Kung-Fu Cinema

What are your favorite kung fu movies? I just finished watching Jet Li's "Fearless" and loved it. Definitely up there with my favorites, Iron Monkey and Legend of Drunken Master.

Only like martial arts BEFORE "WIRE-FU"! So that means Bruce Lee,and none except Bruce Lee. Getting ready to check out another who doesn't use all that phoney bologna and that is Tony Jaa, in Ong-bak.

How about Kung-Fu Hustle? I've only seen bits and pieces of it, but it was great...

I never much cared for Jackie Chan in his 20th Century movies, but I saw an awesome period movie he did called 8 Diagram Pole Fighter.

The Hong Kong period movies, especially from the Shaw Brothers, while cheesy, are my favorites. The absolute best of these is Master Killer also called "36th Chamber of Shaolin". Gordon Liu, who stars as legendary monk San Te appeared in both Kill Bill Vols., neigher of which I can bring myself to watch because I can't stand Tarentino.

Had to turn off Ong-bak. Unbearable sound, with sounds of 2 different people speaking in 2 different languages at once,sounded like an off-kilter echo! Never experienced such a thing in my life,Totally weird! English sub-titles,had words I was not going to sit there and read! ie. bad language

Don't limit yourself.
Wire-Fu can and has at times taken martial arts films to different levels.
It's hit or miss, but if you don't give a movie a chance then it's always a miss.

That's too bad.
I guess it's hard to get around the language problems these days.

Well I did try Crouching Dragon(Tiger?) and it could have been hilarious as Kung Fu Hustle,except it is supposed to be serious! It was unbelievably ridiculous for me, and a total insult to serious Martial Artists as I have read on reviews.
I did like Blood Sport though.
