Member Drunken Monk Posted March 11, 2009 Member Share Posted March 11, 2009 Forgive me is this had already been done to death (and feel free to delete the thread if it has) but what do you think are the greatest weapons movies of all time? I know "Legendary Weapons..." and "The Odd Couple" will be mentioned and probably a number of Venom movies but are there any others that really stand out for you?

Member HyperDrive Posted March 12, 2009 Member Share Posted March 12, 2009 It's not the greatest but for the variety of weapons alone..... Fearless Fighters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member inframan Posted March 17, 2009 Member Share Posted March 17, 2009 I like all the crazy wu tang weapons in Shaolin Rescuers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member odioustrident Posted March 17, 2009 Member Share Posted March 17, 2009 It is hard to find weapons movies that are not Shaw Bros. and not completely wuxia. Shaw: Avenging Eagle!!! Killer Constable Rendezvous with Death (not totally a wuxia in my opinion) Judgment of an Assassin (also not totally wuxia) Shaolin Prince Opium and the Kung Fu Master (weapons movie?) Tang Chia is the director to look for if you want a solid weapons film; a lot of his choreography work was on straight wuxias. As far as non-Shaw movies, I enjoyed Shaolin Invincible Sticks, but it was not great. I love Strife for Mastery, but it is not perfect either. Ninja in the Deadly Trap is a Venoms weapon flick that deserves a better release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member peringaten Posted March 17, 2009 Member Share Posted March 17, 2009 Seven Grandmasters... you know the scene. Dirty Tiger, Crazy Frog - I like this better than Odd Couple 5 Element Ninja - Chu Ker got skills. Last Hurrah For Chivalry - love this flick, not the most awesome handling of all, but might be my favourite weapons related movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
