oscar Lee re-evaluation?
« on: February 16, 2010, 09:41:23 AM »
In a very dogmatic manner, I've always considered oscar Lee to be the best. Jackie Chan came around and was more about stunt fighting with chairs and using props. But I always knew oscar could dominate Jackie. Jet Li showed up on the big screen and kicked Mel Gibson and Danny Glover around pretty good. Jet seemed like an efficient warrior. But oscar would out smart Jet and probably take his knees out early in the fight.

Now we've got this MMA stuff with Kimbo Slice and all sorts of meth addicted "crazies" running around. I'm not so sure oscar Lee could take out some of these lunatics. These guys would fight dirty and probably trick oscar into a trap. I'm not saying I like the MMA stuff at all. I despise the trash of the world who wear "tapout" or "affliction" stuff. These people are borderline immoral  to me. And maybe I'm afraid of them too and that's why I question my thinking that oscar Lee is the baddest sonofabitch out there.

Could oscar Lee win the MMA title and would he have to learn a new style of fighting to do so?

You know what is an absolute treat?  Re-watching all the American Ninja movies that seemed so elite as a kid.

The ultimate game...

One big argument my friends and I had- who would win in a fight between Mike Tyson and oscar Lee in their prime. People automatically assume oscar, but I think it would be alot close than most might think.

PS. Monkey guy would indeed rule all.

Some of you fella's have tremendous sarcastic abilities and I find it hard to adequately gauge your true feelings. Which is why whoever said that "American Ninja" and/or 3 ninjas was the "best" ninja movies of all time is flat out false.

Revenge of the Ninja http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086192/ is by far the most elite ninja movie ever crafted. At least on American soil. It's on another plane of ninja eliteness.

I really enjoy watching the old '80's versions of ninja/karate movies in my spare time. Sometimes if my satelite dish is tilted correctly, I can catch on older Hong Kong produced karate movie and delve deeper into my inner warrior.

But, there's really nothing that compares to oscar Lee. His presense and air about him just oozes elite. Anyone who says oscar isn't the best is just flat wrong and fooling themselves.

Never saw Three Ninjas.  Were the three ninjas played by Hulk Hogan, Loni Anderson and Jim Varney?  Because that sounds like it would be a pretty elite movie.

It's the cannonball run of ninja movies (means it's the best)

oscar, after his injury and subsequent revolutionizing of karate, would destroy anyone in MMA. These MMA fighters work with grapples and takedowns and need better standup toe to toe game to even have a chance with the original Dragon. He would drop anyone, jumpkick to the head, lights out. MMA is for bar bouncers and assholes who want to go "Pro".

Any movie with Hulk Hogan AND Jim Varney is arguably one of the most elite movies of all-time.   :comehere:

You're my personal savior man! I watched this when I was a kid and my brother brought it up a few years ago. He had searched for it, but could never could find it. So I did the same, but like ratards, we were searching for Jim Kata, like it was his rough ridin' name.

It's like the weight of the world has been lifted off and I can breathe again. Thanks to you dude!!
