The Karate Kid

Now the Karate Kid I'm going to talk about is the 1984 version with Mr. Miyagi.  The other version of it I didn't like because instead of using the Karate style martial arts they used Kung fu.  The movie is about a young man name Daniel Larusso who moved from New Jersey to California and is trying to start a new life, but it didn't turn out as plan.  Daniel is always being bullied by a couple of guys that train in martial arts, eventually Daniel meets Mr. Miyagi.  Daniel ask Mr. Miyagi if he can train him martial arts so that he can defend himself next time from the bullies.  Things went great, Daniel was confident with himself, but when the bullies martial arts teacher found out what happened and was furious.  Mr. Miyagi made an offer for Daniel to enter a martial arts tournament and if he wins everyone would leave Daniel alone.  In the end Daniel won the tournament and he and Mr. Miyagi felt they had accomplish everything.

Mortal Kombat

Who here hasn't played the game Mortal Kombat? When I heard that there was a movie based on the video game I just had to see it.  The plot is similar to the game where an ancient tournament is being held called Mortal Kombat.  In order to succeed this tournament they would have to have 10 straight wins.  A competitor named Liu Kang entered the tournament to seek revenge for the death of his brother, Sonya Blade a law enforcement officer was lured to the tournament for catching her partners killer and Johnny Cash a movie star who was called fake also entered the tournament to prove to people that they are wrong.

Kung Fu Panda

Kung Fu Panda not your typical martial arts movie, but it's close enough.  Even though this movie is a children movie it still has some Chinese martial arts kung fu moves.  Kung Fu Panda is about a Panda named Po who dreams of training with the Furious Five.  Po was picked from the great master to become the Dragon Warrior, his dream came true.  Po was to be trained by Master Shifu and the Furious Five, but as his training starts a vengeful Snow Leopard named Tai Lung returns to his hometown to defeat Po and take his title of Dragon Warrior.  It's up to Po to protect everyone from Tai Lung and also show him that he is worth the title of the Dragon Warrior.

Iron Monkey

Iron Monkey is similar to the story of Robin Hood but with a lot more action.  A martial artist/doctor named Dr. Yang mask himself as the Iron Monkey to help the people from a corrupted government and rob the rich to feed the poor.  The government of Hong Kong were furious that no one can stop the Iron Monkey, so they hired someone that is skilled at martial arts like the Iron Monkey.  The government hired a physician/marital artist named Wong Kei Ying to their city to stop the masked man from robbing the rich and it seemed that the Iron Monkey has meet someone equal to him. 
While Wong was busy looking for Dr. Yang an evil Shaolin Monk arrives to the city to take over the corrupted government.  It is now up to the Iron Monkey and Wong Kei Ying to stop the evil monk in all means possible.  Robin Hood is all swords and arrows but Iron Monkey is all hand to hand combat and many types of weapons they use.  This movie is by far a better version of a Hong Kong Robin Hood.
