We all know of course of GM Han in Billy Jack and Golden Goose, but my favortie is Phillip Rhee in Best of the Best 3 and 4. The montage of techniques over the end credits of BoB4 is worth the tape alone. Anyone else have fav HKD movies?

"Sting of the Dragon Master" (AKA "When Taekwondo Strikes") and "Hapkido" (with a cameo by Ji Han Jae) come to mind. Also, the bad guy in Jackie Chan's "Young Master" is a Hapkido practitioner.

Yep, Jackie Chan's "Young Master", and it follow up "Dragon Lord" feature Hapkido Grandmaster Wong In-Sik. (The final fights in both films last 20 minuets - amazing!) I think he also starts in "Hapkido", i'm yet to see it so cant confirm.

Though they very rarely say hapkido, most modern MA films owe alot to Hapkido and TKD. All the high kicks and falshy stuff came in thanks to hapkido masters. Up until then they were all kungfu styles with little kicking.

Bruce lee use TWD kicks for his films. Jacky Chan is trained and learn to kick in HKD as have all his stunt team. Sammo Hung learnt to kick through HKD.

Eh, I'll agree for the most part about Bruce and martial arts in the movies today, but not about Jackie and Sammo. After training in Wushu and Peking Opera for the greater part of their early life, you'd think they would have already learnt how to kick before taking Hapkido from Whang In-Shik. Granted, Jackie's first black belt came from Hapkido, but he was already very grounded in CMA prior to that.

He could already kick but korean kicking is very different to wushu kicking.
