What are some of the best kung-fu/swordplay movies?

[CoanBread751]

Duel To The Death
Iron Monkey
Hero
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Seven Samurai
Swordsman 2
Five Deadly Venoms
Once upon A Time In Chine set
Streetfighter
Drunken Master
Enter The Dragon
The Storm Riders
The Chinese Connection
Fists Of Fury
Game Of Death
Return Of The Dragon


These are just a few.

All of the movies above!

First of legend!!!!

Fong say yuk (or something like that) I and II

and many more. You can find alot of them on www.hkflix.com

[SamuraiiSam]

Drunken Master. A classic. Jackie Chan was more pimp when he was doing real kung fu.

I would add Master of the Flying Guillotine and a very obscure Jimmy Wang Yu film called The Screaming Tiger.

[Pwnst1k]

Those should keep me busy, thanks guys.

[Boy Wonder '04]

Hey, I just finished watching seven samurai for the first time last night. It was so f.ucking cool! Kurosawa kicks ass!
He's a decendant of the Samurai himself so what would you expect!

[The_PBCer]

shogun assasin had some sick **** in it.

Hero - How Swift Thy Sword - F****** awesome and beautiful movie.

[Klimber]

The Perfect Weapon
Romeo Must Die
No Retreat No Surrender

Ok Ok I like bad american martial arts.

[Zombie Hunter]

I agree with Hero all the way. Very well made film, I was fortunate enough to finally get a hold of my own copy a few weeks ago.

[Inval1d]

Versus - Violent, Bloody, And very very strange but cool.

[Pwnst1k]

What about...'Ran' am I wrong? Am I wrong?

yeah, and i thought i'm the only one who has seen it. i loved VERSUS.
cool zombie flick with great swordplay. whole movie is in a forrest :D this movie is so ****ing special, i love it and Tak Sakaguchi is just awesome *head-pick with pistol* LOOOOL

[Se7en the movie]

whats versus about? i was gonna buy it but it 30 euro and for something i havent seen yet, thats too expensive

[MovieFreak322]

Even though it is a comedy, Kung Pow: Enter The Fist is really good.

[Tyranic_Lord]

Versus sucked. It had no plot, just some gang members killing eachother in the forest for no reason. I dont really know much about Kung Fu films, but if you are looking for tru wuxia films(swordplay) I would recommend the following:

CTHD
The international award winner. Everyone has seen this but in my opinion it's the best wuxia film ever made. Thank you Ang Lee!
Hero
The most recent wuxia film and the most popular, Hero takes the 2nd spot as the most beatifully wuxia film ever. Ching Siu Tung is truly a God when it comes to wire fu action.
Duel to the Death
Ching Siu Tung's debut into the world of swordplay came with this nice chinese versus japanese flick featuring cool flying sequences and ninja action.
Tai Chi Master
One of Yuen Woo Ping's best choreagraphed film! If you liked the fighting in Matrix and Kill Bill you're gonna love it in this cool Jet Li film
Fist of Legend
This movie is praised as one of Jet Li's best! If you're not much into Wire Fu action, then this is what you seek.
Fong Sai Yuk films
If you're looking for comedy and action I recommend these.

These are just some of the best swordplay films ever made. The newest wuxia film released was House of FLying Dragons. Supposedly its better than Hero so it may take the number 1 spot. :D

[Optimus Magnus]

While not strictly Kung Fu, The Killing Machine with Sonny Chiba is pretty good, got an okay plot to go with the martial arts action too.

[Tara]

Can Kill Bill be counted?

[JackBauer]

no.

[JackBauer]

:D j/k

[Boy Wonder '04]

Has anyone got any news on hero. Is it cool. I heard its been rated by Tarantino.

[Garnet Spring]

^^Tarintino does nothing but have his name stamped on the movie as "presented by..."

[Boy Wonder '04]

Does anyone like Seven Sanurai. So cool! Can anyone tell me any other good Kurosawa movies other than Throne of Blood, Seven Samurai and Ran?

[Hitman]

When I saw Kill Bill Vol. 2 they showed the previews for Hero starring Jet Li. Are some of you guys talking about the same movie cuz I thought this one was going to theaters 1st...

Hero came out in Asia a long time ago and is now on DVD. I got my import copy from Ebay. It's just now being introduced to US audiences. I don't know why it took so long though.

[Inval1d]

Versus was made just to show gore and swordplay. who cares about the silly plot.

It's more of like a little comedy/horror/action movie.

Guy - "Why do you want the girl?"
Other Guy - "Because i'm a feminist"

Oh okay thanks. I was curious about that.

Even sword fights and gore were cheesy. I've seen better ameteur horror movies. I know the director was going for certain style but I think he failed miserably. The movie is way too long and drags out.

Not only asia. It has been on Big screen in Europe, and it has been out on DVD for over a year here....

Musa: The Warrior

[Garnet Spring]

Good one. I absolutely loved Musa 9.5/10. Wonderful.

[Andrey83]

Also, Bangrajan is very good i think.

One of the best Thai movies imo.
