If I had to say worst, it was those corny kid trio movies. I forgot what it was called.
The storyline in old chinese films were so bad tho. Every film was the same. The main characters friend gets murdered or kidnapped, he goes and kicks butt, gets laid by the lovely maiden of his choice and defeats the boss.
I swear I have watched 10 films that were almost all the same. It is kinda weird, rated R back then was way worse than now. Some of those films had major nudity.
How can Van Damme, a Euro martial arts champion if I'm not mistaken, be a pretty boy???? Cyborg, Bloodsport, Kickboxer, and In Hell are some of the best MA/MMA movies ever.
And TMNT was uber sick. The moves those guys were doing in those awesome costumes are a testament to their skill. Tell me you can add 50 pounds of cumbersome outfit and still be smooth, yeah right.
As for StreetFighter, Van Damme did do the flash kick and with his leaping ability I doubt it was wired.
As of right now I say War was the worst. Why have a movie with Jet Li and Jason Stathom and they not fight. I wasnt impressed.

Do not be fooled into thinking your enemy's sin is worse than yours, or that your's is better than his.
Off the top of my head, the one's I hated were:
-The next KArate Kid
-All the Van Damn movies
- Mortal Kombat one I liked a lot, but he 2nd one was horrible. hope the third is gonna be the best one
-All the Bruce Li, Bruce Le, Dragon Lee, and whoever the Bruce immitators are. Hate all their movies, because they had the crappy fighting. If you're gonna imitate your idol, then do it right, and actually immitate his style too, they did all the things wrong by using nothing but fancy crap. The on eI didn't mind was Dragon: the Bruce Lee Story (Jason Scott Lee was really good, and the best bruce immitator i've seen) and Bruce Li's "Bruc Lee, the Man and the myth"
I absolutely hated The Karate Kid III and The Next Karate Kid. They should have left those movies alone after the second one.

well i actually loved war. i wish they made more movies like it and jets performance as rogue was ubber awesome just like in Lethal Weapon 4. also i think one shouldnt look at it as a martial arts movie because we should know better sicne jet said no more wushu.

Elektra wasnt a martial arts movie. It was a comic book movie, huge difference.
No Retreat No Surrender was waaaaaaaaaaaay better than Karate Kid. Atleast there were real fight (scenes) in the movie.
As for War, there is no reason for Jet Li and Jason Stathom to be in the same damn movie and they not fight. I mean if they arent going to fight then the producers should have just hired anyone to play those roles. Lethal Weapon 4 was garbage, but it was better than the other 3.

Seen a lot of Hong Kong movies that were really, REALLY, bad. Can't seem to remember the titles right now. I think maybe my brain just doesn't want to remember. Most of them are on cheap DvD movie packs that friends/family get me because I like kung fu movies. As far as American films most Jean Claude Van Dam movies I don't really care for. Really can't stand Segal movies either. I mean come on, my nephew does a better job acting when he's trying to get out of trouble and he's seven. Don't think I can recall any follow up movies that I really like either.
