On Chuck's site, there's a list of the movies where balisong appear.

Here is another list I did (sorry it's in French, I just copy-paste it... the English title is between parenthesis).

- American Warrior (American Ninja) avec Michael Dudikoff
- Le Chinois (The Big Brawl) avec Jackie Chan
Jack Burton dans les Griffes du Mandarin (Big Trouble in Little China) avec Kurt Russel
- Volte Face (Face Off) avec John Travolta, Nicholas Cage
- Dans les Griffes du Dragon Rouge (Showdown in Little Tokyo) avec Brandon Lee, Dolph Lundgren
- La Mommie (The Mummy)
- Karate Kid II avec Ralph Macchio
- L’arme Fatale 4 (Lethal Weapon 4) avec Mel Gibson, Jet Li
- Payback avec Mel Gibson
- Les Goonies
- Vampires (de John Carpenter, 1998)
- Punisher, avec Dolph Lundgren
- American Samurai, avec David Bradley

And I've just seen 2 low budget hollywood movies where a balisong appear (as usual, badly handled by a bad guy). This movies are :

- Ninja Turf (with Jun Chong, Phillip Rhee... for those who had liked Best Of The Best)
- Fight to Win (with George Chung, Richard Norton, Cynthia Rothrock...)

If you have seen balisong in other movies (even bad ninja movies :-) ) let me know. I'd like to complete my list.
Thanks

I think I remember seeing one in Alligator 2: The Mutation. Some guy starts reaching into his coat for a gun, and an "alligator hunter" with long white hair pulls out a balisong, whips it open really fast, and in the same motion, throws it. The guy reaching for his gun ducks, and the knife gets stuck in something wooden.

I am not sure about IT.... I seem to remeber the knife in that movie being an Italian Stilleto switchblade. There is definately one in Jason Goes to Manhatten

Stephen King's It? I think the knife is supposed to be a switchblade. At least it was in the book. I saw the movie too, but I wasn't paying too much attention.
 
Don't know if it has been listed yet, but the good guy carried one in Demon Night (Tales From The Crypt).
 
Don't forget `10 to Midnight' with Charles Bronson, the bad guy had a Spearpoint butterfly knife and in one scene I think he even nicked himself cause I thought I saw him flinch while manipulating it!

yeah, 10 to midnight.

Also Scott Glenn in Code Name Wildgeese .. It was the first time I knew what kind of knife being used (I was still confused while watching Streets of Fire)

Another one starred by Yama****a (the samurai master in Sword of Heaven the bad guy flashed many openings and trainging on straw dummies. The bali seemed to be frost/taylor .. (unsure)3 3/4 inch clip point ...

Another one but I forgot the title, story about Romeo Juliet kind of love but between Italian gang leader's younger brother and a Chinese woman belonging to another gang. The Italian gang leader was stabbed with a bali (another bad reputation build against bali)

Streets of Fire; good action, good music, good movie.

In the Mummy Brenden Fraiser's character uses one to remove a scarub (<==sp??) from under some dude's skin. Now there's a positive use for you. Removes flesh eating bugs.
