Ok,
Having watched IP Man and IP Man 2, some rather good Martial Arts etc,
how about listing the top Martial Arts films.
Not really knowing much about the Hong Kong and Chinese Cinema, the top ones on my list are
The Kingdom
Ong Bak
Bloodsport
IP Man
Drunken Master
Enter the Dragon
The Octagon
Lets list some others
Chuck Norris in Lone Wolf McQuaid
Does Scott Pilgrim vs the world count?
House of Flying Daggers
Ongbak as said, and if you can ignore some even dafter story line then Ongbak 2 & 3 offer some really impressive scenes.
Snake in Eagle's Shadow
Ip man 2
Chen Zhen, legend of the fist
Prodigal son
Fist of legend
Way of the Dragon
Drunken Master
Police story 1, 2 and 3.
Project A
Armour of god
Enter the dragon
One bak
Warrior king
IP Man 2 is Epic, just didn't think it was as good as the first.
The early commercial Jackie Chan films weren't as good as the Protector IMHO...
Any Steven Seagal Movies to add to the list? He is a bit fat now lol
prodigal son if you want a really good one. (for once, the dub is the one to watch purely for the old kung fu film feel)
way of the dragon is bruce lee's best imo.
house of flying daggers is good for a modern film - though too many modern chinese films are trying to do the 'glory day' thing and taking it too seriously - hero, crouching tiger, curse of the golden flower etc and it gets a bit OTT.
I don't think I've watched a really modern martial arts film and been really impressed, it's all a much of a muchness for the reasons above.

Is Fong Sai Yuk the one where they accidently paralyse a chicken in the middle of a fight?
I saw it many many years ago, and it was awesome then.
