Kung Fu Pizza Party

"If good men do nothing, that is evil enough."

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Today, we are back at the Arcade again this time with a look at the 1994 cult classic Street Fighter starring Jean Claude Van Damme. Street Fighter is a rare example of a financially successful cult classic; a film so rejected by fans and critics that over 30 years later it has manged to gather a cult following. In this episode, I look at the many changes that the movie makes despite being clearly inspired by Street Fighter II, but also highlight how this film manged to make all the right decisions to become beloved later in life.

"I need to hurry up and get this done, I need some breakfast."

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party, and today we are headed back to the Arcade with my review of Resident Evil: Damnation. Damnation has the unique status of bing a film rated 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, and being called by IGN the best Resident Evil film to date circa 2012. So for once I actually get to ask the question, is Resident Evil: Damnation really that GOOD?

"This time, finish what you started."

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Piizza Party. Today, I am sitting down to re-review this year's Blessed Takayama Memorial Cup Winner, Big George Foreman starring Khris Davis. This time around, I look at the Critics Score on Rotten Tomatoes and discuss how it is important to have these kinds of movies, sports biopics that bring you hope. If a person like George Foreman can make a comeback in his late age, surely I can get through another day of being a stay-at-home parent.

"The knife culture is still active today."

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Today, I sit down to look at a training film that has gotten famous over the years on certain circles of the internet. This is my review of 1988s Suriving Edged Weapons from Calibre Press; a film designed to train local law enforcement officers on why it is important to take edged weapons seriously. As a training film it already has a level of camp to it, but by 2026 standards and what we now know about violent crimes in America, the film goes from dated to harmful very quickly.

"Strength through order, that is Tekken."

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Today, we are headed back once more to the Arcade as I dive into the world of Tekken. the 2009 film Tekken is considered to be one of the worst martial art films ever made with a flat 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Throughout this series, however, I have continually reviewed poorly received films. Is Tekken really that bad, or have I been preparing for the final boss in the King of Dookie Fist Tournament?

"I am not a cricket in a box"

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Today, we are headed back to the Arcade this time with a review of the 2006 film DOA: Dead or Alive. After diving into the game's history, success, and interest in volleyball, I review what honestly should have been a way more successful film. How did a film directed by the great Corey Yuen only gross $7 million off of a $30 million budget? Is the film really as bad as critics say it is? DOA is Charlie's Angels meets a Go Daddy commercial and I'm here for every sexy sexy bit of it.

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Today, I dive into one of the most common questions in the martial art community, what is the best martial art? Often times this conversation boils down to either the martial art that can give me the best tools to win a fight, or whatever is the one I can best make fit in my life. But, I offer a bigger answer that looks beyond just the tools to winning a fight to answer this question.

"God made you to win!"

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Today, I am here to introduce you all to a widely popular part of Evangelical Pop Culture with a review of John Jacobs and The Power Team Touches the World. The Power Team were an unstoppable force in the late 80s through the 90s, and this film highlights their amazing feats of strength as they toured all over the world, including the Soviet Union. Join me as discuss how nostalgia wins even with cringe Evangelical Pop Culture, and listen as I get weirdly confident that I too could do some of these stunts.

The cheif export of Chuck Norris is pain.

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. As we continue to Celebrate the Ultimate Apex Predator (get bent sharks!), I sit down to review 1981's An Eye for an Eye. This film features a stacked cast of B action stars, unique fight choreography for Chuck, but manages to miss the sauce when it comes to the execution. It should be a neck-snapping good time, but sadly it is not.
