So today I watched Best of the best part 4 and there is a scene, where Tommy Lee wants to escape the mobsters house and he landed in that training room where 4 gangsters train martial arts with sticks and other weapons and attack him. This Fight is very very similar to Jet Lis Karate Hall Fight Scene in Kiss of the Dragon. I was baffled because the course of events in both Films were almost Identical (with some changes in Kotd), and I think It cant be a coincidence. I know Jet Li co wrote Kiss of the Dragon, so it was maybe the Director who copied that idea from Best of the Best 4, after all Best of the Best 4 isn't a well known Film and most people wouldn't notice this. Maybe it is a coincidence but like I said the scenes are very similar. I also know this scenes in both films can be a little reference to Bruce Lees Fist of Fury, but besides the Fights takes place in a dojo/Fight hall the scenes in Best of the Best and kiss of the dragon are different in context than in fist of fury.
What it says in the title. I know a couple, but I want to hear from the community and figure out what some of the most iconic ones are! Please feel free to include modern, older, and foreign films as well, and any that might merge genres but are still action films to the core!
I'm a huge fan of action movies where the basic plot is "a hard man gets wronged by a powerful opponent and goes out on a rampage of revenge", including such movies as Death Wish, Mad Max, First Blood and John Wick. Anyone know of any other movies that would fit this mold?
I’m watching this on Netflix right now and you guys, it’s terrible. I’m LOVING it. I didn’t realize how much I missed Cameron Diaz on my screen. I love a bad movie that’s well paced and fun. The action out the gate is absurd, but that’s the charm. I will revisit this one.
