best kung fu movies??

[HomerSapien]

I want to add a few kung fu movies to my dvd collection. I wouldnt mind bruce lee, but i know there is a ton of others out, like the wu tang clan movies and Jim Kelly movies. I havent seen many but i really like the genre and want to know what you guys think is quality kung fu. Im into really cool fight scenes, story line if it is funny, and parodies are always welcome...Any suggestions?

"Iron monkey" is great.

I think any movies with the actor "Donnie Yen" is good.

 

[Anubis]

7 samurai is great also not as much of a kung fu movie tho

I thought there were like 8 Once upon a time in china..........I think most of them are w/ jet li......but the rest were good too......

btw, donnie Yen is "In once upon a time in china 2," so if you have doubts, go watch that.

Especially since samurai and ninjas come from Japan, while Shaolin priests and kung fu are Chinese

Iron Monkey (be sure to get the 1993 PG-13 disc with much better subtitling)
Five Deadly Venoms

Sword & sorcery & superhero
- A Chinese Ghost Story
- The Bride With White Hair

not that Van Damme or Seagal actually know any kung fu, though Seagal would probably say he was Bruce Lee's sensei.

Just be sure to get the non US DVD release of Fist of Legend. As I recall, Disney did the US version, and only included the dubbed soundtrack. It is much better hearing the original language version with subtitles. The dubbed version is awful.
