Man, I just plain luvre them. Especially the really bad ones. When I was a kid in the 80s, I just ate them up. I can recall watching the "American Ninja" films one after the other & after that came the "Kickboxer" movies with Van Damme and then Sasha Mitchell. As the next movie in the series was released, the worse the movies became - Now they were the days.
But I'd definitely have to say the best/worst of all the Martial Arts movies were the "No Retreat No Surrender" ones. For cheesesiness alone, they were awesome! I just lurved the second NRNS with Matthias Hues - he was the ultimate Bad Guy. Especially in these two scenes:

Then again, the final fight scene from the first "No Retreat No Surrender" with the Bruce Lee flashbacks (WTH!) was also filled with all kinds of awesomesauce too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9_kC8gGW78
I know this may seem like a rubbish thread... but I lurve them & I'm sure there's more people than just me who would call themselves a fan of this genre.
