It was a decade of pure violence and absolute movie magic, the 1980s martial arts movie mayhem. This decade was running amuck with martial arts movies. In this episode we dive into the crazy decade of 1980s martial arts movies...the freaking doors blew off in the 1980s, everyone wanted a piece of the action! There is no end to the number of 1980s classic martial arts movies, absolute stunners.

If you were born in the 60s, 70s, or 80s, you have a pretty good idea of what we are talking about. However, if you are born after these crazy decades, have no fear, we got you, grab your notepad, jot down some of these freaking crazy classics, they are nothing short, of mind bending and at some point, a tad confusing, and very entertaining all at the same time.

Some names to consider, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chuck Norris, Jean- Claude Van Damme, Ralph Macchio, Michael Jai White, and of course we must not forget Steven Segal...the list is endless. If you have not watched a B-rate Kung Fu movie, you truly are missing out...do it!!!

Join us in this episode as we kick out some hilarious martial arts movie facts, take a stab at some crazy legendary stories, and deliver a punch straight to the testicles of martial arts mayhem!!!!
