What about Steven Seagal movies since he's made so many? Would any of that happen in real life? I mean could he kick **s like they always show him doing? What about Bruce Lee movies? What about those movies where they show one guy beating up like 20 guys? Okay I have more questions but that's enough questions for one post.

Some of what Seagal has done in his movies would work. My teacher (a US federal officer) uses wrist locks and other joint locks include neck twists to take us down in class. My teacher has disarmed armed criminals by himself wristlock and neck cranks. When done right, you can get people to do somersaults in mid-air as you take them down, like in the movies.
One guy against 20? I have seen one kid, an 18 year old Marine on leave, take apart 3 teenage punks single handedly (one even had a broken bottle). He beat them down in under 10 seconds. We (there was 5 of us) didn't get the chance to help out. It caused the rest of the punks (about 20+) to back down. Yes, they could have taken him in a rush but none wanted to be his next victim.
I would probably say "Best of the Best" the original movie would be the most realistic martial arts in terms of story. The story followed a US Taekwondo team as they trained to take on the Korean team in a competition. (Best of the Best 2 was just ridiculous. Good for a laugh.)
I loved "Enter the Dragon" and Bruce Lee was a one tough SOB but I don't think he could taken apart 30+ people at once.

Steven Seagal movies are inaccurate, that Aikido is stylized (in a fight you don't just stand in one spot and let him magically throw you, like Ness from the first Smash Bros.). Lee's is harder to see: he was such a good stunt actor, but the majority of his training (like Wing Chun) wouldn't work in a real-life streetfight. It would be, however, possible to beat up 20 guys, but only if they stood in a circle and waited their turn.
Watch Ong-Bak: pretty much just straight Muay Thai, as Jaa held back. His other big movie,The Protector, has too much influence of his Silat, Aikido, TKD, and Muay Boran training.

why watch movies when you can watch real fights
watch boxing matches especially between the lighter wieght divisions to see some good technique
also watch kickboxing matches and thai rules matchs you should be able to get all of those or tape them off the tv if you check your tv guide i used to do that (to watch not as a training tool)

Hi, i fight MMA.
I can tell you, that that is the reason why those moves and such are in the MOVIES.
They don't work, or would NOT happen in real LIFE.
