Martial Movie Massacre Part II: Magic, Woo & Mary Sue-Jutsu

Send us a text


The second part of these special extra podcasts features Ron Goin
with two guest commentaries on tropes/cliches that affect both
martial arts subculture and martial arts movies. Ron provides
insight into the corrosive effect of belief in mysticism had
undermined martial arts. He then focuses on the hackneyed device
of the lone man martial art bar brawl.

Regular podcast host, Jamie Clubb, explores discusses how magic
is a legitimate part of martial arts history and tradition, but
has no place in pragmatic practice. He also looks at the way
indestructible martial arts fighting styles both sell martial
arts short and have now become an increasingly tired element of
martial arts fiction. Tracing much of this to the legacy of the
iconic Bruce Lee, he puts it that Enter the Dragon is both the
Little Dragon's best and worst martial arts movie.
