Yo, are you up on the dude at Aqueduct Flea Market? He's got a pretty good selection of titles there. After my son lent out my copy of Chow Yun Fat's "Killer" (without my authorization I might add!), which never found its way home, I got a replacement there. I was there before that big raid 2 years ago. DVD's were going for 9 for $20, but not from the Karate flick dude. I even gave out some as Xmas gifts at work to my subordinates. The ones I couldn't stand! LOL

Didn't know about him... I use a cat in Brooklyn Bargain Bazaar named Fayze. You can just tell him a part in the movie if you don't know the title and he'll pull it. Aqueduct hmmmm.....

Heat Daddy I like your list aside from my aforementioned snobbery....(David Chiang, Seven Blows, Flying)

I can't help it bro. I get into the hokey stuff as well as a bad-ass going toe to toe with a chump. Also, Jimmy Wang Yu, David Chiang, and Ti Lung used to make everything they did look cool, even the ridiculous shit. I remember seeing Jimmy jump up in the air on a mofo and then, the scene just froze for about 10 seconds before he kicked dude in the grill. We laughed our asses off. I think that was from an impossible to find flick called The Screaming Tiger. The goofy shit was always part of the fun and grindhouse flavor and we used to eat it up back in the day.

My favorite is



strangely I have the most rediculous kung fu movie on my desk right now.. IT RULES

I love this crazy ass movie also.

[Heat Daddy]

Sonny Chiba SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

Never get any of his movies!!!!!!!!

Chiba is just like any other action hero. Either you like his style or you don't. I've always enjoyed his films with their mixture of gritty/sleazy criminals and Karate action.

[Heat Daddy]

Street Fighter series was good too...more gangsterish/criminal underworld stuff than pure martial arts, but good at melding both

I just ordered some Chiba remasters. Chiba was bad-ass to the max.

[ebot9000]

I know this ain't kung fu, but I got Seven Samurai coming in the mail this week. Sposed to be amazing, anyone know this movie?

[hairyarmbutcher]

The chinese have an odd sence of humor, well in some martial arts films they do anyway. Did any see mr Vampire?

Some one posted Mystery Of Chessboxing, another of my favorite flicks I didnt list.

[Heat Daddy]

Okay.... I can't resist. Here is a list of some of my favorite Hong Kong Action (mostly without Martial Arts) flicks:

Infernal Affairs Trilogy (Scorcese openly ripped The Departed from this series)
John Woo's Hard Boiled (The best action flick ever)
John Woo's The Killer (The second best)
John Woo's A Better Tomorrow 1-2
Tsui Hark's A Better Tomorrow 3
Return To A Better Tomorrow
Johnnie To's Election 1-2 (Triad Election)
Johnnie To's Exiled
Johnnie To's The Mission
Cop On A Mission
A Hero Never Dies
Colour Of The Truth
Fulltime Killer
Running Out Of Time 1-2
Big Bullet
Full Alert
The Longest Nite
Century Of The Dragon
The Dragon Family
Initial D (Fast And The Furious 3 owes a lot to this flick)
The Legend Of Speed (The Fast And The Furious ripped from this one big time)
Rich And Famous
Tragic Hero
Once A Thief
Throwdown (Hong Kong cats using Judo)
Tokyo Raiders
Seoul Raiders
Casino Raiders 1-2
Heat Team
A True Mob Story

Most of these films are subtitled Chinese crime joints with heavy gunplay. You can check for them on Amazon if interested. They usually get lumped in with Martial Arts movies in stores anyway, so I figured I'd hit you guys off with some other HK shit. I'm pretty sure that many of you are familiar with some of these, especially John Woo's pre-Hollywood bangers. I just had to include some of these bad boys after briefly mentioning them earlier.

BUMP. How about "Five Fingers of Death", isn't that truly a great one? Had to put that one back out there, Ha H a.

[Rodney Ransom]

I dont know the name of it, but its this guy who STUDIES your technique of fighting, then challanges you, with your own style. What makes this film so hot is that he times himself with an hourglass. The sand never runs out of time before he kills you. I LOVE this film but don't remember the name of it. The ending is great but I dont want to blow if for those of you who havent seen this one yet. DAYUM what's the name of this joint, LOL LOL

Once upon a time in china?

BUMP. How about "Five Fingers of Death", isn't that truly a great one? Had to put that one back out there, Ha H a.

This was the flick we emulated, in grammar school, for years. The beginning credits with the theme from Shaft- and the theme from 'Ironside'. First of the classics, for me.

Sacred Knives Of Vengeance

I remember dat! Two guys who start off as adversaries, team up to fight the bad guys, but they both die, at the end. One stops to cough, and gets a bamboo pole rammed through him. Saw this flick when I was 11.
