Guest Zack Malibu Posted April 26, 2002 Report Posted April 26, 2002 I spawned this thread from the "Movies so bad, they're good" thread. C'mon guys, you know that you've sat back and watched these low budget classics at some point. Whether it's Don Wilson kicking ass in the latest Corman classic, or the kid from Step By Step taking over Van Damme's roles, these are the movies that give us the action fix like no other movie can. My personal faves have to be Bloodfist 3: Forced To Fight, China O'Brien, Only The Strong, American Ninja, Avenging Force, and Full Contact (not the Hong Kong film, the American one with the "alley fights" storyline)
Guest TUS_02 Posted April 26, 2002 Report Posted April 26, 2002 Does Riki-Oh: The Adventure of Ricky count? If so, then that's my pick.
Guest pochorenella Posted April 26, 2002 Report Posted April 26, 2002 I remember like 20 or so years ago watching those very early chinese Jackie Chan movies like "Fist of the Dragon" (literal translation from Spanish, I'm not sure of the english title) or the original "Drunken Master". Those seemed very low-budget to me but they had that kick-ass action that's rarely seen nowadays.
Guest Ripper Posted April 26, 2002 Report Posted April 26, 2002 Aren't all of them basically low-budget. I mean, alot of the newer ones are, but most Jackie chan movies and older Jet Li, all Bruce Lee and basically all of them have ridicuously low budgets.
Guest El Satanico Posted April 26, 2002 Report Posted April 26, 2002 I'm going to stick with... GYMKATA!
Guest razazteca Posted April 26, 2002 Report Posted April 26, 2002 The Shaw Brothers movies rule The Lucky Stars series with Jackie Chan Young Master Snake in Eagle Shadow or any movie that had Sam Seed!!!! Great China Hero Deadly China Hero Butterfly & Sword The Prodigical Son - Yuen Biao's best movie!!!! The Dreadnaught - another Yuen Biao classic Wing Chun Hand of Death/Countdown to Kung Fu - directed by Jon Woo with a Jackie Chan death scene
Guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Posted April 26, 2002 The Crippled Masters... two Kung Fu masters, one with no arms, one with no legs. Seeing this guy kick ass with the nub growing out of his shoulder is unlike anything Ive ever seen.
Guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Posted April 26, 2002 MAFIA VS NINJA You must all watch this movie. It is a true classic.
Guest ArkhamGlobe Posted April 27, 2002 Report Posted April 27, 2002 Does The Street Fighter with Sonny Chiba count? If so, that one in a heart beat.
Guest El Satanico Posted April 27, 2002 Report Posted April 27, 2002 I think i've seen Mafia vs. Ninja. Good lord now that was one great horribly bad movie.
Guest cabbageboy Posted April 27, 2002 Report Posted April 27, 2002 I also wrote this on the bad movie thread but it applies here as well. Check out Slaughter in San Francisco, it is soooooo funny. It is known mostly for an early Chuck Norris appearance, but a dude named Don Wong is the star. I defy anyone not to fall in the floor laughing at that movie.
Guest ant_7000 Posted April 28, 2002 Report Posted April 28, 2002 The Wu Tang karate series is pretty good
Guest HBK16 Posted April 28, 2002 Report Posted April 28, 2002 I have to agree, the very early Jackie Chan movies with sometimes Bruce Lee were very low budget. But also one I have to add to the list is Blood Sport 4. The other 3 were probably the same too but I have only seen 4. It is a very stupid movie. I watched it on DVD and didn't bother to pause it when I got to up find something to eat or drink.
Guest redbaron51 Posted April 28, 2002 Report Posted April 28, 2002 MAFIA VS NINJA You must all watch this movie. It is a true classic. Agreed. Best low budget movie evar.
Guest razazteca Posted April 28, 2002 Report Posted April 28, 2002 The Last Dragon [Glow] Bruce LeRoy [/Glow] lol
Guest whatitistoburn Posted May 2, 2002 Report Posted May 2, 2002 Bruce Leroy was the man. As for low budget kung fu, it's all about Chinese Super Ninja.
