Recommended 1980s/v.early 1990s films?

[niro]

My favourite type of films seem to be the martial art comedies from the 1980s and very early 1990s, I dont know why but it's just the look and style of the film from that decade combined with martial art skills and unique comedy which makes them so fun to watch.

My favourites from that time are the films which starred the trio of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao. Along with other titles such as Pantyhose Hero and Armour of God.
I'm looking to check out other films which are similar in style to the ones mentioned before, so could anyone please recommend some good films :nerd:

I recommend two films with Cliff Lok:
KUNG FU GENIUS
RING OF DEATH (aka BASTARD KUNG FU MASTER) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081428/

Also, Yuen Wo Ping directed a lot of kung fu comedies and so did his brothers. Look up:
MIRACLE FIGHTERS, TAOISM DRUNKARD, SHAOLIN DRUNKARD, YOUNG TAOISM FIGHTER.

Check out Sammo Hung's films without Jackie Chan:
ENCOUNTERS OF THE SPOOKY KIND
ENTER THE FAT DRAGON
and especially,
MILLIONAIRES' EXPRESS (aka SHANGHAI EXPRESS)

Those are some of my favorites too. Heres my list although I'm guessing youve seen some of these:
Operation Scorpio good later movie from Pops, has a little DM2 feel to it
Mr Vampire Lam Ching Ying kicks hopping vampire butt, funny as hell
Encounters of the Spooky Kind Old school Sammo w/ Taoism craziness
Winners and Sinners Jackie on rollerskates and an awsome car crash up scene
Knockabout Yuen Biao and Sammo using monkey style!
Writing Wrongs Yuen Biao does some crazy stunts, great fights too.
Tough Beauty and Slopy Slop Biao in a cheap supercop rip off but its fun
Royal Warriors Michelle Yeoh at her best
Yes Madam Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock, great stunts
