Favorite combat sports movies ?

So I just saw this trailer that came out of a Dutch movie "Wolf" about a Kickboxer, it looks to be somewhat inspired by all the Badr Hari commotion going on over here. It's been getting some pretty good reviews and I'm excited to see it, I don't know if it will come out in other countries but here is the trailer if you're interested :


So my question is what are your favorite movies about fight sports ?

I like the Rocky movies, Cinderella man was a good Boxing movie about James Braddock and I also liked "Warrior" the MMA movie.

I have to say Bloodsport and Champion.

Bloodsport is awesome, forgot about that one, Kickboxer is good too. Don't think I've seen Champion.

Mortal Kombat

Mark Kerr's documentary smashing machine hands down best combat sports movie I've ever watched.

That's a great documentary.

Really shows how crazy his struggles with addiction has been. Maybe I should post it in the documentary subforum.

Mortal Kombat Annihilation for me.

lol j/k

As a youngster, I was a huge fan of Bloodsport. That may have been the first combat sports movie I'd watched. I have to go with Rocky as well. I don't know if it counts as a combat sports movie, but the Karate Kid was an influential film for me too. There was also another movie in the early 90's called Sidekicks which was basically just another Karate Kid with a more comedic aspect, such as the climax of the movie being a hilarious showdown between Chuck Norris and Joe Piscipo at a karate tournament. But there were some pretty badass scenes in it. This scene really stuck in my mind as a kid. Amazing display of skill.



All of these films are partially responsible for me being such a fan of martial arts today, and I'm grateful to have grown up with such films. You don't really get this kind of stuff these days. Sad times.

As a kid it was Lionheart.

Of course Rocky 4. I wanted the swede to win  

Who doesn´t love Drunken Master? Jackie Chans best Movie

Seeing some great movies, Lionheart is badass:) 

I heard they where gonna make a Rocky spinoff called Creed, about Apollo's grandson and Rocky would be in the movie aswell, that would be awesome.

Back in highschool, I remember watching Vision Quest. I thought it was decent at the time.

Speaking of Chuck Norris, did anyone ever watch the movie The Octagon? It wasn't really a combat "sport" movie but I used to love watching that flick with my dad as a lad.

Vision Quest
"I'm gonna drop to 168 and wrestle Shute.."

"Shute!? Shute's a monster! A genuine geratoid. His own father has to use a livewire to keep him from fuckin' the fireplace."

I watched fightville the other day a documentary about a gym in Louisiana where Dustin poirier trains and its about a promoter putting on fights and behind scenes look at setting up and booking fights also follows poirier up until his debut in ufc.

Also features Tim creduer the ufc fighter who owns the gym and also follows a couple other guys from the gym who fight.
