Rank your favourite martial arts movies.

Bloodsport. The flying roundhouse kicks that ensued after this with friends was hilarious, used to chase each other all round the house causing chaos. Pretty sure it wasn’t suitable for 8-10yr olds

I can't quite believe this is the only mention of Drunken Master, it is a classic of the genre. Many of the early Jackie Chan films are good fun but I'd struggle to rank my favourite martial arts films though as there's so many to name.

Off the top of my head....
Drunken master 2(cantonese version, US dub is awful)
Police story
Ong bak
Raid 1/2
Project A
Dragons Forever
Kiss of the dragon
Fist of. Legend

Kung Fu Hustle

Criminally underrated film.

Kung Pow: Enter The Fist

Killing is badong!

 

[2013]

Kung Fu Hustle
Kung Pow: Enter The Fist
A Fistful of Yen (From The Kentucky Fried Movie)
Shaolin Soccer
The Matrix

Kung Fu Hustle was great, matrix was not very good for a martial arts movie IMO.
Ive not seen the other 3.

His first 2 movies are good but the rest not very he stopped caring.

Drunken Master was great would be in my top 10, I think the first one is much better then the 2nd only downside has been finding a good print.

[2013]

Fong Sai Yuk 1+2

I dont think ive watched them in about 8 years, ill need to get a copy and watch them again.

cant believe no one mentions iron monkey.

Ive never heard of it or seen it before but I like Donnie Yen is in it so I managed to get a copy just not got round to watching it yet.

Any other good suggestions ?

 

[killem]

cant believe no one mentions iron monkey.

Came on here to post that this is my number 1 glad some one else also rates it highly.

 

[chroniclard]

Iron monkey is awesome in a classic way but it's all mostly crazy wire work. Not a patch on actual martial arts flicks.

Too many I like and all are so different. In no particular order, but nostalgia probably plays a large part in why I like them more than more recent stuff.

Bloodsport / Kickboxer (I can't pick a favourite)
Wheels on Meals
Dragons Forever
Enter the Dragon

More recent stuff that really impressed me: Ong Bak and the Ip man films.
