No Name Student Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 The Legend of Drunken Master and the Once Upon a Time in China movies. All preferably in their original formats. I really don't like it when movies are dumbed down for American audiences. The production companies will cut and paste a martial arts movie until it is hardly recognizable. Sorry for the rant but it is one of my biggest pet peeves.
No Name Student Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Yeah, mostsolid, American martial arts movies are pretty good. But when I'm in the mood for a foreign martial arts movie, I enjoy seeing it as it was originally intended:)
torris Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Oh man, favorite MA Movie. Uhm, tough one. Gotta give kudos to Jackie Chan, his movies are hilarious. But, S. Seagal in The Glimmer Man, and Marked for Death.
UncleBob Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Enter The Dragon Drive Hero Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Drunken Master
Oni Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Drunken Master Police Story 2 Fist Of Legend Legend Enter The Dragon Way Of The Dragon Master With Cracked Fingers These are all great films which I would recommend to anyone if they like Martial Arts. I like most martial arts actors: Snipes, Seagal, Van Damme. But I also like the other martial arts actors: Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Samo Hung, Bruce Lee.

doubletwist Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Lets see, I'm hardly an afficionado of MA films but here's what I've enjoyed. -Perfect Weapon -it's kenpo of course I like it, even if the script and acting aren't nearly as good as the MA. -Rush Hour -It's fun, it's funny, and JC is always a joy to watch. -Enter The Dragon -Bloodsport -Various other Jackie Chan flicks [Legend of Drunken Master, Rumble in the Bronx, etc]. -Jet Li - all I've seen of him is The One and Romeo Must Die, but I enjoyed watching him.

Jbone1 Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 My favs I mainly go by the fighting not the like of the movie in whole. Enter the Dragon (of course) Chinese Connection Return of the Dragon Only the Strong Best of the Best Iron Monkey Drunken Master Rush Hour 1 and 2 (though not much martial arts) The Chuck Norris movie with Bill Wallace Any scenes with Donny Yen (since they don't give him many parts) Kiss of the Dragon Rumble in the Bronx Original Game of Death last fight scenes Fight scenes in Dragon the Bruce Lee story I cannot forget THE LAST SAMURAI Bourne Identity fight scenes, Supremacy didn't have none Mission of Justice Blood Sport, when I was young Kickboxer 1, actually had the real Tong Po he was a beast.
