    favorite kung fu movies

    havent had one of these in awhile so i figure what the heck

    personally (my top two):

    #1 - Iron Monkey - i love this movie with a passion, i dont know why. the kung fu scenes are excellent. and the name ownz. fighting on burning poles ownz.

    #2 - Drunken Master (the original) - humorous, good kung fu and the part where jackie chan does some insane forms always makes me want to go train, even though my wing chun forms look nothing remotely close to that.

    Chinese super ninja's. Or five deadly venoms. They have the fakest hair i've ever seen, the worst actors, crappy dialoque, and choppy fight scenes. They are the best movies ever.

    Naah, that's Shaolin Temple II.

    ST3 is the one where Jet's gang plans to kill the ruthless emperor.

    I have about 50 or 60 favorites. Because I'm an idiot with no life.

    This seems like as good a place as any to ask a quiestion that's been on my mind for a while now, though.

    In Wheels on Meals, there are three big final fight scenes. The most famous (and it is in my estimation the most exciting kungfu fight ever filmed) is between Jackie Chan and Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez. The other two are pretty cool, too, though, and I have no idea who the foes are, what kind of notoriety they may have, and what else I might be able to see them in.

    Yuen Biao wins his fight by fleeing acrobatically from the second henchman, eventually tiring him out, then smashing a pitcher upside his head. Who's the guy with the headache, and is he a real life kungfu badass or just some dude?

    Sammo Hung chases the evil count into an antique armory, and finds himself outfenced until he can glom onto a pair of duelling sabers, which he wields like double jian. This strategy stalemates the evil fencing count until jackie and Biao show up. Who is the evil count, and is he a real-life fencing badass, or just some dude?

    It'd be nice to think that with Benny the Jet playing one villain, they got equally talented scrappers to play the others.
    All my fight strategy is based on deliberately injuring my opponents. -

    First you get good, then you get fast, then you get good and fast.
