| Year | title | Description | | 1973 | Enter The Dragon | Bruce Lee. 1973. First big Hollywood kung fu movie. Bruce is a Shaolin monk, super kung fu guy who gets recruited by Hong Kong officials to infiltrate and destroy the Evil Dr. Han's island fortress.
Bruce has a bigtime score to settle with Han, cus he's and ex-Shaolin AND han's men brutally raped Bruce's sister year previous! | | 1994 | Tai Chi Master | Jet Li, 1994 Kung Fu goodness. Humor. Jet Li and his buddy are Shaolin Monks. Jet's buddy gets lured to the dark side, and Jet Li has to invent Tai Chi to defeat him! | | 1993 | Iron Monkey | Quentin Tarantiino produced this one, where the Iron Monkey is a Robin Hood against the wicked local magistrate's Sherrif of Nottingham. Add in the benevolent doctor (the Iron Monkey's alter ego), a kung fu child (the young Wong Fei Hung), and some kung fu foxes and you get the picture. | | 1970 | Razon | Bad ass Samurai detective. | | 1970 | Zatoichi | Bad ass blind swordsman | | 1959 | Seven Samurai | No brainer. | | 1970 | Street Fighter | Sonny Chiba. Inspired to see it because of True Romance. Sonny Chiba is (naturally) a bad ass guy who gets in fights to save (and sleep with) a girl! | | Fist Of Legend | Remake of the Chinese Connection starring Jet Li. Better than the original in some ways, but There Can Be Only One Bruce Lee. | | 1972 | Chinese Connection | Bruce Lee plays a student (Chen Zhen) who returns to his Kung Fu school at Jing Wu, only to find that his sifu has died! Woe stricken, our hero finds and avenges his killer! This movies is known by like 10 different names, but its good. |
