Post subject:  What's your favourite martial arts film?
Just wondering what everyone's favourite martial arts film was? I've enjoyed watching loads over the previous months and think my favourite has to be:
Fist of Legend (1994)
Its actually a remake of another really great film which is Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury, but its a much tighter version in my opinion and the action sequences are pretty immense.

I've been through and watched the old Jackie Chan films which, although have a bit too much slapstick in, are pretty awesome... especially the Drunken Master films (Drunken Master II (1994) being the better).

The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin: viewtopic.php?t=10478

Great movie with a revenge plot and insights of some Shaolin temples. :)

I don't like martial arts films. I enjoyed some weird installments, like Crippled Masters. In total I have watched maybe 10. I liked Shaolin Soccer the best.

I preferred Kung Fu Hustle to Shaolin Soccer... same writer/director/star (Stephen Chow), have you seen that Slayer?

Nope. Only ones I can remember now are Soccer, Crippled Masters, Shaolin vs Evil Dead, and several movie in which kung fu plays a part, but not very big, or just for laughs (Super Inframan, Kung Pow). Like I said, I watched very few. It's not my thing.

wow, you gotta watch Kung Fu Hustle then.. its brilliant :)

Its *almost* my favourite martial arts movie but is needed at the post for not being a 'real' martial arts movie.

I posted it for you:

Although its got some awesome scenes in it, didn't you find it totally pretentious and downright silly? I mean fighting on top of an elephant? Compare that to fist of legend where jet li just kicks the guys in the face, no f8cking around, just whacks them in the face.

Can't wait for the sequel to Kung Fu Hustle:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478193/

If its anywhere near as funny as the first it will be a classic :)

The older (21 of 'em I think) zatoichi movies are a must watch in my book.

Chocolate, Drunken Master, The Prodigal Son, The Buddhist Fist and Ong Bak spring to mind.

I must admit I've never thought of Samurai movies as being in the martial arts category.

I wondered why I had those on my hdd, I don't remember downloading em :lol: There's 26 that I have...

There are so many types of martial arts movies... it's more a medium than a genre! :lol:

One really big movie is missing here: Dao / The Blade (1995)

others that come to mind: Fist of Legend, The One-Armed Swordsman, Dirty Ho, Iron Monkey, The Prodigal Son, Heroes of the East, Come Drink with Me, Once upon a time in China II, Drunken master II, Fong Sai Yuk
