Title: Kung Fu Movies Post by: HAMMER FRENZY on June 11, 2008, 05:47:00 AM After seeing that Kung Fu Panda thread, I thought it would be cool to share our favorite Kung Fu movies in here. I know that Schild loves himself some Kung Fu movies. I am crazy about them. Some of my favorites are:
Prodigal Son Shaolin Master Killer Shaolin vs Ninja (Challengers From the East) 5 Deadly Venoms Legend of the Drunken Master Master of the Flying Guillotine Fist of Legend Movies I need to see: 8 Diagram Pole Fighter Millionaires Express Magnificent Butcher Title: Re: Kung Fu Movies Post by: Ookii on June 11, 2008, 08:30:56 AM My favorites
Invincible Armour! Obligatory Jackie Chan Movie Obligatory Jet Li Movie Title: Re: Kung Fu Movies Post by: stray on June 11, 2008, 10:15:40 AM Guillotine is definitely best in terms of overall theme and outlandishness, but the best of the best is pre-Shaw era: Bruce Lee's Way of the Dragon (i.e. Return of the Dragon), the one that takes place in Rome, where Bruce kills He Who Can Not Be Killed: Chuck Norris. Of course, Bruce is more like an inspiration to the kung-fu flick era that followed, but it should be mentioned anyways.
Second movie that doesn't qualify, by virtue of being Japanese, is.... The Street Fighter (edit: The Chiba version). I don't care if it's Karate, this shit still needs to be at the top of the list.

Kung Fu Cult Master is good and campy. Drunken Tai Chi and Drunken Master are both ok Title: Re: Kung Fu Movies Post by: Viin on June 11, 2008, 02:44:11 PM The "Once upon a time in China" movies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_in_China_%28film_series%29 I enjoyed these. Did no one like the one that just came out with Jet Li and Jackie Chan? And speaking of fight movies, did anyone catch some Fight Quest on Discovery? Some pretty interesting stuff there, good fights too. Title: Re: Kung Fu Movies Post by: schild on June 11, 2008, 03:33:16 PM Miracles.

Some pretty interesting stuff there, good fights too. I watched it, not really what I expected. The story with the white kid just seems to stupid and he is a shitty actor. Jet Li and Jackie Chan are great in that movie. House of Flying Daggers / Crouching Tiger etc are superior of course, far far superior.

sequel, not so much. Title: Re: Kung Fu Movies Post by: Sauced on June 11, 2008, 04:00:10 PM 8 Diagram Pole Fighter Can't recommend this enough. And, of course, 36th Chambers of Shoalin. Sure, it's an obvious choice, but it's obvious for a reason. Title: Re: Kung Fu Movies Post by: Evildrider on June 11, 2008, 04:51:44 PM Five Deadly Venoms is probably my favorite Kung Fu movie ever. :drill:

And Wing Chun, mostly for the tofu scene. :drill: (edit: here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LK_6XoJcH8)) Title: Re: Kung Fu Movies Post by: Viin on June 11, 2008, 06:34:27 PM And Wing Chun, mostly for the tofu scene. :drill: (edit: here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LK_6XoJcH8)) Awesome. I'll have to add some of these to my netflix.. Title: Re: Kung Fu Movies Post by: Phildo on June 11, 2008, 09:40:34 PM Does Big Trouble in Little China count? =)
I didn't even need to look to know this was a Hammer Frenzy thread. I'm sorry, HAMMER FRENZY!

Kung Fu Cult Master is good and campy. Drunken Tai Chi and Drunken Master are both ok Yeah, it had a few names, and Shaolin vs Ninja was one of them. It even states it on the re-release of the movie on DVD (which I can't recommend enough). I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned prodigal son. That movie is just outrageously fantastic. Really, just one of the greatest martial arts movies ever. C'mon, Yuen Biao, Frankie Chan and Sammo Hung!?!?!? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XkBxCEOGjQ LEUNG JAN!!! KUNG FU KING! Also, Kid With the Golden Arm was awesome too. Title: Re: Kung Fu Movies Post by: Oz on June 12, 2008, 07:56:34 AM I know its technically not kung fu, but i really dug the Zatoichi blind samurai/ronin movies.
Title: Re: Kung Fu Movies Post by: stray on June 12, 2008, 02:50:36 PM On that note, the Lone Wolf & Cub series kicks all kinds of ass. Or if you're impatient, Shogun Assassin (westernized, condensed version...pretty cool in it's own right).
Kid with the Golden Arm seconded. Probably one of the most awesome movies I've seen I don't even know the name of... Duo team, with one dude who was legless, on top of the shoulders of a dude who was armless.

Kid is just great, and movie you are talking about is crippled masters. http://youtube.com/watch?v=jvkhYcTEwRE straight up awesomeness Also, another cool movie was Crippled Avengers http://youtube.com/watch?v=-HTiNW-buqM&feature=related good stuff...
