Watch a movie called Bruce Lee: His Story.

It shows the fights in that movie. The fight with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is priceless.

John Carpenter is the man! I recommend the original "Assault on Precinct 13"

Scarface is cheesy, although good cheese, and has a huge body count. Total Recall is another deathmatch.

my friend really liked that movie. He was a big buy sort of like the big white guy in the film.

This film is PC- but in a good way. It shows all kinds of different fighting styles. It's kind of cool to watch. I don't know how realistic those fighting styles are, but they are cool. Like the african dude who stays low to the ground.

and no one has identified my avatar yet . Or you have and just don't care enough to post it . Or it's a better known picture than I have believed. It's possible the type of poster who frequents Apolyton is the type who will have seen the movie where my avatar came from.

It's not actually from a cheesy 80's movie, but a cheesy late 70's movie.


hint: This movie was supposed to be a bigger box office hit than Star Wars.

I don't remember the name of the movie, but its a vehical that travels cross county in a post apocoliptical US towards the radio signals of a surveing group somewhere in Upstate New York (or something like that, maybe Ohio). It actually traveled with another similar vehical, but only one made it. I was real young when I watched the movie. When they got to Las Vegas and they battled the armored cockroaches (that mutated from the radiation), I get scared and ran away... (come on, I was like 6!)

yep, that's it.

the movie sure is dated. I like how they are in Las Vegas and they are amazed the slot machines still work. I'm sure they would back then, as most were mechanical reel type back then. Everything is electronic now days. They won't work without electricity (though some casinos use backup generators when the power goes out- but that can only last a day or so).

A great film. Burton does the acting, Eastwood does the killing. But it was a sixties film iirc.

Still, some of his moves are the most realistic of any movie martial arts character.

That's all well and good, but he's still in them.

I'd almost rather watch chop-socky or (eck) 'Kill Bill'.


No, no I wouldn't. I take that back. Too horrible a thought.
