      Terror Firmer
      and
      Trailer Town.

      oh...wait...those weren't MA movies...they were just to promote intestinal fortitude.
      Trailer Town, a Troma Production, is one of the most disgusting films ever made, aside from Sallow and a few really esoteric foreign films or internet sickness.

            In my opinion, the 2 Kill bills were an insult to the martial arts community

              ahhhhhhh WHAT?!!!

              c'mon, gordon liu and sonny chiba.
              yuen wo ping choreographed it...
              it's an instant kung-fu classic.

              GORDON LIU and SONNY CHIBA.

              what martial arts movie isn't insulting...???
              Bruce Lee movies???
              Only a few martial arts movies aren't hokey pieces of crap...the ones that are highly stylized and a bit satyrical and humorous are the best.

              i.e. all the old gordon liu films, all the old sonny chiba films (street fighter?!!) all the old jet li films, sammo hung, jackie chan...

              How bout new films???
              gotta love tony jaa's stuff!

              The worst films are the ones with van damme, seagal, and people like that.
              Why, because they take themselves too seriously, and they rely on action and violence alone...
              at least the old grainy kung fu classics are campy!
              'specially when they's dubbed by the Wu-Tang Clan.

                  Some of the martial arts movies may be ruining themselve with all of the unrealistic flying through the air and leaping a building with a single bound. I disagree about Segal, I like his wrist locks, throws and low kicks, you have to know what you are looking for in a Segal fight scene.

                    ...I do not like him as an actor...I do not like the characters he plays...and I do not like Aikido...so....I definitly don't like Segal's movies.

                      Peace Bro..............................Thanks, you stayed calm and did not flame. This is an intellectual discussion. Let me ask you this; do you like wrist locks/breaks? What about throws? Every system has them , not just akikdo.

                          What no FMA movies? what about The Hunted? Sure it sucked but blame Tom Brown (the clown) for that nonsense.

                          i vote for Kung Fu Hustle, American Samurai, Blind Fury...and the best of all time...Snake in Eagles Shadow.

                          as for Segal...thank god for the man...once he made a couple of movies van damn and chuck borrus stopped torturing us with thier crap. Chuck's last opponent was like joe piscopo...for christ sake...tell me He didnt see the writing on the wall...

                            Eh...The Hunted was "okay"...but the storyline was tireeeeeeddd.
                            And the action sequences, although better than most.....well...I wanted more!
                            I think an FMA movie in the line or "Suriyothai" the thai movie that featured Krabbi Krabong would be bomb.

                              hunted tired? hmmm its the first time i have ever seen an "expert" tracker decide it was smarter to make his knife in the field...when he had the option of bringing one with him. And i love how he forged a knife in a campfire
                              not to mention the rather time consuming booby traps that were rigged while being chased...guess its a good thing tommy lee jones stopped to make a knife along the way. You get what you pay for ...they paid Tom Brown for his knowledge (Talk about 2 Cents worth) and it showed in the moronic movie.
                              How the hell that moron gets by with his crap is beyond me...he is as bad as the martial art bullshitters who claim mysterious lineage (Brown claims he was taught by an mysterious Indian guide). oh and my favorite of his tales...he was hired to track down a renegade Navy SEAL ...tom claims to have tracked him and get this...stolen all the seals gear...one piece a night while the seal was asleep until the seal was so terrorized and demoralized he gave up to tom ....NAKED. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Maybe thatll be his next movie....
