I go through martial arts film phases every so often (its like a cycle lol). I just watched Forbidden Kingdom so i'm back on watching martial arts films, it was great seeing two of my most favourite current martial arts filmstars on the same film, and Jackie Chan brought back memories of Drunken master.
So i was wondering what are your favourite martial arts films and why.
Mine off the top of my head are:
Drunken master - Probably Jackie Chan's best film, he is damn amazing doing the drunken style.
Encounters of the spooky kind - Sammo Hung's very own "horror comedy martial arts" film. Entertaining fight scenes and funny.
Ong-bak and Warrior King - Tony Jaa is just plain raw with his Muay Thai style. Plus doing his own amazing stunts is always a plus.
Enter the dragon - The film which created a martial arts craze in the Western world and made Bruce Lee the most famous martial arts filmstar.
Fists of Fury - In my opinion Bruce Lee's best film.
Five deadly venoms - Being called a hit kung fu classic is kind of an understatement here
and i guess i should also put the Rush Hour films just because it was so entertaining and funny as hell, but standard martial arts which is typical of films made in Hollywood with all their insurance worries
Also does anyone know good places to buy kung fu films for cheap? (i dont just mean the modern films but the classic ones from 1970s and early 1980s such as Shaw Brothers films, etc)
