Kung Fu Movies!

When I was stationed in the Philippines,long before most of you were born , Kung-Fu movies were a staple of entertainment.

Once my ex-wife and myself saw this Kung-Fu movie named in English.."A Girl named Tiger"..what a bloodbath. This was in '75 or '76. I cannot find a clip of the film.

A gif, not sure can work or not.

Edit:

No, it's not working. Basicly, someone using nunchakus to play Ping Pang and won.

The best Kung Fu movie is always Bruce Lee, my favorite is Enter the Dragon. Very classic movie

Please note Bruce Lee' movies had no special effects or stunt men, Bruce Lee did it all

Another my favorite classic movies The Drunken Master and The Shaolin Temple

Modern Movies

1st. Hero (Jet Li)
2nd. Once Upon a Time in China (3 series), also Jet Li
3rd. Red Cliff (not fully Kung Fu)
4th. IP Man

The Drunken Master..I may have seen that. Was that the one where a man was a guardian of the wine in Buddha heaven and drank so much wine when he had to pee he peed in an empty wine jug. Then one day he accidentally served the pee to Buddha(I think) and was sent back to Earth to prove himself???. Any way I saw a movie like that and it was hilarious.

I thought "The Drunken Master" was one of the most iconic films that Jackie Chan made.

I just rewatched Huang Feihong 2 (Once Upon a Time in China) on Tudou the other day, and damn that movie was awesome. The plot was tight, the romance and the humor was just right and the fight scenes were top notch. It even had Zhang Tieling as Sun Yat-Sen. I was like, WTF???

I don't remember Jackie Chan acted in a movie with that storyline. The one you saw was probably another movie.

Overall, I think Jackie Chan's movies are most entertaining for Kung fu, because there is enough humor to punctuate the action. One of my favorites is "Wheels on Meals". "Project A" and "Project A II" are both excellent, as well as "Operation Condor" and "Legend of Drunken Master" as previously mentioned. Other classic Kung fu flicks I think are "Master of the Flying Guillotine", "Iron Monkey", "The Tai-Chi Master".

No Popeye, not that one and I am sure you have watch the one I meant

Drunken Master - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

very entertaining classic Kung Fu movie by Chen Leung ... after the movie he became a mega Kung Fu star ... ohh well ... Jackie Chen was helped by the death of Bruce Lee ... if Bruce Lee was alive ... no way Jackie Chen could become a mega star

Sorry, No I have not.. I've not seen a Kung-Fu movie since I left the Philippines. That was in 1977.

Oh I don't know about that. Jackie Chan has a different style from that of Bruce Lee. He acts the clown precisely so that people will not take him for another Bruce Lee clone.

I think the main difference between Bruce and Jackie is that Bruce tried to show his real Kung Fu and Jackie add a lot of special effects into his actions and the aim is to entertain his audiences.

But Bruce's movies were in the 70s while Jackie's are in the 21st centuries. If you watch Jackie's movies by the time Bruce was still alive, it is just like watching a child acting Kung Fu compare to a Kung Fu master. Bruce was really great but Jackie is great.

100% agree ... there is no comparison between the two, Bruce Lee was way greater :-)

The Man from Nowhere is my favorite kung fu movies today. I'm still for Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa as my kung fu action heroes.
