Modern-day Shaw Actioners

[KyFi]

I sat down and figured that the only modern-day Shaw action movies I have are:

Chinatown Kid
Duel of Fists
The Angry Guest
The Singing Killer
Shaolin Handlock
Angel with Iron Fists

Anyone have any other recommendations? I'm generally looking for pre-1980 stuff, where the setting is the present-day (not Republic-era stuff). Thanks in advance!

Generation Gap or Young People come to mind... Not exactly pure action, though...:neutral:

My Son (1969) and Asia-pol (1967) both with Jimmy Wang Yu, excellent movies, you can't go wrong with these two.

I second Cesare's choices, although "Generation Gap" is very much a downer plot, and "Young People" is very upbeat.
Also "Friends" is a modern story from 1974, and despite some drama, ends up being a feel good movie with some action, 70's fashions, and a great performance by Fu Sheng.

I liked "dead end" quite a lot...There is not that much action but Chiang and Ti Lung are cool as always:angel:

[Knockabout]

The Mini Skirt Gang also qualifies, although like the others mentioned here NOT an action packed movie by any means! Mostly slap-stick (sexual) comedy with action only towards the end.

Hong Kong Godfather directed by Wang Lung Wei, its got one of the most savage ending fights ive ever seen.

Edit: Didn't see you were more interested in pre 1980 stuff, well you should see it anyway lol.

The Delinquent - Big Bad Sis, both gritty modern day 70's dramas/bashers.
