~Who is your favorite Martial Artist?~

Out of all genres of movies, Martial Arts have got to be the one I enjoy the most!! There are so many out there!.... this genre is so infected and cluttered with Xtra cheese and bad cinema, that it makes it hard for us to find the real gems. In your film watching journey...

~what are some of those found gems, or Cult Classics in Martial Arts films that you have enjoyed and will truly recommend!!!~

I have enjoyed so many of them and will highly commend the "Bruce Lee collection"!! Bruce IMO is one of the most influential and highly skilled martial artist of all time!!

I would have loved to see a fight between bruce and an aikido master. The defensive skills of the aikido master vs bruce's ability to adapt and his speed would have been very interesting. If there's any test of ones skill, that has got to be it IMO

So you mean Bruce Vs Seagal.

I think Bruce would have kicked seagal's ass so bad.

The only thing Seagal would have beaten Bruce lee at....would be at a staring contest.

but you're right though it would have been interesting to see a match like that. Eventhough I thing Bruce was too quick and an Aikido master would have never been able to get a hold of him.

Fearless Dragons (starring Beardie, epic finale fight scene)
Life On The Line (USA "60 Second Assassin") starring Beardie (as the antagonist this time) in another epic finale
Call Me Dragon starring Bruce Liang as Little Dragon (think They Call Me Trinity) vs. Kurata

These are all from the 70s found them on the DVD "The Martial Arts Essentials, Volume 3: The Best of the Best Series One" for $14.95 (6 films in total).

Ong Bak 2 (some say they dont like it, but the fight scenes were still good)
Fist of Legend (Jet Li)
Once upon a time in China (Jet Li)
Flash Point

SPL aka Sha Po Lang aka Killzone (Donnie Yen, Samo Hung, Wu Jing)
Enter the Dragon (Bruce Lee)
