Way before the likes of Matrix...before the Crouching Tiger type of martial art there were these...
I wonder if i'll ever watch them again? Cause I am sure i would not really enjoy them as such!
Death Before DishonorWho even knew what Dishonor meant...but by golly that movie was a must!
THE LAST DRAGONWho's the master? I am! Classic of course if it was in these day in aga the line who'd be...Who's ma bitch? I am!
Older James Bond SeriesWe all watched JAMES BOND didn't we. Loved them Loved them...I'm still recovering from Pierce not being Bond but i did that post em days so we shall not go there but...these were some great flicks.
CannonBall SeriesNow if you loved action with a serious sense of humor with an all star cast-awesome. I mean where do u get off with Roger Moore acting as a British Wanna-be who thinks he is Roger Moore?
Police Academy SeriesThank you Ciku for reminding me about this series...pure comedy!
Mahoney and his gang...
Bruce Lee FlicksClassic...saying anything more would ruin it!
Jackie Chan FlicksJackie Chan sure had his flicks...obviously with voice overs butthis is a good film I remember.
Karate Kid SeriesCammon we all remember that signature flying kickthat will forever remain a classic. Wax off, Wax in. Mr Miyagi Sir. The sequel wasn't that bad either but them drums that you beat by twisting them kinda spooked me. ha.
I used to give out Karate lessons in Primo aremd with the knowledge i had from this film. I'd challenge guys to attack and would defend successfully..well it didn't work on my cousin who beat the crap out of me and had me pinned down with a twisted arm borderline tears!
Best of the Best SeriesEric Roberts at his best...ubaya they made sequels out ofthis that weren't as good as this original.
KBC loved this one!
American Ninja Series
Damn right this was as good as it got...it even reached upto 5
Cynthia RothrockCynthia Rothrock....that babe could kick ass!
Terrence Hill and Bud SpencerI think this is the worst thing to ever happen to me while posting on couch tato! NGAI this things were in spanish!?!?!?!? And they way i LOVED TERRENCE HILL AND BUD SPENCER. This is CrimeBusters and Double Trouble...I'm yet to recover on this...first Derrick then Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer-the TATO is not amused at all!
Delta Force and Mission in Action series=Chuck Norris!Chuck Norris was your typical ACTION hero...and we watched this flicks like whoa!
Jean Claude Van Damme flicksThe newer martial arts experts of our time...DAMN!!!!
Arnold SchwarzenegerNow he could deliver! He may have had a bad accent heck he may have had no lines but he kicked ass! Remember that Bazuka in Commando?!
Sylvester StalloneJohn Rambo! For his Country , For himself, For his Best friend...how could you not fall for that?!
Rocky too was great at our time!

hey D-shy...numba one...LOL at sexist and to think i was gonna call the post 'X-Y flicks' then toned it down....auuuuuui Steven Segal woiye i left him out...i only liked one which he was assumed dead then woke up john doe.
Can still watch any James Bond - and the early Arnold/ Stallone/Chuck Norris are still enjoyable. It's tough to watch any Van Damme flicks ever since he got beaten up by a NY bouncer (Chuck Zito)
Terrence HIll and Bud Spencer movies were actually Italian, not Spanish. And yes, I too was greatly distressed the first time I learnt this. I still loved their movies though. I'd watch them over and over and over again. Thanks for these!
@bankelele:LOL
@egm...manze im finding that out today!trauma!
@dshy:
1.jet li ni wa siku hizi si wa tene
2.poraro? damn i like that name
3.S.Segal...he of the black suit and pony tail...hapana...apart from that flick and the other one with sharon stone abloe the law...his movies suck ngai and he kept making them there was one with keenan ivory wayans..jehova god
Tsk tsk ... Cynthia Rothrock was just the ONE! True Nick... she could kick serious ass!
Finally, mlango opens.....Kwani you poraro)giggle giggle), you were doing what in the bafu with soap juu you are not opening the door?
Cynthia Rothrock aki kicked matakos!!! I remember her first flick, name escapes me...where she was in shorts and dust and panadring those ropes, and tuparing bombs....woooiiii! Me, when I grow up I want to be Cynthia (note, first name basis and all)
Halafu Police academy......haki ya nyanya, laughter dont come sweeter than that.
Kwanja I am looking for re runs me I enjoy myself!!!!
Hey Nikolai Gogol?
Ohh my! looooved jean claude back in the day. Those 180 splits of his were timam...had a gal swooning.
Then...he grew old and not so cute and that fantasy died when i saw on tv looking very ancient...*sigh*
speaking of action heros...the otherday i sat and watched Commando...manze i could nto believe the LIES!!!
OH! there was this part where Commando ripped a seat off of a car...with his bare hands!! I mean Samson can't even top that with his building dropping techniques. Now, where are these men when i need a jar of pickels opened?!!
Haya the other stunt was how 1 person,mtu mmoja kills an entire corrupt organization. I mean even their tea gal. And he is left bila a scratch. I mean no torn limbs, missing a digit, hair on fire...nada! The only thing he is sporty is a sweaty look, like a guy who has just come in from doing yard work.
Huu ni ung'wana kweli?!!
Hey dear,
I just read that Mr. Stallone turned 60 today. Dang! He Old!.... I remember the first time I saw rambo and the whole fascination with tying the red thingy around the head..... heck no!.... ikae.....
These days there is too much special effects... I miss the simpler action movies...... and wouldnt u agree that Police Academy was more comedy than action?????
What did u think of Xmen?
Agreeing with D'Shy. I loved most of them - but did not like Pierce as James Bond - give me Roger Moore any day.
The day I heard Claude speaking, I wiped him clean out of my head - talk about a male blonde!!!!
As for Chuck Norris please, after Bruce gave him a beat down, I never wanted to see him again.
Good one son
