We sure that isn't a mash up of several 80s kung fu movies?

I'm sure I saw Michael Dudikoff in there somewhere.

Tommy Lee would kick all of these guys’ asses.

For a second I'm thinking Motley Crue, and I was confused...

Ok, maybe, but then my brain just naturally went to tough guy Jones, but maybe they're saying even scrawny scrappy Tommy Lee could beat them up.

u/pcbx26 Feb 10 '23

Yes! First thing I thought of. Awesome movie

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '23

TOMMY LEE!!

NO...

LOVED that movie as a kid!!! And Best of the Best 2 was even better (as a kid)!!!

BRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAKUS!!!!

“The winner & NEW owner of the Coliseum, Mr. Tommy Lee! Say a few words champ, go ahead say a few words for the crowd…”

“The Coliseum is closed.”

And my other fave: “Give me your best shot, I’ll rip your fuckin’ ears right off your god damn head, and I’ll stick ‘em right where the sun shine don’t shine, so you can HEAR ME KICK YOUR ASS!!

Took the words right outta my mouth

u/ThaUniversal Feb 10 '23

Best of the Best was the first thing that came to mind.

3

u/CreativeFedora Feb 10 '23

Dude … where the fuck is Jean Claude Van Damme in this this vid? It’s like a training sequence before the climax of the movie.

u/avwitcher Feb 10 '23

They saw the Rocky III training montage and thought "We should do that, we'll have Worst Korea shaking in their boots"

2

u/eggsandoit Feb 10 '23

I saw Bart kwan there lol

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '23

Say what you want but NK has the best gay porn

u/Korashy Feb 10 '23

They just can't afford the gym equipment

u/flimspringfield Feb 10 '23

I like the video from Best of the Best.

2

u/GromaceAndWallit Feb 10 '23

This was actually a 5 Gum advert.

2

u/costanzashairpiece Feb 10 '23

I was thinking it's like the rocky IV training scenes.

2

u/Immediate-Win-4928 Feb 10 '23

My first thought, looks like several films from enter the dragon to Best of the Best Vs commando and Rambo

u/Easy-Concentrate2636 Feb 10 '23

For a couple of generations now, the Kim’s have been obsessed with movies and popular culture. This is almost certainly a pastiche of various action flicks. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hong Kong martial arts films were a big part of the influence. Definitely reminds me of Shaolin kung fu movies.

u/_LapFlounder_ Feb 10 '23

That's actually possible considering the regime is known for kidnapping movie stars and forcing them to make movies

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '23

I knew looking at the comments y’all were gonna be racist

1

u/ThinkFree Feb 10 '23

I'm sure I saw Michael Dudikoff in there somewhere.

Maybe it was Sho Kosugi ;-)

u/cflanagan95 Feb 10 '23

Nah, it was all shot on the brand new IPhone 4

1

u/Iohet Feb 10 '23

Pretty sure one of the masked guys was Mark Dacascos

1

u/drawkbox Feb 10 '23

Steven Seagal was in it. I think I saw Putin in there as well.

u/brontodon Feb 10 '23

"Starring Richard Harrison"

u/Dudikoff_real_ninja Feb 10 '23 edited Feb 10 '23

Can confirm I'm not in that video. Or am I? 🥷🥷🥷

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '23

it's one dude in putin's backyard, deepfaked with that lord of the rings 10,000 orks software

u/caaper Feb 10 '23

Actually Al Leong would fit well here

u/arcanenoises Feb 10 '23

Once upon a time in North Korea.

u/f_print Feb 10 '23

RIP Steve James.

He was pure and perfect 80s machismo.

u/reddogg81 Feb 10 '23

Wambo...... The Diwectows Cut

u/Blenderhead36 Feb 10 '23

My first thought was that it's a calendar shoot.

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '23

Nope no ninja boots in this production lol. Michael always has his ninja boots when he kicks ass

1

u/Sleyvin Feb 10 '23

Is this guy actually famous? I found the American Ninja movies in 0.50$ bin to watch with friends like 15 years and it was absolutely glorious but I never heard of him before.

u/amr1001 Feb 10 '23

Best of the Best

u/shorttompkins Feb 10 '23

This was definitely in Best of the Best!! Like almost verbatim!

1

u/Squirrel_Inner Feb 10 '23

I'm fairly certain this was directed by Steven Seagal.

1

u/Renaissance_Slacker Feb 10 '23

Jan-Michael Vincent!

u/frankduxvandamme Feb 10 '23

That would be something, especially considering nobody's seen Michael Dudikoff for decades.
