Thanks! I never heard of Blade of Fury. What is that about?
There is some other Shaw Brothers movies in particular that I like, but I just can't remember their names.
Others I can think of putting up there are:
Fist of Legends
Swordsman II

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
the most violent kung fu movie of all time
The Story of Ricky
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!

5 deadly venoms,
YES! Another Venoms fan. 😄
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!
