Ya know I was wondering why everyone stopped posting in the Iron Monkey and the Martial Arts films forum was it because I supposedly know alot about martail arts films more then the others in there?
when i read the comments on this forum it makes me realize that, alot of people have not even mentioned some of the greatest kung fu titles of all time. no one hardly mentions the shaw brothers movies. well, here are some of my favs. after you see these movies then you will know what good kung fu moveis are, after reading the posts, i felt compelled to genreate this list so as to educate people on what good kung fu movies are
1) death chamber
2) shaolin vs wu tang
3) tai chi master
4) iron monkey
5) storm riders
6) shaolin vs ninja
7) enter the dragon
8) legend of the liquid swords
9) once upon a time in china
10) 5 deadly venoms
there are also many great movies, master killer, hero, i went back and read all the posts, most people on here have no clue that is pretty sad, that guy eraserhead knows what's up, when it comes to kung fu movies, anyone who refernces kung pow as a good movie is a idiot, if you think kung pow is a good kung fu movie, please watch the entire list i generated, and eraserheads list then you will know whats up.

I'm a big bruce lee fan and reckon that all 4 of his movies are champion
(Enter The Dragon, Way of the Dragon, The Big Boss and Fist Of Fury)
But im also a big Fan of Jet Li like his movie Kiss Of The Dragon.
The Returner is Also a pretty good movie though it more gun fighting
Yes this movie was so bloody and goary, i threw up once and im not much of a person to get grossed out. Yes homes, you gotta see this joint! This was made in hong Kong and rated NC-17 for its violence. Its rated R in the us because the fuggin dumbasses here edit shit. Stupid american censorship!
The Shaw Brothers "Venoms" films were many, as the main actors who portrayed the Venoms also starred in almost 20 other films sometimes alongside each other and other times as adversaries. The most well known is Kuo Chui (Lizard venom) who was also Mad Dog in Chow Yun Fat's "Hard Boiled". Mad Dog was the killer with the eye patch in the hospital.
Anyhow, while the Venoms films are mostly nonsense, the choreography was right on the mark. For serious film, Enter The Dragon was the big one. Bruce was at the top of his game and sadly died shortly after, but heleft us one HELL of a movie!
Enter the Dragon is by a far way better than any other martial arts movie IMO.
