Is Enter the Dragon the most influential martial arts film?

[Takes Two To Tango]

In regards to inspiring people to become martial artists.

What else film had that kind of impact to future martial artists?

Bloodsport, Karate Kid perhaps?

For mma guys I always think of Ong Bak muay thai

It is, but not for me.



I'd seen that movie probably well over 100 times before the UFC existed.

Bloodsport for me. Also, Rocky made me foolishly believe I could be an Italian boxer when I grew up.

Didn't really watch a whole lot of Bruce Lee movies as a pup.

Maybe, it did start the kung-fu craze of the seventies.
For me, it was this one though:



Always preferred Jackie Chan over Bruce Lee, his movies were less serious and therefor more enjoyable to watch as a young kid

Man, I was thinking about District B-13 (Banlieue-13) yesterday and how fucking cool it was when it came out; I was 14 at the time.

 

[Bouboumaster]

I've never thought about it, but yes, absolutly

 

[shorinryu86]

Yes, but I prefer The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Bloodsport, One Armed Boxer, Master of the Flying Guillotine, 5 Deadly Venoms, Once Upon a Time in China, Drunken Master and Police Story over it.

 

[shorinryu86]

I find Bruce Lee movies overrated, most fans elevate him like he's somekind of mystical mythical entity. (even calling him the GOAT martial artist)

We also had this late-night series titled: Kung Fu Theater, on USA It came on around bedtime and I would stay up to watch it with my uncle Mike. I remember wearing "ninja shoes" for a couple of years around that time and buying nunchucks & ninja stars from swap meet
