Rocky II (1979)
one of the most underrated films of all time
Rocky II may be one of the best films ever made. The first was classic and so is this. the first time around rocky just tries to last against Apollo, but now he's going for the win. Without doubt the best fight in the series, with both actors actually hitting each other at some points. My favorite quote of all time is in this film. Afte getting pummelled and floored in the first round, Rocky tells Mickey that Apollo is crazy. Mickey replies classically, No, You cant bet him. Cause your a tank. A greasy fast, 200 hundred pound Tank! Go threw him! Run over em!" " The fight is not for the title; it is for who is the better man. One of tho most inspiring films I have ever seen. Whenever you need to keep going, just watch this film.
Fighting Black Kings (1976)
fantastic documentary on Karate competition
"Fighting Black Kings" is one of the best films ever made on the martial arts. Mosat films of this genre are action, but this piece displays the training, personalities and performance of a great period of global Karate interest. I also highlights the different styles of Karate, from the host Kyokushin to the popular Shotokan. One of the more enjoyable parts of the film is the hair styles ofd the time, featuring some incredible affros. Some will notice tat the fighters are not allowd to punch the head or face, which severely limits many competitors. the film does have anegative bias towards some amrtial arts such as Kung Fu, but this proobaly has mroe to do with rivalry than fact. The influence of Bruce Lee on the film is also felt, as many seem to copy him. If you want to see something tangible of Karate or Martial aRts in general, watch this film
