Today’s delicious Van Damme double feature: Kickboxer, a perfect appetizer, and Bloodsport, a perfect main course.

Both filled with martial arts goodness, Paul Hertzog’s synth-heavy tracks, and Stan Bush’s raspy songs – not to mention training montages with mustached masters, lots of splits, and nasty oriental opponents.

Kickboxer is already good, but Bloodsport is great – it’s my favorite JCVD flick and my favorite martial arts movie, improving on Kickboxer in every aspect: a better story, better action, better characters, better production values, a better theme song, and overall better music.

Scott Adkins & Marko Zaror center the ring in a new image from the highly anticipated martial arts actioner Diablo! - Feddit UK

> You really can’t talk about anticipated action films without Scott Adkins and Marko Zaror and the two have teamed up once again in the new martial arts barn burner Diablo. I personally interviewed Adkins last year for his most recent release Take Cover and he mentioned that this one had the goods to satisfy fans looking for a little ass whipping on an epic scale. > >A new image has dropped, from Adkins himself via social media, which highlight the two action stars squaring off. Take note as Zaror looks like he came straight out of a James Bond movie looking like an old school and diabolical super villain and missing some hair. He’s even got only one glove on insinuating that he is indeed nefarious. > > … > > Adkins was quoted on the post saying, “Are you ready for the best martial arts action film of 2025?!!” further establishing that this one is looking to curb your appetite for insane and gravity defying action design.

Legends of the Condor Heroes is secretly the world's biggest movie

Legends of the Condor Heroes is secretly the world's biggest movie - Feddit UK

> If you don’t know Chinese, you might not know that right now, the biggest movie in the world is Legends of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants. This blockbuster adaptation of Jin Yong’s classic wuxia epic novel, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, is one of the defining works of the wuxia genre. It stars Xiao Zhan as hero Guo Jing and is being hyped as director Tsui Hark’s biggest comeback in decades. It opened this week for Chinese New Year, the biggest Chinese holiday and movie season of the year, and has already racked up 300 million ticket sales. You wouldn’t know any of this because until Deadline reported on the Chinese New Year opening day box office earnings, no Western media had written about it at all. > >The original novel of The Legend of the Condor Heroes has an official English translation from a UK and US publisher, all four volumes of it, and is bigger than Lord of the Rings – virtually every Chinese person knows it, and not just in China. Tsui Hark is one of the most influential action directors in the world next to John Woo, who has helped shape action movies in Hollywood and the rest of the world since the 1980s and 1990s, not counting his two forgettable Hollywood-funded Jean-Claude Van Damme movies in the 1990s. Yet there’s not a single article written about this movie in English language or Western media, not even the Hollywood trades beyond a report on the box office charts.

Love Hurts review – Everything Everywhere all over again

Love Hurts review – Everything Everywhere all over again - Feddit UK

> In his first live-action film appearance since winning an Oscar for Everything Everywhere All at Once, comeback kid Ke Huy Quan has chosen a movie that recycles the earlier one’s hit formula. Martial arts action plays out incongruously in quotidian locations; life lessons are combined with close-quarter combat. One difference is Love Hurts’s gloating reliance on gore: a hand is impaled with a knife, a pen is buried in a man’s eyeball, teeth stick to the duct tape ripped from a hostage’s mouth. It all rather puts the “ick” in karate kick. > > … > > In general though, the film is indebted, as Everything Everywhere was before it, to Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs the World. A visual gag showing Marvin leaping over a series of garden fences suggests that Eusebio also admires Wright’s Hot Fuzz. As Valentine’s Day treats go, however, Love Hurts is the cinematic equivalent of a wilted bouquet from a petrol station forecourt. > > Love Hurts is out on 6 February in Australia, and on 7 February in the US and UK.

This 27-year-old martial arts cult classic [Six-String Samurai] is perfect for Fallout fans - Feddit UK

> The Fallout series has delighted gaming fans for decades and, thanks to Amazon’s streaming series, it has found an even larger audience. The series’ mix of dark humor, 1950s aesthetics, and fun action is a combination that has proved enduring and successful for nearly a generation. Of course, with the Fallout show currently between seasons and a new game likely a long way off, many fans are looking for something else to tide them over. These fans will likely enjoy the underrated cult classic, Six-String Samurai. > > Released in 1998, this martial arts film didn’t feature big starts and ultimately did poorly at the box office. Despite these challenges, however, Six-String Samurai still managed to earn a small but loyal following thanks to its action, music, and style. All of these elements echo aspects of the venerable video game and TV series. While it may not be as well known as Fallout, fans need to check this action movie set in its own post-apocalyptic wasteland. > > Six-String Samurai is set in an alternate reality where, in 1957, the Cold War ended with the Soviet Union dropping nuclear bombs on the United States, turning it into a wasteland. Las Vegas, now dubbed “Lost Vegas,” is one of the few surviving cities and bastions of civilization. Outside the city, roving gangs terrorize innocent people and war with one another. In addition to these gangs, all with unique, often themed outfits, the world is populated by all sorts of mutants, cannibals, and other colorful and dangerous characters.

7 martial arts movies with 100% ratings on Rotten Tomatoes

7 martial arts movies with 100% ratings on Rotten Tomatoes - Feddit UK

> Movies that have 100% approval ratings on Rotten Tomatoes are rare, given a movie has to appeal to every single critic who chooses to review it for such a score to be achieved. A movie with 100% does not necessarily ensure the movie is perfect, but that it was, at the very least, “good” in the eyes of all the critics who reviewed it. As such, the more popular and widely reviewed a movie is, the more impressive a score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes becomes. > >Martial arts movies are already kind of underrated and underappreciated on a broad level, and some of the best of all time don’t have perfect scores on Rotten Tomatoes (see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Enter the Dragon, and Police Story, for starters). As such, searching for perfectly rated martial arts films on the site is easier said than done, but the following films can all broadly fit within the genre, and have 100% approval ratings… some, admittedly, because they’ve only been reviewed by a handful of enthusiastic critics, rather than dozens or even hundreds, the way a more mainstream movie might receive. They are: 1. ‘The Monkey King 2’ (2016) 2. ‘The Man from Nowhere’ (2010) 3. ‘Bad Black’ (2016) 4. ‘Yes, Madam!’ (1985) 5. ‘SPL 2: A Time for Consequences’ (2015) 6. ‘Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain’ (1983) 7. ‘The Prodigal Son’ (1981)
