[Shawoholic]

I am not into making list but give my opinion instead of your list hot or not.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon NOT, Romeo Must Die NOT, Shanghai Noon NOT!!!!!!

Shaolin Soccer NOT, Kiss of the Dragon HOT, Rush Hour 2 NOT

Hero HOT, Blade II NOT

Ong Bak HOT, Shanghai Knights NOT, Kill Bill: Vol. 1 HOT

Kung Fu Hustle HOT, House of Flying Daggers HOT, New Police Story HOT

Tom-Yum-Goong HOT, SPL HOT

FearlessHOT, Dragon Tiger Gate NOT EVEN MIDLY HOT GARBAGE, Curse of the Golden Flower NOT

Chocolate HOT

Kiss of the dragon is maybe best Jet Li he has made outside of china/hk.

[Guest Yi-Long]

In 2008 one of the best kung fu movies was absolutely Kung Fu Panda.

[lillippa328]

this year for me was True Legend, Bodyguards and Assassins, and Ip Man 2

[Drunken Monk]

My top three would probably be...

Reign of Assassins

Tom Yum Goong

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

This is based solely on my first watching of each film. For examle, "Tom Yum Goong" blew my mind upon the first watch but has now lost its novelty. Other films I may love now but they took a while to grow on me...like "Fearless."

Top 3 of the decade- Hero, Shaolin Soccer, Undisputed 2

[Charuto]

I'm awful at these unless I have a list of movies to choose from. Maybe if the review section at this site was sortable...

[Guest Yi-Long]

Not sure if it qualifies as 'martial arts' (pretty sure it doesn't actually), but Mongol also deserves a mention. Great biopic with stunning acting, sights and sounds.

[OpiumKungFuCracker]

The only ones that I can remember that stands out are Red Cliff parts 1 and 2, Ip Man parts 1 and 2, Fearless, Hero, Ong Bak, District 13, and ultimatum, Merantau...

[andy338]

I particularly like Ong Bak, Ong Bak 2, Tom Yum Goong, Unleashed (Danny the Dog), SPL, Fatal Contact, Kiss of the Dragon, Undisputed 2 & 3, Ip Man & Flashpoint.

[blue_skies]

We already did a read of our top martial-arts films of the decade last year/early this year. Maybe someone can dig it up?

My top martial-arts movies of this year would have to be...

Broken Path (which I included as part of my best of the last decade)

Bangkok Adrenaline

Merantau

And possibly Ong Bak 3 which I haven't seen yet.
