First up is The Way of the Dragon, Tang Lung arrives in Rome to help his cousins in the restaurant business. They are being pressured to sell their property to the syndicate, who will stop at nothing to get what they want. When Tang arrives he poses a new threat to the syndicate, and they are unable to defeat him. The syndicate boss hires the best Japanese and European martial artists to fight Tang, but he easily finishes them off. This is the movie where he kills Chuck Norris in honorable combat after defeating multiple groups of goons with nothing but his abs and chop sticks.

Next up is Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee's final movie that was released a month after his death. In this James Bond inspired plot, Lee plays a martial arts expert determined to help capture the narcotics dealer whose gang was responsible for the death of his sister. Lee enters a face kicking competition on Epstein island in an attempt to fight his way to the dealer's headquarters with the help of some friends. This set the tone for the next couple decades of martial arts movies, inspiring a thousand imitations and considered his best.

We’ll start at 9PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies

Be there, comrades!

    Not sure what you mean by not understanding the webzone, you just goto https://live.hexbear.net/ and make an account if you want to talk in the chat. Probably gonna play The Running Man and Total Recall tomorrow so not every week is martial arts stuff. I'll add you to the list when I ping people tomorrow morning.

        There used to be a music channel but there's just usually not enough people online to warrant it and everyone adds stuff they want to watch before, in between and after movies anyways.
