Thundering Mantis is good. I think it also went by another name like Crazy Mantis or something like that. Shaolin Temple has some mantis in it along with some wicked double hand gim by Yu Chenghui.

Eagle's Claw: Wang dow, Tommy Lee
Hot Cool and the Vicious: Tan Tao Lang, tommy Lee, Wang Dow.

Dance of the Drunken Mantis; Simon Yuen

Snake in the Eagles Shadow: one fight with J Chan.

Prodigal Son: Yeun Bau. One bodyguard does some mantis.

That's off the top of my head. By the way, I have Yu Cheng Hui doing his mantis (Wu Shu) when he was REAL young. (Wu Shu series from China)

Thanks all for the input, I got a few of the above listed, so ill review them fer ya....

Thundering Mantis--
good movie, shows training methods and how the learned moves work in a fight. must see end scene w/mantis guy freaking out.

Eagle Claw--nice flick, shows masked treachery and deception as well as many great fight sequences, all around best w/good costumes and dubbing.

more reviews later.

I have one recorded off the t.v. called 'Deadly Mantis' starring David Chiang. It's probably the best movie he ever did.

Jet Li's movie Shaolin Temple 2! There is a mantis sifu in there and a great final fight scene. He is also in Shaolin temple 1 and tai chi master. He is the bald sifu that's head of the temple.
