    Looking for martial arts movies to watch! What are your faves? =^.^=

    Hi there! I'm in need of some advice when it comes to good martial arts films. All suggestions welcome and appreciated! Thank you.

    P.S. does anyone know what movies the scenes in this video are from? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8Y3piodWes[/url]

    Try this thread or that thread or this one or maybe this other one.

    My old eyes would also appreciate less purple prose (literally).

    Fist of legend (not the miramax/disney highly edited cut)
    shaolin master killer aka the 36th chamber of shaolin or anything with gordon liu
    sword of doom
    chinese super ninja
    akakage
    samurai fiction
    the last 15 minutes of samurai rebellon
    five deadly venoms
    Crime story (not to be confused with police story series, both star jackie chan)


    my personal favorite: the last dragon
    I remember some guy asking Liang Baiping what the philosphy of Taiji was. Baiping looked at him and said, "The philosophy of Taiji is to crash through to their center and kill them".

    As you will see from my avatar I a bit of a fan! Without doubt one of the corniest but coolest films of all time.

    Did you know they planning a remake, with Samuel L Jackson playing Shonuff!!!

    I'm also a big fan of Jackie Chan, mainly his old stuff like Police Story, wheels on meals, drunken master and armour of god!!!
    I said "WHO'S THE MASTER???"

    As far as the thread goes, lately I'm a big Yoji Yamada fan. Twilight Samurai and Hidden Blade are great samurai films, although the first in particular is too low on action to qualify as a "martial arts movie."

    For the more action-oriented, I really enjoyed Fighter in the Wind.

    No vital Christianity is possible unless at least three aspects of it are developed. These three are the inner life of devotion, the outer life of service, and the intellectual life of rationality.
