i love kung fu movies. old ones, new ones, an especially dubbed ones.

awesome fight scenes an awesome story lines most of the time. honestly it is my idea of the perfect action flick. watching the characters grow, an seeing the fight of good vs evil just gets me all excited. its like a ballet only i actually give a shit.

so Totse, do you like Kung Fu, an if so which movies. for something old, i would have to say the 36th chamber of shaolin is hard to beat. an as far as new, well ong bak is just fucking hard core as hard core gets.

36th chamber of Shaolin is probably the pinnacle.

A personal favorite of mine is Chinese Super Ninjas a.k.a Five Elements Ninja.

Fucking sneaky wood ninjas...

But basically anything by Cheh Chang will guarantee a good time and he was prolific as a motherfucker so you have plenty to choose from.

The Five Deadly Venoms, Master of the Flying Guillotine, Enter the Dragon, Chinese Connection, The Street Fighter series, Fearless Fighters.

Kung Fu Hustle.

I'm a big fan of the Jackie Chan/Sammo Hung/Yuen Bioa kung fu comedy of the late 70s and 80s. Period stuff like Drunken Master, The Victim, Warriors Two, The Odd Couple and so on and the comtemporary stuff like the Police Story films. Bruce Lee is obviously essential watching especially Way of the Dragon (when Chuck Norris was more than just an internet punchline).

Yep I'm with you on that. Drunken Master is unmatchable IMO.
Also " its like a ballet only i actually give a shit." = QFT.

flashpoint.

36th chamber of Shaolin

this if youre looking for a serious movie.

Kung Fu Hustle.

this, if youre looking for fun

dont forget shaolin soccer as well. that film was freaking hilarious

but i reckon ong bak kind of sucked.

Also " its like a ballet only i actually give a shit." = QFT.

Lol. That reminds me of, "Kung Fu is like ballet, except there's no choreography, and the dancers hit each other."

Drunken Master, Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, plus all of the aforementioned 70's flicks.

The best Kung Fu movie ever for me though will always be The Big Boss, it's just such a classic.

but i reckon ong bak kind of sucked.



dude, did we see the same movie? because the ong bak i saw freaking ruled

Screw Ong Bak. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arXYCBmurLQ)

Admittedly, you kind of have to watch past 2:00 'til it gets good.

dude, maybe i am a tool. but that is one of the best parts. when he freaks out about the elephant an starts wrecking people.

Ong Bak is excellent, watch it with your pants off.

I just thought I'd pop in this thread to say the following:

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing

They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing

There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they did it with expert timing

Master of the flying guillotine and five deadly venoms are some of the most hardcore movies ive ever seen.

The Once Upon a Time in China series, Jet Li's best work...umm....Ah! One Armed Swordsman is a classic that you can't miss.

And my favorite.... Iron Monkey.

Hero was also great.

What? No love for Kung Pow? I love that movie.

Anything Bruce Lee. It would be nice to find something other than Bruce Lee movies, though. I'm personally fond of Kung-Fu Hustle because of it's humor and over the top fighting styles.

Kung Fu Panda

look for anything with tony jaa in it.

Admittedly I haven't seen many kung fu movies, but this thread has given me inspiration to check such out. I'll probably start wtih 36th Chamber of Shaolin.

I'm also looking for more samurai flicks to compliment the few I've seen - basically like a high-action western or kung fu film, except with lots of swordfighting instead of guns or fists.

Hero.
Kill Bill 1 & 2.
Twilight Samurai.

Versus

awwww yeah...

oh! I love kung fu movies! :D

Kung fu hustle was a fun one, shaolin soccer was ok too

older jackie chan movies are <3
drunken master, snake in the eagle's shadow, rumble in the bronx...

The Cripple Masters

Also Enter The Dragon, Street Fighter and Return of the Street Fighter, Riki-Oh, and any Shaw Bros. film.

I absolutely love the sound the punches and kicks make. It's like whapish or something. A sound effect'd be better.

Anyway favourite kung fu film'd be Game of Death. Bruce Lee rules. Really tall guy looks like Kareem Abdul Jabar. Not sure if that's how to spell his name...

Five Deadly Venoms... mmmmmm Classic Shaw Bros.

Although not so much kung-fu, I'm going to throw District B13 out there.
