Another good Gordon Liu movie is Heroes of the East (aka Shaolin Challenges Ninja), where Gordon Liu is forced to fight basically every Japanese martial artist on Earth because of a wacky misunderstanding. I think it has like a dozen duels with everything from fists to swords to darts to Ninja gadgets and poo poo, but the tone is also a bit lighter and it has more comedy than some other famous kung fu films of that period.

Haywire owns, but a lot of it is slower paced and more serious than you might expect. It's not like Taken where everything is a pretext for constantly murdering scumbags.

moller posted:There's that movie where Gordon Liu marries a ninja. It has a strong female lead and as far as I know, no one dies horribly. It's still mostly a Gordon Liu movie though, and Gordon is a snore to watch in action as always. That's Heroes of the East, aka Shaolin Challenges Ninja. It's pretty funny, and IIRC nobody dies and it's basically bloodless. Also Gordon Liu is great.

Neurophage posted:Lau Kar-Leung is my favorite kung fu director. 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Drunken Master, Eight Diagram Pole Fighter and especially Dirty Ho range from great to best-of-their-genre. Also Heroes of the East.
