As a young lad, I used to watch Kung Fu Theater saturday mornings, after cartoons and right before Memphis Wrestling. I have always been fond of these semi-plotless action packed flicks to the point that I'm working on doing a Kung-Fu Theater style online show.
Anyway, I'm watching the Shaw Bros. classic 36th Chamber of Shaolin now. Who else is representing some Kung-Fu lovin?

It is my dream to win the lottery and open a theater that shows "Kung-fu February Fridays!". It sells itself.

I was watching Five Fingers of Death, also known as King Boxer.
It's rather funny as Lo Lieh, the hero of the film is almost always a villain elsewhere.

I also think the shaggy-haired Japanese fighters might have been the insipration to a Double Dragon boss.

I haven't watched any lately but I do love Kung Fu
Blind Fists of Bruce, Five Deadly Venoms, Snake-Crane Secret and Blood of the Dragon are some of my favorites.

As much as I love the modern version of the martial arts movie, I still do love the classic, slightly cheesy kung-fu flick. Bad dubbing, crazy plots, insane weapons, and once in a while, a damn good fight happens.
I picked up "Master of the Flying Guillotine" on a lark because I thought it was going to be bad but it turned out to be a damn good movie.
There's no fu like an old fu...

I never really got to have a "kung fu theater" show when I was a kid, but I'm always a huge fan of the kung fu classics.
My favorite is probably the original Drunken Master. It was literally fight after fight after fight.

I just watched Shaolin vs Lama, one of my all time favorites. I have dozens and dozens of these movies, and I always have to watch them alone, because my girlfriend, my family, and all my friends think they are terrible.
And occasionally I'll say things like, "I've learned so many styles, forgive me!" and I get a Conway pop. What a bummer.
Kudos to the poster who checked out "Master of the Flying Guillotine", I love that movie. That movie rules, especially that Indian guy with the extending Dhalsim arms.

Does Legend of Ricky count? Such an absurd movie, but entertaining.

The Toad style is immensely strong, and immune to nearly any weapon. When it's properly used, it's almost invincible..

Every couple of months I'll go on a spree for Dragon Dynasty or Shaw Brothers Collection titles.
The aforementioned Master of the Flying Guillotine and Five Deadly Venoms are two of my favorites followed by Five Element Ninjas and The One-Armed Swordsman.
This thread makes me want to watch some of these again.
I dig Samurai films too. I got the Lone Wolf & Cub (or Shogun Assassin as they're called in the states) box set for Christmas last year. They've got good rewatch value for the action and bloodshed.

Ok, after reading this thread, now I'm in the mood for some Shaw Bros. Someone compile a list of some of their most awesome, most cheesiest titles. I need to catch up.

Has anyone ever seen "Drunken Arts & Crippled Fist"?
I love that movie. So cheesy. So good.
Along with that I also own "Enter The Dragon", "Bruce Lee: Ultimate Collection", "Five Deadly Venoms", "Kid With The Golden Arm", and the "Wu-Tang: Soldiers Of Darkness" 20-Disc Box Set.
