kung fu films

[Shippou-Sensei]

also i find it played out a bit better... much move movement and attacks where as when watching a bruce lee fight the is a lot of standing still then a short flury of activity perfectly acceptable for a fight not so good for a movie

i just find chan to be a better film star .. he plays to the camera as well as being a rather good fighter

Fist of Legend.

Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten?

Five Deadly Venoms

one of the loopiest kung-fu movies of all time

I still haven't seen Kung Fu Hustle... Ridiculous considering I'm living in China. Problem is always finding out which Chinese films are which and which ones have English subtitles...

I watched kung fu hustle with no subtitles, still loved it. I watched ong bak this afternoon dubbed in spanish, bit weird but still excellent. Blimey, I'll be a diehard fan soon...

Five Deadly Venoms

Yeah! Five Deadly Venoms is fantastic.

From a previous thread: my favourite martial arts films

excellent thread i've got Wheels on Meals on DVD may watch it tonight although was planning on watching Seven Samurai, Project A another excellent Chan movie where jackie does the "hanging from the clock tower" homage to Harold Lloyd

For me, the Chan/Urquidez fight feels much more "real" somehow because they'd probably be a fairly reasonable pairing in a no-holds-barred match fight of that kind.

just earlier today i watched a copy of one of Urquidez's title defences. He certainly was good! Tomorrow i think i may sart a kickboxing/muay thai/mma thread

Of course, there is also the Japanese martial arts film tradition. Some monster directors like Kurosawa's (first) movie about the legendary Judoka Shiro Saigo or Inagaki's movies with Toshiro Mifune as Musashi
