Movies or Tv Shows with Great Training Sequences

[Guest wildpegasus]

Inspired by the Rocky Balboa trailor and seeing Rocky squatting (Da KING of all exercises) with 285 pds approximately I got motivated to start this thread.

 

 

Basicaly, what are your favourite movies or Tv shows that have the greatest training sequences. Pick anything from the awesomeness of the original Dragonball to the Rocky series itself.

 

The real point of the thread is to find out what movies feature squatting with a barbell/dumbells as that's what seperates the men from the boys but still feel free to name your favourites that don't feature any squatting.

The Cutting Edge.

I'll probably get ripped, but I like the Montage training sequence of Team America. It takes all the aspects and throws them over the top, maknig it enjoyable to me.

Batman Begins. Sword fighting on a glacier? How do you top that?

Sounds interesting but I'll raise you with the original Tiger Mask anime. It's going to be difficult to beat that one. Anyone who has seen it will understand. Right now, I'm just trying to think of the training stuff they had in it.

Walking across a room on several clay pots while his master swats at his feet and the pots

 

Then a rocky-esque sequence to inish it off.

 

Overall my favorite JC movie besides Drunken Master II.

I used to really enjoy the Daredevil/Elektra training sequence.

 

Then I started to hate Evanescense.

My friend used to rage about that sequence.

 

"You can't fucking cut bags of sand with a Sai! It's a big metal spike! It has no edge!"

Van Dam in Kickboxer.

Team USA playing street hockey in D2 and finally coming together as a team. So cheesy, yet so, so wonderful.

Empire Strikes Back, though that training sequence made up 1/4 of the movie and didn't involve generic rock music.

Jean Claude Van Dam in Bloodsport:

 

1) the two chair split

2) the splits with tree

3) the flashback blind crab attack

 

Seriously the greatest training sequence ever is from Master Killer.

Best part is at the end when the black go is all like "go get 'em team USA, go get em" and chokes up a bit.

the bride in Kill Bill vol. 2.

[Man Who Sold The World 0]

Van Dam in Kickboxer.

Yeah. Especially when he basically walks on to the team in mid-tournament because of his trick shot (the knucklepuck). I tried the knucklepuck once. I broke a car window.

Team America -- because who can't use a montage when in a pinch?

All these posts and no mention of Rocky 4?

I usually break out the Knucklepuck at least once when I play air hockey. Needless to say, I get yelled at often.

Rocky 4

Rocky 4 had those fucked up over-the-side-of-a-barn sit ups, and those lower body situps where Stallone was using his neck and shoulders to lift his entire lower body. Thats some hardcore shit.
