Master Of The Flying Guillotine (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure There's no way to go wrong with this one. This is what I see as one of the most influential Kung Fu movies of all time. Even if you haven't seen The One Armed Boxer, this movie is still exceptional in story and in action/fighting sequences. A bit campy in certain parts, but then again, all of my favorite Kung Fu movies are. One of the best independent studio releases I've seen.
The flying guillotine is quite possibly the coolest weapon to ever grace the silver screen. Couple that with foreigners (a Thai Boxer, a Yoga master that can stretch his arms, etc.) competing in tournament style fighting, and you can't possibly go wrong.
Mad Monkey Kung Fu (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Classic Shaw Bros. fare here. A great story, featuring a talented man who has a potentially bright future ripped from his hands, but is given a second chance through his energetic apprentice. The only thing keeping me from giving this a 5 star rating is the monkey abuse. Poor monkeys...
Return Of The 5 Deadly Venoms (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Awesome. Just awesome. The Venoms are back and better than ever, even with a few disabilities. As if circumstances such as being blind, deaf, mute, dumb, or without legs could stop the god-like power of The Venoms! Hah! Great fighting scenes, great acting. The story had me laughing and crying.
Shaolin Temple [1982] (product link) Martial Arts / Drama A young Jet Li was impressive in this movie, but the movie didn't move at a quick enough pace for me to give it a better rating. Definitely worth a buy if you're interested in seeing Jet Li in his early days, though.
