Have you watched ALL 10 of these classic movies?

[falkor]

I'm noticing something very peculiar about this forum. Whenever I talk about how good Classic Kung Fu Movies are, I get a lot of negative replies by certain posters being condescending and even putting down movies like Born Invincible, which are considered classics by the real fans. Something isn't right, yet I've experienced a similar problem in music forums; people who seemingly have no passion about the subject will come along to chat about off-topic issues or use the forum as a general trolling ground. I know Kung Fu Movies are a very specialised form of entertainment, and that this is the best place to discuss them, but how many members who visit this forum are genuine Kung Fu fans? Perhaps you mainly watch modern films, but pop in here to have a vent? I know a way to find out... if all you've seen is a handful of Kung Fu films then there's certainly no valid reason to spend your time here. However, if you've made it your business to seek out at least the classics of the genre then you deserve to be here. This doesn't include members who sign up and make but a single post for a film ID then disappear.

Have you watched ALL 10 of these classic movies? Yes or no?

I think the best response to this topic would have been no response at all... :crossedlips:

[prinnysquad]

1) Born Invincible - Yes
2) Super Ninjas - No
3) Enter The Dragon - Yes
4) 7 Grandmasters - Bought but unwatched

6) Snake In The Eagle's Shadow - Yes
7) Way Of The Dragon - Yes
8) The Last Fist Of Fury / Real Bruce Lee - No
9) The Secret Rivals - Yes
10) Shaolin Vs. Lama - Yes

Though I'd say I enjoyed Rebellious Reign, Eight Diagram, Buddhist Fist, 36th Chamber and Fearless Dragons more than most of them. Just haven't got round to watching some of them yet ... hope this doesn't make me less of a fan.

YES , I have seen all
LOVE INVICIBLE ARMOUR :kiss: !!! I would not consider Enter The Dragon a Classic ,
Yes, A BIG COMERSIAL CLASSIC but not on a top 10 list. You like Shaolin Vs. Lama yourself falkor so how can you put Enter The Dragon on the same list :cry: ??? :wink:
Xiexie, Athena

[kungfusamurai]

That's funny, Shaolin Vs Lama is number 10 on your list Falkor. You'd think it would be number 1 or 2 considering you're pleading for money for it.

I think you forgot your other favorite Shaolin Temple Against Lama. You used to bash anyone who dissed that one.

It's odd, but I hardly ever see you talk about Shaw Brothers films. Did you get traumatized by a Shaw film, so you avoid talking about them? Why isn't there a single Shaw film on that list?

But then again, it's YOUR Top 10 list, not mine or anyone elses.

And yes, I've seen all of the movies on the list. Born Invincible wouldn't even make my top 50.

Hey KFS, I'm willing to bet money that you haven't seen all 10 of those films. BTW, Super Ninjas is on there.

I've seen all 10. Have I SAT through all of them, the answer is 'no'. I just browsed through Real Bruce Lee.

I mistook Super Ninjas for the Alexander Lo Rei flick. Okay, you got one Shaws in there, I'll give you that. But you missed Martial Club, or Five Venoms, or maybe one of the Shaolin cycle films with Fu Sheng.

I only started this topic to find out about you. You really surprise me, as I feel you are the single worst member of this forum. I don't know why you are the way you are, but it's beyond my understanding. You appear to be a fan of Kung Fu films, yet are always so against them. I would have a better chance of finding out the theory of everything than trying to understand you. There's no need for this topic to continue... my theory has been proven wrong. Even real fans can end up putting down the genre. You've bothered watching all those films, but don't even like Born Invincible!? That's really pissed me off... I'm done with this forum. Good-bye!

There's a DVD from Digiview of THE REAL BRUCE LEE which is wide, something I've not seen in too many "dollar" DVDs...

I am a fan of "Brucesploitation" - Nothing against Bruce Lee, but in some ways I enjoy those films more than the actual BL titles...

Thank you for the heads up. I'll check that version out. I don't mind the bruceploitation stuff, some are better than others. But if there's a widescreen version of a movie, even if it's a little crappy, I'll still try to get it. Even though I hated Born Invincible, I still looked for the Tai Seng VHS, which was mandarin audio and english subbed.

KFS

[ThunderScore]

Thank you for the heads up. I'll check that version out.

