Thinking this would be a broad question, maybe your asking of a suggestion instead of favorites.

Anyways my favorite would be " Enter the Dragon 1973 "

Suggestions for martial arts films :

All Bruce Lee films are recommended
Ip Man 1 & 2 2010
The Legend is Born Ip Man 2010
Ong Bak 2005
Fist of Legend 1994

These are heavy treats so go check them

Kung Pow!: Enter the Fist  ;D

Seriously, I don't have any favorites but among the martial arts flicks I've seen recently, "Five Deadly Venoms" was rather memorable. (with English dubbing of course, wouldn't watch Kung-Fu any other way)

may napanood ako kagabi sa star movies, title niya CLASH CODENAME: PHOENIX.
Searched it sa google, pero title niya is - Clash (Bay Rong).

Ewan ko kung pasok sa martial arts (genre) pero yung fight scenes niya nagustuhan ko. :D

Post by: jas on May 25, 2012 at 07:02 AM
^ I have also seen the Vietnamese movie Clash (Bay Rong) & I also like the fight scenes. Also check out The Rebel, from the same star (Johnny Nguyen).

Another alternative martial arts movie is the Indonesian Merantau, which features very good hand-to-hand fighting.

When I was a kid, am a huge Delon Tam fan & saw his films with Meng Fei like The Prodigal Boxer & The Boxer's Adventure. I also liked his pupil - John Liu's movies like The Invincible Armour & The Dragon, The Hero.

These films were usually shown at the old Cinerama, Podmon & Avenue theaters in Avenida Rizal in the late 70's.

All Bruce Lee movies including the original "Game Of Death" that was not released in the cinemas. It has a slight different story and no double actor for Bruce Lee.

I also like...

So Close
Showdown In Little Tokyo
Crying Freeman
Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
IP Man 1 & 2
and many more...

Post by: streetsmart on Feb 05, 2013 at 07:30 AM
Some of my favorites which don't seem to be that well-known:

1. 13 Assassins - Japanese. A wild and very artistic samurai movie with an incredible fight scene that goes on and on. Beautiful plot.

2. The Man from Nowhere - Korean. Probably the best knife fight ever filmed. Very touching plot.

3. War of the Arrows - Korean. Best bow and arrow fight scenes.

4. The Good, the Bad and the Weird - Korean. A parody of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Another masterpiece in cinematography, wild fight scenes, a lot of comedy.

5. The Raid: Redemption - Indonesian. Very exciting fight scenes that go on and on and on.

I would suggest fans of the genre to watch The Grandmaster.  It was definitely a lot better than I expected from a martial arts point of view.

Aye for the 13 Assassins.
Just saw the..."13 Assassins" on cable (Screen Red)- Definitely IMO, one of the most action packed "martial arts" film I've seen.
