Currently watching 36th chamber of shaolin.
Might watch drunken master after.
Today has a Kung fu feel.
Oh this thread will never die by the way I watch too many Kung fu and martial arts movies

Rocky loves Emily Rocky lives Emily Rocky loves Emily3 Ninjas is also one that sticks out in my head
As a kid I watched the following repeatedly:
American Ninja.
No Retreat No Surrender.
Kickboxer.
Bloodsport.
My parents wouldn't let me watch 18's (R Rated movies) so I'd have to wait and wait until I could go to my Nan's house on school holidays and she'd rent them for me.
My Nan and Grandad fucking LOVED Bruce Lee too. I think I saw my first pair of tits at my Nan's house watching a BL film.
Very awkward.
"Don't tell your Ma we let you watch this"
Grandad just laughing his head off.

The Protector was called Tom Yum Gung in Thailand.
The comedy side kick in that and Ong Bak is a huge TV star here.

@I Wild Each It!
5 Shaolin Masters aka 5 Shaolin Killers was my first Shaw Brothers oldschool movie I recall seeing! I was 10 or 11 at the time. Great movie! Watched it at the now long-gone Music Palace theater in NYC Chinatown.
I am reposting what I posted to the 1970's movies thread:
The Way of the Dragon (1972)
This may be sacrilege, i think this is better than Enter the Dragon! Bruce starred, wrote the screenplay, martial arts choreographer, co-produced and directed! This, to me, is a good representation of his philosophy, of what he tried to teach, his JKD (Jeet Kune Do).
Heroes of the East (1978) aka Shaolin vs Ninja aka Shaolin Challenges Ninja
My most favorite Martial Arts movie - yes IMO even better than 36th Chamber of Shaolin aka Master Killer and Five Deadly Venoms. It's directed by the great Lau Kau Leung, no one dies in this, it was a big misunderstanding, showcased many many styles using the plot device of Chinese MA vs Japanese MA
Invincible Shaolin (1978) aka Unbeatable Dragon - my most fave "5 venoms" movie
Great training sequences featuring real CMA like WCK and Southern Praying Mantis - Lo Meng aka Lo Mang was a student of Chu Gar SPM - Lo Meng is better known as 'Toad'
I could go on and on.

@BirdWatcher did you watch the raid movies yet?
No man I actually forgot
I'm home in a week so I'll put it on my to do list. Thanks for the reminder
Song2 mentioned a Jet Li classic Hero and Stillmatic mentioned another - Fist of Legend.
Jet became a superstar after director Tsui Hark casted him as Wong Fei-hung in Once Upon a Time in China series.
Made 3 movies and they had a falling out is what i heard, Jet thought he didn't need Tsui and Tsui had the attitude something like, "I made you. I could make anyone else a star." Vincent Zhao took over the franchise for 4 and 5 and they kind of fizzled.
Perhaps the comics geek in me liked this more than i should've, another Jet Li movie - Black Mask:
i really could go on and on and on ... lol at me
