favorite kung fu movies

havent had one of these in awhile so i figure what the heck :smiley:

personally (my top two):

#1 - Iron Monkey - i love this movie with a passion, i dont know why. the kung fu scenes are excellent. and the name ownz. fighting on burning poles ownz.

#2 - Drunken Master (the original) - humorous, good kung fu and the part where jackie chan does some insane forms always makes me want to go train, even though my wing chun forms look nothing remotely close to that.

Chinese super ninja’s. Or five deadly venoms. They have the fakest hair i’ve ever seen, the worst actors, crappy dialoque, and choppy fight scenes. They are the best movies ever.

shaolin kungfu: you havent seen ā€œshaolin drunkardā€ then if u think that :smiley:

i like too many to list - drunken master 2 is just amazing - one of the best movies i have ever seen :slight_smile:

I have about 50 or 60 favorites. Because I’m an idiot with no life.

This seems like as good a place as any to ask a quiestion that’s been on my mind for a while now, though.

In Wheels on Meals, there are three big final fight scenes. The most famous (and it is in my estimation the most exciting kungfu fight ever filmed) is between Jackie Chan and Benny ā€˜The Jet’ Urquidez. The other two are pretty cool, too, though, and I have no idea who the foes are, what kind of notoriety they may have, and what else I might be able to see them in.

Yuen Biao wins his fight by fleeing acrobatically from the second henchman, eventually tiring him out, then smashing a pitcher upside his head. Who’s the guy with the headache, and is he a real life kungfu badass or just some dude?

Sammo Hung chases the evil count into an antique armory, and finds himself outfenced until he can glom onto a pair of duelling sabers, which he wields like double jian. This strategy stalemates the evil fencing count until jackie and Biao show up. Who is the evil count, and is he a real-life fencing badass, or just some dude?

It’d be nice to think that with Benny the Jet playing one villain, they got equally talented scrappers to play the others.

Shaolin Soccer is a great movie!

36 chambers is good too (same movie as Shaolin master killer I think)

Yes, it is.

I gotta get that movie.

Guile, Shaolin Soccer isn’t a kung fu movie, but yea it rocks. :smiley:

The Buddhist Fist, if for nothing else the chopstick-fighting-poison-dart scene with the hunchback assassin.

I’ve seen Shaolin Temple I, where can I get II & III?

Did anybody hear something?

:wink: to ghthomason

Return… is okay, but not a patch on the original. I really like the fact that the motivating force getting Gordon Liu to Shaolin is a labor dispute, though!

Ha, yeah, that’s some irony. He wants to learn kungfu to defend his co-workers at the fabric plant, and ends up working for shaolin temple for a year for free - only he’s getting what he came for and doesn’t even know it!

Um, my favorites, yeah…

I have a special fondness for the late seventies/early eighties Golden Harvest stuff teaming some combination of Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung, and Ya Kan Leung - Knockabout, Prodigal Son, Magnificent Butcher, The Victim (maybe my favorite ever!), and so on.

Too many to name.

Am I the only guy that kinda digs Dragon Lee? Yeah, I know he’s a Bruce Lee knockoff. And korean, if I’m not mistaken. But two of the first saturday afternoon ā€˜kunf fu theater’ entries I ever saw were his movies. And I’ve wanted to get a copy of them ever since.

Im surprised no one said ninja scroll.
