Was talking with some guys at the school yesterday, and we were talking about old ma movies. I was referred to a site, kungfumovies.net , which has dvd and vhs versions of some old movies.
I am not that knowledgable of those types of movies, yet about 10 years ago, I think I rented every one at the local video rental store.
I was told to check out 3 evil masters, and Sun Chien movies, such as “Kid with the Golden Arm”.
So my question to the forums is, what are some of your favorite cma movies? (Dubbed/subtitled or not, just favorite ones period)
Enter the 36th Chamber (aka Shaolin MasterKiller)
Return to the 36th Chamber (aka Return of the MasterKiller)
Disciples of the 36th Chamber (aka Disciples of the MasterKiller)
Five Venoms
Executioners from Shaolin
Eight Diagram Pole Fighter
Fists of the White Lotus
Shaolin Temple
Fist of Legend
Iron Monkey
Hero
CTHD
The Young Master
Dragon Fist
Drunken Master
The Legend of Drunken Master (Drunken Master 2)
Fearless Hyena
Snake and Crane arts of Shaolin
for Jet Li:
Contract Killer
New Legend fo Shaolin
Fist of Legend
Once upon a time in China
Once upon a time in China 2
Black Mask
And Basically all old school goron Liu, Donnie Yen (especially Iron Monkey and the legend of the wolf), and the Venoms movies should be added to the must see list. As well as warriors two, the prodigal son, last hurrah of (or is it for?) chivalry, Blade of fury.
some of the shaw titles have been re-released. 8 diagram pole fighter, 36th chamber, shaolin avengers, spiritual boxer. My personal favorite was one called Secret Service of the Imperial Court I think also known as “mars Villa” ? but I’m not sure.
Way of the Dragon baby. That movie cracks me up. I also love Magnificent Bodygaurds with Jackie Chan and James Tien, its superultra cool and only available in subtitles. They all wear bad long wigs and it has a surprise ending. He has Nothing but Kung Fu with gordon Lui was entertaining but I only saw it once and recently. It had some themes I could relate to; forgetting who i am and only remembering kung fu.
toby- The video store I sometimes go to has a massive collection of stuff like that. they are on laser disk! My brother in law happened to have a friend who worked at Tweeter give him a laser disk player that had been left there and not picked up once DVD’s became big. I’ve seen all sorts of bizarre wire fu and campy sex movies on laser disk.
