Thread: Martial Art Films - Fires of Heaven Guild Message Board

Lord of the Wu-Tang was one of the first movies Jet Lee (or is it Le/Li... can't remember atm) did. I only have a VHS copy of it but I'm sure you can find a DVD version of it. It's a good flick but there is a lot of wire work in it.

YouTube - Dragon Inn The lateral traveling on a sand sledge from hell at 1:38 is 9 second of cinema history. Great movie. Donnie Yen is the...

The movie is based on the story of the guy who trained Bruce Lee durring WWII when the Japanese invaded China. It's now one of my top 5 Kung Fu movies. IP man? Yeah that movie was great, "I want to fight 10!" 30 hyper fists to the face in 4.6 seconds!

Oh! Time and Tides (ultimate cop and gangsters action movie... with martial arts!)

No need to stop I appreciate all the suggestions, I didn't want to list every movie I've seen but Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Kill Bill, the Protector, Iron Monkey, Once Upon a Time in China were all entertaining. I guess if I were to narrow it down I could only specify, I dislike cutting inside the action sequences. So Bruce Lee movies are awful for me. But thank you all so far I see about 10 movies I need to watch in here so...

What I liked the most about that movie was how likeable Ip Man was. I need to watch Dragon The Bruce Lee Story again after watching that....

I really wanna find Challenge of the Ninja. Its about a chinese man that marries a japanese woman. And they both do martial arts and spar and he kicks her ass and she gets pissed and goes back to Japan. Only way he can get her to come back is by challenging her to a fight. While in Japan some guys from her old Karate school get his challenge and decide to come kick his ass to prove Karate/Japs are better. Was pretty good and the chinese guy...

If you like Martial Arts movies, there is one movie you _NEED_ to watch : The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (aka The Master Killer) This movie is a Kung Fu masterpiece. All the movies suggested by Vorph are also excellent choices (apart from Fist of Legend maybe, but that is a very personnal choice, it's a good movie all in all). Personnaly, I strongly dislike anything Bruce Lee related, but I guess you could always watch one or two of his...

5 Deadly Venoms is pretty amazing, as is Shaolin vs Llama. Wheels on Meals and City Hunter are pretty decent Jackie Chan flicks. There are so many to list I can't even begin, just all depends on how much wuxia/cheese you want. I personally love Master of the Flying Guillotine and such so... Mr.Vampire may be my favorite of all time, but it is comedy/fu and may not be what you're looking for. For the true Mr.Vampire experience though...

Le pacte des loups (released in the US as Brotherhood of the Wolf) The Street Fighter with Sonny Chiba (guy who played Hatori Hanzo in Kill Bill)
