Favourite Martial Arts Movies?

[Mr. Mike]

ong bak was good.

I like Unleashed, and the Once upon a time series...I like naything by Jet Li.

Chan's movies are good as well.

But, my all time favorite has to be Return of the Dragon by Bruce Lee.

Not just for the MA in the movie, but for all the stars, Chuck Norris, Bob Wall, etc., the cornier-than-life plot about a gang boss wanting the uncle to sell the restaurant-but the uncle being in on it the whole time, the gorgeous Ms. Chen, and the tubby Italian guy that looks like an uncle of mine knocking himself out with the nunchaku. Man, that movie rocks.

Hmm.. that's a tough question.. I like so many MA movies and for so many reasons.

When I was a kid the American Ninja movies (cringes) were one of the reasons I started MA.

As a teen I discovered Bruce Lee via Enter the Dragon and was instantly hooked.

Jet Li is of course a phenom to watch especially early in his career.

Jackie Chan may be considered the 'clown prince' of MA movies, but if you actually watch he has some of the best control and technique on film.

Then there's Chuck... Or Mr. Norris to you.. who seemed to bring the genre to American soil and do it without ever cracking a smile.

So I guess I'm going to have be a wuss and say that I can't even begin to come close to picking a favorite since there are so many to choose from. It'd be like having to pick a food for the rest of your life... Couldn't do it.
