Alot of the titles on the site I already have but on vhs, don't laugh. The titles I am unfamilar with are the ones I am purchasing and any specific favorites that I already own I will purchase on DVD. If you see my reviews on any specific titles 5 stars you may want to check them out.
YOU ARE HERE:INTERACT HOME / KUNG FU CLASSIC VIEWER'S PROFILE
Six Assassins (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Absolutely entertaining. An evil warlord, or the Emperor's brother, does all types of cruel acts--killing people, taking land--and the hero he kills has some serious fighters in his clan that are not going to accept it. Our hero's kung fu is top notch, but so is the villain's. Don't want to spoil it for you, but it's a very good film. A must-have.

More story driven, than an action movie per se, but this is a top notch classic martial arts film.
Cat Vs. Rat (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Story about rivals with same teacher. Fu Sheng always wants to battle Adam Chang to prove who is the best. Gordon Liu comes along, gets saved, Adam is given a rank Fu Sheng thinks he should have...trickery ensues. I'll say probably a 3-1/2 to 4 star film.
Legendary Weapons Of China (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Oh yeah, this is a classic. Gordon Liu plays an almost invincible monk, but he is not even the main charcter. His brothers are Liu Cha Liang an (I forgot the other brother's name), who wants to be the leader of all the sects in the martial world. A must-have in your kung fu collection.

Absolutely five stars and a must have for any martial arts fan!
Stroke Of Death (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Wow, forgot about this old school classic, saw it way back in the day. Still think "Iron Monkey" is the best out of all monkey kung fu films. A must have.

This movie is far superior to Mad Monkey Kung Fu, even if that movies does inspire its fans to use caps when mentioning it.
Executioners From Shaolin (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Second installment of Bi Mae. A true classic. Find the weak point if you can. Tiger style to go with it but in the end he gets cheated by Wong Yu. A must-have.

The only possible weak points lie with the humour and questionable costume for Yu
Men From The Monastery (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Classic old school all-star cast. Shaolin Temple disciples against the Manchus. A must-have.

Agreed, no collection is complete without this gem!
Shaolin Mantis (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure David Chiang, Liu Cha Liang Gordon Liu, and a cast of Shaw stars delivered in this tale. The Emperor wants a list that needs to be retrieved. If not, David's family will be jailed and eventually killed. A famous patriot who is incognito, Liu, is the elder with his family, all experts who support his actions. Long story short, the hero is defeated, learns Mantis style, and wants revenge. A must in your library.

My favorite David Chiang solo effort! He made some greats with Ti Lung, but this film depicting how mantis style was created was quite enjoyable!
Fearless Dragon (product link) Martial Arts / Comedy Only thing I liked about this film was Wang Lung Wei as the villain. Not really into this one. I would suggest you might want to pass on this.
The New One-Armed Swordsman [3-Movie Set] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure David Cheng, Ti Lung and Ku Feng--oh, can't forget Chen Sing--in this bloody tale of revenge. David has a duel with Ku, underestimates his Triple Iron skills, and loses an arm per the agreement before the duel. Ti comes in as an hero looking for the evildoers at the fort, which include Ku and Chin Seng. He got what he was looking for--let's just say he was a whole man when he arrived. Anyway David goes to the fort for a return duel with Ku and blood spills royal. A must have. CLASSIC.

Agreed, a true classic! I really liked David Chiang's brooding character as wellas Ku Feng's evil master of the triple irons!
Ninja In The Deadly Trap (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Kuo Choi, my man Lu Feng, and forgot the acrobatic Venom's name, along with the all mighty Ti Lung, round up this incredible cast--oh, almost forgot my man that was in "Heroes From The East", the ninja plays the villain. It's a notch or three down from "Super Ninjas" as far as Chinese warriors against samurais and ninjas go, but very entertaining fights and heroic bloodshed.

a fun flick. The Heroes of the East actor you are thinking of is Yasuaki Kurata.
The Web Of Death (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Real old school. I guess I dont appreciate this film since the action is too slow, but Lo Lieh held my interest.

It was too slow for my taste also. Plus, that spider! So silly.
Shaolin Death Kicks (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Old school Ku Feng flick, pretty good fight scenes, not much else to comment on. Worth checking out.

Rare to see Ku Feng as the hero, he did a creditable job.
Chen Kuan Tai is one of my favorite old school actors! This is an old school classic that helped start the guillotines flying in varius Shaw Brother features.
Dance Of The Drunk Mantis (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Hwang Jang Lee is the man and Sam Seed does his thing as usual. This movie is kind of all over the place, but since the two masters are in the film I have to give 4 stars.

You're right, I don't consider this to be an all around good movie, but some of the fights make it classic. I flipped when I first saw Hwang Jang Lee bust out into drunken mantis kung fu! Nice to see Siu Tin in a longer fight.
