Good ENGLISH SPOKEN martial art films

hm , looking to buy some kung fu films. i know ninja assasins is a must on blu ray , but any other good kung fu movies (english spoken) thats worth watching?

I heard The Karate Kid was good.

What's the problem with subs, mate?

you sure you only want English spoken ones? You're missing out all the original stuff!

The Forbidden Kingdom, everything else that's good is not english

yer it was good. and theres nothing wrong with subs. just watching to many sub movies get kind of annoying. but if you know any good asian martial art movies please share with me xD

In an effort to be completely unoriginal, I'm going to agree with the other posts in that the best ones are not in English. Isn't the bad dubbing part of the fun of a kung fu movie?

I'd start getting used to it now. There are so many good foreign films, and dubs are almost ALWAYS awful. It's a worthwhile skill. I e-know some folks from Finland, and they say that they're basically raised on subtitles, so reading and watching the frame comes, like, second/first nature to them.

Check out this Wuxia list, bra.

Have you seen Ong Bak?

I definitely prefer watching flicks in the language they were acted in, but if you are looking for English flicks...

This film is terrible, in that there are no actual actors in the film, no real script to speak of, and it is all over the map in visual quality. However, the stunt crew that put the thing together are all masters in their respective martial arts. No actors - all stunt people - authentic fights using real martial arts. The fighting is sick, IMO.

Here is an example of both the terrible dialogue and the fighting...

ive seen some of it.- might need to watch it all.

yeah once you read loads of subbed films you soon get used to just casting your eyes over them and absorbing them rather than reading them. It's just a learnable skill like any other.
My faves are Magnificent Butcher, Prodigal Son, Eight Diagram Pole Fighter and Drunken Master.

ill look those up and watch the ones that look most appealing to my likings, thanks!

you mean Ong -bak?

You have to watch that, no one could dislike it!

Have you seen Jet Li in Danny The Dog? that's English speaking.

Yep - terrible production. But..the fights!

are the fights sped up , or is it just the coreography seems a little bit better , it does imo
