Okay, would like something to watch for tonight and I´m thinking something jet-li or jackie chan-ish. Problem is that all I hear when thinking that is crickets, so I turn to you guys. Simple plot is fine, but I prefer there to at least be a tangible one... You´ve got an hour or two before I have to pick, so, GO! /Tries to break a brick with his forehead Oh, and could someone call an ambulance for me? Oki Thx |
Recommend me a martial arts movie!

Registered 16 years agooooh - second the vote for Fist Of Legend (Jet Lee's remake of Fist of Fury)... it's one of the best kung fu films I've ever seen!
Drunken Master 2 is great as well if you can find a copy. -

Registered 20 years agoI'll second Ong Bak and Hero.
Seven Swords is a lot of fun although I'm not sure it's exactly a classic. The HK DVD of it is out though, it's worth picking up if you see it cheap! (i.e. not the prices the rip-off merchants in Chinatown will try and charge for it ) -

Can I just second these? Fantastic entertainment!
the legend of Fung sai Yuk 1 amd 2
Only trouble is, the UK release of legend of FSY 1 I have (titled 'Jet Li's The Legend) is pap. Not anamorphic, but letterboxed, and dubbed, with not even the option of subtitles (I don't have the TV on loud because I live in an old flat, so subtitles are a godsend even if the soundtrack is in English). It's one of the laziest put together DVDs I've seen. The humour is completely lost with the cack-handed dubbers.
From what I can make out from the reviews on Amazon, the sequel on DVD gives the option to have cantonese voices with subtitles, which is infintely preferable. Doesn't say whether it's anamorphic or not though. -

Shiri? Never heard of it. Is it Japanese? -

Registered 16 years agoIf we're talking eastern action films, I highly recommend "Versus" (it's by Ryuhei Kitamura, who also did "Azumi").
It's a comedy/OTT zombie swordfight film in the same vein as Evil Dead 2 (OTT action horor kind of film).
Some people haven't liked it cos it's really silly, but I love it - except for the tagged on ending which kinda ruins it IMHO, but the rest of the film more than makes up for it.gif)
