You need to tell me which movie you would remove and what shaw movie you would replace it with. The list was not meant to be nostalgic I was considering the actual fight coreagraphy that is why there are no Kurosawa movies here. Even though movies like 36 chambers and the 5 deadly venoms have cool stories the fighting is not better then the movies I mentioned above. I may be wrong about 36th chamber though.

That movie is Sun Dragon. Only $0.77 right now. Great deal for this DVD. http://www.amazon.com/Sun-Dragon-Billy-Chong/dp/B0001ZX0II/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1249715371&sr=8-1

I skimmed this thread so assuming I either missed it or nobody listed it, two movies that should be on every list ...

The Master Strikes

The Eight Masters

Damn someone mentioned Ninja in a Dragons Den. Hopefully I am able to find this movie one day. I remember it being pretty damn awesome.
