SMK Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Being as I have not seen ALL, or even close to the majority of the old school films out there, this is my TOP 10 list thus far. This list may change after I view more movies over time. *Excluding Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest films. This list is in no particular order. I will list the movie title, then some key elements of why I think the movie is a TOP film. Shaolin vs Lama Great action / Decent humor Return of the Deadly Blade Dubbing, great lines / Great characters / Good story / Top Cast The Loot Superb Action / Good humor The Invincible Armour Silver Fox / Good story / Top Kickers / Great Western soundtrack The Unbeaten 28 Great classic story / Training / Various obstacles The 7 Grandmasters Top action / Tons of fights Master of the Flying Guillotine Great characters / Classic weapon Heroes of the Wild Good story / Great action / Top Cast The Mystery of Chess Boxing Great characters / Top action The Hot, The Cool and the Vicious Great story / Great action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Yang Wu Liang Posted January 12, 2011 Member Share Posted January 12, 2011 Always a difficult proposition to come up with a top 10 but here's mine. These are only 'traditional kung fu' though, I took the swordplay ones out to save for their own top 10! 1. Ninja Hunter 2. Shaolin Temple Against Lama 3. Kung Fu Zombie and in no particular order - Massacre Survivor Mystery Of Chess Boxing Seven Grandmasters Two Wondrous Tigers Incredible Kung Fu Mission Woman Avenger The Victim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted January 18, 2011 Member Share Posted January 18, 2011 This list could look a lot different next week, but these are my top 10 for right now non Shaw/GH. ... Actually, after spending about an hour making my list, I decided to leave out Seasonal Films also since their movies are taking up half of my list (Legend of a Fighter, Drunken Master, Dance of Drunk Mantis, Snake In Eagle’s Shadow and Ninja in Dragon’s Den). Shaolin vs Lama 7 Grandmasters Rebellious Reign One Armed Boxer Little Superman Five Fighters from Shaolin Mystery of Chessboxing Buddha’s Palm and Dragon Fist Undaunted Wudang My Life’s is on the Line Edit (again!)- This is really bugging me. I’m not good at these lists because I’m not good at making choices. I’m gonna have to list another 10 just to make myself feel better Shanghai 13 Death Duel of Kung Fu Sleeping Fist Daggers 8 Master and the Kid Dirty Tiger Crazy Frog Iron Dragon Strikes Back The Challenger Kung Fu Headcrusher aka Tough Guy Tiger Over Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bit surprised not to see The Loot. Just curious, have you seen this movie, and if so, what did you think of it? HAHA, I am not trying to force any of my choices on anyone, I am genuinely curious about this. I actually would like to change 1 movie on my Top 10, I so regretfully forgot to put The Victim on there. This movie so deserves a spot on my Top 10. I may edit mine after some more thought on this.

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted January 18, 2011 Member Share Posted January 18, 2011 If I was to make a top 25 list (which is actually what I did ), The Loot would be one of the movies I'd be struggling to decide if it makes the cut. The Victim would make the top 25 cut no doubt. But for my last 10 choices, I chose movies I didn't see selected yet. There's still so many I want to list! but after listing 25 I will finally be able stop thinking about what my top 10 is. My brain wouldn't let me list just 10, and I have to do what it says otherwise it will torture me. BTW if you haven't seen The Challenger check it out. I like it a tad more than The Loot, and it has pretty much the same cast, and the same director and producer. The final fight made me lose my vision for a couple days. So do yourself a favor and remember to blink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
