    I'm looking for recommendations for martial arts/fighting films that are along the same lines as the following:

    Enter the Dragon
    Rocky
    The Karate Kid
    No Retreat No Surrender
    Kickboxer
    Bloodsport
    Undisputed 1,2
    Best of the Best

    They either have a martial arts/fighting tournament in them or one big fight at the end.

    I know most of these films are pretty bad but I find them entertaining anyway :D

    Anyone know anymore like the above?

    Fearless. It's the best MA film I've seen in a long time. Kicks the **** out of everything listed, IMO. Watch it now!

    Born To Fight. It's basically 90 minutes of obscene martial arts and mindless shooting...excellent.

    Ummmm ....

    The Quest
    Only The Strong
    Best of The Best (as you already mentioned)
    Kickboxer (1 = Good, 2 = Watchable, 3&4 = Terrible, 5 = Watchable)
    Unleashed

    I would call Born to Fight more of a stunt movie than a martial arts movie to be honest, but it is worth a look. Ong Bak will definitely be up your street!

    although it has special effects and a fair bit of humour, Kung Fu Hustle was a great movie imo!

    Warrior King (aka Tom-Yum Goong) has the same star as Ong Bak, but is not as good as it

    I would also recommend both Azumi (more swordplay, but very stylish) & Versus (swords, kung-fu, guns & zombies!!!)

    And for THE ULTIMATE RIDICULOUS MARTIAL ARTS MOVIE, everyone should really check out THE STORY OF RICKY aka RIKI-OH

    Also if you like Mark Ducascos try Les Pacs does Loupes (brotherhood of the wolf) it has some great fights from Ducascos and Monica Belucci's ass
