The Shaw Brothers / Run Run Shaw library is finally coming out on DVD, awesome stuff I used to go see as a kid in the SF and LA chinatowns in the early 70's. Chinese sword & sorcery / wuxia before the kung fu era.

Jet Li's "Fist of Legend" is a good modern movie, kung fu vs. karate (set during the Japanese occupation).

Also the Tarantino "Iron Monkey" re-release is not (just) dubbed, it also has redone subtitles. Dubbed = blech.

When did the original "Iron Monkey" come out?

Any fan of martial arts movies, MUST put Wu Du AKA Five Deadly Venoms on him must see list.

If you want something more recent, Iron Monkey is the clear winner.

Older Jet Li movies are also worth seeing.

Don't have any suggestions, but here's a bump since I'm also interested.

My God, no one has said Enter the Dragon yet. You all should be ashamed.

I really enjoyed Twin Warriors with Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh.

Just saw the return of the five deadly veoms: was the first one as craptacular as the second one?

Jet Li's Fist of legend is one the best martial arts flick I've seen in my life.

 

[TranceNation]

ignore everybody, they dont know jack
I say these are must:

1. Kung Fu Cult Master
2. Heroes among Heroes (must know chinese though)
3. Hero

Yup no white guys in it. Sho Nuff.

As for the 5 Deadly Venoms, I've got the DVD but it isn't as good as the edited version on TV. Too much side plot stuff that takes away from the movie IMO.
