Y E S. I love Kung Fu movies. Years ago my friends and I held Friday Night Kung-Fu and took turns hosting and picking movies. I'm a big fan of Tony Jaa who pulls his inspiration from both Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan so his stuff is fast and fluid and clever. Ong-Bak is up there as is The Protector.

(my avatar is from the super inframan, which is a pretty significant movie in terms of costuming and storyboards for the studio.)

I like movies like Return to the 36th Chamber where the main character masters the everyday objects they use to the point they develop a fighting style.

drat, it's been at least a decade since I even thought about a kung fu movie, let alone watched one... They were always good, though! Does Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon count? That's the only martial arts film I can recall watching, at the moment. I always liked how touching the ground in a fight was seen as being sloppy/poor form

Kung fu movies are great and it's a shame that a lot of new Kung fu movies are the ip man films which are cool but have less skills being performed

is the martial arts genre just dead at this point? john wick, the raid movies come to mind as recent examples but meh. too many cuts, too much shaky cam.

I actually want to see more cuts and shaky cam, but focused on you, as you get kicked through a concrete wall and off a high rise penthouse.

I love that Fight of Fury is just free on YouTube now. It's definitely worth a watch if you want a bad kung fu movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-jN98YqNIs

Also did anyone ever watch Iron Monkey? That movie sticks out in my mind for some reason even though I only ever saw it once.
