nobody watches kung fu movies?

[Pranaman]

enter the dragon is good.

legend of drunken master is good.

 

haven't seen too many others.

[Aetherous]

That is a HUGE list man. I love kungfu movies...but not as much as you. You truly are The Genuine Article.

[Yuen Biao]

I'd give Eastern Condors a 5.5 personally.

 

Lam Ching Ying -

Mr. Vampire.....................5.5

 

Yuen Biao -

Kid From Tibet..................5.5

Iceman Cometh................4.5

 

Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao -

Dragons Forever...............5

G.A, you are the man, when it comes to action flicks. I'd only add.

 

Jack Chan

The Big Brawl...............5.0 his best IMHO

 

Jet Li the man and actor is amazing. I'd drop the Once Upon a Time in China III to 3.0 though, particularly because the first two were so good. Same with Shaolin Temple.

 

Lone Wolf and Cub is amazing in movie or picture book form. I think the movie I saw included all the episodes into one.

 

I'm a big fan of Zato Ichi series; the recent movie that came out a few years ago butchered the character, just as Zato did to so many bad men

 

 

Its ironic that as a kid I had a choice of 4 channels, but had Samurai Sunday on every week. Now with 150 channels the great Kung Fu flicks are absent. I saw many of the original Bruce Lee films in theaters with my Mom, who likened them to great ballet. I was lucky.

 

 

Thanks for your list, it brings back memories.

[Yuen Biao]

Flashpoint - starring Donnie Yen is good and features some very realistic fight scenes.

[The Genuine Article]

yeah its pretty nice

[Desert Eagle]

Tai Chi by Jet Li was/is considered by some critics to be his best movie. There are two english dubs I know of, the one that sucks is everywhere (they talk slow and dull), the good dub I didn't find on the internet but at the local video shop.

 

I use to like kung fu flicks but not anymore, I want to stop watching and start training.

[The Genuine Article]

i always thought fist of a legend was his biggest hit?

[ghost dancer]

Wow, great list

I've been watching KF movies since '68 and never tire of them

My favorites-Come drink with me[featured golden swallow who later featured as a villain in 'Hidden dragon....]

Off the highway[real old one-saw revival at lincoln center a couple of years ago]

Visitors from the east[gordon liu takes on a group of japanese martial artists]

Any of the shogun assassin films particularly when he confronts 3 assassins and throws his sword

Any blind swordsman movie-favorite when he confronts the one armed swordsman

Any Alexander FuSheng

The Kurosawa movies are in a whole different category, I consider Ran to be in the top ten of any list of best movies ever

Recent Hero/House of flying daggers/Crouching tiger...all excellent

Not kung fu but excellent:King of gamblers 1 and2

[Nolipslameirrelevance]

Then there's "The Bamboo Curtain" with Benny Hill... I think the music makes it.

[Alchemybot]

Kung Fu Hustle 5million/5

On my top five movies list, and of course my favorite Kung Fu movie if it can actualy be called one.

......

......

well I really like it

No takers on the invincible super chan eh? No dog pileing action? No exploding dwarves? *sigh*
