If your getting a feeling for the wonderful world of martial arts cinema with the way hollywood is mass producing films such as The Matrix trilogy, The blade films and anything else to do with a super hero that was in a comic once really?

Check out www.hongkonglegends.co.uk how it all began with some of the greatest titles from traditional kung fu e.g. Drunken Master, Once upon a time in china, and Iron monkey. Or the more modern kung fu titles such as In the line of duty, Black sheep affair and The Hit Man.

Its easy to order and it takes less than a week to receive the goods. (and they dont charge for P&P!)

Loved most of the early Jackie Chan movies and some of the early jet Li ones. Still for epic movie I love Crouching dragon....

Anybody seen the new trailer for the next Tarinteno film its got mostly martial arts and bullet time in, any one state side seen it yet?

Game of Death
Enter the Dragon

aint seen many jackie chan ones, tho I hear jet li is ace at them too

Drunken Master
Snake in the Eagles Shadow
The Defender
Hitman
Project A
Police Story 1
Police Story 2
Tai Chi Boxer
Fist Of Legend
Twin Warriors
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (shame)

Those are all I can get off the top of my head but they're my favourites... I can't remember the Jet Li titles so well anymore. All The early Chan ones are brilliant.

Black Sheep Affair Is Awesome


I Cant Stand Jackie Chan Personally, Tho Some Films eg Gorgeous Are OK

Jet Lis The Man


HK Legands R Doin 2 For 1 On DVDs At The Moment

Warriors 2
Shaolin Story
"that one with jet li and that HUGE stick and his amazing son"
and of course Enter the Dragon and the Big Boss

WatahhhhhH!!!

"once upon a time in china"? think thats it

Any Bruce Lee Films

Most Jet Li Films (I Love Black Mask)
Black Sheep Affair
C.T.H.D.
Too Many Others To Mention

I Realised i Didnt Put The Matrix Films In, But To Me They're So Much More Than Martial Arts Films

They're also a sick sexual fantasy ;)

I forgot but I had meant to add that while I liked Bruce Lee I found the films really wore on where the Chan ones stood up because he's so seemingly indestructible. Chan has always been week and generally an idiot or at least a dosser (drunken master etc). It adds depth of character to the film and though the acting is terrible, Lee wasn't just terrible, he wasn't an actor. I know I'll be the only one who seems to badmouth him, but he was a great bloke, I just think he's been built up too much. I think Chan and Li will never be recognised because over the years the Lee legend has grown into much more than he was. It's sad that they'll both, and many others like Sammo, be eclipsed by Lee in the long term to at least a small degree. OOOh, I'm a coniseur.

Im personally a very big donnie yen fan.
He's without a doubt as tallented as jet li and has something extra e.g. he does all his own stunts
I nearly shot my man fat the first time I saw Iron monkey!

Anyone seen the new Steven Segal movie?
"Half-Past Dead"
It's awful. Bad awful.

I prefer Chuck Norris films, he's a very talented martial artist.

Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee are pretty good too lol =)

Yeah. Both very good.
I just received "In the line of duty" And he's on top form in that. Also got "Body Weapon" and "Eastern Condors" in the 3 for £22 deal on the web site. Only took 3 days for delivery!
