That's the complete list...

... Unless you want to watch any of the following:

Best Of The Best (1989)
Kickboxer (1989)
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Bloodsport (1988)

Timecop (1994) is worth a look, too. Of course, if you don't like JCVD, you're pretty much screwed.

Martial art films? Well it depends on what type you're interested in, cos there are many types, you have your Chinese martial arts and i find it helpful to break it down into different dynasty. I really like the Wong Fei-hung series. And if i am not mistaken i think the setting is in the Ching dynasty period. Then you have your Golden Harvest productions of the 80's and 90's which are mostly modern. Movies like Police Story, Armour of God etc ...i like this period as well, they're funny and the actions are really good.

Then there is the Japanese Chambara films which i really enjoy.

There are just too many types of martial arts films out there and usually they are very similar but also very different in the sense that, they're all martial arts films but they all have different actions and a totally different feeling (i am not talking about the plot of the films), its hard to explain but if you're fan of martial arts movies then you will know that every different genre (?) of martial arts film has its own flavour (for lack of a better word).

Well, you know... I've seen some good dubs, but most are terrible, you have to admit. If the dubs were good, I'd go for them every time. For example, I usually watch Howl's Moving Castle dubbed, because I think that's a great-ass dub.

Here if Chinese martial arts movie is what you want, try these.

1. The Three Swordsmen
2. Dragon Chronicles of Heavenly Mountains
3. Dragon Inn
4. Swordsman I.II.III - Although I and II are better than the third part.
5. The Bride With White Hair
6. The Legend of Zu Mountain
7. Fong Sai Yuk (Comedy, but good martial arts action)

Once you watched them all tell me which one you liked and i'll recommend more, all the seven listed movies falls under different genre of martial arts i was talking about. So if you like one type i can recommend more of that type .

Check out Gordon Liu from Eight Diagram Pole Fighter in The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978)

Good recommendations from Rhoten. The Bride with White Hair and The Legend of Zu Mountain are those kung fu with magic, which once you get used to them they're great fun. Also in that vein and also from Tsui Hark there's Green Snake.


Just a question - what about Japanese samurai films? do you like them ?
