Lots of people missed some of the obvious LOL

HOW can anyone NOT mention Loren Avedon, Billy Blanks or Michael Jai White

BloodSport 2-3 (I loved them very very much, not everyone else has to)

King of the Kickboxers

Undisputed 2-3

Expendables 1-2 (3rd didn't have hardly any hand to hand that I can remember, except the cutie Rousey)

Tiger Claws 1-2 (3 was corny but enjoyable)

Blade 1-3

The Protector (Tony Ja from Ong Bak)

Ong Bak 1-3 (2-3 didn't have same charm as 1st)

Army of One (very good Dolph flick)

American Ninja 1-5

Gymkata (old classic but enjoyable)

Street Knight ( Jeff Speakman if you're a fan, but can't touch The Perfect Weapon)

Kickboxer 1-5

Ninja 1-3 (Sho Kosugi misspell on last name ? )

No Retreat No Surrender 1-3 (original has nothing to do with 2-3 but very enjoyable)

Ninja 1-2 (Scott Adkins)

Shootfighter 1-2 ( I love these 2, because of 2 stars in them 1 being Bolo)

The Vanishing Son movies/series (such a good showing of Russell Wong)

Never Back Down 1-3 ( haven't seen 3 yet, but if Michael Jai White then should be ok)

Drive ( Mark Dacoscas and Kadeem Hardison, enjoyable movie)

The Real Bruce Lee (Tiger Li, it's an ok movie)

Tough and Deadly, TC 2000, Showdown - Billy Blanks

Best of the Best 3 ( Phillip Rhee) good movie but more deeper than the action. Plus an OLD movie, classic cult like movie "LA Streetfighters", corny movie but a few names in it.

Bloodmatch (corny no sense making movie butttttt has a few kickboxers that actually did tournaments in the early 90s)

I know I'm late to post on this thread but 2 things - 1. I hate the people who review good and bad movies on IMDB. 2. I'm grateful to this site also or I wouldn't have known about some movies that are low-budget or underground to lots of us.

Like the saying.....if you're not on date and it's late.....naked chicks or kung fu flix on my tv screen.

PS. Does anyone know where to find movies by that 1 fellow who played Prang in King of the Kickboxers and SubZero in MK 2 ? If so, respond sometime.
