Extinct movie genres

Burgomaster, there have been more Bigfoot movies in the 21st century than there were in the 20th! It's a veritable Sasquatch renaissance!

South African made ninja and martial arts films sadly. Most of those were fun to watch. 😊😊🐢

Not too many jungle adventure movies anymore. 

[RCMerchant]

Not to many pro war pictures, like GUNG HO (1943) or the GREEN BERETS (1968) making the rounds.

I swear there's a recent one on DVD in my local hmv literally called BIGFOOT with a quote saying "If you like Bigfoot movies you'll love this!" on the box

They probably could've cut right to the chase and written "If you're M.10RDA you'll have no choice but to watch this!"

hah. wouldn't class myself as any kind of expert but I've seen a bunch... my fav is the one that starts off with  students in a classroom learning about them. late 60s or early 70s?

[M.10rda]

There's a bunch that begin with students getting lectured about Bigfoot. Heck, it's almost an extinct sub-genre all its own!

 yeah I think I have actually seen at least one other that does that... what a niche.

Blaxploitation and Bruceploitation movies were products of their times, and are very few and far between now.

Oddly, these genres had a kind of renaissance in the hip hop action movies which came and went in the early 2000s, the first of which I know is Romeo Must Die (2000) starring Jet Li and Aaliyah.

Another was Cradle 2 The Grave (2003) starring DMX and Jet Li.

Exit Wounds (2001) starred Steven Seagal and DMX, and was one of the last halfway decent Steven Seagal movies.

These movies mostly served as vehicles to pair a martial artist with a hip hop or RnB singer, cashing in on the popularity of Hong Kong choreography in Hollywood which began with The Matrix (1999).
