Drunken Master 2 (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I'm always critical when Jackie puts comedy in his movies, but the comedy in this one is really funny and the fight scenes are amazing. This is an all time classic! Highly Recommended.
Two Great Cavaliers (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is a fantastic movie!! The entire cast is great: master kicker John Liu, China doll Angela Mao, Leung Kar Yan, and the list goes on. This one is non stop action from start to finish. Highly Recommended!!
The Avenging Eagle (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure One of the best Fu Sheng - Ti Lung collaborations. I actually liked the storyline, and the action was very good. Highly recommended.

I agree wholeheartedly. It is indeed one of the better Fu Sheng films available from this period.
The Secret Rivals 2 (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure In my opinion this movie is better than the first, although I prefer Wong Tao over Tino Wong. It really doesn't matter though because Hwang Jang Lee steals the show once again!! This movie is loaded with great action and superb fight scenes. Highly recommended.
Once Upon A Time In China 2 [Dutch Special Edition] (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts This is a great movie and I highly recommend it. Jet Li is awesome once again. Some feel that this is better than the first outing, but I feel the first is just a little better. Still, this is a 5 star movie.
Once Upon A Time In China [Dutch Special Edition] (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts This is a great movie that should not be missed. Great story and Jet Li is absolutely amazing. Highly recommended.
The Blade (product link) Swordplay/Sword(s) / Action/Adventure Great story and tremendous action. This is a must-see movie for martial arts fans. Highly recommended.
Shaolin Intruders (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Great movie with tremendous action. This is a kung fu movie enthusiast's dream. Highly recommended.
Five Deadly Venoms (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This movie belongs in every kung fu fan's collection. This is classic stuff!! I highly recommend getting a remastered version if possible. Great movie.
The Buddhist Fist (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Awesome movie! A kung fu classic. The last fight scene alone is worth the price of admission. Highly recommended!!!
Return Of The 5 Deadly Venoms (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is a great movie, though it's not really a sequel and there's only four Venoms--but still great nonetheless. May even be better then the original "5 Deadly Venoms", but being that the two movies aren't really related (other than by name), they should be judged on their own merit.
Chinese Super Ninja (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure If you like old school Kung Fu with a lot of action, then this movie is for you. It has lots of great fighting scenes and is really a fun movie. The plot may seem a little hokey, but the action more then makes up for what may lack in the plot. Definitely recommend.
Shaolin Temple Strikes Back (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is a terrific old school martial arts film! Mark Lung is awesome playing the drunken monk, but Chen San is equally good as an evil general looking to steal the princess from the grips of the Shaolin monks. I had never seen Wong Goon- hung before, but he is also good as a young bodyguard to the princess. I highly recommend this film for those that like old school kung fu movies featuring training scenes and tons of fights.
Beach Of The War Gods (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure There's nothing new as far as the Chinese vs. Japanese storyline goes, but this is an action-packed movie that delivers. I must also add that this is one of Wang Yu's better performances outside of the "One Armed Swordsman" flicks. Highly recommended for those that like lots of action.

You are right about Wang Yu: He was at his best in the One Armed Swordsman films, nearly as good in this, tolerable in the One Armed Boxer films, and much worse in just about everything else. His martial arts are minimal.
Lone Wolf And Cub 6: White Heaven In Hell (product link) Action/Adventure / Swordplay/Sword(s) This is a great series and this film does not disappoint, except for the ending, which I will not ruin for those who haven't seen it yet. I also highly recommend every movie in the series, although I felt "Shogun Assassin 3" (in the AnimEigo numbering of the films) was a little weak.
Azumi 2 (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Excellent sequel to the original. The storyline where they added a character that looked exactly like Azumi's old love interest was weak, but it doesn't matter all that much because what we want to see is Azumi mow down those that stand in her path anyway. If you liked the first flick, I highly recommend this one too.
Grand Master Of Death [Ground Zero] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Great movie starring Alexander Fu Sheng as the only person willing to stand up to the thugs in his village. Wang Lung Wei is an awesome villain with help from Leung Kar Yan (Beardy). My only complaint was the director's choice to stop the action in the end fight between Wei and Fu Sheng to flashback to show Fu Sheng training. Highly recommended.

Alexander Fu Shing is one of my favorite martial arts stars, he really excels in this film as the only guy not intimidated by a bunch of thugs. Wang Lung Wei as usual is a great villain, as you stated this is a great film!
Shaolin Traitorous (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is a great movie. I love to see Sammo playing serious roles even if it's as a villain. Chang Yi and Carter Wong deliver great performances as well. I took 1/2 star off because the wall of men was interesting the first time but long and and a little tedious the second time. I highly recommend this movie for the non stop action.
Lone Wolf And Cub 5: Baby Cart In The Land Of Demons (product link) Action/Adventure / Swordplay/Sword(s) This is a big improvement over "Shogun Assassin 3" (if you're following the AnimEigo numbering of the films). Good story, lots of spurting blood; and my only complaint is with the ease with which he disposes of the five warriors of the Kuroda clan. Higly recommended.
Fearless Fighters (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I can't explain why, but I really enjoyed this movie. It's not that the fighting is great or that the story was anything special, but it's just a little different than most movies you see. This isn't to be taken seriously, but just a fun movie to sit back and watch. Highly recommended.
