Just watched Triple Threat, has Tony Jaa and the dude out the Raid in it, not very good, few good fights but mostly poor, shame as the cast is solid for a martial arts flick.
Also started Once upon a time in Shanghai, has Sammo in it, turned it off after 20 minutes, its in black and white and the fight choreography/cinematography is poor.

Ya'll missing rumble in the bronx. Jackie Chan.

Bruce Lee films,
Fist of fury
The big boss
Enter the dragon
The way of the dragon
Game of death

Of course the classic Jackie chan films some already mentioned but I would include rush hour for stunts and entertainment.

Not strictly marshal arts but I would definitely recommend Big trouble in little China.

I'd also mix it up one step further and throw in the original Universal Soldier.

One of my personal favourites was 'Snake in the monkeys shadow'. Poorly dubbed and cheesey cliche story lines. Exactly what I love in a Martial Arts film.

Others that I loved watching when I was younger

Snake in the Eagles shadow
The Invincible Armour
Five Fingers of Death
Return to the 36 Chambers
Shaolin and Wu Tang

I may have to watch some over this week.

Unforgiven - think this is my favourite Eastwood film. I like how it’s fairly understated. Great characters. And...

what an absolute bad ass - surely one of cinemas best bad asses ever!

9/10

Edit - Oops wrong thread...
