There are others as well. Best of the Best and No Retreat No Surrender come to mind.

Rocky IV, the whole movie is one inspirational fight fest. The montages are superb! Love it when they pit man against machine.

There should be a retrospective of inspirational fight songs from A and B list movies. I can see a list encompassing the Rocky series and Karate Kid (same director) as well as the movies featured here.

One of my favorite montages is actually from RockyIV where I thought they took it to a whole other level in both sound and concept.

awesome post, awesome! i love all that good stuff.

oh and…unfortunately I liked Highwaymen…but sometimes i suspend belief.

Mr. Woodcock might have some atmosphere towards the third half, when all the jokes are suppose to be paying off…so it’s a “low” rental at most.

Joe: I think I have worn out my DVD player with these gems, but I can’t help it. It’s just really amazing stuff with a truckload of nostalgia.

Nick: Haha yeah I saw it now and I also saw a Double Impact/Mentos ad. Yep, if you don’t like the genre, then it’s understandable that it didn’t go down so well. As for me, I think I need a weekend filled with those 80s fight movies

The Bloodsport/Mentos ad is pretty funny.

I caught Bloodsport on TV a while back, it was okay for what it was, but to be fair, it is not the genre I usually enjoy, so it did alright.

These movies were great, I remember watching them when I was younger. Then I saw one of them about a month ago and I was reminded how great they were again! Great Post!

Kickboxer has the best score, but Bloodsport is the better movie.

Hehe I will check out the Bloodsport/Mentos ad. It sounds hilarious.

Ahh…thanks for the trip down memory lane. Kickboxer’s alright, but it’s all about Bloodsport in my book. That trailer is FANtastic!

By the way, if you haven’t seen it, search out the Bloodsport/Mentos “ad.” It’s the highest of high comedy.
