What are your favorite martial arts movies?

[siqqunt]

Hi everyone! I am looking forward to being a part of this forum. As you might've seen in my introduction post, I looooove martial arts movies. My favorite of all time is Ong-Bak, and I also love old Jackie Chan movies.
Does anyone here have a favorite martial arts movie?

The 1996(?) Legend of Drunken Master is my all time fav, followed by Rumble in the Bronx, Shaolin Soccer, All the Ip Man films, and Kung Fu Hustle. I like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon but the ending bums me out so I don't watch it much.

I have access to an extensive and well curated collection of 50's-60's samurai movies, 60's and 70's 'classic kung-fu and wuxia' movies from Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, 80's and 90's and 2000's new age wuxia titles, 80's and 90's Hong-Kong action flicks and some spicy comedies and exploitation movies in the genre. My favourite keeps changing with my mood and with the times.

The last ones I have re-watched were 'classic wuxia' ones: Come Drink With Me and Last Hurrah for Chivalry.

I have not dabbled in more modern and down-to-earth martial arts movies lately but if you liked the muay thai action in Ong Bak, you surely will love silat in The Raid: Redemption and its sequel: The Raid 2 (just be ready for graphic scenes).

Enter the Dragon. All time favorite.

TV series Warrior
3 seasons and the action is awesome

Where to start?

Chang Cheh made countless classics at Shaws, from The One-Armed Swordsman in 67 through to his last Venoms works in the 80s.
Lau Kar-leung, formerly one of Chang Cheh's regular action directors, went solo in 75 and produced numerous classics himself, including the mighty 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Tiger on the Beat is a rare modern day action comedy he helmed for Cinema City, starring Chow Yun-fat and Conan Lee, and features an insane chainsaw duel between Conan and Gordon Liu.
Bruce Lee goes without saying.
Angela Mao was one of Golden Harvest's biggest stars in the post-Bruce/pre-Jackie and Sammo years.

Will likely add some more to this soon.

Enter The Dragon is still a real solid in ny book. But, honestly, any non-US made "martial arts" flick from the 70s or 80s is either amazing to me or just silly, lol. And I enjoy both! But a good one & sequel is "The Heroic Trio" / "Executioners". Great if you haven't seen them then check them out!

A classic—Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee. Also, two films shot in black and white in the 1950s to early 1960s featured some of the first karate scenes in a fight. These scenes captivated audiences who had never seen them before. The movies were Bad Day at Black Rock, starring Spencer Tracy, and John Frankenheimer's The Manchurian Candidate, featuring Frank Sinatra, the legendary "Ol' Blue Eyes".
