Then if you can't get enough of cripples watch Return of the Five Deadly Venoms A.K.A. Crippled Avengers. And if you're really desperate for some more cripple action watch The Crippled Masters.

Yeah I was trying to go through the list in the OP so that's on there; I skipped a few (One Armed Swordsman, Angry River) and am up to Lady Snowblood and 36 Chamber. I'm not too sure about either though as I tend to like these movies more riduclous and they both seem a little more serious  . Will probably watch 5 Deadly Venoms in a bit then. What's the absolutely most ridiculous martial arts movie around? I think I saw a image of a penis monster or something earlier in this thread?

Also, Fantasy Mission Force (although calling it a Kung Fu movie is a bit of a stretch, it does have Jimmy Wang Yu and Jackie Chan in it, and the story of why Jackie is in it is interesting), as is Return of the Bastard Swordsman. Here's a description: quote:It’s pretty common for people in kung fu movies to have superpowers—they fly, punch trees in half, whatever. There is a man in Return of the Bastard Swordsman who has mastered the power of the silkworm, and he uses that power to produce silk from his hands at will. Don’t laugh—he can spear enemies through the torso with solid shafts of silk, or hurl a massive cocoon at them.

Taoism Drunkard, or "Drunken Wu Tang" as I knew it, was a college staple for my friends. Such a delight (with some good fights, unsurprisingly).

If you want super powered kung fu, look no further than the Shaw Brothers' Chinese Fairy Wu Xia'ish adaptation of Superman: "Descendant of the Sun" (1983) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW9ylycrfBU G-III fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Apr 21, 2015 |

There was a 40 or 50 minute documentary released in 90/91/92 (can't quite remember) called The Best of the Martial Arts Films. I've never been able to track this thing down anywhere. Does anyone know if it ever got a DVD release maybe?

Oh poo poo, I just found out Bey Logan is producing Crouching Tiger 2.  This might actually not suck.e: nevermind, apparently his filmmaking skills are nowhere near his film history skills. Jesus that is a bad filmography.

Abu Dave posted:Holy poo poo @ Return of the Five Deadly Venoms. The best Venom Mob films are: 5 Venoms/Return of 5 Venoms (Crippled Avengers) Kid With The Golden Arm Masked Avengers Killer Army Magnificent Ruffians Shaolin Daredevils Five Element Ninjas Flag Of Iron 10 Tigers of Kwangtung I have not seen them all, though. Masked Avengers in particular is real mean and dark and probably the goriest other than Five Element Ninjas. Flag of Iron has got some magnificent stuff in it, Kid With The Golden Arm is probably most like Crippled Avengers (far and away the best of the Venoms films).

To go back to "crazy martial arts movies" I want to recommend anything that has Chinese martial arts combined with sorcery. For starters, Sammo Hung's Spooky Encounters might be the easiest to find. If you can find it though, The Seventh Curse is the best of the best in my mind! As for Fantasy Mission Force, I have it on a cheap 3-pack with 36 Crazy Fists and Young Master. Haven't watched the DVD itself (seen all the films on their own long ago) but for $4 I couldn't go wrong. I don't see it on Amazon now, but I'm sure it can't be that hard to find. While Fantasy Mission Force is completely bonkers, I've always been partial to Jackie's Spiritual Kung Fu. In said movie, Jackie learns kung fu from 5 miniature ghosts wearing red wigs and tutus, this is after he pees on them mind you. Aside from the craziness there are some wicked fight scenes here capped off with Jackie and a pair of tonfa taking on almost two dozen staff-wielding monks. So, yeah, check these both out.

To go with The Seventh Curse try to find the other two Wisely movies: Bury Me High and the Legend of Wisely. Amazing films.

Slaapaav posted:Carano is not a pro actor and the whole movie is built around that fact to try and turn it into a strength. i loving hate hollywood and how they usually portray women like a pile of emotions ready to explode when something in their love life goes wrong. They have her portray someone that talks like someone would talk or act in real life and not like someone would in a movie, she doesnt always show the emotions of her character so the viewer can see it 100% of the time, real people can hide their emotions from others while still having those emotions inside of them.

Chas McGill posted:Got round to watching Haywire earlier and I definitely agree with some of this. The fight scenes were great but the film felt like a missed opportunity. The plot never really engaged me and none of the big names really justified their inclusion. Carano herself was good, although she was dubbed. A shame, since it really could've been a female Bourne film. It kind of was if they'd been made in the 70s.
