Member The Dragon Posted November 21, 2007 Member Share Posted November 21, 2007 ...in an Old School Kung Fu movie... What's your favorite training sequence for an old school flick? Mine happens to be Gordon Liu in The 36th Chamber of Shaolin. The film happens to be 3pts. training, and the viewer has concern for the character as San Te works his way through the trials... Another of mine is 18 Bronzemen. Carter Wong and Tien Peng really get their arses handed to them in the Bronzemen Chambers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest will91XingYu Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 For me it's the training in Knockabout, great forms by Yuen Biao and the bit with the rope is so coooooool! Also has good humour in it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Morgoth Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Dammit Dragon, i wanted to list 36th Chamber. My other favorites are- Ninja death part 1 Unbeaten 28 Snake deadly Act (lobster style) Rocky 4 Kung Fu Zombie Invincible Shaolin Shaolin Martial Arts Mad Monkey Kung Fu Crippled Avengers Those are all I can think of right now.

Guest Endsang Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hehe, just thought about making a thread like this. Let's see what isn't mentioned yet.. - 8 Diagram Pole Fighter, not that much training, but the final "test" is breathtaking - 5 Shaolin Masters, Chi Kuan Chun, Chi Kuan Chun, Chi Kuan Chun. - Shaolin Temple (1976), mainly for Ti Lung's wing chun form. Bruce Tong's training was also interesting. - Drunken Master, Yuen Siu Tien-masochism and Jackie Chan-whimpering. - Dance of the Drunk Mantis; Catch the bean curd! Suppose I also have to mention laundry fu in Dreadnaught, and Gordon Liu trying to learn drunken boxing in Heroes of the East. All time favorites have to be Mad Monkey Kung Fu and Knockabout as mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WalkOn Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Master Killer has to be the top. The entire movie is basically all training and it's wonderfully done! Mad Monkey Kung Fu is definitely up there as well. My favorites also include: Snake in the Eagles Shadow Fearless Hyena Showdown of Master Warriors Crystal Fists Drunken Monkey in a Tiger's Eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheManInWhite Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 "Master Killer has to be the top. The entire movie is basically all training and it's wonderfully done!" Agreed! I also favor Chi Kuan Chun in Shaolin Temple. His display of the 5 animal styles always blows me away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest will91XingYu Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 how could i forget Mad Monkey Kung Fu!!! Yuen Biaos brief washing up kung fu bit in Dreadnaught is really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fabhui Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 For training scenes nothing comes even close to 36th Chambers of Shaolin!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted November 21, 2007 Author Member Share Posted November 21, 2007 He, he, now this is fun... Hey guys, what about Marco Polo? Remember the different styles the four guys had to learn? That one guy i forget his name had to carry those rocks, no boulders:rolleyes:, around from one area to the other, for his sifu... Man, that was brutal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted November 22, 2007 Member Share Posted November 22, 2007 This is going to get me boiled with hot lava, but I liked the training sequence in Spiritual Kung Fu..the teachers looked like the predecessors from the Killer Klowns from Outer Space, but Jackie practicing the Five Animal Fists (Dragon, Snake, Tiger, Crane, Leopard) was quite nice. I also liked the training scenes in the American B-Movie College Kickboxers, also known as Trained to Fight. Tang Tak-Wing (who would work on the stunt team of Drunken Master II) had Ken McLeod stand in a sandpit with a board in it on the beach to show him how to jump without the use of his knees. He also did the slap hands game with him at the restaurant they work at to show him how not to look at the shoulders but at the eyes of his opponents. Tang also showed him a way to strengthen his waist to gain more power in his kicks. And Tang even made Ken walk on ice barefoot to move fluidly like Tai Chi.

Guest moviegyrl Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Wow! Let me see... - Wang Tao in DEATH DUEL OF KUNG FU - Wang Tao & Tan Tao-Liang in CHALLENGE OF DEATH; I thought their dialogue added much to the training sequence - Hsia Kwan Li in WOMAN AVENGER - John Liu in INVINCIBLE ARMOR - Hwang Jang Lee in INVINCIBLE ARMOR - Jackie in DRUNKEN MASTER 1 - Van Damme in KICKBOXER That's all for now!

Guest kungfood Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I have to agree with anytime Chi Kuan-Chun displayed his Hung Gar forms...he's in several of my favorite films. Shaolin Martial Arts Men From the Monastery Five Shaolin Masters Shaolin Temple (Chang Cheh version) Shaolin Avengers others, in no particular order: Magnificent Butcher Knockabout Superpower Death-Duel of Kung Fu (John Liu stretching and kicking the eggs) Mar's Villa Crippled Avengers Invincible Shaolin New Shaolin Boxers The Kid from Kwangtung (Ren Shi-Guan teaching Wang Yu his chin-na). 36th Chamber of Shaolin Challenge of the Masters Hell's Windstaff Fighting Ace (John Liu and Kwon Young-Moon practicing kicks). 7 Grand Masters The Lady Avenger (Hsia Kuang-Li learning her flexibility/kicking style). Warriors Two Prodigal Son Too many great ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CrazyFrog Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Mad Monkey Kung Fu- wow. Hsaio and Lau did it best with this brutal training sequence. Just imagining what that does to your hands... Legend of a Fighter- really good movie but had special resonance with the inevitable showdown between Kurata and Kar Yan. And the training sequence is the one with Kurata training himself before the fight. Crazy! Knockabout- Yuen Baio and the rope. Great stuff.

Guest Drunken Monk Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I enjoy training sequences and i love the effort put into "Crippled Avengers" with regards to training. "Marco Polo" gets an honorable mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted November 30, 2007 Author Member Share Posted November 30, 2007 It wasn't a training sequence, however, the scene where Bruce and Chuck "warm up" before their big showdown in WOTD is about as energy charged as any training sequence on film. The build-up reminds one of two boxers getting lathered up in their dressing rooms before they come out swinging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man, that was a great way to hype up the anticipation for the upcoming fight they had. Another film I liked the training scenes in was Crystal Fist aka Jade Claw and also Super Power, both starring Billy Chong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted May 6, 2008 Author Member Share Posted May 6, 2008 JC in Drunken Master is one of the best actually performed training sequences. Try filling those barrels upside down with those little cups, in sit-up form... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
