Classical Movie - Why It Remains Relevant For Viewers Today

A little taste from the book:

After hundreds of movies, thousands of eye-popping fight scenes and countless numbers of punches thrown...which ones are the greatest? Which ones have I been missing out on my whole life? Which ones must I have in my collection in order to not bring shame upon my family name?

We’ve scoured the internet. Reviews. Forums. Amazon. Postings. Bulletins. And this list is what we’ve come up with as the best Kung-Fu movies of all time and why you should watch everyone. Pay attention to movies including Yuen Wo-Ping as either director or action director, there is a cause why half this list is movies where he was involved!

#1 - Way of the Dragon

This is the only finished film to be written and directed by Bruce Lee. We could write a lot about the plot, characters or fight scenes...but all you really care about is watching Bruce Lee fight Chuck Norris in the final battle.

Martial Artists: Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris
Director: Bruce Lee

#2 - Shaolin Temple

Depicts the amazing history of the Shaolin Temple, the focal point for Chinese Martial Arts. Think of the Shaolin Monks as Jedi Knights and the rest of China as the messed-up universe that Star Wars takes place in . Much work to do, you have, young Jet Li. *picture Yoda’s accent on that one* Define Irony: A movie shot at the site of the Shaolin Temple, telling a story about the fall of the Shaolin Temple, sparks so much public interest that the temple was re-opened shortly after the movie revealed.

Martial Artisan: Jet Li
Director: Chang Hsin-Yen

#3 - Ong Bak

Raw action without wires, Tony Jaa brings a new martial arts style to the large screen and does so in style. Muay Thai is stronger and more direct than the Chinese styles you’re used to seeing with Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, giving a new look to how a martial arts movie could be done. You’ll be seeing more of him...guaranteed.

Martial Artisan: Tony Jaa
Director: Prachya Pinkaew

#4 - Iron Monkey

Doctor by day, thief by night...Iron Monkey is your classic Robin-hood meets Kung Fu. It’s an action packed flick that can’t go 5 minutes without an excellent fight scene. It all comes down to a battle between Iron Monkey and an ex Shaolin Monk . Remember that guy Yuen Wo-Ping I mentioned? Well he is the director in this one, so you know it is good!

Martial Artists: Yu Rong-Guang, Donnie Yen
Director: Yuen Wo-Ping
Action Directors: Yuen Cheung-yan, Yuen Shun-yi

#5 - 5 Deadly Venoms

No room form "martial arts beauties" in this one, there is so much blood and action that they only cast male actors.
