In your opinion.What is the best Martial Arts movie ever?
Fist of Legend is my favorite because of the amazing fight scenes. I loved Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon though for just about everything else 
Some honorable mentions: Drunken Master 2, Shaolin Temple, Tai Chi Master, and Enter the Dragon
As sad as it sounds, I still love Enter the Dragon. However, Crouching Tiger beats the pants off everything else and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future.
Has anyone seen a film called something like ‘the 36 chambers of shaolin’ or something to that affect? Any good?
crouching tiger, and i loved fist of legend too. Although he would have had to die in the end insted of that cheesy hollywood ending. Then i would have been happy.
Free thinkers are dangerous.
You guys should see Iron Monkey.. i think its very good better then first of legend and tai chi master also known as twin worriors…
You thought Iron Monkey was better than Fist of Legend? Story-wise perhaps. I loved the fight scenes in both, though. Donnie Yen was pretty darn smooth in Iron Monkey.
I still gotta say Drunken Master 2, though. Just the sword vs spear fight under a train outdoes almost every MA flick I’ve seen (even though I’ve seen too many american crap movies, though - right apowen ;)). The last fight was cool, man. Ken Lo had some nice supervillain-esque moves on him. I would have liked fist of legend better if Jet Li didn’t try so hard to do those goofy free flowing footwork scenes. Leave that to the experts like Bruce Lee, and Muhammed Ali (is that how you spell it?).

The best MA movie EVER?
It hasn’t been made yet; all Marts movies are much too derivative of one another. Perhaps in our lifetime…

Yes a love Fist of Legend also.I havent seen crouching tiger yet.
The movies Glory, Karate Kid, Last of the Mohicans and Above the Law.
Is the movie Shaolin vs Lama any good?
I highly recommend shaolin vs. lama. Its pretty funny, and there are some decent fight and master- teaching-student scenes.
Crouching Tiger was an okay movie, but nothing spectacular. Most of my Chinese friends agree that it was just a normal kung fu film, but was kinda “made for America” in a way.
Not a bad film though.

Best EVER?
I dunno that’s tough, but I saw Crouching Tiger 2wice already..that was dope…Enter the Dragon, Shaolin Temple, Fist of Legend, AND if u can find it? ‘The 7 Grandmasters’ this cat uses the Pak Mei style & he has to fight the other masters of each animal style…good story, alittle campy setting, but it’s definetly worth checkin out. 
Did you guys relise that people who do kungfu or martial art on the whole appreciate kungfu and martial art movies more.. i mean i could be sitting with my friends (who dont do any kinda martial art) and they get bored or they think the movie is stupid but im there really into it.. like fist of legend or iron monkey… i actually bought those movies on dvd
Yeah
I hate showing kung fu movies to people who aren’t interested in martial arts. But when I watch it with my friends who are into martial arts, it’s pretty fun.
ninja breaks bed
crouching tiger hidden dragon .. no argument … best movie ever … my Sifu provides wires …
oops .. ‘ninja breaks bed’ is not in circulation except with bfriend and me and a few trusted friends
cheech and chong up in smoke was kinda good too
I don’t have a single favorite movie, so here are a few of my top picks:
The Godfather trilogy
The Matrix
Natural Born Killers
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Tai Chi Master
Pulp Fiction
Ciao for Now…
btw i think that Rolls bloke is kinda cool … he reminds me of me … that nigglin toothache that won’t go away :rolleyes:
I hate Kung Fu movies. The story line is mostly unbelievable, I’ve seen better acting in Russ Meyers films, and the worst thing of all, the fighting is usually beyond absurd. Ditch the trampolines, the wire work and ignoring the laws of physics.
John Woo does some great action films, Hard Boiled being my favorite.
Other greats are Seven Samauri and Ran.
If I want some cool fantasy stuff I tend towards Animie, Ghost in the Shell rocks as does the Crying Freeman series. The story lines are usually better than Kung Fu movies.
