Member inframan Posted August 4, 2010 Member Share Posted August 4, 2010 One thing I like about the old school flicks are the crazy ass wtf moments that pop up out of nowhere. Not something like Taoism Drunkard where the whole thing is crazy but when a scene just comes out of nowhere. Some of my favorites (without ruining the suprise): Warriors Two - when the Mantis master is revealed Mystery of Chessboxing - the final kill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Noelle Shadow Kick Posted August 5, 2010 Member Share Posted August 5, 2010 Haha my favorite example is in Ten Tigers of Kwangtung when the bad guy pulls out a weird golden women statue to fight with. It's uncovered like it's the ultimate weapon. Hilarious lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a WTF?! moment even though I've now seen it many times over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Yakuza954 Posted August 5, 2010 Member Share Posted August 5, 2010 lol this is actually something I was thinking about earlier. Some of my favorites: Leung Kar Yan eating Eddie Ko at the end of Thundering Mantis Sammo Hung giving it to his cheating wife at the end of Spooky Encounters Jack Long punching and subsequently blowing up the head of his dying henchman in Five Fighters from Shaolin Bruce Li snapping Philip Ko's head back 180 degrees at the end of The Iron Dragon Strikes Back Hwang In-Shik ripping the eagle in half at the end of Fistful of Talons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ZoSo Posted August 5, 2010 Member Share Posted August 5, 2010 Shaolin Master & the Kid is full of them, that why I love the movie... Two that come to mind in this flick... When the Hero is taking a raft across the river, and the water explodes and the Hero takes 2 giant leaps bouncing off the surface of the water and then up a 100+ foot cliff... Also in one scene the Hero is attacked by an eagle, and he waves his sword up in the air, and a roasted chicken flops onto the floor. Gotta love this movie!!

Member niro Posted August 5, 2010 Member Share Posted August 5, 2010 Theres quite a few (for me anyway), but i cant remember exactly. It's usually scenes where guy is killed and you wonder how is he dead. Dragon on Fire - final scene, Dragon Lee i think is running to help his brother who doesnt look like he needs it, they cut to Dragon Lee sprinting down the hill to reach the fight and his brother is somehow dead lool when 10 seconds ago he was kickin ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted August 5, 2010 Member Share Posted August 5, 2010 Ninja: The Final Duel - I know this film has plenty but I have to mentioned the nude fight. I recall watching it and thinking, "She's going to have to put clothes on, right? Right? Oh...there's her vagina. Best fight ever." Mad Monkey Kung Fu - The killing of the monkey is a little odd, especially as we're not used to seeing such brutality on western screens.

Yes. I found that wholly unpleasant and marred the film a tad for me. Most of Drunken Dragon had me flabbergasted. The owl camera and the guy in the boat on wheels in particular.

Member inframan Posted August 6, 2010 Author Member Share Posted August 6, 2010 I was about to say some of you guys are giving too much away but I see someone added "contains spoilers". I figured Thundering Mantis would make the list based on Mark's hints in his review, I'll be checking that and a few other suggetions out soon. I think there are a couple wtf's in end of Kid with the Golden Arm, put that one on the list too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Sam Seed Posted August 6, 2010 Member Share Posted August 6, 2010 I was very young when I saw this (about 4 years old), so I might not be remembering it right... It was set in what may have been a dojo/kung fu school. There were a bunch of martial artists standing in a row, and another martial artist standing in front or them. The man in front goes to one of the students and just punches him in the eye. They then show an extreme close-up of the guy's eye socket! His eye was gone! I have no idea that movie that was.

Member VenomsFan Posted August 7, 2010 Member Share Posted August 7, 2010 LMAO the ending in Killer Army. Even in the extended cut I was like WTF?! The fight has awesome ma choreography - still unrivaled decades later. Then all of a sudden Chiang Sheng jumps in the air, gets, er, um stabbed and flips like a 780 front-flip catapult style. Then a shot of 4 big green ass olive vegetables bused open by the 3 sectioned staff spurting out with blood. Next shot - everyone is layed out on the floor dead. LMAO I was like WTF?!? Everytime.

Member kungfusamurai Posted August 8, 2010 Member Share Posted August 8, 2010 The name of the movie totally escapes me right now. It's a Bruce Liang one where he's in a place where they have weird characters like Popeye, iirc. At the end, his character gets tossed in the air, then you see some f*(*&ed up mannequin floating along some cliffs. It was bizarre.
