Member luckystars Posted July 23, 2011 Member Share Posted July 23, 2011 Just some of the top My Young Auntie <----- very fun/funny. Superb action. Skinny Tiger / Fatty Dragon <--- blends brutal action and black comedy really well Naughty Boys <------ Silly humour, massive stunts Inspector Wears Skrts <------- Great action and fun spirited comedy The Champions <----- Jaw dropping Kung Fu/acrobatics, and soccer! A nice comedy too. And a personal favourite, no matter what people think Don't Give A Damn <------- Off the hook slapstick comedy/action (doesn't care who it offends) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member massa_yoda Posted July 23, 2011 Member Share Posted July 23, 2011 Shanghai Express -- My friends didn't like this one, but I love it. My Lucky Stars -- Just a perfect Action Comedy, hilarious and with great action. Winners and Sinners -- Also very funny with a good finale. Return to 36th Chamber -- Can watch over and over again. Sometimes these films go too over the top though. In regards to City Hunter, it's just too goofy for me, even though there's good action here. I've tried to like this one, but I just can't.

Member dog8food Posted August 1, 2011 Author Member Share Posted August 1, 2011 What about comedy stars? Of course Jackie Chan and Sammo are up there, but others that give me a good chuckle are Stephen Chow, Bryan Leung Kar Yan, Dicky Cheung, Fu Sheng. . Sometimes these films go too over the top though. In regards to City Hunter, it's just too goofy for me, even though there's good action here. I've tried to like this one, but I just can't. I know what you mean. I went through a stint where I couldn't stand the extreme slapstick, but then it slowly grew on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member 66 Mantis Posted August 1, 2011 Member Share Posted August 1, 2011 Aces Go Places 2 and Dragons Forever are my favorites. When I think of 80s Hong Kong action comedies, those are always the two that come to mind. I think both are perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member blue_skies Posted August 1, 2011 Member Share Posted August 1, 2011 Contour – low-budget, top action and tons of laughs. I'll second Skinny Tiger, Fatty Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member massa_yoda Posted August 4, 2011 Member Share Posted August 4, 2011 Go to the Stunt People's website. You can check out their other stuff, too. I did. And I purchased Contour. I loved it! I just wish it could've been a little higher quality (for the sake of the amazing fights), but I know there was nothing they could do about that.

I encourage you to get the rest of their stuff. The only other problem you'll have is that they're too short. Would've been sweet if they'd stretched a couple of them out another 30 mins. I would add their movie Undercut to this category. It's corny as all get-out but you can't help but laugh in places. Great choreography, too!

Member dog8food Posted August 19, 2011 Author Member Share Posted August 19, 2011 Contour – low-budget, top action and tons of laughs. I'll second Skinny Tiger, Fatty Dragon. Still trying to find Skinny Tiger, but I did watch Sammo's "Odd Couple" and it had me rolling! And before that I watched a movie he directed "The Victim" and it thoroughly tickled my funny bone as well... not to spoil anything, but there's a Chinese bath house fighting scene in it! Rediculous!

For comedy, I'd say Skinny Tiger is better than both those films. The Victim is an undeniable classic though fights wise, Odd Couple I was never a real fan of, Mars really creeps me out in that film for some reason.
