Title: Karate movie I need help with
Post by: Oosh on August 03, 2014, 03:20:56 PM
There is this karate movie I seen when I was small. It had a group of kids that knew karate. I believe they were foster kids but I don't recalling them showing their parents in the movie. I mostly remember their sister got kidnaped and they went looking for her they fought a gang to get her back in a ware house. I remember the older kid wore red a lot in the movie and I think the girl wore yellow or I could have been white, but she had her hair tied back. Sorry for a choppy descriptions of the movie. I just remember tiny bits and pieces of the movie. I hope some one can help me find the name of the movie.

Probably one of the 3 Ninjas films...I'm pretty sure your description matches one of the sequels only I don't think she was their sister...

So it's older than the 3 Ninjas films? Your description is pretty close to 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain

You think you were too young to remember if it was his sister? It might be the Kirate Kid, the very first one.

No it wasn't any of the karate movies. There were more then 3 of them I think there was 6 or more kids one girl and the rest were boys.

How long ago was it when you were small? That may help in getting a timeframe for the movie.

The first thing that came to mind from your description, though with noticeable differences, is The Little Dragons (1979), put out on DVD as Karate Kids USA.

The main differences from your description is that the girl kidnapped is not their sister, but a love interest of the older brother he meets when they go to an RV park with their grandfather (I don't recall if they were sent off with him by their parents or not, but they are not with their parents through the movie). They do wear standard white karate gis, though pics I have seen for a DVD cover or movie poster shows the elder brother wearing a red belt. The guys doing the kidnapping are hillbillies who, I believe, hold her captive in their house; and their overbearing mother is played by Ann Sothern.

There is a motorcycle gang is this, but the kids don't fight them, they actually help the kids.

I get the impression that kidnapping a girl and having the karate dudes come to the rescue is a common theme is these types of movies.

Nope it's not that movie. I think I was 6 when I seen that movie but that movie was old I believe it was made in the 80s or early 90s.  I think it was a foreign movie because the city was not a us city.
