Im pretty sure that a large majority of you enjoy the odd Kung Fu flick so here is a thread to Discuss new and old movies of this genre, post your favorite fight scenes, worst fight scenes etc. To kick it off; I have taken a liking to more modern and recent Martial arts flicks with IP Man and Ong Bak probably at the top of the list and an honorable mention to Undisputed 3. Here are some clips from each movie. Ip Man (v 10 Black Belts) www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g6jc_9OzhIOng Bak 1 (v 3 fighters) www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXyhCPkPy7YUndisputed 3 (v 2 different opponents at two different times) www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhVthow3e-Q

Tony Jaa is the man. What makes this even more impressive is it's all one take.

@spidey:
Even better.
But seriously, that was a great fight scene. I have never even heard of this guy before now. My interest is piqued.

I love Old kung fu flicks in general. John Woo movies, anything with Chow Yun Fat. Wuxia like Crounching tiger hidden dragon.
I've seen dozens and dozens of martial art movies.

It was an elephant, Erik But seriously, that movie has some awesome/hilariously brutal fight scenes. I'm not really a 'martial arts' movie kind of guy, but it was so epic.

Agreed. BTW, for those of you who don't like the new Karate Kid movie, you sadden me. It had some awesome fights

Sammo Hung v Donnie Yen = If you want to see the major fight skip to 4:30

Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung are awesome.
And infernal affairs (whom the departed is actually a rip-off of) was totally awesome.

No mention of Drunken Master 2 yet? For shame. One of (if not the) best martial arts movie ever, starring none other than Jackie Chan. Dubbed version (released as "Legend of The Drunken Master") has a hilarious (intentionally and unintentionally) dub, which just makes it all the more entertaining. Roger Ebert has stated that the final fight (seen below) is the most well-shot fight scene ever filmed. I'm inclined to agree.
there's about forty more minutes where that came from! Loads of good stuff in here. No crazy wire effects, no CGI-this is good old, wonderful fighting.
