A lot of classics there, but I would I for "The Magnificent Butcher."

It might be too late to offer a suggestion but I hope you go with The Iron-Fisted Monk or 7 Grand Masters.

Even the weakest film on that list (Mad Monkey Kung Fu) isn't that bad.

If I have a stack of unseen KF flicks lying around, I usually end up watching them in chronological order. First of all, it can be a bit anticlimatic to watch some crisp shapes fest from 79', and the next day, watching some banging-swords-together wuxia or some swingy arm basher, fine as they may be. And it's also fun to see the progression of fight choreo through a stack of movies from different periods. It kinda makes you appreciate the evolution (before the DEvolution) of the genre, and especially if some of the same actors are involved. Like for instance watching David Chiang flailing his arms in Duel Of Fists, to stepping up his game in, say, Shaolin Handlock to really bring the heat in the likes of The Loot or The Challenger. I love stuff like that. It's like an added bonus of the genre. But hey, that's just me....
