Also animal styles are just cool to watch.

Like the lobster style in Snake Deadly Act. Doesn't get much better than that.

I'm also a big fan of the Iron Palm in Brave Archer, especially in part 3 when they upped the choreography level from part 2.

I love all for them! But my favorite are always animal styles.

Specially Panther Fist, and the "Shrimp And Crab" style used in Mysterious Foot Works Of Kung Fu.

Here's two of my favorite styles with standout examples.

DRUNKEN BOXING

SHAOLIN TEMPLE- The Jet version, when the sad monk does a Drunken Pole form.

HEROES OF THE EAST- Gordon Liu's fight with the karate master.

LAST HERO OF CHINA- Jet gets uncharacteristically nasty in the climactic battle.

THUNDERING MANTIS- The little kid does a wicked fight using Drunken Mantis.

The last example fits into the following category too...

MANTIS STYLE

THUNDERING MANTIS- The whole movie.

INVINCIBLE SHAOLIN- Lo Meng rocks his real-life skills in the style.

WARRIORS TWO- Fung Hak On goes all nasty with the style in the end fight.

SHAOLIN MANTIS- Featuring one of my favorite training scenes, and utilizing the style perfectly.

I enjoy both the monkey and mantis fist styles the most. I really like Sammo's short burst of monkey fist in "Encounters of the Spooky Kind."

I'm all for the animal styles, especially when a true martial artist is on screen.

Muay Thai has really shined over the last decade.

As far as made up styles Chang Yi's Smoking Palms of Death and Lee Hoi-sang crab style in Dirty Tiger Crazy Frog.

All great examples, Bruces' JKD always looked great on film, Mui Tai is especially brutal I loved Nai Men in Master Of Flying Guillotine with his dance before he would fight. I also agree with the animal styles there always great in the right hands. I like Sze Ma Lung's Shaking Eagle in One Foot Crane and 18 Fatal Strikes. Oh and Chang Shan at the end of Seven Steps what more could be said about that, easily for me one of the top 10 best final fights of all time, he just would not go down. Thanks for all your responses they've given me tons of new stuff to check out.
