Best Kung Fu Movies Ever.

[TheDude]

So, I like martial arts movies. Not gonna lie.

I <3 Jackie Chan. Not that he is the only figure in martial arts, I just like the straight-forward nature of his movies and the fact that he really maintained being an excellent role model throughout his career, unlike most stars.

So my first post is dedicated to....


Drunken Master

Which is an excellent movie, if I do say so myself. If you are looking for seriously deep mind-bending plot, this is not your movie. But if you are looking for those things in a jackie chan movie, or in all movies, then you're just a moron .

Having said all this, I am looking for top notch movies like this.


Obviously, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is a good one .

Enlighten meh!

I remember a movie called iron monkey or something. Forgot the exact name. It's pretty funny. If you can't find it, search for films Quentin Tarantino are associated with.

Master Killer,39th chamber,Tai Chi Master,Snake in Eagles Shadow,i could go on sooo yeah I'm into Kung Foooooooo!
Once upon a time in China is excellent for Jet Li fans,will add as I recall them

Matrix is in my opinion the best kung-fu series ever made, all of the crazy slow motion stuff while fighting the agents is sweet and who could ever forget the lobby massacre? even though it was 60% guns it was still really awesome

Houston doesn't watch Kung Fu, but he watches Mean Girls on a weekly basis.

I wouldn't call the matrix a kung fu movie. As for the series, I think the second 2 are extremely contrived and lacking some of the real meat the first one had. Judging from the ending of the first matrix, it is really obvious the second 2 were not REALLY in the works. The first one is great as a standalone.

And yes, there is a movie called Iron Monkey. I think I've seen it. And thanks Bred for the movie suggestions

Kung Fu panda 1 and 2.

This might be a bit embaressing but the only martial arts movies I've watched is the one where Jaden Smith is in,
and Kung-Fu panda 2.

Jackie Chan said that american movies are good with story lines because Asian films only understand action and nothing else. I've never watched this movie but I can see what he means. I still would like to see this movie.

Also, if you check this person's channel he has clips from all his favorite kung fu movies. Maybe you might like some. Also, kill bill kicked ass!

 

[TheDude]

Cent, you're korean-american. Why would we think you had to watch kung fu? Kung fu is chinese.

Bred> 36th chambers, Return to 36th chambers...and there's a third one but can't remember title

Kung fu Hustler, even its more a Comedy than a Kung-fu movie

 

[TheDude]

Yea, Kung Fu Histle was epic.

36th chambers.... wu tang!

 

[TheDude]

There was one about heros. I can't remember what it was called. It was good.

 

[Trasgu]

when I read the tittle first thing I thought was "Drunken Master!!!". however, TD got ahead of me. Jackie Chan is a beast YO!

 

[Sargass]

The third part of the 36th chamber trilogy is called Disciples of the Master Killer or Master Killer III...Disciple from the 36th chamber in french.

If u love Wong Fei-Hong's stories...u can also watch "Once upon a time in China"...for a total of 7 movies for what i know. The problem is that JC dont play Fei Hong anymore...they give it to Jet Li, and movies are produced by Tsui Hark. And compare to JC's fei-hong there is a little bit too much flying chinese in Tsui hark's movies for me^^

From Tsui hark if u love "Flying Chinese style" u can look for...The butterfly murder, Zu and the Warriors of the Magic Mountain, and approximatively the 2/3 of Tsui Hark's works...

TD> i think its called Hero...

@sarg..You are correct sir,"so..you think you know kung fu ,do ya?"..lol.Gordon Liu stars in that one.I highly recommend Ip Man 1 and 2 also being a Wing Chun enthusiast...

 

[Sargass]

"I know Kung-fu!" (K.Reeves in Matrix) ... i grew up with Kung Fu movies...Bruce Lee principally.

Haven't watched Ip man...a friend ruined me the movie by showing me the fight vs the 20 guys...So if he can beat 20 guys why watching when he's fighting against only 1 ^^

 

[TheDude]

lol..... yea, flying chinese people gets a lil weird. And jet li just doesn't do it for me, idk why.

MOAR MOVIES!!!

And at "Hero" being about heroes.... who woulda thunk?

 

[felon]

Hero is decent.

My favourite is Enter The Dragon - Bruce Lee ftw.

 

[TheDude]

Just watched Ip Man... epic!
