SMK Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 What are some of your favorite "kung fu movie styles", styles that aren't real, but made up for film. What's the name of the style and in which movie did it appear? One good one, would be the "Cosmic Palm Technique" from THE MAGNIFICENT BUTCHER (1979) another "Spider Fist", from CHALLENGE OF DEATH (1978).

Member BiggWill1988 Posted April 18, 2015 Member Share Posted April 18, 2015 Drunken Style has always been my personal favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Secret Executioner Posted April 19, 2015 Member Share Posted April 19, 2015 Drunken Style has always been my personal favorite Isn't it an ACTUAL style though ? My fav' styles tend to be the "invincible" ones like the Toad Style (Five Venoms) and the Iron Armour (Shaolin Martial Arts). Not sure why, but I find those pretty badass.

SMK Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Drunken Style is in fact a real style. I'm looking for some crazy, unorthodox, not realistic styles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Lady Jin Szu-Yi Posted July 19, 2015 Member Share Posted July 19, 2015 I am including weapons too: Tiger style (Shanghai 13) Hand to hand or butterfly sword, this fight style is one my favorites hands down. It looks real and dangerous. Iron Cross style (the Victim) I was a little disappointed when I discovered this style was not real. It is very impressive, intimidating and looks quite powerful. Centipede (Five Venoms) Deadly, ridiculously fast and fun to watch. The Guan Dao styles (Magnificent Ruffians) Lizard (Five Venoms): It's just fun. The Zombie of the West / Zombie Casters style and Xiao’s spear / sword style (Swordsman and Enchantress): I like the idea of a ‘death’ style and Xiao’s weapon use was pretty cool too. Deadly Broken Sword style: Crazy and suitable for an arrogant swordsman. UPDATE: Ditto with the halberd maneuvers for the Throat Piercing Halberd. Iron Palm (Brave Archer) films: Super villain over the top and I love it. It’s one of the reasons why I kept trying with the Brave Archer series because I always knew I’d be rewarded with some fun Lo Meng moves. Szu-Yi hook sword mantis style (Human Lanterns): Szu-Yi may not have been accurate, but I thought this was a very cool nod to Lo Meng’s mantis expertise. Between the hooks, the costume colors and the way Lo moves, he comes across like a human preying mantis. UPDATE: Bloody Devil's style - kicking, ripping and some nasty claw work. The dude is just mean. The Peter Pan-esque leaps of Little Bat and the Wandering Swordsman. Mantis a la Shaolin Mantis Whatever Wilson Tong is doing in The Victim final fight.

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted August 2, 2015 Member Share Posted August 2, 2015 Jackie Chan's Cat Style in Snake in the Eagle's Shadow was invented for the film. As much as I love that movie, that always bothered me. Not because I initially thought the style was real only to be disappointed on finding out it wasn't, but because an actual style could've been depicted, or he could have made up a better one.

Guest Anonymous Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I also love the Sleep Style and the Laughing/Smile Style from Buddha Assassinator that Hwang Jang Lee does. Especially when he switches style and is one moment laughing all crazy and funny then he is sleepy and sleepily throws strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible examples of exactly the kind of "styles" I was talking about. Great choices there WhiteDragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Incredible examples of exactly the kind of "styles" I was talking about. Great choices there WhiteDragon. Thanks. I really enjoy the fake kung fu styles for movies sometimes. Its hilarious. I forget which movie but I saw a Horse Style and a Duck Style before. I am not sure but I think Luen Kar Yen was in the one with the horse style and they even had the sound of a horse "neying." I love how when they do animal styles the sound of the animal comes out of nowhere. I personally WANT to believe these are all real ways of fighting. Have you seen Kung Fu Genius? I think that movie has some fake styles too but I am not sure. I know they have many styles he learns through manuals though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member panku Posted August 3, 2015 Member Share Posted August 3, 2015 Just finished rewatching The Proud Youth and Wong Yu uses Toilet Sword Style against Chan Wai Man where you sit on a rock and the first one who touches the ground loses. That also reminds me of the toilet style Sammo uses as a joke in Prodigal Son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 HA!! So it was Kung Fu genius I was thinking of an then I mentioned it later. LOL! That movie was awesome! And there was a part where they used the Rocky theme that was funny and it lasted for a bit then randomly turns off haha. I love how the duck style in this movie is shown like its normal. I feel like it was filmed to not be so comedic but to scare the guys and make them confused. I mean I think they knew it was funny but also make it look serious for a moment.

HAHAHA "The Sufferer!!!" That was so funny in Dirty Ho. That entire scene is so confusing to me and wacky. Its a huge trip! Also, I agree that Clan of the Whit Lotus's "women's" style like threading a needle was pretty rad. The strategy involved to defeat the iron armor and his light skills was awesome!

Member kokuryuha Posted August 16, 2015 Member Share Posted August 16, 2015 I have two that when I first saw them I thought that was the coolest thing since sliced bread.They were the cat's claw used by jackie chan in snake in the eagle's shadow and the crab style used by yasuaki kurata in heroes of the east.Honorable mentions go out to the centipede by lu feng,And the dragon fist the way Beardy did it from Two on the road aka Fearless dragons.He was roaring and everything like a real dragon!