My apologies for going OT, but I wonder if companies such as Digiview and East West DVD are still distributing these titles. I haven't seen any new releases from any of them in quite a while. I suspect the market became glutted with all kinds of the same PD crap...

I never did see Digiview in my local budget big box store, so I don't know if they are still around or not. Whenever I see a bunch of films on a budget label I've never seen before, and they're movies I don't have, I'll buy up everything (one of each, that is). I've stuck to that rule of thumb, because there are so many labels that I've never seen show up at the same store again.

So while I didn't answer your question, my guess is that even if those same labels don't put out new stuff, there's probably a new label that will come up and do the same.

Elton Chong is the best. :tongue:

P.S. to the OP I saw all of those i do believe and own all of them as well i do believe(too many vhs tapes to count). I like the genre period, so all films of the genre in otherwords.

[ThunderScore]

There are a couple of IFD Ninja titles with Pierre Kirby that used footage from Elton Chong movies... NINJA OF THE MAGNIFICENCE and ZOMBIE VS NINJA aka ZODIAC AMERICA - THE SUPER MASTER and ZOMBIE RIVALS...

...I like the Elton Chong titles with Eagle Han as the baddie...

[slinky]

Yes Godfrey Ho was a genius.:tongue:

[kungfusamurai]

Elton Chong isn't easy on the eyes, but he's got some nice Hapkido moves in those Korean flicks he did. My favorite is Deadly Shaolin Longfist (for the fights - I never bother trying to follow the stories)

To me he is like Bruce Lee in some ways. Main reason is his character. They can try to copy these 2, but i doubt it will ever happen. Mainly because of character as i said.

If you're looking for dubs you can get the Martial Arts Essentials: Yuen Woo Ping set, BI is full screen but still decent quality; IA is letterboxed also decent quality. I think they are on the same disc so you could just get it through netflix if you want to see them both.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping there was a non-Videoasia release of these :). I've been trying to avoid the "boots" as much as possible, but it is seems near impossible for many titles.

[GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG]

Interesting I also enjoyed most of Elton Chong's movies.

But always thought Godfrey Ho was the genius behind these films.

Does this mean all the films directed by Mr. Ho are not necessarily his?

Obviously, but is this a big trend in movies with his name on them?

GD Y-Y

[inframan]

The two that I have are all dubbed, check the reviews on Amazon for specifics, they usually have a quick run down on what's dubbed and if its cropped or letterboxed.

As far as avoiding VA I can understand that's why I mentioned Netflix, you could just rent it and burn a copy.

[slinky]

Chia Ling AKA Judy Lee-just to say Godfrey Ho had nothing to do with making these films
Yeah i was referring to his cut and pasting.:tongue: Mainly from ThunderScores post about the ninja movies.

From what i know it allowed him to have 4 or 5 movies for the price of one.

P.S. Nice to meet you too.

[Killer Meteor]

Last Fist Of Fury is only on the list so Falkor can sell it...I assume. I mean, I enjoyed it, but its not even a Z classic.

[prinnysquad]

I watched Evil Destroyer recently, aka Zodiac America 2. The original film (without the western-actor sections) seems decent - does anyone know what it's called?

I wish the originals could make it out of Korea. I asked a relative to look around when he was in south korea to see if there were flea markets or places that had some old martial arts DVDs. He couldn't really find anything there, and it was Seoul. Do they care about their old movies there?

KFS

The Koreans are nuts about film. In the late 80s the market was opened up to more US films which provoked some militant directors and screenwriters to plant live snakes and tear gas in films showing American films! As far as old Korean B-movies I am not so sure, it seems the public at large are consumed by the Korean wave and European / Middle-Eastern art house scenes - and why not. I am sure there must be some that still appreciate these films, I'll have to explore that further soon!

Because many of us don't praise falkor's greatness for his appreciation of Born Invincible, we are dismissed as being trolls or 'off-topic' and not genuine kung fu fans.

Personally I love the Bruce Lee films, including Enter The Dragon, although I think that film could have been so much better had Robert Clouse not been in charge for the filming of the fight scenes. If he had let the HK guys film it their way, they would look so much better and get more props. For example, he closes in too tight on Bruce, so it's like watching a pan&scan, but in a widescreen format. But it's not the appreciation of Bruce Lee films that has led to our headaches with falkor. It's his tone that is off-putting.

