Martial Arts movies

[L.S.D]

How can you guys forget Kung Fu Hustle?!?

[Shoma]

I loved Jackie Chan's Drunken fist movie, I dont remeber the name though.

American stunt actors got nuthin on asian actors when it comes to action.

And....sooooorta Transporter 2...

I want to see that movie with the Transporter guy VS JEt Li.

 

How can you guys forget Kung Fu Hustle?!?

I loveed dat movie, but it was more comedy than action for me.

 

(They need to make a R.S./ P.J. Movie! YOSHA!)

Okay these are pretty old, but you have to see em

 

The 36 Chambers of Shaolin (Be careful with this one, im listing a few, but there are really 3 movies that are all related/follow the same storyline and have the same actor, and you have to see all three, but each one has like 5 different titles and really its only 3 movies so i would start by wiki-ing the actor or something to find all three english titles/whatever format you prefer watching)

 

King Boxer AKA 5 Fingers Of Death

Shaolin Master Killer

Shoalin Wu-Tang

Any Sonny Chiba movies you can find

[veristic]

This may not be your typical martial arts film, but its definitely worth watching regardless.

 

Seven Samurai by Akira Kurosawa. And no... i'm not referring to the anime.

Azumi 1 and 2 is good

Zaitoichi - the old ones and the new one is good too

[Shibathedog]

ha! those are the ones I couldn't remember.

 

I second all those, very good, although i haven't seen Azumi 2, only the first one.

[2eyez]

Those are good

 

I forgot to mention, Sonny Chiba did the very first Street Figther Movie. Old kung fu flick.

Once upon a time in China 1,2,3 - all by Jet Li

[onetrueblade]

Legend of the swordsman ( crazy supernatural fantasy action)

Iron monkey (What can i say? A classic)

Story of Ricky n ( craziest bloodfest i can think of)

Fist of the red dragon (Pretty funny, but great kung fu from donny yen)

Karate forever (Sony chiba. Nuff said)

36 chambers of shaolin (A classic)

The flying guillotine (Cheesy, maybe but so what?)

Karate bear fighter (More great chiba with a funky soundtrack. plus a guy in a bear suit gets the bejesus whupped out of him.)

you already said fist of legend

The protector (Stunts, stunts, stunts)

Ong-Bak (Tony Jaa is phenominal)

Killzone (excellent story, acting and action. Sammo hung V.S. donny yen is worth the price if you buy it.)

shaolin soccer (Precursor to kung fu hustle. A great watch)

Can't go wrong with any jackie chan movie. (Even The Tuxedo. I don't care. Chan is the man.)

The crippled masters (Legless kung fu master teams up with an armless master to kick ass. no lie)

Billy jack (Ever wonder where that "left foot on the right side of your face" line came from?)

 

i guess that's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'll think and post more later if you wish.

 

Btw i tried not to list ones that I saw had been posted by others.

Yeah! They did a spectacular job with it actually. For such a near- offensive concept they knocked it out of the park without negatively exploiting the stars. I was trying to think of another one to put on, but I can't remember the title. It was a shaw brothers film, and in the last scene the hero is dressed in white and slaughters a ton of guys on a bridge, but gets beaten and captured then his enemies draw and quarter him. It ends with wild horses running off dragging the hero's body parts. Does that ring a bell for anyone? I just can't think of the title for the life of me.
