Member Secret Executioner Posted August 19, 2014 Member Share Posted August 19, 2014 There's also an Angela Mao movie with Muay Thai fighters. Can't remember the title, but I think it's in the Angela Mao Collection DVD set released recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those in-ring scenes were speeded up too much for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted August 20, 2014 Member Share Posted August 20, 2014 Doesn't Jackie Chan fight a boxer in Battle Creek Brawl? Oh, and Sammo fights a boxer as one of his 3 end fights in Enter the Fat Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member sifu iron perm Posted August 20, 2014 Member Share Posted August 20, 2014 legend of a fighter? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted August 21, 2014 Member Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hey now sifu iron perm, those were some classic boxing scenes in Legend of a Fighter. "1, 2, 2 1/2". I think the display of boxing was even worse in Fearless! I can't name too many good boxing vs kung fu scenes, except Ben Lam vs Cheung Gwok Wa in Angry Ranger. My favorite boxers that I've seen in martial arts movies are Chang Shan, Dick Wei, Donnie Yen and Chan Wai Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member rdenn Posted August 21, 2014 Member Share Posted August 21, 2014 that boxer from legend of the fighter must of been a random tourist they just invited on set... not really kung fu vs boxing but I think one of sonny chibas karate inferno movies had a really good boxer in there really decent.

I've always had a theory that he was a bum and they found him on the street, and said hey, we'll give you $50 to take a punch to the face. And then they threw him back out on the street. Now that I think about it though he does look like a tourist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member NoKUNGFUforYU Posted August 21, 2014 Member Share Posted August 21, 2014 If you can find this flick, it has a good fight where a boxer beats a psycho martial artist to death in a well staged, long fight- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087247/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_84 . Good boxers are faster with their hands then most kung fu guys- they have to be, you can't suck at boxing, you will just quit, or be abused. Most kung fu guys in the past had little contact training, and if you notice, you see very, very few chinese stylists, and chinese ethnicity at that, fighters in full contact through the 70s to the 90s. I don't count Cung Le or Alex Gong, they were TKD and Kyokushin trained, so they just don't count as gung fu. Now, there is Sanda, but that is not full contact Shaolin, it's kickboxing with a nice side kick and throws to neutralize Muay Thai. The thing is, once you go full contact, it all becomes pretty generic kick boxing or if hands only, boxing. Trapping doesn't work well against a boxer, they don't leave their punches out and have a different rhythm than most kung fu. Still, love my kung fu movies and being a boxer is incredibly hard on the brain, so I don't recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
