Oh! Man, I did not recognize MM. So Tang's the AC? Cool. I really like him as a screen fighter. He ought to get in front of the camera more. But I think it's good he's doing choreography work. It'll help him in the long run and hopefully give him some ideas to showcase himself at some point. Hope Don can keep up with the new kids; unless the action is scaled down to accommodate him. That's not intended as a diss, mind you. He just cut his teeth in a different era. As long as the choreography's good, I'll have no complaints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote up a little post about the film here: http://originalvidjunkie.blogspot.com/2014/09/newsploitation-bloodfist-makes-list.html And the greatest BLOODFIST poster ever: Great write up....it is also worth noting that not only was it the most sequelized, but also the most copied in which Corman and his Concorde Pictures did for the following: Full Contact (1993) - same premise, set in the alleys of Los Angeles with Jerry Trimble in the Wilson role. Angel Fist (1993) - same premise, except it was an all-female tournament starring the late Catya Sassoon in the Wilson role. Dragon Fire (1993) - same premise, set in Los Angeles 2050 with New York-based actor and martial artist Dominic LaBanca in the Wilson role. All three even say "based on a story by Robert King" King wrote the original screenplay for Bloodfist Then came of course, Bloodfist 2050 with Matt Mullins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member udar55 Posted September 22, 2014 Member Share Posted September 22, 2014 Thanks for the kind words, Albert. That is hilarious about King's script. Corman certainly got quite a bit of use out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted September 25, 2014 Member Share Posted September 25, 2014 The only movie I have seen with Don "The Dragon" Wilson is Batman Forever. I never really came across any of his movies back in the day, & I have to admit anything I have seen since then to me looks like z-movie quality. Don't watch his later films. You'll only be disappointed. His early stuff is pretty good. Bloodfist 1-4; Future Kick; & Black Belt. Try checking those out, especially the last one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted September 25, 2014 Member Share Posted September 25, 2014 Don also made cameos as himself in two of T.J. Roberts' films: Magic Kid (where he fights alongside Roberts in the final fight) and The Power Within (which he gives Roberts' character a pep talk in respecting martial arts and opponents) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Secret Executioner Posted December 28, 2014 Member Share Posted December 28, 2014 Been thinking it over and I'm considering checking out that guy. What movies are recommended ? Seems like everybody agrees on the Bloodfist franchise, but what else is there in his filmography that's worth a look ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted July 7, 2015 Member Share Posted July 7, 2015 Been thinking it over and I'm considering checking out that guy. What movies are recommended ? Seems like everybody agrees on the Bloodfist franchise, but what else is there in his filmography that's worth a look ? I don't know if you've gotten a chance to check it out yet GHW, but Ring of Fire is a good one. Don't expect Don to fight until the end, but the film has other pretty good fights in the film. This is the film that introduced me to Gary Daniels and Ron Yuan; great seeing Dale Jacoby from No Retreat No Surrender again and Vince Murdocco (who I first saw in Kickboxer 2) fighting again. Wilson choreographed the fights along with I believe it was Eric Lee, who plays drunken fighter Kwong. Ring of Fire II was okay but could have been better. I enjoyed Ring of Fire III though, especially when he and Bobbie Phillips take on some thugs outside of a grocery store and Don's son Jonathan proceeds to beat up the bag of groceries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with crap is, even if you push it all away, at best all you'll be left with is an ass. I don't think I've ever seen a single watchable Don 'The Dragon' Wilson movie. I respect him as a martial artist...as a screenfighter, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted October 19, 2015 Member Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Go to around 2:25 of this clip...Don "The Dragon" Wilson about to meet Dick Grayson...a little trivia: one of thugs who looks like he is wearing a grass skirt and throws a crescent kick at 3:41 before getting hit by Dick Grayson was the man who just narrowly lost the role to Chris O'Donnell...Michael Worth! And Chris O'Donnell's double was gymnast Mitch Gaylord (who played his brother in the movie) Edited October 19, 2015 by AlbertV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted October 26, 2015 Member Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) On Saturday, Don "The Dragon" Wilson received a sign at the Welcome to Cocoa Beach sign located on the corner of State Road 520 and Banana River Boulevard. He joins the likes of surfing legend Kelly Slater, former Miss Florida Melissa Witek, and a local basketball team. The sign recognizes famous names from the city and Wilson hailed from there during his days as a kickboxer before moving to Los Angeles. http://spacecoastdaily.com/2015/10/don-the-dragon-wilson-to-be-honored-by-city-of-cocoa-beach-saturday/ Edited October 26, 2015 by AlbertV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted October 29, 2015 Member Share Posted October 29, 2015 On Sunday, "The Dragon" received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Melbourne Independent Filmmakers' Festival in central Florida and The Martial Arts Kid won three awards. He actually messaged me as I was heading to the screening on Tuesday, hoping I will like the film and I did. He has two fights in the film and they are both a hoot IMO, but he is more of a mentor in the film overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
