Worst old-school kung fu films starring good people

[WaverBoy]

Here's two seriously lame clunkers to start it all off:

NEW FIST OF FURY with Jackie

LONE SHAOLIN AVENGER with Casanova Wong

For the most obsessive completists only...

For NFOF, don't forget Han Ying Chieh, Chen Sing, and Nora Miao. Good lord, Bruce Li/Ho Chung Tao's unofficial "Fist of Fury Part II" was far superior.

Flash Future Kung Fu - Johnny Wang Lung Wei, Eddie Ko.

Chess Boxing Matrix- Mark Long

A few of Alexander Lo's later films. Including Ninja in the USA which also starred Chang Shan and Chiang Shen.

Filthy Guy - Sammo and Carter.

Dynasty wasn't a very good showcase for Tan Tao-Liang. Although I hear even worse things about Story in Temple Red Lily and General Stone.

That's disappointing because I was looking forward to it on the strength of these photos.

Coward Bastard and Fighting Fool. Meng Yuen Man deserved better than this. He, Yuen Wah and most of the casts for both delivered, but the films are utter shit. Thankfully he was used the right way in Hell's Wind Stafff, Daggers 8 and The Master Strikes. I guess an early, non-fatal heart attack put a stop to his career.

I remember seeing a youtube clip of one of Yuen Wah's fights and thinking that it was a must see. I always wanted to see Yuen Wah in an old school film as a lead or main character. Halfway through watching it I realised that this is one of the worst Shaw Bros films that id ever seen.....

I had a similar experience when watching Lion vs. Lion.

The fight scenes in the second half were excellent, but the finale was a disappointment and first half waskind of a slog.
