Martial Arts Masters - Who Needs a Plot?

Bruce Lee was the first martial artist whose skills alone would bring an audience to the cinema. It took 15 years to properly emulate that, at least with a Westerner. Some may say that we always had Chuck Norris after “Return of the Dragon”, but with him taking from Lee, “Never let the other guy look better,” his Cannon Group schtick got old pretty quickly.

We may have got conned by Steven Seagal, and even Jean-Claude Van Damme since Frank Dux is full of excrement, but how could you not admire these almost normal looking guys who did not need powerful guns to save the day. Perhaps Arnie and Sly should have laid off the weights and calories to become true killing machines.
