I am at a loss.
Best of the best was pretty good by 80s standards.
But I guess that was in modern time. Can't really say I have seen any great martial arts movies since then. I am not even sure that that one was great. But I was young in the 80s and doing lots of martial arts and that movie was a must see for all of us.
I still think Boxing is the superior martial art. MMA is obviously better in a 1 on 1 situation but a good boxer can quickly learn a few grips and low kicks.
