    Kung Fu Hustle or Shaolin Soccer.

    Drunken Master or maybe The Magnificent Butcher for classic movies but I have to say I really do like Kung Fu Panda.

    Crouching Tiger, but generally fighting (and gun fights and car chases and explosions) in films bores me to tears.

    A lot to choose from since then.

    Watched Ip man recently .

    Impossible to decide! The genre is just too broad and there are too many great artists. Overall Donnie Yen (Ip Man) might be my favourite but I think Ong Bak is my favourite film, mainly because it just blew me away the first time I saw it. Amazing fights, proper LOL comedy moments and incredible Jackie Chan-style stunts!

    House of Flying Daggers, for its wonderful sound engineering. The first time i saw it was in a Bose showroom, where it sounded awesome. Quite westernised, but sill very enjoyable.

    Fearless, for being brilliant. More of a classic kung fu style.

    Sooo many to choose from but anyone who likes the genre and hasn’t seen these should check out…..

    Fist of Legend. Once Upon a Time in China. The Blade. True Legend. Zatoichi and there’s loads more. My favourite might be Kung Fu Hustle though.

    The Duellists, the very first duel and the two duels with sabres are very good, the duel with ‘the sneeze’ is great in its unexpected way.

    The Matrix. Well duh.

    The Princess Bride has significant amounts of swordplay and the duel atop the cliffs of insanity is the best sword fight in cinema history.

    3. Fearless – naff film but very watchable
    2. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon – Stunning movie
    1. Game of Death – Although not properly finished, it was fascinating to see the passion from Bruce Lee

    I couldn’t get into When the last sword is drawn. Loved Ip man though. 13 Assasins is well worth a watch.

    The Hot, the Cool and the Vicious

    Huge levels of awesomeness – from the 70s before cgi and silly stunts.

    With you all the way racefaceec90 – subtitled version even makes sense as well; the dubbed is **** nonsense.

    Yuen Biao rocked and wasn’t in nearly enough films & Samo Hung was was just amazing for a fat man :mrgreen:

    +1 for The Raid, especially when you consider the tiny budget.

    Watched Raid 2 at the weekend and that was equally as good but maybe a bit too hardcore for me-violence cranked up to 11.

    I was a little disappointed with the raid 2… Nothing really new. I really really liked the first one as it was a bit of a difference to the usual kung fu films
