recommend some great martial arts movies

I grew up watching Bruce Lee movies and Shaw Brothers martial arts flicks like: The Five Deadly Venoms and Master Killer. I even liked older flicks by Jet li like: Iron Monkey and Once Upon a Time In China. Some of the more modern ones like Hero ( Jet Li ) and Rumble in the Bronx ( Jackie Chan) are good too.

Anyone else here like martial arts movies?

Legend of drunken master (remake version)

The two movies with Tony Jaa: Ong Bak and ... :lol: I forgot the name of his other film.

EDIT: Ah.. it's known as the The Protector here in the states.

i was ganna say eny bruce lee movie but ohh well

the kill bill movies are great

Kung-fu hustle.Mr_sprinkles

i watch that movie like 20 times already. lol.

Fearless is a dope movie.JeM760soCAL

i heard about that one, i'll check that out along with Crouching Tiger ( i heard that was good too)

I love Shaw Brothers movies! My favorite from them is Heroes of The East (Shaolin vs. Ninja). I recommend any Shaw Brothers film though, because I haven't seen one yet that I didn't like haha.

As far as new ones go, Tony Jaa has some good ones, especially The Protector. With Jackie Chan and Jet Li, Forbidden Kingdom is great for a lighthearted adventure.

thanks guys....means alot to me. i have some old buddies coming over this weekend and we luv these flicks. i just hope they don't try to used the moves they watched on me afterwards. as kids we always used to act like we knew how to fight when the movie went off. i remember sporting a fat lip one time because of our careless fooling around. lol

Does House of Flying Daggers count? Cause that movie was awesome :)tofu-lion91

i like only the strong

H8sMikeMoore

i don't know if i ever heard of that one, i'll see if thats in my local video store too.

If you even have a vague interest in martial arts then Tony Jaa is well worth cecking out. :)ColdRush88

i got you....I definitely look for some of his flicks. any good ones you like come to mind?

also try some old school jean claude van damme and watch bloodsport :Dvilla4europe

of corse i've seen and have Bloodsport, personaly i think that was his best film, that and Lion Heart, 2 of his best 4sure.

I also like Billy Blanks ( king of the kickboxers) and Jeff Speakman (Perfect Weapon) but most of their movies aren't that good. I don't really like the martial arts film with guns in them, just swords, poles, nun-chucks, hands and feet. some of the few martial arts movies with guns that i did like were Chow yung fat's (The replacement Killers) and Mark Dacascos (Crying Freeman).

any others good martila arts flicks you guys think is worth a watch?

* gets into crane stance like Danielson form the Karate Kid *

THE TAI CHI MASTER by JET Li, anyone heard of this one?

Steven Segal... Need I say anymore? =PiSpray

lol

i stoped watching him after Above the law and Hard to Kill (which were some great movies)

The only Jaa film I've seen is Ong Bak. But that is a brilliant film and needs only one viewing to convert someone to be a fan of Tony Jaa. :)

i just watch the triler to Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior. i can't believe i havn't seen this, some good stuff. thanks

oh, is this and The Protector the same movie under a different name ( as an ealier poster said). i can see me enjoying his films too.

Drunken Master II

i must say Ong-Bak was a great flick. I was force to watch two simi- British martial arts flicks too, Casino Royal and The Transporter, the movies were actually good but it's hard to stomach these two old dudes doing all of that amazing moves....oh well, just movies right.....

did anyone see the old Shaw Brother's movie called Legendary Weapons of War? ( i think thats the name) i been looking for this movie for a while now. ....it had some of the best action in a martial arts flick i have ever seen.

I love martial arts..

Good film sometimes over looked Bloodsport JeanClaudeVanDam

Perhaps you are thinking of this movie...

The Legendary Weapons of China starring the greatest martial artist to ever live, the legendary Lau Kar-Leung. Of course, having the next best martial artist Gordon Liu doesn't help matters although his presence isn't as great as I would have liked it to be. It was interesting watching him play a villain but the film mainly exists to show off Lau Kar-Leung's love for weapon combat. The Chinese magician-spies makes the movie a little goofy here and there but overall it's definitely one of the best martial arts films ever made.

Really? So far I've seen a few good recommendations, but if you want adrenaline filled then......

WHAT, no Chuck Norris??!!:shock:

Lord_Daemon-

that's it!! i must see that one again...i see my dude the Master Killer on the box too, yeah he makes some great movies, did you see Invincible or was that someone else?

Martial Bullet-

I like wheels on meals...seen that awhile ago brings back memories, i didn't see the others, they do look kinda hardcore thou. i like Jackies style of frighing... he likes to make others look silly while they are getting their ass kicked. lol

Fist of Fury. It's Bruce Lee's first proper martial arts film, and it rules. The famous scene were he goes to the dojo with the sign in his hand and proclaims that he will defeat everyone in the room and force them to eat it... godly.Ninja-Hippo

yeah, Bruce opened up a can of whupas in there 4 sure. btw, what do you think about the Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris fight?

i saw that one too, wow...i forgot all about that one. I like the real acrobatic guy, he always play as a bum or someone with mental problems, dam i can't remember his name. I also like him in that flick when he played as a mentally challenge person ( due to drinking some poison). He teamed up with a blind dude, a deaf dude and one guy with iron legs. I can't remember the name of the movie but that was a hot flick too.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

There are a couple I don't know the titles of. They had jet li in them where he was some master at a school of martial arts. I can't think of the name of them. I enjoyed them alot.
