All Men Are Brothers (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure What can I say? The Shaw Brothers continue to kick asses with this one. This film is jam packed with fighting scenes, and I have never witnessed so many deaths in one movie! This movie is a true kung fu classic, it's all out war in this film. You will have to check it out for yourself. If you like axes, spears, swords, fights, and all out warfare you will have to witness this Shaw Brothers classic yourself.
Five Deadly Venoms (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Another worthy addition to the collection. The movie may be a little slow in kung fu parts at times, but the kung fu at the end of this film is slick and makes up for it. Introduces some new forms of exotic kung fu, like lizard, scorpion, and centipede style.

can't say the 31/2 is a fair score but I'll give you a yes regardless.
Ninja In The Deadly Trap (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This movie has some of the most amazing fighting scenes I have ever seen. The ninja in this film are very convincing, and vicious. I really liked the storyline and music, something I am usually picky about. I highly recommend this action-packed mayhem-fest of all-out action. If you like Japanese ninjas, fighting the Chinese super fighters, this film is a must have classic to add to the collection.
Executioners From Shaolin (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Great movie by Shaw Brothers, once again. Another tale of revenge, and some very funny parts, mixed with lots of kung fu action. This is a classic movie for collectors of kung fu flix.
Two Champions Of Shaolin (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This movie is a champion, the Shaw Brothers prove themselves victorious once again in this classic tale starring Lo Meng, Chiang Sheng, Xue Er, Lu Feng and many others. Pick it up today.
Django (product link) Western / Action/Adventure "Django" is a true badass dude. Take this movie as a wild imagination into the west and enjoy. There is only one "Django" and this is it! Don't hesitate to see this showdown in a lonesome town.
Companeros (product link) Western / Comedy Fantastic movie, highly entertaining and atmospheric. Corbucci's magic shines in this one, complimented by another brilliant score by Morricone. Milian, Nero and Palance's characters are played well, with much charisma and dedication from these legends. Sit back, open a bag, and enjoy the wild ride.
Pray For Death [1985] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Pretty good ninja movie. SHO KOSUGI puts on an emotional performance, topped with raging revenge as he watches his dreams crumble right before his eyes. Could have had more explosive fight scenes in this, but this is a 1985 ninja flick by an American director. The bad guys in this movie are grumpy old Italian mobsters, so it wasn't really challenging for Sho, who had no trouble slicing, dicing and killing the lame bastards--who kind of reminded me of the Joker's henchmen in "Batman". Until next time...fulfill your revenge!
The Mystery Of Chess Boxing (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Fantastic kung fu film, highly entertaining fights, and cool story with Ghost Faced Killer. This old school classic should be added to the collection immediately.

I hope your not talking about the rapper cuz he sucks, Tee-Hee ;)
The Ultimate Jet Li Collection [4-Disc Set] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Stunning movies. The mighty Jet Li reigns supreme. If you do not have this box set, your training has yet to begin.
The Magnificent Butcher (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure A great kung fu movie with some funny parts, also has fantastic kung fu fights and a good story.
Invincible Obsessed Fighter [Ground Zero] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Kung fu mayhem, crazy all-out off-the-wall speed battles. This one is vicious with an epic final fu battle.
The Thundering Mantis (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Wow! This movie had some very interesting twists and turns. I recommend this film to any that like extreme kung fu flicks, very bloody at times. Don't be fooled, this film is not as innocent as you may think at first.
The Kid With The Golden Arm (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Mediocre Venoms film. It seemed a bit rushed, more like a play than a film. Still, it was fun to watch even though the film could be quite sloppy at times.

