For me hands down Jackie Chan, Im sure many others would choose the same.
But maybe some of you with more interesting and refined tastes can chime in too.
You can only choose one MA actor to watch movies from, whos it gonna be?
Maybe some of yet are Donnie or Jet guys? Maybe Sammo or Sony Chiba or more interestingly some Shaw actor.
Some Shaw actor is arguably the superior choice, even if Ive never been particularly the biggest Shaw enthusiast or viewer myself.
Who you guys got? Jackie, am I right lol?
I used to have a VHS with an old Kung Fu movie (1970 or 1980s...not too sure) and I cannot remember the title...
The only thing that I remember, since it was a German-dubbed movie, was one of the main characters was named Marschall Amu...
I have very foggy memory about the plot... There was two or three people with long hairs (one was dressed in light blue) fighting against an army...
I know that it doesn't contains a lot of details, but can you please help me find this movie?
Thanks!!

You really can’t go wrong with this film. Great fights, great cast. My biggest problem (with this version that I have) is the awful English dubbing, with voices I’ve never heard. This versions sounds like a bunch of college kids tried to dub a film. Is there an original English dub available somewhere?
Just did a blind buy of this for the Criterion Sale going on at Barnes and Noble. Anybody seent these?
It is at night and there is a fence behind the crowd
I'm a sucker for these and am looking for more. I know all the King Hu films and the Dragon Inn remakes. I know there are more. Hit me with em!
My husband watched a hilarious old Kungfu movie, we reference often, but we no longer remember the title.
What I remember/understood from the film, it was about a monk teaching a young boy. There was a fraud monk (or maybe he was just a bad monk) who went to this wealthy families home in place of the good monk.
The wealthy family was shocked by the way the monk acted, flirting with the women, and eating meat etc.
That's really all I can recall, but we've been looking for that for years.
I saw a clip on here or YouTube. These asian women were fighting in like a warehouse or a factory. One of the girls gets slammed into one of the pipes which burst open. They finally fight to an end and the villain lady is on the ground appears to be dead. She pulls a fake and is actually still alive and rushes to kill her opponent with a weapon from behind but is shot by these cops that show up just in time from the upper rung area.
What is the highest quality release of this film? Ive watched 20 minutes of it on youtube and it is so good that Id rather find a higher quality to watch…
Has it been released on blu-ray with the english dub?
It is focused on Asian movies like Karate for Life and Champion Of Death: https://gamerant.com/best-karate-movies-imdb/
Of intrest, so I just thought i'd put the link here. https://screenrant.com/martial-arts-movies-great-stories-excellent-action/
Not really, was hoping a bit more of the fancy moves of Tony Jaa, also the final fight with Xing Yu could have been longer and a bit better but it was fine enough as a final fight. At least Jaa is back in form (of course he's older now so we can't expect Ong Bak mode here) but this movie puts him back on the map and proofs he's still relevant with his trade mark hard hits and power moves.
I also liked the motorbike action scene. Movie has some good cinematography only some cases of obvious green screen especially in the truck scene.
The movie (as most web movies is influenced by other movies in this case by Extraction at times this obvious in the plot) but it was all entertaining and movie has Jaa speaking in English (while most of the cast peaks in Chinese movie comes with Eng subs also)
Overall entertaining action movie, worth the watch.
Hey I have an odd request, I lately have been into the Mr. Vampire movies with lam Ching ying. They are awesome and ton of fun, though the last couple I have had a hard time tracking down, I thought I would ask if anyone could point me in a direction where I could watch the 1992 Mr. Vampire and “the ultimate vampire 1991”. Also putting in a plug if you haven’t seen them 10/10 silly kung fu comedies.
Trying to find if this is from a movie. The song is “Qi Gong” by Stic
“the traditional learning method of qi gong is from a master, a teacher who has experienced in part the subtleties of their unique system and learned the ways of the warrior”
It could also be just from an old educational film about qi gong. I’ve tried to also use chatgpt to help and have gotten nowhere.
This is my ranking of Scott Adkins film. Note I need a distraction so I'll probably post one of these list every other day or so.

Heroes of the Wild is my first choice. An all star cast with great chemistry and great fights. And I’m stuck with a full screen version.
Battle of Shaolin next. Made by the same lady who directed The Master Strikes. First of all, change the title because Shaolin doesn’t even get mentioned in the movie. Nice joke. A great flick with an explosive ending. The print here is wide but not nearly as good looking as Boxer’s Adventure and Crash’s Pagoda series. None of these are anamorphic. And Battle of Shaolin cuts out some violence that ruins it a bit. Desperately in need of an upgrade.
I also wanted to mention The Sword. This one is almost anamorphic. It goes across the screen about 80% of the way. It’s an acceptable release and I recommend picking it up while it’s still cheap. But the picture is rough and the burned in subs are hard to read. It’s well deserving of a good looking version with a couple special features.
did anyone save/screen capture any of their online screenings of shaolin vs lama, mystery of chessboxing, shaolin vs wutang all restored from original 35mm prints? i notice they have deleted all their channel along with the trailers they had for each
It was a movie about two brothers, one controlled water and the other Im not so sure about. Maybe lightning? Towards the end of the movie, the brother that could control water ended up using some of his blood to defeat the big bad, who I'm pretty sure was a woman. I think before fighting her, they fought each other. I swear I'm going crazy cuz I've been trying to find this movie for YEARS!
