+1 on Kung Fu Hustle!

TheZoof · 07-01-2009, 02:56 PM

I hate to say it but my all time favourite is Blood Sport. I do enjoy Kung Fu Hustle of course but Blood Sport was my reason for liking martial arts.

muathusanjose · 07-01-2009, 02:58 PM

Forbidden kingdom
Ip Man

There aren't many martial arts films available. The few that I can think of are Fearless and Ip Man, and Kung Fu Hustle, which is a martial arts comedy of sorts. There is also Red Cliff 1 and 2, but those are more military/historical than straight martial arts movie.

Then there are some older titles like Opium & The Kung Fu Master, Life Gamble, The Sonny Chiba Double Feature(Killing Machine and Shoguns Ninja), and Sister Street Fighter Double Feature.

I can recommend Fearless, Ip Man, Kung Fu Hustle, and both Red Cliffs as being very good to excellent discs.

Hero was an awesome film. I also loved the visuals, how most scenes had a theme color. It gave the film a really neat look as well.

I should watch it again on blu-ray.....

MaCruz · 07-01-2009, 03:11 PM

The only 2 I have and really like is Kick Boxer, and Enter the Dragon.

Tempest · 07-01-2009, 03:13 PM

Bloodsport is my favorite.

Lucy Diamond · 07-01-2009, 03:34 PM

Revenge of the Ninja...hands down.

ANYTHING with Sho Kosugi!!!

It's even better on DvD, because it's all ratty looking and nasty

I just watched Opium & the Kung Fu Master the other day and thought it was fantastic. Well worth the 13.99 Amazon charges.

Enter the Dragon started it all here in the states, great classic MA movie.

russ999 · 07-01-2009, 05:04 PM

Rumble in the Bronx

Romeo Must Die

Enter the Dragon

Hero

steve_dave · 07-01-2009, 05:05 PM

House of Fury
Chocolate (Get the UK release for best picture and subtitles)
The Forbidden Kingdom
The Accidental Spy
Breaking News
Fearless
Naked Weapon

Psychonaut · 07-01-2009, 05:10 PM

Fearless is a good one for Blu and a good film as well. Really, a lot of the older Jet Li movies are great especially Fist of Legend. For Hero-esque stuff, Zhang Yimou's other two martial arts type ones, House of Flying Daggers and Curse of the Golden Flower, would suit you as well.

Asking for good martial arts stuff opens a huge barrel of goodness.

I am patiently awaiting the Shaw Brothers library to show up on blu-ray. Looks like Celestial has painstakingly remastered most of them for HD:

I second this one

Enter The Dragon on BD just blew me away. I've seen this movie 100 times, never saw it this clearly and with so many details.
