Top 10 Kung Fu Movies

[mograph]

I gained more respect for Bruce Lee after seeing his audition clip for the role of Kato. It's on YouTube ... the guy's fast, and he has presence.

(heh ... he said he was the only candidate who could pronounce "Britt Reid" correctly.)

No Jet Li's Fearless?

 

[Flying Crane]

NEVER was a fan of Bruce Lee. NEVER wanted to be him or like him or do what he did.

Props to him for WHAT he did, but didn't do a thing for me.

I agree, and i feel the same way about Jet Li.

 

[Touch Of Death]

I agree, and i feel the same way about Jet Li.

I'm really starting to worry about you. I mean, they can have Bruce Lee, but Jet Li? Maybe you should lie down. You must not be feeling well.

Have you seen Return Of The Dragon or are you judging from other films?

PS those Us are supposed to be an underline but that what happens when I try to get all fancy with the functions. LOL

Nah ... I've seen several of his movies. Didn't do it for me (true feelings with held as to not upset the general public) in any way. Acting, coreography, etc...

 

[clfsean]

I agree, and i feel the same way about Jet Li.

Same here... I like Jet Li more since his coregraphy at least looks like the generally accepted "movie fu" stylized stuff. But I hate the wirework & such... and as Wong Fei Hung???

***** please... He knows about as much Hung Ga as I know radiocartography.

yeah, and I think he's just kind of a cold actor. Doesn't make any connection to the audience in my opinion.

I hate the wire stuff too, could never get into that.

 

[Xue Sheng]

I'm not a big fan of Wire Fu myself but I have to admit I do like some of Jet Li's movies, not all, but many of them and the same goes for Bruce Lee. I like some, but not all but at least Bruce did not get into Wire Fu...or it could be that he just was not around long enough to get into it... I don't know

 

[fangjian]

There are classics already mentioned that I will not. But let me mention one that is in my 'top 3' that is not as well known.

Zhong Hua Zhang Fu AKA:


Heroes Of The East , or,
Shaolin Challenges Ninja with Liu Chia Hui ( Gordon Liu ).


ABSOLUTELY NOT TO BE MISSED !!!!!!!!!

I've owned it for years but here it is on youtube.

 

[elder999]

Chinese Hercules, Chang Feng and Bolo Yeung

The One-Armed Swordsman Jimmy Wang Yu

New One-Armed Swordsman, also released in the U.S. as Triple Irons, David Chiang

All the real Bruce Lee movies: Enter the Dragon, Return of the Dragon, Fists of Fury, Chinese Connection.

Fist of Legend, Drunken Master 2, Ip Man and Iron Monkey were pretty cool too......

 

[Flying Crane]

Supercop had a good bit of mayhem in it as well. That one was pretty fun.

 

[Flying Crane]

Maybe someone will recognize this movie, I can't remember the name. It's an old Jackie Chan movie, and they are in this field playing some bizzare kind of ball game. Seems there were two or maybe three different teams of 10 or so guys each, they were on a big football type field and they had to run a ball and then climb a pyramid of some type and get the ball to the top. As they would climb, the other teams would literally grab them and throw them down to the ground. It was really bizarre and the human casualties had to be enormous. It was just bodies flailing and piling on top of each other and throwing each other around, just craziness.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

 

[Flying Crane]

Was it Jackie Chan's Young Master where they have the liondance competition/fight?

 

[clfsean]

That's what it sounds like.

 

[Flying Crane]

That's what it sounds like.

yeah, that was pretty cool.

 

[Touch Of Death]

I don't know that one, but it sounds like a classic.

 

[Nabakatsu]

The movie where he is forced to punch glass shards stars jackie chan, I grew up watching these movies since I was like 5, lol.. yeah.. that old beggar is his teacher.. and he uses some kind of tree sap to heal the hand.. there are these identical brothers in some of the movies.. in this movie the identical brother likes to gamble.. the old beggar cheats to win.. some guy uses some weird fish kung fu to try and beat him.. twas an epic fail. anyways, this is the link:
