[RussfromNH]

Too many flicks that were amazing probably easier to list favorite actors
Bruce Lee
Jackie Chan
Chuck Norris
Jean Claude VD
Toahiro Minufe
Michelle Yeoh
Cynthea Rothrock
Segal
Jet Li
David Carradine
Jim Kelly
Steven Chow
Even Gene Lebell was in a lot of ma movies
Way too many over the years to list

The 60’s were amazing with all the kung fu movies Most were B rated flicks until maybe the 70’s
The Kung Fu series on the tv was something to look forward to every week
people like Keanu Reeves he was not from a ma back ground like most but learned everything he needed to for the role
Now ppl like Jason Statham Wesley Snipes Chow Yun Fat and so many others pushed MA flicks out of the B rated movies

Is that the one where the guy invents "iron vest kung fu" in an attempt to fight against the new musket toting imperial forces? I may be thinking of the wrong one here.


Yeah his girlfriend May, when he tries to stop her leaving and ends up lifting the back wheel off the ground while she revs up. When she demands he let go, he does, and the moped wheelies out from under her whilst he tries to stop the inevitable disaster lol.

I remember the scene.

Wong fei Hong is a character in it. Just a kid in this one. I liked with the Hong Kong movies that he appears as shit loads of different people. I never figured out why and don't want to cheat now and look it up. Had his own theme tune accross the cinema verse.

Jackie Chan's 80s / early 90s movies were awesome.

There was a group of us who would gather most Fridays and grab something from the local video library. Not Blockbuster, this was a small independent shop run by a guy who had an encyclopedic knowledge of movies.

He once recommended one of Jackie Chan's movies, and from there we binged his entire collection.

Just checked Jackie's filmography, we watched:

Drunken Master
Dragon Fist
The Big Brawl
Project A
Wheels on Meals
Police Story
Armour of God
Project A 2
Police Story 2
Armour of God 2: Operation Condor
Police Story 3: Supercop
Twin Dragons

The Police Story trilogy and Armour of God series were the pick of the bunch.

I haven't seen any of these. Which one should I start with?

If you like Jackie Chan, he's still going. Watched this with the wife today and she loved it.

I'd say Police Story is a good starting point, tough to go wrong with any of them though.

I agree
