Kung Fu films?

[Biff]

does anyone know of any light hearted, amusing, yet good quality Kung Fu films?

ive tried looking on the internet, but its hard to get an impression of films without reading the reviews for all of them..

[quietchat]

You could go with Jackie Chan's more recent films (Except Rush Hour 3)

[Biff]

hmmm, sounds good, i've not actually seen much of jackie chan, ive watched kung fu hustle recently and it has got me wanting to watch more

[lee matsu]

no retreat no surrender ...."old school" ...and karate kid .....

[Sadrith]

Enter the Dragon, Game of death(Chuck Norris gets his ass kicked by bruce lee in this one), Fist of fury, The Chinese connection, and Unleashed.

Bruce Lee!! enough said....

Gonna agree with Q-Chat in this one, Jackie chan's movies are good, most of them at least.
And also Bruce Lee, may not be as "entretaining" as the Jackie Chan movies, but they sure got a lot of action::D:

You beat me to posting this.

Game of Death for sure and then maybe some Kill Bill Vol.1 right after.

I would stick to the predictable recommendations such as Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Chow Yun Fat movies. But i wont do IT!!! You need a small yet substantial dose of Kung Fu Hustle, too much and you might die of laughter.

...i love jackie chan's movie and bruce lee and jet li!,.and some shaolin blah blah movie!,.

hehehe!,.try watch them!,.♥

well if you're looking for something rather new age and westernized, then also try some of the high production titles like iron monkey, hero, crouching tiger hidden dragon, house of flying daggers, etc.
If you wanna get old school and f*ck the productions then there's way more awesomeness to check out, like shogun assassin, and the old shaolin/wu tang movies.

oddly, it didnt appeal to me as much as the kick at 3.00

granted it's a bad ass kick. and upon review, I'm not quite convinced he actually put those candles out with his kick...feelin' skeptical...

[Mugen]

wasn't it from the wind generated from the kick?

[strike7785]

What about those Japanese kung foo films. I find those to be better than what Hollywood puts out. Looks alot better for asians to be doing all the karate moves than watching Americans as well.

that's what I thought, but it moves sideways too much, to the point that I wonder if it's just some dude just off camera left with good timing blowing them all out. It's a heavy kick regardless.

you know if i could make all the noises when jackie was punching the air right after he took off his top..i'd be so happy

[-.Shiki.-]

I agree with Mugen, Tony Jaa is just TOO cool.
My favourites are Ong Bak and Tom Yum Goong.
You'll run the walls after seeing them.
