Is this one released by mediablasters? I do not have disc at home now but don`t recall anything so special, just good fights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not that I've seen all he has had) So true, Lau Kar Wing is wonderful. I wish he would have had more prominent roles / character variety (and not just cornering the market on playing older masters.) He was his usual amazingly amazing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's right in the middle of the film and, in my opinion, overshadows most of the other fights. It all depends on your preferred style though. While it's intricate and features amazing shapes, it doesn't quite have the speed or complexity of, say, a great Sammo fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted January 22, 2016 Member Share Posted January 22, 2016 Any time Lam Ching Ying goes toe to toe with Frankie Chan in "Prodigal Son" is gold too. A lot of people think the finale is a classic and, while it might be, I'll take some of the smaller fights in the film over it any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member paimeifist Posted January 22, 2016 Member Share Posted January 22, 2016 It is just the combination of both actors greatest strengths (IMO) used to great effect together. Jack Long's sublime flexibility and fluidity vs. Corey Yuens legendary weapons skill (both actors showed both traits tbh!). How close do you think they were to knocking each others teeth out when they were filming the scenes with the polearms? Man I love this fight.

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted January 22, 2016 Member Share Posted January 22, 2016 All of the fights in 7 Grandmasters have their moments of greatness, except maybe Jack Long vs Lee I Min which was not as good as it could have been, but the Corey Yuen fight I think is an easy pick for one of the best fights ever. No doubt about what you say paimeifist it had to be impossible to get all of those movements done perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Lady Jin Szu-Yi Posted January 24, 2016 Member Share Posted January 24, 2016 As far as a complete film, I forgot to mention Shanghai 13. Fight-wise there's good variety: serious weapons work, some O.T.T. moments of kung fu comedy and excellent acrobatics. Everyone shines and the fights escalate into more grand and elaborate set pieces as the film moves forward. I love that Lu Feng makes Leung Kar Yan and Andy Lau look so great. Ditto for Ricky Chien giving some excellent room for Ti Lung to strut his stuff bare-handed and with that pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted January 27, 2016 Member Share Posted January 27, 2016 In all seriousness: "How on earth can a person have only 'ONE' favorite fight scene." There are so many it impossible to choose. My fav is the one at hand in the movies I watch. That being said I really love the end of Bloody Treasury Fight GD Y-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member sym8 Posted November 6, 2018 Member Share Posted November 6, 2018 I couldn’t possibly say,there are so many different kind of fight scenes one v one Gordon Liu v Wang Lung Wei,Martial club one v many Bruce Lee v Japanese dojo,fist of fury,weapons based Gordon liu v Ko Fei 8 diagram pole fighter but if I HAD to choose it would be the finale of Warriors 2,great hands from Sammo, Fung hak on,and great legs from Casanova Wong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member NoKUNGFUforYU Posted November 7, 2018 Member Share Posted November 7, 2018 Hot Cool and Vicious jumped when I read this. Finale just stuck out, and then there is the fight at the end of Fist of Fury. I am talking old school, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it had turned into a more classical 1 on 1, were it would look like Jackie had a chance of losing, similar to his fight with Urquidez from the year before.

I often rewind this moment just to count the movements: Police Story 2 playground.mp4 It was suppose to say: "Stuntman Two: 1 reaction to hit" but it's missing "hit". As it took me awhile to edit together I can't be bothered to correct it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
