Phila., Pa. Lines: 34 Now come on. There's no use trying to deny it. At one time or another you sat through one martial arts film or another, and despite the comments you felt obliged to make about just how phony the fighting was, you kind of liked it anyway. So then here's my question to you: if you, (like me) really enjoy these type of flicks, what was your favorite. Here are my top three. (I have unfortunately not seen "Enter The Ninja" yet...my video rental store is always out of it when I try to rent it) 1. Enter the Dragon. Yes, maybe it is a bit conformist, but let's face it, this is one movie that was pretty darn good. 2. The Game of Death. Even though many of "Bruce Lee's" seens were done by anyone but Bruce Lee, there was still a distinct quality and style to this film and it's fighting. And the final fight seen between the REAL Bruce and the Doctor's gaurd's was TERRIFIC! Not to mention Kareem Abdhul Jabar's (sp?) "slam dunk" of the man running up the steps in the flashback. 3. The Challenge. I was really surprised by this one. Before I saw this one, some friends and I (we used to like to see just how much people would believe) used to tell people this was a cult film that was actually two hour's full of Pepsi Challenge commercials. (People through Coke at the screen (ala Rocky Horror... No one would be seated during the crucial R.C. cola seen... etc.) None-the-less, it was pretty good. Actually, I'm pretty luck. Every Saturday a local station here in Philadelphia put on what they call Black Belt Theater, and another local puts on Action Theater. Both show martial arts films (some of which are really *bad*) I'd really like to here your favorites... I'm only a uupath away! Len Armstrong St. Joseph's University