i loved this film too death but your point of view is admirable
Shaolin Kung Fu Mystagogue (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Very worthy movie of Shaolin. The film was great. Check out this awesome fu flick now, before this cult classic is gone--if you want to see 18th form, that is.
The Great Silence (product link) Western / Drama Easily one of the darkest westerns I've ever seen, with grim atmospheres, bloodying violence, the coldness of mother nature's "snow hill" deep in the mountains, and merciless bounty hunters that will haunt you in your nightmares after you see this film. Sergio Corbucci's amazing directorial duties shine so triumphantly in the art of filmmaking here. His films always leave imprints in my mind. He was one of a kind, and so are his films, so check them out!
Knockabout (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Great Sammo H. film! Comedic martial arts movie, with some seriously sick fight scenes that blew me away. The acrobatics displayed in this film are quite impressive. Cool characters, like Silver Fox.
Killer Army [Ground Zero] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Top notch Chang Cheh Venoms film. Superb kung fu action, cool storyline, and Venoms skill. A definite compliment to a serious martial arts movie fan's collection.
Transformers 20th Anniversary Box Set (product link) Animation / Science Fiction This is one of the best animated television shows ever created in the entire existance of the universe. This show came out back when cartoons could get away with a little violence, and not have some cheesy family call in and complain about something.
I was looking forward to the Hollywood version, but was erked when I saw they butchered my favorite storyline to suit the needs of the ball-less stortyline writers they have these days.
I found this set of the original show (not the crap remake shows), and it has survived the test of time. "Transformers" shines in all its glory here with this 4-season set. If you really want to know what happens originally on Cybertron, this is your answer. Transformers ROLL OUT!
Feel the force of Ip-Man's swift blows, as he takes on the troubles of life singledhandedly through a darkened time period of Japanese invasion inside China. Ip-Man uses his wit, wing chun, and luck to survive through such hardened times.
This film is easily one of the best to come out in recent times, with great story, action, and emotional drama. Donnie Yen stars with a golden performance, nominated for best actor and Hong Kong awards. Overall this film is very good and I can't wait for the sequel! Long live the Ip-Man!
Ong-Bak 2 (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Here you will find the golden well of Tony Jaa's playground of combat and danger. "Ong-Bak 2" is an amazing journey through a strange land, fighting for a survival of the fittest, only the most skilled of warriors will survive. Tony Jaa's dazzling martial arts performance pumps fresh blood back into the genre with a mix of some different styles, amazing action stunts, and daring performances by Jaa's cast and crew. Don't hesitate, this film is awesome. Jaa will be a great director one day. Looking forward to "OB3".
Burning Paradise (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Fong Sai-Yuk returns in this battle for survival inside the evil "red lotus" temple. After being captured by Manchu soldiers, Fong battles many to save himself and friends he meets along the way.
Cool story, action, gore, extreme beheadings, cool fighting, and creepy characters. I am glad I bought this movie, it was well worth it.
Dance Of The Drunk Mantis (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Another great drunken style movie about north vs. south style drunken boxing. I really enjoyed the movie. It kept me interested and entertained with a good story and slick fights. If you're a fan of "Drunken Master", this is great to add to the collection.
Legendary Weapons Of China (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Fairly simple plot, amazing display of fighting and use of weapons. Gordon Liu makes a cool appearance. This is an absolute must-have for Shaw Brothers kung fu fans.
Deadly Silver Spear (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Good movie. Jimmy Wang Yu stars as a silver spear-wielding assassin who kills for money. The film is not real big on martial arts but does display some. It's more of a weapons and gadgets fighting film, but the movie has some cool charachters, a decent storyline, and some grim atmosphere at times. So if you're a big fan of weapons fighting flix, then this movie will be an addition to pick.
Provides tons of fights, mild gore, little comedy, colorful settings, and cool characters. This is one of Mr. Li's early films, when he was very youthful, agile, and acrobatic. Mr. Li plays a good hearted, rebellious Shaolin monk who is on a mission to kill a ruler. On the way he meets others sent on the same mission; a certain ornament he owns may link him to the strangers' paths.
If you need to spice up your kung fu collection with quality, this is another Shaw Brothers gem from the past you must not pass up.
Police Story (product link) Martial Arts / Comedy This film is a blast! "Police Story" breaks ground with insane death-defying stunts, intense street fight scenes, some comedy, and a highly energetic Jackie Chan. This movie proves Jackie Chan made some amazing films outside of Hollywood, films that aren't watered down in any way. After I saw this film I respected Jackie more in the movie world, especially that he directed the film too! Some of the stunts they pull off are practically suicidal, and the fights are hard hitting! Tony Jaa could take a note or two from Chan. This film will remind you why Jackie is highly regarded in the martial arts/action stunt world. So if you need a dose of entertainment, I highly recommend picking this one up!

I agree on all points! Jackie also sings the theme song!
The Return Of Master Killer (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I really enjoyed this classic Shaw Brothers flick starring master Gordon Liu. Cool story and rad fights lead this film into the halls of legendary kung fu film fandom. Classic material here not to be passed up!
The Street Fighter (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts Sonny Chiba plays a karate madman who is hellbent on destroying his crime boss man who turns his back on him. Passionate kill scenes add to the outrageousness of Chiba's war cries of pain and death. Classic Chiba flick, this is one man not to be double crossed!
The Bride With White Hair (product link) Martial Arts / Fantasy "The Bride With White Hair" is a strange love story told in an exaggerated, wuxia fantasy world. Not much action, but interesting story with some cool elements, turns, and twists. The action displayed is gruesome and over the top, which adds to the fun. Most fights are with weapons and magic, they mention kung fu but never display any shapes or forms of hand to hand. There's a very long, cheesy love scene that was kinda' funny, and the bad guy in this is hilarious! So if you're into strange fantasy swordplay flicks, this may be your pot of gold.
The Invincible Armour (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is one powerhouse of a kung fu flick! Tons of fight scenes--actually you get an overload of fu fighting in this one--and suprisingly good epic story. The sets are very natural--not a huge budget used on this one, but what they use works well. Contains some very good martial arts actors like John Liu and Hwang Jang Lee, who perform great, skilled performances and acrobatics displays. So if you feel the urge to overdose on fu fighting fanfare, this flick is the drug to pick.
Mr. Vampire (product link) Horror / Comedy Light on martial arts action, light on scare factor. If you want something with a little spook to it, with cheesy zombies and some black magic mixed with some acrobatics fighting, then this is your voodoo. Scooby Doo, where are you?
