Favorite kung fu movies of all time?

Barry Gordie’s “the Last Dragon” and no one has listed “the adventures of Remo Williams” also i think some of Bruce Lee’s cleanest moves were in Green Hornet.

OK, here it goes (I own a lot of kung fu movies)

Invincible armor
10 Tigers from Kwantung (watch this one a few times to catch the plot)
Kung fu vs. Yoga
Shaolin vs. Lama
5 fighters from Shaolin
Legend
Fong Sai Yuk
New Legends of Shaolin
36 Chambers
Fury in Shaolin
Any early Jackie
Any early Jet and the ONE (I just like the xingi vs. bagua thing)

Okay, the rest of the film is poor, but the Streetfighter 2 scene in Jackie Chan’s City Hunter is quality.

Oh so many choices

Jet Li:

Fist Of Legend
My Father is Hero
Once Upon a Time In China
Tai Chi Master

Jackie Chan:

Drunken Master
Wheels on Meals
Young Master

Misc:

Shogun Assassin

The Barefoot Kid
Police Story
The Blade (the Tsui Hark remake of one armed swordsman)
Burning Paradise (aka Red Lotus Temple)
Blade Of Fury
Fist Of Legend
Mr.Vampire

and the scenes from the Pink Panther series with Burt Kwouk!

Barefoot kid is cool man, so are the Mr. Vampire series. The 2nd one with Yuen Biao in it rocks :smiley:

I also like Samo Hung’s Encounters of the Spooky Kind series, they’re cool :slight_smile:

Yeah, i am going to have to agree with yutyeesam, the last dragon is too classic to forget!! Can I get a “Sho Nuf”? OK OK, yeah, almost ANY Jet Li movie (i have to thank Silumkid for that) and tons of Jackie…too many to list!! Matrix was kewl..but i am getting REALLY tired of waiting for #2!!! Blade was rad…but i am partial to Stephen Dorff (he is SOO HOT).

What are the top 10 Kung Fu movies?

I have several kung fu movies. I’ve tried to rent as many as possible and then buy the ones I like. Here’s what I have in no particular order.

Iron Monkey
Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin
5 Deadly Venoms
Decendent of Wing Chun
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Rumble in the Bronx
Spiritual Kung Fu
Fists of Fury
Return of the Dragon
Enter the Dragon
HERO
Mortal Combat

What do you think? What are some of your favorites and why?

I would remove mortal combat and add “master of flying guillotine”. I’d take off:

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Rumble in the Bronx
Spiritual Kung Fu

also.

When I can think of ten, I’ll post them.

off to the media forum with you! :smiley:

cheers

Yeah, sorry about that. didn’t see the media forum until after I made the post. You didn’t put any movies in.

Chief Fox, did you mean the original, (and best) Iron Monkey with Chan Kwan Tai or the newer Donnie Yuen version? Also add Mad Monkey Kung Fu.
I haven’t seen it yet but I’m hearing that the Thai movie Ong Bak is better than any martial arts movie made to date.

No, I haven’t seen the original Iron Monkey. I’ll have to check it out. Any others?

MUSA, it’s Korean.
Chan Kwan Tai was the 1969? SE Asia full contact champion and he really studied Monkey style before he got into movies.

No particular order

Iron Monkey (Donnie Yen)
Once Upon a Time in China
Twin Warriors
Drunken Master
Fists of Fury
Five Deadly Venoms
Dirty Ho

Young Master
