Member DeathFuMaster Posted February 2, 2009 Member Share Posted February 2, 2009 I haven't really seen any movies starring him, just movies with him in it. So I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for me(including newer ones)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Silver Fox Posted February 3, 2009 Member Share Posted February 3, 2009 For newer Donnie Yen movies, you can't go wrong with Kill Zone and Flashpoint. These movies are awsome, full of great, imaginative fighting scenes and good storys as well. These are available fron Dragon Dynasty. For older stuff, Iron Monkey, Once Upon a Time in China II are both great. There's lots more but these are a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DeathFuMaster Posted February 3, 2009 Author Member Share Posted February 3, 2009 I was planning on checking out the Dragon Dynasty releases of Killzone and Flashpoint, are those good quality? I have both Once Upon A Time In China II and Iron Monkey, any other good ones that Donnie is the main star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member lillippa328 Posted February 3, 2009 Member Share Posted February 3, 2009 Ip Man... I really liked Fist of the Red Dragon....as well as Wing Chun and everything already named.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member rederror Posted February 3, 2009 Member Share Posted February 3, 2009 Iron Monkey is a true classic. as is Drunken Tai Chi. Modern day action Tiger Cage has some great action. Also Flashpoint is very good and i liked Legend of the Wolf. Once Upon a Time in China 2 also up there with the best but for me Drunken Tai Chi wins hands down for action scenes.

Member Alex Posted February 3, 2009 Member Share Posted February 3, 2009 his best work before this current resurgence was always with Yuen Wo Ping The period classics they did together have already been mentioned: Iron Monkey, Drunken Tai Chi, Wing Chung. There's also Heroes Amongst Heroes, a lesser effort in some respects but not lacking in good action if you like his modern day 80s homages like SPL and flash point, def check out the originals these derive from: In the Line of Duty 4 and Tiger Cage 2 (much better than tiger cage 1). Both also by Wo Ping Then there's the period where he ventured out on his own and tried to be some kind of artsy auteur. The result were Legend of the Wolf, Ballistic Kiss and Shanghai Affairs. I have mixed feelings about them and generally they're very divisive amongst genre fans. While the choreography is good, the editing is too frantic and the camera work is too stiff for my taste, and so the action kinda gets lost. Worth a look if you're a fan of his, to make up your own mind at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member dMG Posted February 3, 2009 Member Share Posted February 3, 2009 Drunken Tai-Chi and Iron Monkey (1993) are my favourite Donnie Yen movies. Different eras but definitely worth watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted February 24, 2009 Member Share Posted February 24, 2009 Mismatched Couples IMO is an underrated Donnie film. It was actually one of those fun films plus with Yuen Woo-Ping in front of the cameras too doing some comic relief, I liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Solid Ronin Posted February 24, 2009 Member Share Posted February 24, 2009 Can anyone help me ID this one movie I saw, they showed a clip of it in the Iron Monkey extra where Donnie was talking and although he was talking about Legend of the Wolf while it was playing I don't think that was it. He was fighting in some abandon factory or something bare handed with a croc-skin jacket on. I realize that I just described a scene in nearly every Donnie Yen movie but any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
