Top 3 martial arts movies of all time

Prodigal Son is very good, it's just kinda light on the fighting for my taste. loved the magnificent butchers...have you seen the Buddhist Fist? the comedy can get a bit annoying, but it's another YWP classic. i think the full movie is on youtube.

Never heard of that one bro. Will definitely check it out
 
All my favs have been covered already except for

Magnificent Butcher
The Prodigal Son

It's been mentioned but I watched Flash Point the other day and it was bad ass. I'm definitely watching some more Donnie Yen
Prodigal Son is GOAT
 
Shanghai 13 deserves a mention...i can't remember if there is even a plot, but it's so full of fight scenes and legendary actors that it's worth a watch.
 
Wow, this thread is.... disappointing. I thought you guys would be a bit into good movies :p

13 Assassins is GREAT

For something everyone would feel a connection to, Jackie Chan's Police Story

An absolute classic is The 36th Chamber of Shaolin.

If you want a badass film watch The Street Fighter

Unleashed
The One

The One is probably the most unique and underrated combination of kick ass fighting with a unique plot. I watch this movie probably twice a year since I was 10. The online reviews and ratings for this movie baffle me, fuck them.
 
Probably hard to kill or above the law. I like Seagal films because the fight scenes are realisticer more so than anybody else's.

The one with the twin brother Jamaican voodoo black dudes is awesome as well.
 
I plan on having an action movie night this Saturday with some friends need suggestions?


Jackie Chan's Drunken Master 2 is number 1. Jet Li's Fong Sai Yuk no. 2. Maybe Bloodsport no. 3.

Any fan of jet li who hasn't seen Fong Sai Yuk owes it to themselves to see it
