    Drunken Master 2 with Jackie Chan at his best.

    Ip Man 1 and 2 with Donnie Yen has also some amazing fight scenes

    The Protector and Ong Bak 2 with Tony Jaa have some great fights too.

    Fist of Legend.

    Tai-Chi Master.

    True Legend.

    I'd say those 3 are by far the best ones i've seen.

    Dang, mine was taken immediately. I'll admit I'm not the most widely-watched when it comes to martial arts films, but that movie shows off Jackie Chan's brilliance for incorporating inanimate objects and humor into a genre which is normally so dour.

    Ip man was quite brilliant I think. I also love some of Jackie Chans older work, especially the Drunken Master movies.

    Way too many awesome examples of the genre out there. Tossing some Masked Avengers, Iron Monkey, Young Master, Super Ninjas, Big Boss, and Ten Tigers from Kwangtung into the mix.

    Ong bak, Enter the Dragon and Ip man are all the obvious awesome ones.

    I also really enjoyed certain bits of Never Back Down. Okay, a bit of a clichéd storyline, but lets face it, we aint watching a martial arts film for story, are we? It had some decent fight scenes, including some bits that really made me go 'Oooh, fuck', and, I would argue, some really good character progression in there too. Its almost as if the last fight didn't need to even be in there, because by this point it was no longer about revenge or anger ect.

    Also has an AWESOME training montage. And I love me a good training montage.

    1. 36th Chamber of Shaolin
    2. Fearless
    3. The Legend of Drunken Master with Jackie Chan
    4. The Protector with Tony Jaa (not the Jackie Chan version)
    5. IP Man

    I need to watch 8 Diagram Pole Fighter and 5 Deadly Venoms as these sound familiar but I don't remember the films specifically.

    Pretty much watch anything with Gordon Liu in it. He's for my money the most talented actor that the Shaw Brothers employed. Then anything with the Venom actors in it. I just bought Executioner From Shaolin and Mad Monkey Kung Fu can't wait to watch them.
