What was the last good "Kung Fu" movie you seen?

[Ray Pina]

Anything recent that you really liked?

The last one that blew me away was that French film, with the wolf/monster. Obviously Crouching Tiger and even Kung Fu Hustle. Am I missing anything awesome?

[sanjuro_ronin]

Pretty much anything with Donnie Yen is good, but as of late, IP Man.

[Lucas]

have you watched any of the more recent donnie films? flash point, shapolong, etc. pretty good stuff. you would like flash point i think for the end fight, sha po long has a super sick knife vs baton fight in it.

Donnie Yen is the Nicole Kidman of HK cinema.

Dude can't move his face. Apparently this is not a prerequisite for making The Chun appear effective and stylish.

Incidentally I found this movie last night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m4cC8A5P_4

Face moving is for porn stars :D

[Lucas]

he only needs angry face anyway, in kungfu movie angry face is used for all emotion.

[wenshu]

When your angry face looks exactly like your mild contentment face. . .

[sanjuro_ronin]

Happy = Angry face
sexy = Angry face
hungry = Angry face
laughing = Angry face
take a crap = Angry face
taking a leak = Angry face
scratch balls = Angry face
Having dinner = Angry face

[Lucas]

hahahah this made me laugh so hard

[sanjuro_ronin]

hahahah this made me laugh so hard

With an angry face?

[Lucas]

you have to ask?

Man, y'all bash anything. It's like that old Mikey cereal ad "He won't like it. He hates everything."

Ray, to get back OT, check out Gallants (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57614). It's not a major big production. Actually, it's a small film, but it's got great heart, especially if you're an old skool type. That was my pick for 2011.

Gene, I just watched this movie at your recommendation. It's absolutely fantastic.

Awww. I do it out of love. I hate from a place of love.

I think Donnie's great.

But you gotta admit the plastic surgery is a little out of control.

I agree that while Donnie is the best at this time, not every Donnie Yen movie (or movie with him in it) has outstanding fighting in it. One great example of that was Dragon Gate Inn. Legend of the Wolf is only OK, but only one or two good fights in it. Seven Swords is pretty good, but Donnie's performance in it wasn't really outstanding. Donnie makes a LOT of movies, so once in a while they can be hit or miss.

There have been others, IMO, who were as talented onscreen as DY in their own way physically, but also were much better/more versatile/more charismatic at acting.

Ninjas have been dispatched to shave your privates while you sleep

That just turns them on, they use it for lube...you have been warned !

That would sure save me a lot of trouble. Send them my way SR. I hate clogging up the shower drain.

Better still I know of a couple females that need those ninja to visit them on a regular basis...

i think donnie is the best.

[shaolin_allan]

speaking of donnie the last good movie i watched was the lost bladesman. i liked the history in it even though loosely based and it showed one of donnie's fav weapons which seems to be the guan dao. also shaolin 2011 was excellent.

man im behind i havnt seen either of those...which one do you think is better?

[shaolin_allan]

well i liked them both for different reasons to be honest so I cant really pick one over the other. one had a great message about buddhism in it and the other showed some conflict in china between liu bei and guan yu so both rocked.

[JamesC]

I thought Shaolin was great.

I'll be honest, it tugged on my heart strings a few times too.

[shaolin_allan]

i agree shaolin had a strong message and i enjoyed it. i just watched a korean kf movie called sword in the moon it had awesome sword fight scenes.

[Hebrew Hammer]

Muy Thai Fighter....more of a buddy film/ Thai gangster movie not bad though...

The Lost Bladesman, my review posted on that link...but agree with others Donnie Yen is NOT a good actor, but does have a good Angry Face.

[SC36DC]

I finally got around to watching Ip Man 1 & 2, and absolutely LOVED THEM both.

Shaolin, I also really enjoyed.

I usually mostly watch classic kung fu movies, but these were some of the newest released films that I've seen.
