Calling this Takashi Miike's best film ever is roughly akin to Uwe Boll calling Bloodrayne his best movie ever. Miike is a hack who is fawned over by people still mesmerized by the supposedly exotic nature of Japan. This movie is pure garbage.
The Story Of Ricky (product link) Horror / Action/Adventure Man, I wish the director of this movie Nam Nai Choi ("Seventh Curse") was still around making movies! He is my top-5 favorite directors of all time! "Story Of Ricky" is definitely one of the goriest films ever made! It ranks with Peter Jackson's "Dead Alive" among others! The fights were awesome and the story is original!
We're Going To Eat You (product link) Horror / Comedy This is one of the most demented films ever made! Picture Italian horror meets Chinese kung fu with slapstick comedy and you got "We're Gonna Eat You"! One of Tsui Hark's earliest films (second I believe) about a cop and robber on an island who find themselves in a village full of cannibals! The gore is as good as an 80's Chinese horror film will get and it's pretty good! The fights were good!
Sky High (product link) Thriller / Crime The movie has some greatness to it! It's got a pretty decent thriller/fantasy plot. The fights however were a bit goofy! There's just too much posturing and none of the actors were really that great of performers in terms of action fights!
The 14 Amazons (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure It's got plenty of action and the story is good! The film has a very epic feel like "The Heroic Ones"!
The Assassin [1967] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Sort of lacks in action, but the story is very dramatic! The final fight scene was crazy!
The Blood Brothers (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is my favorite Chang Cheh film ever (aside from "Five Deadly Venoms")! The acting was super, the story was flawless, and the fights were good!
The 36 Deadly Styles (product link) Martial Arts / Comedy Joseph Kuo is one of my favorite kung fu film directors, but this movie was a bit stupid! The Long brothers fight scene was the only thing good about this movie! And seeing two guys in western women's wigs was funny!
The Brave Archer (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure The plot of this film is stupid, and the ending of this film was retarded! The fights were good, so there!
The Brave Archer 3 (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Much better than the first two! The story is a lot better and it's not as confusing! The film lacked in action, but it's all worth it cuz the action is splendid!
Cat Vs. Rat (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Very funny in its own way! The fights are different from other kung fu films, but they were fun!
The Chinese Boxer (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This movie revolutionized Chinese kung fu cinema! NOT BRUCE LEE! SHUT UP! This movie is my ultimate ideal of a good kung fu movie! Chaos, blood splattery mayhem!
Dance Of The Drunk Mantis (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure One of Yuen Wo Ping's more obscure films! This movie rules with Yuen's wacky voodoo kung fu garbage, and the story was typical but fun!
Rendezvous With Death (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is another great kung fu film by Sun Chen (sic). Lots of great fights and good story!
The Master Strikes Back (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure There are only two or three action scenes in this movie! The movie is mostly a drama film, but a very decent one at that if you're into that sort of thing!
Bat Without Wings (product link) Martial Arts / Thriller Mostly anything Chu Yuan does is good. What I like about films like this is that the fights are plentiful and lack repetitiveness. "Bat Without Wings" is a great wuxia pien thriller with a great story and great sword fights. The best is the Gene Simmons look-alike!
Erotic Ghost Story (product link) Erotica / Ghost Nam Nai Choi is among one of my all time favorite directors because of his films' originality and weirdness. "Erotic Ghost Story" is one of those. The only thing I don't like about this one is it sort of rips off "Witches Of Eastwick" (only "Erotic Ghost Story" is more softcore porn). But this movie is weird and fun.
Five Deadly Venoms (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure "Five Deadly Venoms" is my top 10 favorite kung fu movie (if not movie) of all time. I like the movie because of the mystery and the clever characters. The Five Venoms Clan idea is great. The fights were good too.
Masked Avengers (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This movie is kind of like "Five Deadly Venoms"--clever, creative and mysterious. This movie is very virulent and nuts, but this is one of my favorite Venoms films ever. Great fights and good story.
Killer Army [Ground Zero] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure [Warning: Contains Spoilers.] This movie has a lot of fights, and all were good. The story is maliciously good. My favorite scene is in the middle, when Sun Chien betrays the heroes. That threw me off.
Opium And The Kung-Fu Master (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I bought into the idea that this film was grand. And I'm glad I did. This movie is one of the best Shaw Brothers has to offer. Great dramatization dealing with opium addiction, excellent fights, and Ti Lung is a great actor (normally I wouldn't care for one's ability to act).
A Slice Of Death (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure A nice, decent little kung fu movie. The story wasn't inspiring, but Lo Lieh as Pai Mei rules, and the fights are nice!
Ode To Gallantry (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I wouldn't recommend this one unless you're a hardcore Venoms fan. The fights were lacking (good, but lacking), and the story was mediocre.
Shaolin Daredevils (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure The Venoms actors Kuo Chui, Chaing Sheng and Lu Feng do a great job with their acrobatic skills for this movie. Though most of the action scenes were saved until the end (except Lo Meng's fight scene and training scenes), the kung fu scenes are good. The story is not the best, but it's not bad either. Overall it's still a great Venoms film.
The Ghost Snatchers (product link) Ghost / Horror Another great weirdo film by Nam Nai Choi, who directed "Story Of Ricky". The movie is like "Ghostbusters" on crack with some cute puppetry and bloody scenes.
The Weird Man (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is the movie where Chang Cheh became senile and kooky and started making crackhead films. Although the story is dumb and confusing if not idiotic and kung fu action is unlimited and all is great.
Invincible Pole Fighter (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure A ton of spear and pole fighting action and all of it is choreographed to perfection. And the story is very angry (most likely because this was Fu Sheng's last film he made), but very sufficient. One of my favorites.
The Martial Club (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure The story is asinine, but this movie has a ton of martial arts action and all of it is good.
Demon Of The Lute (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure If you like weirdo movies like "Dreadnaught", "Taoist Drunkard" or "Miracle Fights", then you'll like this movie. I personally didn't care for it.
Dirty Ho (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure A great blend of comedy and action. I love the idea of stealth kung fu. All the fights were good.
The Flying Guillotine (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure A cult classic. The fights aren't the best, but the idea of a flying guillotine is very exuberant. I love it. The story is great--one of the best in Shaw movie cinema.
Stroke Of Death (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Nothing but kung fu action. Literally. The story is simple yet not gratifying, but the fights are excellent, ranging from gibbon fist to pole fighting to other stuff.
The Flag Of Iron (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure One of my top 5 favorite Venoms films. Sufficient mystery story (kind of) with great characters, costumes, and bad-ass martial arts fighting.
The One Armed Swordsman (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I love Chang Cheh's 60's wuxia pien films with Jimmy Wang Yu. They are among my favorites of the whole Chinese cinema. "One Arm" is the best of them all, with a great story and fights that are just cool.

I agree , Jimmy Wang Yu clearly demonstrates his great acting skills and charisma in Chang Cheh's 60's wuxia, this and its sequel being the best!
Heaven And Hell (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure The movie is weird and the fights are good, but the movie just drags along, boring me to tears.
Human Lanterns (product link) Horror / Thriller Beautiful and grizzly. this movie is a work of art. I could ask for more explicit gore and blood; but other than that, the story is good, cinematography is perfect, and the fights are great.
Duel Of The Iron Fist (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Lots of knife fighting, lots of blood, and so on. This one has a great gangster style story with great fights.
