Enter the Dragon wins handily for both its campy 70's nonsense and Bruce Lee's kinetic screen presence.

it's 70's value is truly amazing & what a dirty funk soundtrack.. You just can't beat the classic lines either "you come right out of a comic book" & the immortal "Bulls*^t, Mr Han man". I still use that line to this day.

Anything with Jet Li, Bruce Lee, Van Damme or the Chineese movies.
The Last Samurai
Do the 007 movies count? If so, all of them with all actors.
Zatouichi (not sure if its Japaneese or Chineese)


Tell you the truth if you show me any martial arts movie ill probably like it.

Forbidden Kingdom. I dunno, it just made me feel happy watching it.
Funnily enough I have just rented that from B'Buster, am just waiting for my girlfriend to get home so we can watch it. On a seperate note, how does Jackie Chan look like he is still in his early 40's?

Unless he somehow uses hair dye to dye his face, somehow making him look a lot younger than he should at 60ish then I don't think hair dye is the answer.

If they do you better add some John Woo movies.
Sorry but no 007 movies don't count. Bourne might count but then again they should really have at least one actual Martial Artist in them to count. Sorry to be an arse about it :"(

Legend of Drunken Master is one of my personal favorites.

I also love The Protector for it's fight scenes, other than that it's stupid beyond all reason.

i would say Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is up there, and any Bruce Li, Jet Lee, or Jackie Chan movie would be too.
Toss up between Bloodsport and the first kickboxer (mostly for their awesome soundtracks and background music.)

Oh well... however one of the bond movies would count if you put it that way. Can't remember the name of it but he wound up dragged into a dojo.

You can have that one then. I can remember that one myself, it's going to bug me until I find out the name of the film.
