Stumbled across this today. There were so many at the time ranging from mainstream to not so. What did you like? | ||

Sho Kosugi got me interested in the martial arts. I enjoyed "Revenge of the Ninja". | |||

Being 10 or 11 in the mid 80's I would watch USA network's kung-fu theater every Saturday. They would play 2 some times 3 kung fu movies in a row. I would sit in front of the tv with some pillows and kick the living shit out of them with my karate chops and side kicks. I got punished weekly for breaking stuff on the tables and making to much noise. Once I did some kind of flying jump kick right into my sister who came walking through the door way. I don't know how she is still living because that was one of those deadly monkey paw tiger claw praying mantis kicks. Her heart was supposed to fall out of her mouth and blood poor from the pores in her skin according to the movies. Even with all the punishment it never stopped me from being glued to the tv for kung fu theater. First In Last Out | |||

This unbelieveably cheesy B-flick was the reason I took up shotokan karate. Ultra-cool back then, I now find the fight scenes with the main star all but unwatchable (those with the real black-belted support characters like senseis Stan Schmidt and Norm Robinson are still good). | |||

Pretty much all of the ninja movies: American Ninja, Revenge of the Ninja, Enter the Ninja, etc. Even the TV series starring Lee Van Cleef...I think it was called The Master. Perfect Weapon was a favorite of mine, too. I liked the early Steven Seagal movies, like Above the Law, Hard to Kill, and Under Siege. I don't know if they'd be considered "goofy," though. Of course, we can't leave out Big Trouble in Little China. "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.

I'll always have a soft spot for Kickboxer. My buddies and I in the late '80s traveled into the city to see a double feature of Kickboxer and Night of the Demons. We had a blast. I miss fun cheesy exploitation double features like that. In the '90s, the UC Theater in Berkeley would have Hong Kong Thursdays where they would show a double feature of '70s to '90s HK films. I saw a ton of martial arts films there - a bunch of Jackie Chan, Jet Li, John Woo, etc. I could be in the foulest of moods and HK Thursdays would just blow the gloom away. I remember loving Sword of Many Lovers, Green Snake, Chinese Ghost Story, The Heroic Trio, and especially 1985's Yes Madam with Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock back when Cynthia Rothrock was doing cuh-RA-zy stuff and not her later boring straight-to-VHS martial art flicks. I also had my celebrity crush on Brigitte Lin-Ching-Hsia, so I ate up all her martial arts movies, like Swordsman 2 & 3, The Bride with White Hair, and Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain. One of the most hilariously hokey ones was 1993's Black Panther Warriors. Loved that one! | |||

Nobody has mentioned Chuck yet? Wow. I'd add The Karate Kid, cuz cheese. Kill and Kill again I saw in the theater. I got busted by my mom. I wanted to see it bad (I was 7) so I had to pull some moves to see it. Bought a ticket for some kiddie bs out at the same time, and snuck in. It was awesome until I came out and she had been waiting, and was pissed, figuring out my stunt.  If it was a martial arts film in the 70's, 80's or 90's I've seen it. 80's I was big into martial arts. Ended up studying Tae Kwan Do for years, Kung Fu, and a few others but not long enough to master anything in them. Worked with a Bokken, nunchaku, kusarigama. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Because the OP is asking about "goofy" films, not cinematic masterpieces like Mr. Norris' films. Duh. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

First one I thought of. Johnny Shitcase did a review of that one (I can't seem to find it any longer) that is classic. Almost as good as his review of ZARDOZ. _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.

A great time to be a kid. One of the members already beat me regaring Kung Fu theater. Every Saturday we would rotate houses to spend the whole afternoon watching the kung fu movies and eating the cupboards dry. I was a big fan and had a crush on Cynthia Rothrock and Michelle Yeoh. No matter how cheesy their movies were I never missed a one. I was also a big Michael Dudikoff fan. A whole gang of us when out on opening day and saw Steven Seagal's "Above the Law". I loved growing up during this period. The movies and actors were great. | |||

Awesome movies!!!! I'll add the wonderfully cheesy films from my childhood, 3 Ninjas 1, 2, 3, 4. I'd argue 1 and 3 are the best as it's the same main cast. ...Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, was just a freight train coming your way... | |||
