Kung Fu Hustle for the win.

Also a fan of Ip Man 1 and 2. Think I liked part 2 better actually, although I watched them back-to-back so some parts might run together. Fantastic action.

nathanp · 03-04-2013, 11:46 PM

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, because its absolutely gorgeous.

L-Rouge · 03-05-2013, 12:46 AM

probably blood sport, a mate lent it to me some years ago back in 94?..I saw this before kickboxer and much prefer it.

KingRad · 03-05-2013, 01:21 AM

A few that come to mind are Ip Man, Fearless, Hero, Ong-bak, Kill Bill: Vol. 1, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The Chinese Connection, and Drunken Master.

Decado · 03-05-2013, 01:43 AM

The Raid: Redemption

I don't remember the Bruce Lee films ageing particularly well. Maybe I'll have to hunt them down again.

Chris60119 · 03-05-2013, 01:44 AM

Bloodsport! Saw it as a kid and loved it back then. It's a classic to me.

Taipan · 03-05-2013, 02:56 AM

I would have to say IP Man now, with The Chinese Connection second, and then the Legend of Drunken Master third.

s2mikey · 03-05-2013, 12:02 PM

The Matrix series....

bluthx · 03-05-2013, 12:13 PM

REDBELT - suprised nobody has mentioned this one yet. I really enjoyed it.

ZooTv · 03-05-2013, 12:54 PM

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

dholmes · 03-05-2013, 01:02 PM

Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris in Return of the Dragon,the best fight scene ever!!!! not a great movie

CoolRanch · 03-05-2013, 01:03 PM

The Matrix - Why? Because it's one of the smartest sci-fi/martial arts films I have ever seen and can even be symbolic at times.

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 - Why? Because it's so damn cool!

menaceuk · 03-05-2013, 05:54 PM

Used to be Enter the Dragon but IP Man become my new favorite.

Great story. Good acting and awesome choreography and fight scenes.

A lot of Seagal's films don't just seem bad, a lot of them were bad.

Above the Law and Under Seige were tight, reasonably well made and a lot of fun but things started going downhill pretty fast from there. Hard to Kill and Marked for Death were enjoyable enough but you could see the wheels coming off even as early as Out for Justice.

emac213 · 03-05-2013, 07:01 PM

Fearless and Hero for me. Big Jet Li fan.

lifepawn · 03-05-2013, 07:29 PM

Fist Of Legend with Jet Li.

I put Crouching Tiger, Hero, etc under the wuxia genre not straight up martial arts flicks.
Hero (with proper subtitles) is one of my favorite movies of any genre.

Trigger89 · 03-05-2013, 08:02 PM

Fist of Fury

SixSpeedSamurai · 03-05-2013, 08:10 PM

Ip Man
Drunken Master II
I could probably rattle out a few more.

Steelmaker · 03-05-2013, 08:23 PM

Return of the Dragon. The epic battle between Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris at the Roman Colosseum is the greatest!!

The Dragon · 03-06-2013, 02:26 PM
