The Buddhist Fist, if for nothing else the chopstick-fighting-poison-dart scene with the hunchback assassin.
I've seen Shaolin Temple I, where can I get II & III?

There is a great streak of violence in every human being. If it is not channeled and understood, it will break out in war or in madness. ~Sam Peckinpah

Did anybody hear something?

Return... is okay, but not a patch on the original. I really like the fact that the motivating force getting Gordon Liu to Shaolin is a labor dispute, though!

Ha, yeah, that's some irony. He wants to learn kungfu to defend his co-workers at the fabric plant, and ends up working for shaolin temple for a year for free - only he's getting what he came for and doesn't even know it!
Um, my favorites, yeah...
I have a special fondness for the late seventies/early eighties Golden Harvest stuff teaming some combination of Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung, and Ya Kan Leung - Knockabout, Prodigal Son, Magnificent Butcher, The Victim (maybe my favorite ever!), and so on.

Too many to name.
Am I the only guy that kinda digs Dragon Lee? Yeah, I know he's a Bruce Lee knockoff. And korean, if I'm not mistaken. But two of the first saturday afternoon 'kunf fu theater' entries I ever saw were his movies. And I've wanted to get a copy of them ever since.

Im surprised no one said ninja scroll.
whenever i mention forigen flicks in a conversation some one pops that ups. (yes it is not a KF flick, just ranting)
***SONIC KICK***

Ooh. Maybe I am, yeah. I suppose there's not an awful lot of point ordering something like that on DVD. I have 'Shaolin vs. Ninja' on DVD (another old favorite). And the quality's terrible, there's no extra stuff, etc.

Invincible Armor is good especially concidering it came out in '77.
Born Invincible a Carter Wong flick, good stuff.

Well, nobody's going to accidentally tape over a DVD, at least. Otherwise, I agree. Except that apparently the new issues of the Shaw Bros. flicks are going to get the royal treatment according to the articles I've read, like the one in this month's issue of Kungfu Qigong Magazine.I suppose there's not an awful lot of point ordering something like that on DVD. I have 'Shaolin vs. Ninja' on DVD (another old favorite). And the quality's terrible, there's no extra stuff, etc.
I'd love to see some of these things in the widescreen, full length versions they were meant to be. My copies of Iron Flag and Chinatown Kid are apparently missing almost a half hour each! And Chinatown Kid is missing about half the picture frame for sure.

Hmm... I'll have to keep an eye out for these. Though, I have to say, Shaolin vs. Ninja was still fun from an MST3K perspective. But not so much from a kung fu angle anymore. Disappointing, that.

AP... I've gotten that one, just put it in and it plays, not even any chapter selection.

And it's got a couple of blank patches in it too, right? (Or is that just mine?)

Peace is not the product of terror or fear.
Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all.
Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity.
It is right and it is duty.
Too funky for myself
Yeah, Keith Vitale was a big competitor in the 70s and 80s, right? Taekwondo expert. And star of such screen gems as 'Revenge of the Ninja' and 'No Retreat, No Surrender 3.'
...
Yes, I've seen both of them. Repeatedly.
...
I feel shame. [sob]
