Everyone loves a good fight scene. But you know what most good fight scenes lack? An awesome song to go along with it. Right? Right?

But have no fear, for I’ve found seven movies that know how to treat a fight scene.

The Last Dragon – The Last Dragon Anthem, Dwight David

First off, if you don’t own this movie you can’t possibly be human. And if you do own this movie and you don’t know this song by heart, you can’t possibly be human.

Karate Kid – You’re the Best Around, Joe Esposito

I don’t need to explain this one. It’s Daniel LaRusso and Kobra Kai (says, No Mercy!) fighting to “You’re the Best Around”. I know you know all the words to this song. You don’t have to admit it.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Oooze – Ninja Rap, Vanilla Ice

Ok, I can explain……

You know what? Screw it.

I know this song word for word. And you know what else? This song is awesome. There. I said it.

Rocky III – Eye of the Tiger, Survivor

Boxing is fighting, right? Good. Since we’re allowing boxing, there’s no way I could make this list without “Eye of the Tiger”. Absolutely no way.

Office Space – Still, Geto Boyz

This isn’t a fight per se, but only because the fax machine doesn’t fight back. But there are weapons involved and you can never go wrong with a Geto Boys song, so it makes the list. Deal with it.

I’m Gonna Git You Sucka – Kung Fu Fighting, Carl Douglas

One of my favorite movies of all time. In this classic clip, Kung Fu Joe roughs up a few cops while, wait for it………”Kung Fu Fighting” is playing. Does it get any better than that?

Charlie’s Angels – Smack My B*tch Up, Prodigy

Ah, Charlie’s Angels. Ah, Charlie’s Angels. Ah, Charlie’s Angels. Gotta give this movie mad props. They could’ve just left it at 3 beautiful women kicking tail. That would’ve been good enough. But they went the extra mile and dropped a track like “Smack My B*tch Up” in the middle of 3 beautiful women kicking tail.

Bet you didn’t think that Kung Fu Friday would fall so early in the Calendar year. Think again my little Shaolin swordstylists!

And I’ve got a special Kung Fu Friday surprise coming your way later on, so keep your head firmly on a swivel and check back with the SB dojo in the P.M.

A cache of Kung Fu Friday pics after the links…

Bruce Lee died a young man at 32 in 1978. Before that he gave us kung-fu classics with such names as Game of Death, Fists of Fury and Enter The Dragon.

He delivered such classic lines as boards don’t hit back and I have come to avenge my teacher. This doesn’t concern you…scram.

And how do we repay him? Bruce Lee: Journey to the West, The musical…probably featuring a score by Bjork.

May 21, 2008 — Does legendary martial-arts man Bruce Lee have a future on Broadway? It appears so, with the announcement yesterday by Elephant Eye Theatrical of “Bruce Lee: Journey to the West,” a new musical slated for New York sometime during the 2010-11 season. (via New York Post)

I’m pretty sure the totally awesome spirit of Bruce Lee feels that you’ve offended the Shaolin Temple on this one.

Because folks, this is what Broadway does…

…And this is what Bruce does.

I’d like to remember 109 lb. Bruce jump kicking Kareem in a pair of ASICS, not being played by a Filipino chick from Cirque de Soleil at the Neil Simon Theater, is that too much to ask?
