Man this brings back memories!! I remember waking up Saturday mornings to watch Black Belt
Theatre. It played on the local TV channel in LA, not sure if it played anywhere else. This
is a pretty good collection of video clips from some of the all-time greats in martial arts
movies http://www.maximonline.com/slideshow...m=1&src=gx1146
I don’t know but I tend to be bias towards the older movies. The look and sound is unique
and unmistakable. Some of the newer movies nowadays don’t seem to have the same affect…you
watch them and you are entertained and you soon forget.
I am a bit of a purest when it comes to my martial arts. Not sure about Kung Fu Hustle being
part of this list, and Karate Kid is borderline for me, especially if you are in the company
of Enter the Dragon, Hero and The Drunken Master. IMHO, Karate Kid and Kung-Fu Hustle are
great movies in their own right, but not in the same league. And I would liked to have seen
both One Upon A Time in China and the all-time classic Master of The Flying Guilatine (I
went through the first 10 clips and did not see it).
