Enter the Dragon is obviously the standard by which all others must be judged.

However, I love Under Seige, despite Segal.

 

[bootman]

Great list!
I like them all.

I'll add:

Five Deadly Venoms
Kid with the Golden Arm
Chinese Super Ninjas
Master Killer
(can you tell I'm a shaw brother's fan?

)

I'll come up with some more good titles.

Segal was ok in the beginning. But things quickly went south.

Personally I never considered any of Segal movies as martial arts movies.

Oh yes. Master Killer! That movie was hardcore!

Hands down, the best place to pick up hard to get martial arts films.

www.hkflix.com

Their prices are good and they ship fast.

Gordon Liu is the man.

He was great in Shaolin Challenges Ninja.

I prefer Return of the Dragon over Enter the Dragon.

Is that the one with Chuck Norris?

 

[darkclouds]

Definitely Return of the Dragon. I've been wanting to pick up a copy of that.

And yeah, it's the one with Noris, in Italy... and "Chinese ribs". That always cracked me up.

Hey kungfu movies, now we're talking

There are so many I've enjoyed over the years, but the best ones I can recall now is:

Jackie Chan: Drunken Master, Meals on wheels (Chan fighting a former kickboxing world champ in Benny the Jet Urquides).

Donnie Yen: Iron Monkey, Legend of the Wolf (totally outrageous fight sequences)

Jet Li: Once upon a time in China 2 (Donnie Yen doing the evil official really well), Fist of Legend, The Defender, Meltdown (the best action scene actually not done by Jet Li!)

Bruce Lee: Return of the Dragon and Chinese Connection

Sammo Hung: Enter the fat dragon (comic version of Return of the dragon)

 

[gloco]

Yeah, Return of the Dragon has always been a favorite of mine, maybe because it involves Chuck Norris who was probably the best opponent Bruce faced in his movies and also the fact that their was a change of scenery compared to all his other movies.

I wish they would remaster his flicks, the DVD's that are out currently look like VHS>DVD transfers (minus Enter the Dragon).

 

[Matthew-Spaltro]

Suposedly Chuck Norris was a real fighter back in the mid to late 60s

I just cannot believe that no one has yet mentioned Five Fingers of Death . The movie came out in something like 1972, and was the very first kung fu release in the US. This was the movie that started the kung fu craze. I was 17 at the time, and I just *loved* that film. I was browsing amazon, and it is available on DVD.
