Movie Clip Wednesday: Best Martial Arts Film

Welcome to movie clip Wednesday this week's topic: Best Martial Arts Film. Hosted by the lovely Joanna Cake. If you care to play find a clip try to make it less than 3 minutes and go by Joanna's site and tell her you're up.

I have to take most martial art films as tongue in cheek comedy. So when I saw the topic I thought of: In Like Flint, this 1967 film starring James Colburn was a tongue in cheek spoof of James Bond and had many " martial arts scenes" there was also a sequel: Our Man Flint both movies were equally bad or good depending on your perspective. I found them both fun to watch and easy on the eye.(well most of the co-stars were easy on the eye) Please enjoy.

I loved Our Man FLint. It would have been too easy to go with enter the dragon or kill bill - i had forgotten this gem. I like james coburn, had forgotten he was blonde not white haired.

some that come to mind are

karate kid
and the bourne movies

happy MCW!

I always forget how much I like James Coburn. My spousal unit is a martial arts movie freak, so I've sort of seen every one every made. i.e.: when I pay attention :o)

My faves are Enter the Dragon and Kill Bill, both parts.

Chickory: Coburn was a prettygood actor. He made the flint movies. Joanna used Enter the Dragon, Kill Bill would be a good one too.

Aunty Belle: Welcome Home! Hope you had a great trip.

Your thinking of the Matt Helm movies. They were good ones too. Ann Margret was in one of them.

Moi: SB is the demographic the films were made for. I'll bet you've seen a lot of Jackie Chan too.
