First up is Street Fighter, for you, this was the most important day of your life, but for me, it was Wednesday. In the midst of a civil war in South East Asia, a general intensifies the climate of violence by kidnapping 63 UN delegates. To free the hostages, a cocaine infused colonel leads a group of fighters, who will have to use all their skills to be successful.

Next up is Mortal Kombat, it has begun, for nine generations an evil sorcerer has been victorious in hand-to-hand battle against his mortal enemies. If he wins a tenth Mortal Kombat tournament, desolation and evil will reign over the multiverse forever. To save Earth, Christopher Lambert must help guide three warriors to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds, their own inner demons, and superhuman foes in this action/adventure movie based on one of the most popular video games of all time.

First up is The Running Man, in the year 2019, America is a totalitarian state where the favorite television program is "The Running Man" -- a game show in which prisoners must fight against video game bosses to avoid a brutal death. Having been made a scapegoat by the government after refusing to kill unarmed protestors, an imprisoned Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has the opportunity to make it back to the outside again by being a contestant on the deadly show, although the twisted host, Damon Killian (Richard Dawson), has no intention of letting him escape.

Next up is Total Recall, Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a man who has become disenchanted with his steady job and waking up next to Sharon Stone in the year 2084 who dreams of visiting the colonized Mars. He visits "Rekall," a company that plants false memories into people's brains, in order to experience the thrill of Mars without having to travel there. But something goes wrong during the procedure; Quaid discovers that his entire life is actually a false memory and that the people who implanted it in his head now want him dead.

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.
