Who sports the stupidest hairdo?


In a movie where EVERYONE has a stupid hairdo, it's difficult to pick the winner:

Kurt
Eric
Winston
Xian
Mylee

Freddy Li
Tong Po

My pick is Kurt's godawful accountant partition: he is the protagonist, and becomes a master kickboxer warrior....with a fucking partition that makes him look like a Ken doll on steroids.

reply

I pick Tong Po for practical reasons. He participate in underground fighting without rules, why he gives his opponent a chance to play dirty by pulling his pigtail? I guess he never been in kindergarten or school. Amateurish decision.

reply

I agree with you it's stupid, but it also seems like catching a tiger by its tail....
Maybe he wants you to open your stance to grab his tail, so he can punish your torso with his knees and elbows!

reply

mmmmm a bait, interesting. Possible explanation. Agree that it is not easy to catch him off guard behind his back. If my memory serves me correctly, he even hit his opponent with is ponytail one time.

What do you think about Xander (Enemies Closer) hairdo?

That is some interesting hairdo: it looks so coarse, dry and uneven that seems to be made of pubic hair.

reply

I laughed out loud 😂

reply

Leave Mylee alone. Mylee good fuck.

reply

Nobody disagrees with your eloquent words....
But her hairdo is also not the greatest.
To be fair, she is the least offensive one on the list.

reply

In her defense, you don't want look too good in town full of criminals.

reply

I laughed at this way harder than I should have.

I did always think Van Damme's hairstyles in Kickboxer & Bloodsport were a bit dorky in an 80s preppy schoolboy sort of way. It appears that this was his preferred hairstyle throughout much of the 80s with the exceptions of his "bad guy" roles in 'No Retreat, No surrender' & 'Black Eagle' where he sported slick backed hairstyles. The accountant partition/Ken doll description is hilariously fitting in retrospect. That said, I'm not sure it beats out Eric's greasy Jheri curl mullet.

Come on, you know Eric must be using using Soul Glo on his curls. Just let it shine through!
