The Kung-Fu/Samurai lover thread

So, which are your favorites?

I think Bruce Lee's Fists of Fury is the best one ever. In my opinion his movies were the most realistic because there wasn't a lot of that flying around suspended on wires action or any other supernatural powers involved.
He just busted people up.

Shogun Assassin.

Twilight Samurai.

Game Of Death.

Iron Monkey

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Once Upon A Time In China.

Fearless.

Easily Yojimbo. If I were a samurai I'd want to be that one.

Drunken Master is by far Jackie Chan's best movie.

What about Kill Bill vol. 1? I loved how he ripped off several kung-fu and samurai movies.

George Lucas originally wanted Mifune Toshiro to play Obi Wan. That would've been awesome.

You rattle off that list and leave off Musa the Warrior, House of Flying Daggers, Ong-Bak, and Curse of the Golden Flower? Really? For shame.

And what's wrong with you Gina? Wireworks are fucking awesome.

Also anything by Stephen Chow is fucking rad. God of Cookery has to be one of the weirdest films ever made.

I never said they were not awesome. I said Bruce Lee's movies were the most realistic because they didn't have that stuff.

 

[theacoustician]

Oh, and it isn't kung fu, but for sheer brutalness, Oldboy tops them all.

were talking martial arts not asian movies

Too bad Bruce Lee never finished his Game of Death. The footage they showed in that 2000 documentary looked really good.

Here's a nickel. Why don't you run off and play. The big people are talking here.

I haven't seen Old Boy. Is it more brutal than Ichi the Killer?

I believe he came in 2nd.