Anyway, if you like the way he treats other people who don't agree with his opinion, you can have him. But don't say you weren't warned! :)

Thank goodness Roger Ebert's more forgiving about things like this than falkor!:nerd: Whatever way ANY of us wound up on these forums--and that we have decided to stay for the long haul--what counts is what WE feel in our hearts and minds for these movies we ALL like!

My bad english...but I bet my family jewels eagles claw has more cult status among kungfu fans than born invincible for example.

[KungFu Scorpion]

Don't let the negative comments get you down. I personally consider "Enter the Dragon" a Kung Fu Classic whether its commercial or not. It's Bruce Lee for (GOD SAKES) If it wasn't for Bruce alot of people wouldn't know about "Invincible Armour" or alot of the other classic Kung Fu Films we all enjoy and love. So keep your head up theres others who would consider your list although I would have mention "36th Chamber of Shaolin" and "The Hot , the ,Cool and the Vicious.

Hey it would be cool to get your knowledge of kung fu movies on my site: www.kungfu-movie-madness.com . You can post your own web page discussing your favorite movies as well as place a pic on the page. Others can comment on your page but on in a constructive way.

KFMM is a cool site were you can get a little more creative than most sites discussing something your passionate about. So anyone interested check it out.

Dragon Against Vampire is seemingly untampered with by IFD (meaning they might've cut it a bit but no new ninja footage) and is a great exploitation kung-fu vampire piece with above mentioned players. :)

[Fang Shih-yu]

On falkor's list, there is "Enter the Dragon", which is considered by many to be an ESSENTIAL martial arts movie, AND WE ALL KNOW WHY, so Brother Fang won't restate what is [nearly] common knowledge!:nerd: After THIS movie, how can other martial arts movies be measured as essential, too? EVERYBODY has their own list of classic movies; what other martial arts movies do all of you think are "essential"? If you are even of the opinion that "EtD" is NOT "essential", please chime in with that, too!:bigsmile: Maybe we can come up with a Top Ten list that has more variety to it than falkor's list!:tongue:

[kungfusamurai]

Well, his Top 10 should have included some classics like Prodigal Son and Five Fingers of Death/King Boxer. I think his measure of a TRUE kung fu fan is buying the crap along with the good stuff. If that's the case, then consider me Grandmaster 8th Dan of kung fu, because I've also bought a ton of crappy kung fu! :) The real treat is finding the good ones among the junk. But that goes with any genre of film saturated with B flicks, whether it's kung fu, horror, sci-fi, comedy, action, etc...

I think there's room on this forum for fans of ALL the MA movies, oldschool or modern, that why we have sections, nothing to say a modern MA fan can't start digging the old stuff and visaversa. Open your mind and the world expandes, this shit reminds me of hardcore metal fans that think all other music sucks:neutral:

I only started this topic to find out about you. You really surprise me, as I feel you are the single worst member of this forum. I don't know why you are the way you are, but it's beyond my understanding. You appear to be a fan of Kung Fu films, yet are always so against them. I would have a better chance of finding out the theory of everything than trying to understand you. There's no need for this topic to continue... my theory has been proven wrong. Even real fans can end up putting down the genre. You've bothered watching all those films, but don't even like Born Invincible!? That's really pissed me off... I'm done with this forum. Good-bye!

Nearly a month on, he's been good to his word!

I personally think the title classic gets banded around way too much. Its a dope list dont get me wrong but some just fall short of classic in my opinion. Some have classic moments, but the films as a whole just fall a bit short.

Born Invincible will always be a film in high regard but i cant call it a classic. Classic laugh though!

Shoalin vs Lama, love it to bits but just dont think i can call it classic! To this day i quote the famous "who said that!" line, when i first heard that line i spat my drink out all over my sega megadrive!

And man, surely Enter the Dragon HAS to be a classic!

No 5 venoms though? No drunken master?

Shout out to 7 grandmasters, mutherfuckin classic!

If this was a stranded on a desert island type thing, and I had a choice between 5DV, ETD and DM, or just SvL, I’m taking SvL.

To be honest I probably seen most of these movies but some of the titles don't ring a bell, and I'm a die hard SB fan.

Snake in the Eagles Shadow is one of my all time favourite Martial Art movies.

Jackie Chan was awesome in this film.
