Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted December 21, 2020 Member Share Posted December 21, 2020 It cost me blood sweat and tears to compile an unsorted list some time ago, and I wanted to change it as soon as I had clicked "Submit Reply". While I would exchange some titles now, I don't want to go thru that again AVENGING EAGLE, SHAOLIN TEMPLE and 36th CHAMBER are on my list, too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 How could you possibly whittle it down to ten? But will try. 1) The 36th Chamber of Shaolin 2) Heroes of the East 3) Mad Monkey Kung Fu 4) Avenging Eagle 5) 3 Evil Masters 6) Blood Brothers 7) Soul of the Sword 8) Chinatown Kid 9) Crippled Avengers 10) Shaolin Mantis A nightmare trying to whittle this to ten with masses of Shaws that could replace 3-10 in my opinion. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KenHashibe Posted January 6, 2021 Member Share Posted January 6, 2021 I think I did a top 10 years ago in another thread, but I'll do another one now to see how my opinion's changed: The Eight Diagram Pole Fighter (1984) The Avenging Eagle (1978) The New One-Armed Swordsman (1971) The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978) Bastard Swordsman (1983) Heroes of the East (1978) Dirty Ho (1979) Martial Club (1981) New Shaolin Boxers (1976) Masked Avengers (1981) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member MobFu1972 Posted January 23, 2021 Member Share Posted January 23, 2021 My list will change depending on my mood. My current to 10: 8 Diagram Pole Fighter Five Element Ninjas 5 Fingers of Death Clan of the White Lotus Legendary Weapons of Kung Fu 36th Chamber of Shoaling Shaolin Challenges Ninja Mortal Combat 5 Deadly Venoms Shaolin Intruders This is a tough list to make. Top 25 is more like it for me 😃❗ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted December 27, 2021 Member Share Posted December 27, 2021 I can see I contributed to this thread over the years, and finding it very hard to wittle down a proper list. Well, I have since forced myself to learn how to make ranked lists based on a number of factors, so here's my relatively recent Shaw Bros. Top 40 in ranking order and I guess you could say the top 10 of that answers the original topic question. But again, as I have not seen all SB movies made, this will be subject to change. TOP 40 SHAW BROTHERS FILMS 1: KING BOXER: 1972: DIR: CHENG CHANG HO 2: FIVE VENOMS: 1978: DIR: CHANG CHEH 3: THE 36TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN: 1978: DIR: LAU KAR LEUNG 4: FIVE SUPERFIGHTERS: 1979: DIR: JOHN LO MAR 5: VENGEANCE!: 1970: DIR: CHANG CHEH 6: FIVE ELEMENT NINJAS: 1982: DIR: CHANG CHEH 7: HEROES OF THE EAST: 1978: DIR: LAU KAR LEUNG 8: DEATH DUEL: 1977: DIR: CHOR YUEN 9: MAD MONKEY KUNG FU: 1979: DIR: LAU KAR LEUNG 10: THE CHINESE BOXER: 1970: DIR: JIMMY WANG YU 11: EIGHT DIAGRAM POLE FIGHTER: 1984: DIR: LAU KAR LEUNG 12: THE DUEL: 1971: DIR: CHANG CHEH 13: SHAOLIN TEMPLE: 1976: DIR: CHANG CHEH 14: THE HEROIC ONES: 1970: DIR: CHANG CHEH 15: MY YOUNG AUNTIE: 1981: DIR: LAU KAR LEUNG 16: MONKEY KUNG FU: 1979: DIR: JOHN LO MAR 17: CRIPPLED AVENGERS: 1978: DIR: CHANG CHEH 18: LEGENDARY WEAPONS OF CHINA: 1982: DIR: LAU KAR LEUNG 19: THE ONE ARMED SWORDSMAN: 1967: DIR: CHANG CHEH 20: CHALLENGE OF THE MASTERS: 1976: DIR: LAU KAR LEUNG 21: HAVE SWORD, WILL TRAVEL: 1969: DIR: CHANG CHEH 22: INVINCIBLE SHAOLIN: 1978: DIR: CHANG CHEH 23: THE BOXER FROM SHANTUNG: 1972: DIR: CHANG CHEH, PAO HSUEH LI 24: THE SWORD OF SWORDS: 1968: DIR: CHENG KANG 25: THE KILLER: 1972: DIR: CHOR YUEN 26: KILLER CONSTABLE: 1980: DIR: KUEI CHIH HUNG 27: THE KID WITH THE GOLDEN ARM: 1979: DIR: CHANG CHEH 28: HONG KONG GODFATHER: 1985: DIR: WANG LUNG WEI 29: SHAOLIN INTRUDERS: 1983: DIR: TONG GAAI 30: BELLS OF DEATH: 1968: DIR: GRIFFIN YUEH FENG 31: BASTARD SWORDSMAN :1983: DIR: TONY LIU 32: REBEL INTRUDERS: 1980: DIR: CHANG CHEH 33: SECRET SERVICE OF THE IMPERIAL COURT: 1984: DIR: TONY LIU 34: THE MASTER: 1980: DIR: TONY LIU 35: MY REBELLIOUS SON: 1982: DIR: SUN CHUNG 36: THE LADY ASSASSIN: 1983: DIR: TONY LIU 37: THE KUNG FU INSTRUCTOR: 1979: DIR: SUN CHUNG 38: SHAOLIN HANDLOCK: 1978: DIR: HO MENG HUA 39: CHINATOWN KID: 1977: DIR: CHANG CHEH 40: MERCENARIES FROM HONG KONG: 1982: DIR: WONG JING 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member 8DiagramAuntieFighter Posted February 21, 2022 Member Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Can’t imagine someone having a set in stone top 10 for this.

Fist of the White Lotus 5. Mad Monkey Kung Fu 6. King Boxer 7. Shaolin Mantis 8. Martial Club 9. Five Element Ninjas 10.

The Killer Snakes (1975) 10. Men from the Gutter (1983) I've seen and enjoyed most of these (some I think are masterful) and at least one is one of the worst SB films I've seen Never heard of Men from the Gutter, gonna seek it out. killer Snakes seem right up my alley so that one I will watch very soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SDJ Posted June 9 Member Share Posted June 9 1. Heroes of the East 2. Invincible Shaolin 3. Martial Arts of Shaolin (the Jet Li movie) 4. Dirty Ho 5. 8 Diagram Pole Fighter 6. Five Deadly Venoms 7. Deadly Breaking Sword 8. Avenging Eagle 9. Shaolin Mantis 10. White Lotus Clan ...or something. Excluding a bunch of 60s and early 70s bashers and wuxia flicks that I do like because when push comes to shove, that late 70s/early 80s choreography is admittedly a major factor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
