Top 10 Martial Arts movies

[Crimson Phoenix]

Wan Ma Kai, I totally agree with you...

[Chang Style Novice]

I'm really into Fist of Legend. But then, I'm really into Yasuake Kurata and Billy Chow as well.

The Legend? Is that the pathetically *******ized Americanized version of Fong Sai Yuk?

Fave Jet movie: There are so many good ones it's so hard to call...my personal faves are:

Shaolin Temple
Tai-Chi Master
Bodyguard from Beijing
High Risk
Once Upon a Time in China 1 and 2
New Legend of SHaolin
My Father is a Hero

I even like The Master and Kung-Fu Cult Master. And I did like Born to Defense also. I'm not particularly fond of Hitman.

Amitabha!

We are trained in wushu; we must protect the Temple!

[Wan Ma Kai]

Something to think about: What if Liu Jia Liang was the fight choreographer for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and he used some of the actors and actresses from his old movies (Liu Jia Hui, Wang Long Wei,Hui Ying Hung,) in cameo appearances???? How different would the movie be?

I am having a hard time here. I have not seen many KF movies, but I have seen several that are making many of your lists and I really didn't like them.
Even movies I liked as a child (back in the Blackbelt Theater days)were painful to watch as an adult.

I used to love Five Deadly Venoms. Watched it now and thought it was really dumb.

I rented Taichi Master I and II. Hated them.

I rented Once Upon a Time in China. Not a fan.

Rented Green Hornet. Torture to watch.

I don't enjoy Bruce Lee's movies anymore.

So what did I like?
Of Jet Li's movies: Fist of Legend and Leathal Weapon IV

Of Chan's movies? I like every one I have seen (mostly the newer ones) NO WIRES=COOL

What wire movies did I like? Crouching Tiger (I thought the wirework fit in with the mythos of the setting) and The Matrix (once again in that context wires made sense).

Seagal was OK in Above the Law and both Under Siege I and II.

I liked Brandon Lee in Rapid Fire and The Crow.

I don't get mad.
I get stabby.

[RENEGADE_MONK]

I can agree,

I used to love the 5 venoms, and kid with the golden arm, but watching them now makes me cringe.

Some of the all time best movies are Sammo's production

Prodigal Son

The Victim- the fight scene towards the end against a mantis guy was well done.

You said you haven't seen many KF films, if you like i can email my complete list...of minus venoms and alot of the black belt theatre ones :cool:


So far I was able to please the toughest critics with my choices


:)

[honorisc]

Why cringe-ish? What do you dislike that you used to like?~ (not merely RENEGADE MONK).

Very some such, perhaps might have been, likely say some, some not.

[SanSoo Student]

Let's see, this is not in any particular order:
Shoalin Master Killer
Wheels on Meals
Fists of Fury
Once Upon TIme in China 2
Tai Chi Master (Twin Warriors)
Iron Monkey
Drunken Master 2
Prodigal Son
Blade Of Fury
Magnificent Butcher

[MonkSanTe]

1. Master Killer
2. Five Deadly Venoms
3. Mystery of Chess Boxing
4. Return of the Dragon
5. Eight Diagram Pole Fighters
6. Snake and Crane: Arts of Shaolin
7. Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang
8. Fist of Legend
9. Ten Tigers From Kwantung
10. Shaolin Challenges Ninja

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon would definitely be at the top of this list, but I consider it more than a martial arts movie. Anyway, my top ten change all of the time.
