    Everybody was Kung-Fu fighting! (Martial Arts Movie Thread)

    Was looking through my vast assortment (just a few) of .gifs and got a craving for Kung-Fu movies. Anyone have any that they can recommend?

    - Bruce Lee movies are a given so don't even bother posting those.
    - I've seen most of the Jackie Chan stuff although I should probably watch some of them again.
    - If it wasn't for me living with a guy from Thailand, my ignorant-ass would've never discovered Tony Jaa and Ong Bak.
    - Kung Pow should be watched on principle if you're a fan of this genre because it's actually pretty funny.
    - I know Jet Li made some good stuff but I'm pretty sure I haven't seen all of them. Prefer his older stuff though not the newer shit he was unfortunate enough to be in. He performed well but the roles he played were retarded.
    - Last one I saw was Ip Man 2 which was a badass movie aside from the silly cliche ending.

    Any responses are greatly appreciated and maybe this thread will turn into something awesome.

    Ip Man is my current favorite, Legend of the Iron Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen, 13 Assassins, Ninja Assassin isn't bad. Once Upon a Time in China pt. 2, Fearless. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is probably my all time favorite.

    - fong sai yuk, my favourite one from jet li aside fist of legend, back in his glory days.
    - iron monkey, if you know donnie yen only from ip man.
    - a chinese ghost story 1-3, if you don't mind fantasy/horror elements.
    - the heroic trio and executioners, which are a chinese version of charlie's angels with michelle yeoh, anita mui and maggie cheung. i can't remember if they were good or so bad to make them good again.
    - versus, if you don't mind gore. it's not my taste but it had a couple friends of mine raving about it on release.

    i've seen tons of 80's kung-fu movies but i can't remember their titles and going by plot description doesn't really help lol.

    Michelle Yeoh is fantastic. I really want to watch the movie Wing Chun with her and Donnie Yen. The Man From Nowhere has some kung Fu elements to it but also a lot of shooting.

    The original Chen Zhen TV series were seriously badass, if you manage to find it, it will be worth your while. Donnie Yen playing Chen Zhen of course.
