Kicking off (literally) with this ironically hilarious cult classic. Jean Claude Van Damme, in his Hollywood prime, stars as Colonel Guile, who is on a mission to stop the evil General M. Bison (Raul Julia) and his plot to create an army of genetically-modified troops. Julia, who unfortunately passed away before the film’s release, is the star of t...
A forgotten Jackie Chan action-comedy that had some wicked fight scenes. Chan plays Jimmy, a taxi driver who is forced to step into the (literal) shoes of Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs), a secret agent with a cool set of threads. With the aid of a high-tech tuxedo, Jimmy can implement all known forms of martial arts, dance styles, and languages. It’s ...
A science-fiction fight flick featuring future stars Maggie Q, Sean Farris, and Will Yun Lee as characters from the popular King of Fightersvideogame series. Produced by Double Edge Entertainment and directed by Gordon Chan, King of Fightersis an epic film featuring everything you would expect…other dimensions, secret agents, ancient magical artifa...
The Power Rangers were HUGE in the ‘90s, mainly because of the insane popularity of the Mighty Morphin’ Power RangersTV series. The Rangers had birthed a media and merchandise empire to rival any other from the late ‘90s to early 2000s. Fast-forward to 2017, and the kids were all about the Avengers. A Power Rangers film was the last thing on anyone...
The ‘90s were certainly a time for less talk and more action, which is exactly what this film delivers. Expect No Mercyis a no-nonsense no-waste-your-time kind of film that has a very basic plot. Because films like this aren’t about the plot… Billy Blanks is the star of this one, playing CIA agent (and martial arts wizard) Justin Vanier. Vanier’s t...
Another videogame adaptation from the ‘90s. Starring Christopher Lambert as Raiden, the god of thunder, Mortal Kombatwas a very faithful adaptation of the first MK game. For the first time ever, fans got to see Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Sub-Zero, and more in live-action. While it lacks the video game series’ famed gore (PG rating and all that), Mortal...

What follows is an epic hero’s journey for C...
Another Jesse V. Johnson picture. This time though, it’s jungle battles instead of urban brawls. Triple Threatstars Michael Jai White as Deveraux, a “freedom fighter” who seeks help with freeing prisoners in Thailand. For this mission, Deveraux recruits Payu (Tony Jaa) and Long Fei (Tiger Chen), a pair of ”special trackers”, to help his team. Unfor...
This direct-to-video crossover film is criminally underrated in many ways. Not only is Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesa vigilante dream team in theory, but it also delivers in practice. The animation, story, and pacing of the film are excellent, and so are the fighting sequences. Batman and the Turtles team up to tackle the super-villain al...
