Finally, I can step out from the IFD/Filmark Ninjer Shadows and indulge my L-O-V-E for those wonderful Asso Asia collaborations between Jospeh Lai and Tomas Tang!

Still have a second copy of this to watch, hope the Millcreek version doesnt omit the nunachaku scene, like the old Hong Kong connection U.K release.

Couldn't think of a better thread if I tried @ThunderScore!

What did you think of it @DragonClaws? I offered up my thoughts on this one in the 'What Was the Last Classic Martial Arts Film You Watched?' thread back in '15 -

Thanks OAB! These films were really my gateway into the world of Martial Arts Movies. They were very accessible at the time. Here's another fondly remembered (at least by me) title:

IMO, the above card was the inspiration for the Luis Dominguez U.S. poster art of the Silverstein Films release of THE DRAGON'S SHOWDOWN:

It's been some years since I sat down and watched this one One Armed Boxer, recall it being an average Dragon Lee movie but nothing special.

It's one of my favorite Dragon Leee movies ThunderScore, the ending is probably Dragon Lee at his most bonkers. Up there wit the finales of Martial Monks Of Shaolin Temple and Five Pattern Dragon Claws. Martin Chui is on top form as the equally zany villian.

The guy who normally dubs Dragon Lee in the english language versions. Also narrates the the trialer you posted above.

MARTIAL MONKS

MM1a.thumb.jpg.c41c50c7d9ddbe4ad5895cf78303fdd8.jpg

The trailer voice over for MARTIAL MONKS OF SHAOLIN TEMPLE was awesome; every time he'd say the title, it'd crack me up -

THE DRAGON, THE HERO

This might be my favorite Asso Asia title of all time! First saw this on television in prime time (!) as DRAGON ON FIRE, love how the poster art morphs Dragon into Jackie Chan -

Here's an awesome German trailer from fellow member Spannick's YouTube Channel. The U.S. trailer had the incredible Adolph Ceasar doing the voice over:

Not sure which I rank higher, The Dragons Infernal Showdown or The Dragon The Hero?. I think TDTH just has the edge on TDIS, becuase of Chan Lua's crazy dog Kung Fu. Not to mention the presence of John Liu and Bolo Yueng too.

Eagle vs. Silver Fox was my first Asso Asia Film. Mario Chan is actually Kwak Mu-Seong.

WARRIORS OF KUNG FU is my all time favorite Casanova Wong Asso Asia titles! The Palm Beach Entertainment VHS cover is a little misleading... It makes it look like Casanova must "get her revenge"... I would speculate that this is probably the last VHS release of one of these titles in the States...

Another great title which was syndicated to TV by Almi Entertainment back in the day as TIGER CLAWS:

Technically not Asso Asia, these still qualify for inclusion since they're from the same era and the usual suspects are present:
