I am looking for Chow Yun Fat kung fu movies. I have loved all that I have seen him in.

I just saw Postman Fights Back which is really good.

Crouching tiger

Treasure Hunt-loved it.

Peace Hotel-Chow gives a great performance but it is wasted.

I heard Full Contact has some good action.

Are there any others?

I liked Tiger on Beat, Chow doesn't really do any Kung Fu but his co-star Conan Lee does. Gordon Liu plays the villain. Features a pretty good finale.

Yeah, good call. Mostly guns but he does have that one really good fight.

If you're going to check out Full Contact then check out Prison on Fire too. Chow Yun fat has a really intense action scene at the end.

I knew Rdenn would come in with at least 1 TV series. And thanks for the recommendation Yakuza 954, I do plan on checking both of those Ringo flicks out. Please, name any movies that Chow has good non-gun action sequences.

I don't think your gonna find many more if any, Chow was never a martial artist nor even a movie martial artist for that matter. He was known as a dramatic actor for the most part before he became famous for his bullet ballet films with John Woo.

Yeah, that is really why I am trying to find Chow movies. I love his movies, and I love kung fu, I find it a perfect combination. Even though he is not great at kung fu, I have loved all of his kugn fu movies. At least I have Prison on fire to look forward to and I heard there was some good knife action in Full Contact. And, I will haev to seek out that TV series.
