that becomes a bouncer because he can’t find a job with his diploma. He ends up ripping someone’s throat, twice.
The Last Dragon is the last movie I wanted to mention. The final boss looks like he is high on something. He was really, really nuts.
You should watch it with the mindset that it is a comedy. Anyhow, there is a video of this topic in my Artsy Sister Youtube channel. Please give a like and subscribe.
