6) Kingpin

Woody Harrelson plays Roy Munson, a former bowling prodigy who was on the rise. He was screwed over by Big Ern McCracken, losing his bowling hand in the process. Munson meets up with an Amish bowler named Ishmael, played by Randy Quaid. The two set out for Reno, Nevada for a Million Dollar Winner-Take-All tournament. In the end, Ishamael breaks his hand, and Roy Munson has to step in and compete against his old enemy Big Ern.

This is one of my favourite Farrelly Brothers films, because the cast is great and there are tons of memorable scenes.


5) Enter the Dragon

This film involves a tournament on an island. Three men, Lee (played by Bruce Lee), Roper, and William. The three are smashing their way through the tournament while Lee investigates Han, the main villain's heroin and opium smuggling plans. In true 70's racist fashion Williams is the only casualty for the good guys as he dies at the hands of Han, a one-handed man with a collection of deadly attachments for his stump.

Here is Lee vs O'Hara, who actually had his sternum broken by the running thrust kick in the fight. Food for thought.
