[KnightTemplar]

In no particular order,

Enter the Dragon

Out for Justice

Hard to Kill

The Last Dragon

Best of the Best II

Ong Bak

The Raid

Above the Law

Marked for Death

Under Seige

Bloodsport

Universal Soldier

Hard Target

 

[Thai Domi]

Kill Bill 1&2

 

[Strange King]

No Prime Tony Jaa yet??

He was so dominant in Ong Bak.



Also, my fave fight scene ever. Bad guys do sometimes win. And sometimes the good guys gotta fight dirty, to win.

I vote for Raid 2

 

[FierceRedBelt]

Give me some examples of pseudo-Asian campy stuff.

Fist of Legend is a legendary martial arts with some of the best fight duels in the history of the genre.

Man, Van Damme was so handsome back in the day..

Know how I know you are gay?

Lots of excellent replies in here. Lot of nostalgia factor. Here's my two cents
-Ninja 2: Shadow of a tear- Scott Adkins, pure fun, pure throwback
-Lionheart - Van Damn movie, I think, very underrated

I believe I'm in the minority, but I think I actually preferred the first Ninja film over Shadow of a Tear. The second may have had better action, but it never really felt like a real ninja film. And the train fight in the first movie was probably the best action movie in either one of them.

Undefeatable. Look it up.

 

[Okajima]

Not enough Ip Man love in here.

I actually haven't seen the first movie...

It's kind of goofy in some ways, but like I said, it feels more like a true ninja film to me and it also has a more interesting story than the totally generic story of the second film.

Here's a trailer:

Enter The Dragon

 

[Philo-Publius]

Not counting samurai movies I'd say:

10. Blade
9. The Karate Kid
8. Fearless
7. Warrior
6. The Legend of Drunken Master
5. House of Flying Daggers
4. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
3. Kill Bill: Vol. 2
2. Kill Bill: Vol. 1
1. Hero


Hmmm... I forgot that you could count The Matrix, so that would be up there somewhere. Though, I'm not sure I'd count The Matrix.

I would have definitely included Karate Kid in my rankings if I felt it belonged with the others. Karate Kid is more of a martial arts drama than a martial arts action film. Either way, Karate Kid is a classic.

Ill add: Rumble in the Bronx- Horribly awesome

Bloodsport 2- I think it went straight to video, but it was actually pretty good.

Marked for Death - Crazy Jamaicans. Nuff said

The Last Dragon- Bruce Leroy vs. Sho'nuff. The original rumble in the Bronx

Missing in action- Chuck Norris - F yeah

The Karate Kid and the Jaden Smith remake

My favorite American Martial Arts Movie is Billy Jack (1971). The greatest of all time Martial arts movie would be "Enter The Dragon" (1973)
