The Ip Man movies, especially the first and second, are great movies and Donnie yen is brilliant in those. Thanks for the other references, I'll try to track those down.
Some of my favs:
- Shaolin Kung Fu, Kung Fu Hussle (Stephen Chow From memory): just so much humour and humanity, it's impossible not to love those. Both do the impossible and take the royal piss out of Kung fu movies while being almost entirely about Kung fu.
- Tai Chi Master (Jet Li): very high quality, tells of the dramatic parting of ways of two gifted Shaolin monks expelled from the temple.
- The 36th Chamber movies: golden old school Shaolin movies, there's a couple of them at least in the series, not sure which one is the best, been a long time.
- Drunken Master, the great one where Jackie Chan owns hard. There's been a few and again, not sure which one is the one to go for.
- Warlords ( Jet Li) tells the story of three guys who join the army to try and do something about their fate. Just amazing, huge production, great movie.
