Re: Favourite Martial Arts films?
I favor Jackie Chan movies for that kind of thing: Operation Condor, Armour of God, Police Story, Supercop, Mr. Nice Guy, Who Am I?, Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon,....
Other than Jackie, though, my favorite is probably Enter the Dragon.
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Re: Favourite Martial Arts films?
Jeez, who can do just five...
...all right. 'Enter the Dragon' is super rad. 'Young Master' and 'Who Am I?' are kind of from extreme opposite ends of Jackie Chan's career, and they're both great. 'Master of the Flying Guillotine' is blisteringly insane, in a good way. And 'Shaolin Sabre Vs Wu-Tang Spear: The Odd Couple' is a longtime fave.
I had to leave 'The Protector' off my list. And 'Story of Ricky', and 'Shaolin Soccer', and like I wasn't able to put in a single wuxia or Shaw Brothers flick. Not one brick-stupid video game adaptation. Zero instances of Jean-Claude Van Damme doing the splits. You're a cruel beast, Hots.

Re: Favourite Martial Arts films?
The Matrix trilogy
Mortal Kombat (original)
Street Fighter
Dragonball Evolution
Not really a fan of the genre, as may be obvious by this list.

...a gypsy told me that if I ever edited one of your posts I'd be eaten alive by emus within a week.
Besides, I already sneakily mentioned a few extra movies at the end of my post. (You might not have noticed because I was bein all sneaky-like.)
