Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993)

Chris Balster

It's not so much a martial arts film but the sword fights in Rob Roy with Liam Neeson are really incredible.

There isn’t a doubt in my mind that The Raid 2 is one of the greatest accomplishments in martial arts film history and luckily you already watched the first movie. It’s a bigger and more epic story and really expands its world. Great villains and even more over the top fights. They even bring back an actor to play a totally different character cuz he’s just that good. But my personal favorite of all time is 1994’s Jackie Chan tour de force, Legend of Drunken Master! I was lucky enough to see it in theaters when it finally had a Western release in theaters. The audience went absolutely NUTS. The finale had people cheering and out of their seats. I’ve never been to a movie screening like it.

The Last Dragon was and will always be one of the best for me. You’d love it Mary 😘

The Legend of Drunken Master (1994)

If I'm limiting myself to movies that broke through in the West: 1. Enter the Dragon (1973), *the* Bruce Lee classic. 2. Bloodsport (1988), a fun flick featuring a young and personable Jean-Claude Van Damme before he became "Van Damme." 3. Moving to this millennium and taking a chance on subtitles, the modern classic Ip Man (2008). The martial arts biopic "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" suggested by Alex is an excellent introduction to Bruce Lee: the man, the phenomenon, the myth. And enjoyable.

I was remiss in not mentioning the wonderful martial arts comedy Kung Fu Hustle (2004) (which you've reacted to).

There’s the Karate Kid 2010 with Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith. The upcoming 4th Karate Kid film will come out this year and Ralph Macchio will reprise his role along with Jackie Chan from the 2010 version as well.

That would actually make it the 6th if you include The Next Karate Kid and Jackie Chan’s movie.

If you haven't seen the 1978 version of Drunken Master, do yourself a favor!

I was obsessed with The Last Dragon. Vanity was a massive crush and the fighting was underrated. But for me, it was also the Soundtrack!

DMs

The Shogun of Harlem was great, and the bit at the very last fight (I won't spoil it, but I'm sure you know what i'm talking about) Iy was all great!

It's kinda hard for me to choose. There is Enter the Dragon(1973) The Way of the Dragon (1972) both Bruce Lee films, Street Fighter(1974) starring Sonny Chiba, Black Belt(2007) starring Akihito Yagi, Tatsuya Naka and Yuji Suzuki, Karate Kid(1984) The Last Dragon(1985) starring Taimak and Dragon: the Bruce Lee story(1993) starring Jason Scott Lee. There are other great martial arts films but these are my top favorite

Francisco

Today, it The Last Dragon. Also, Stephen Chow's Journey to the West... and could Raul Julia's Street Fighter count?

“Enter The Dragon”. Bruce Lee is the GOAT.

Duncan MacPhail

Drunken Master II The Hundred Axe Gang scene is the most epic choreography ever committed to film. Jackie Chan's finest work.

David Crabtree

Warrior (2011) "mixed martial arts!"

Timo

Gotta be enter the dragon, but I also love rumble in the Bronx

Jay Perry

Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights. More than just fighting.

Hassan

It's the Raid 1 and 2. Those 2 movies have set the bar for martial arts and action films, since they were released. And have been the actions films in the last 20 years. The Night Comes For Us on Netflix is a close 3rd. (Also features several of the cast of the Raid 1 & 2). Some other classic movies are the Ip Man movies 1-4. Legend of Drunken Master 2, and HERO.

Julian Cerda

Martial arts definitely would be IP man. Chinese wing Chung and base on true events but created by its own story. Really think you’d enjoy it

Baz Andrew

Hmmmmm martial arts.. I'd have to say either Ip Man or the original Mortal Kombat film (from 95)

Classics: - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) - Hero (2002) - Ip Man 1-4 (2008, 2010, 2015, 2019) I also like the following. I'm not sure whether all of them strictly fall under martial arts—I guess it depends on your definition. Some of them also incorporate romance, drama, comedy, or fantasy. - Kill Zone (2005) - Kung Fu Hustle (2004) - Dragon Tiger Gate (2006) - House of Flying Daggers (2004) - The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi (2003) - Shinobi: Heart Under Blade (2005) - The Grandmaster (2013)
