Weapons movies

[Drunken Monk]

Forgive me is this had already been done to death (and feel free to delete the thread if it has) but what do you think are the greatest weapons movies of all time?

I know "Legendary Weapons..." and "The Odd Couple" will be mentioned and probably a number of Venom movies but are there any others that really stand out for you?

It's not the greatest but for the variety of weapons alone..... Fearless Fighters

[lillippa328]

Heroes from the East (aka Shaolin Challenges Ninja)

ofcorse Legendary Weapons

Masked Avengers and Shaolin Temple (from what I remember) have great pole fighting....


Shadowless Sword is nice korean swordplay

[WuxiaFan]

Eight Diagram Pole Fighter
36th Chamber of Shaolin
Any Cheng Pei Pei movie (queen of swords)

I like all the crazy wu tang weapons in Shaolin Rescuers.

It is hard to find weapons movies that are not Shaw Bros. and not completely wuxia.

Shaw:
Avenging Eagle!!!
Killer Constable
Rendezvous with Death (not totally a wuxia in my opinion)
Judgment of an Assassin (also not totally wuxia)
Shaolin Prince
Opium and the Kung Fu Master (weapons movie?)

Tang Chia is the director to look for if you want a solid weapons film; a lot of his choreography work was on straight wuxias.

As far as non-Shaw movies, I enjoyed Shaolin Invincible Sticks, but it was not great. I love Strife for Mastery, but it is not perfect either. Ninja in the Deadly Trap is a Venoms weapon flick that deserves a better release.

Seven Grandmasters... you know the scene.
Dirty Tiger, Crazy Frog - I like this better than Odd Couple
5 Element Ninja - Chu Ker got skills.
Last Hurrah For Chivalry - love this flick, not the most awesome handling of all, but might be my favourite weapons related movie.

[The Dragon]

Duel to the Death for it's Japanese and Chinese swordplay action...
Also:

8 Diagram Pole Fighter
The Sword with Adam Cheng
Kung Fu Instructor
The Young Master (the scene in the temple where JC takes on the police...:nerd:

Killer Constable
