ten, huh? That’s not going to leave a lot of room for error. I’ll not repeat any of yours (although I like the list a lot, and would put most of them on mine if you hadn’t beat me to it.)

The Chinese Connection
Mad Monkey Kung Fu
Dragons Forever
Police Story
Five Fingers of Death
Dance of the Drunk Mantis
Knockabout
The Victim
Once Upon a Time in China 2
and one american flick…
Big Trouble in Little China

Everything is universal, by definition.

Shaolin Martial Arts (not to be confused with Martial Arts of Shaolin) (1974).

Pedicab Driver (1989).

Master Killer (1978).

The Victim (1979).

Drunken Master II (1994).

The Kid From Kwangtung (1982).

Prodigal Son (1981).

Shaolin Challenges Ninja (Heroes of the East) (1978).

Executioner From Shaolin (1977).

Wheels on Meals (1984).

Mine are listed in no particular order, but my favorite IS Shaolin Martial Arts…this movie not only introduced Gordon Liu, Leung Ka-Yan and Wong Lung-Wei, but as far as I know, was the first to have extended training sequences, and influenced later kung fu films as far as that goes.

I’m surprised no one put romeo must die on there list. I’ve seen it about ten times. Check it out if you havn’t already its excelent

system · August 9, 2001, 1:49am

Sorry ish

but Romeo must Die sucks, well atleast in my opinion definately no where near Jet Li’s best
too much wire tricks, and the x-ray scenes were corny. the best part of the movie was the fat wanna be bodyguard that always got his ass kicked.

more must see flicks

Shanghai Affairs- Donnie Yen and the guy who played Iron Monkey

Barefoot Kid- Ti Lung

Blade of Fury- Ti Lung/Sammo Hung

Sam the Pron/Iron Bridge

KickBoxer- Yuen Biao

Warriors2- Sammo

Martial Club- Gordon Lui

Legend of the Wolf- Donnie Yen

Legend of Drunken Tiger

One Arm Hero

East is Red- Bridgette Lin

Yes Madaam- Cynthia Rothrock and Michele Yeow

believe it or not Georgeous is good one

Romeo Must Die was really bad, IMO. Jet Li’s worst flick that I’ve seen

I guess i’ve just got **** taste then

What about one armed boxer 2
Or is that another no no

system · August 9, 2001, 9:22pm

I haven’t seen that one who’s in it?

system · August 9, 2001, 9:25pm

Not sure of any names but its a very amusing film. theres this blind master whos got this gilletine thing and he has to avenge the death of his two students. he surches for the one armed boxer walking about but never bumps into anything.
worth watching if you can

system · August 10, 2001, 12:58am

Sounds like an old Sam Seed movie!!..

If you haven’t seen this one check out “Great Hero from China”…not to be confused with Jet Li’s

“Last Hero from China”

system · August 10, 2001, 3:39am

Ish,
For the record, there is at least one Jet Li movie that I think is worse than Romeo Must Die, and that is Born To Defense. It’s an older late '80s movie and IMO it just sucked.

Sounds like the movie with the blind guy is Master of the Flying Guillotine. It stars Jimmy Wany Yu, and the blind evil monk is played by Kam Kang. This film also has an “Indian Yogi” whose arms grow super long.

It stars Jimmy Wang Yu, it’s a pretty good flick, it’s really violent, but I liked it!

Well pooh. I hated “Romeo Must Die” and liked “Born to Defense.” I mean, it’s no “Fist of Legend” or “Tai Chi Master” but I like it.

And there’s a bunch of movies I’d have liked a lot more if I’d actually been able to see them, and not just the middle third of the screen.

LETTERBOX, GODDAMNIT!

Reasonable men can agree to disagree, so probably you and I can too.
