Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted February 16, 2013 Member Share Posted February 16, 2013 The "trilogy" from John Lo Mar that is Five Super Fighters, Monkey Kung Fu and Boxer From The Temple has some of the best Shaw shapes ever imo. My Rebellious Son with Fu Sheng has a lot of great and varied fights. Im sure you've seen the venom flicks.... oh, and check out Kung Fu Instructor with Ti Lung and Wang Yu, if you haven't... and Shaolin Intruders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt realize it was part of a trilogy. Yes Ive seen the Venoms, but never even heard of The Temple, Ill check that one out also. I came across The Avenging Eagle at FYE over the weekend, $5 NEW!! It was ok, far from the top of my list, itll be a while till I see that one again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted February 19, 2013 Member Share Posted February 19, 2013 It's not a real trilogy, hence the quotations... But three SB kung fu comedies by Lo Mar made around the same time, with a lot of the same actors, and im probably the only one refering to it as such. Super Fighters is my fave, followed by Monkey KF with Boxer trailing in third. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted February 19, 2013 Member Share Posted February 19, 2013 Monkey Kung Fu, Ching Siu Tung at his best... Anyone ever wonder if he and Huang Kin Lung are related? Look similar to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first read this thread, I'd would be strugging to put together a Top Ten list. Now after re-reading everyone post's, and having watched a lot more of the Shaw Brothers back catalogue. I'm now unable to condense a list into just Ten of my favourites. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted January 19, 2020 Member Share Posted January 19, 2020 I want to contribute for this thread for years but I just cannot make up my mind I'll list the ones I watch most often because that's easier even if it does not necessarily mean I think those are the best ones. Here goes: MAGIC BLADE FIVE SHAOLIN MASTERS SHAOLIN TEMPLE BLACK TAVERN COME DRINK WITH ME AVENGING EAGLE THE DUEL KING EAGLE FOUR RIDERS DELIGHTFUL FOREST KILLER CLANS DISCIPLES OF SHAOLIN 36 CHAMBERS OF SHAOLIN BRAVE ARCHER CLANS OF INTRIGUE There, gotta stop now I got already more than 10 😇 Yet I know I omitted some dear ones. Just can't do it, it's an impossible task. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted January 26, 2020 Member Share Posted January 26, 2020 Yeah.... with a gun to my head, a rope around my neck and doing the horse stance over a cactus.... I could probably, maybe, possibly boil it down to a top 25.... but it would be hard. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delightful Forest Seven years late, but my list would look similar to this.

I grew up watching Shaws and I didn't even bother to make a top 10 list as for me it would be impossible. But, but, but if I was force to do one then many would be before 1973. 1959: The Kingdom & The Beauty 1966: Come Drink With Me 1967: Rape of the Sword 1968: Golden Swallow 1969: Return of the One-Armed Swordsman 1970: Vengeance 1972: King Boxer 14 Amazons Intimate Confession of a Chinese Courtesan Delightful Forest If I were to throw in post 1973 movies then it would be what are my favorite movies by year - and I would have to omit some titles. 1973: Generation Gap Iron Bodyguard The Kiss of Death The House of 72 Tenants 1974: Heroes Two 5 Shaolin Masters The Savage Five Friends Shaolin Martial Arts 1975: Empress Dowager Disciples Of Shaolin The Flying Guillotine Lady of the Law The Super Inframan 1976: Shaolin Temple New Shaolin Boxer Killer Clans The Magic Blade Big Bad Sis 1977: Chinatown Kid Jade Tiger The Naval Commandos The Mighty Peking Man The Dream of the Red Chamber* I am bias (see my signature pic ) this would be in my top ten if I was force to do a top 10. 1978: Vengeful Beauty Avenging Eagles Heroes of the East The 36th Chambers of Shaolin 1979: What Price Honesty 5 Superfighters Deadly Breaking Sword The Proud Twins 1980: Clan of the White Lotus Killer Constable Heroes Shed No Tears The Master (3 Evil Masters) Rendezvous With Death 1981: My Young Auntie Martial Club Return of the Sentimental Swordsman Gang Master 1982: My Rebellious Son Five Element Ninjas Brothers from the Walled City (Nostalgia reasons) Hell Has No Boundary 1983: Lady Assassin Bastard Swordsman Shaolin Intruder Men From The Gutter 1984: Police Pool of Blood Love In A Fallen City New Tales of the Flying Fox 1985: Martial Arts of Shaolin Hong Kong Godfather Pursuit of a Killer The Master Strikes Back 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted July 20, 2020 Member Share Posted July 20, 2020 Working on a top 5 Shaw film of every year 1965-1985. Still a few titles short on some years, and of course I would have to like them as well. One of those type of lists that is ever changing.... untill you've seen every SB flick of that period. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
