Bio: I am a kung fu movie nut. I don't know how to explain the way it feels to watch stars like Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Gordon Lui, Ti Lung, David Chiang, Moon Lee, Cynthia Khan, just kicking butt.
Invisible Target (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts Good cops, corrupt cops, hard-nosed cops, unstoppable thugs, fists, kicks, and gunplay. A fun ride for action lovers.

It isn't perfect, but there sure is alot of tight action in this one. Pretty solid effort from Wu Jing as a crazy thug.
Grand Master Of Death (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Fu Sheng stars as a young man willing to rid the town of gangsters, even though the townsfolk don't believe in him. A classic storyline, with action to back it up.
The Flying Guillotine (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I just love the idea of quick silent assassins, running around beheading anyone needed to benefit the evil overlord.

One of my all time favorites. I have some sort of weird fetish for Flying Guillotine films!
The Flag Of Iron (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Brotherhood, loyalty, double-cross, triple-cross, full of old school action from the wiz, Chang Cheh.
Five Fingers Of Death (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Lo Lieh is a man out for revenge after his master is killed. I love this film, even Lo Lieh's silly glowing hands at the end of the film.

Cheesy glowing hands, the theme from Ironsides, God I loved this one, when I saw it growing up! Classic!
Five Deadly Venoms (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure If you haven't seen any Shaw Bros. movies before, I recommend this one for the first. Plenty of action, twists and turns.
Fantasy Mission Force (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Jimmy Wang Yu called in a few favors to get this all-star cast together for this mental/crazy film about war, pirates, ghosts, and greed. Watch for those who enjoy insanity.
Executioners From Shaolin (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure It is time for justice after the Shaolin Temple is burnt to the ground. Bring on the fists and kicks.
Enter The Dragon (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure There is Bruce, Sax, and Jimmy K. taking on the "Mr. Hand Man". If you have not seen the movie yet, where have you been?
Dragon Inn [1992] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure A remake of the King Hu classic. Not as classy as the original, even with the stars involved. Donnie Yen's talents were wasted as the white-faced evil goverment official.
Challenge Of The Masters (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I was a bit disappointed with this movie, considering the people involved. It just feels like the movie runs at a steady pace and doesn't get to the climax I expected.

Yes, everyone must love one another. I hate these films! But some fights were good.
Bullet In The Head (product link) Action/Adventure / War Gunplay to the max as John Woo again explores the relationships of brotherhood and examines the way fear and greed can destroy a strong brotherhood.
The Chinese Boxer (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Jimmy Wang Yu, full of Chinese pride, shows the Japanese what Chinese boxing is all about. A classic!
This movie shows the best of the Long brothers, and Lee Yi Min.
Plenty of fights with different styles displayed, the training scenes and the mighty end, with the evil kung fu master (white hair and evil laugh included).
A must for everyone who loves the old school kung fu film.
I agree. Fast moving, and Cheng Pei Pei is cute, but not nearly as good as the trailer makes it out to be, and nothing at all original that I could see.
The King Boxer [1971] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Meng Fei helps out his friend, Jimmy Manfrei, in Thailand with the local mafia. But while Meng Fei is in Thailand the Japanese (lead by Yasuaki Kurata) have moved into the area and are causing trouble with Meng Fei's school and his sister.
On his return Meng Fei defeats Kurata, but later is killed in an ambush lead by Kurata.
Jimmy arrives to surprise Meng Fei but discovers his friend is dead. The final moments it is an all in brawl as the revenge is finally completed, with carnage everywhere.

I originally saw this in my favorite grind house theatre as a child. I loved it then and I love it now!
I wholeheartedly agree. This is one of the movie I watch over and over. I especially like Siu Tin as the "sleeping" guard and the hump-backed apothecary.
