    I don't think it's on DVD, but has anyone seen Ninja: The Final Duel? that is the best pure cheese film I've seen.

    It's got Shaolin Monks vs. Ninjas, black monks from Shaolin Harlem, white monks, and crazy karate guys.

    snake in an eagles shadow. realy cheesy but some good fu in it.

    actually...wait a minute, they are all tripe! hahahahaha.
    Good fun tripe though.
    The art of filmmaking was not as developed in that time as the art of kungfu. Chinese movies were terrible and painful to watch for the most part. but I'm just speaking from my limited whiteboy cultural perspective, so shame on me....unless, those really were poorly made movies with no clue about editing, audio and congruity.

    cheers
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Here's some of my favorites, you can usually find them cheap at Suncoast or Best Buy -

    Chinese Super Ninja (aka Five Element Ninja)

    Kid With The Golden Arm

    Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang

    Don't know if this fits under classic martial arts films but, can anyone tell me if there is a second part to Jet Li's Kung Fu Master?
    After a good two hours, they kinda left it hanging in the middle of the story. Thank You.

    Also, for all you Gordon Liu fans, I saw Jet Li's Last Hero In China and Jet and Gordon had a couple of fight scenes against each other in it. The classic Shaolin Master Killer is one of my all time favorites.

    newest classic I saw was ODD COUPLE.. get it!
    its not the comedy ODD COUPLE, but the one with Sammo Hung doing crazy weapon work.
    Mster Killer is a classic one also, and can't forget Prodigal Son, for their accurate wing tsun scenes.

    I have a question. What was the name of the movie that had David Chiang and Ti Lung in it that David was always coughing in and I think Ti was getting a tattoo on his chest for his girlfriend or something like that. I do remember it had a LOT of knife fighting in it. And, if you know the name have you seen it on DVD anywhere? Thanks
