As many martial arts fans know, with every ten good movies, there's fifty utter gash movies. The purpose of this thread is to dig into those gash movies and admit what ones that you like, and why.
For me, The Old Master sucks but has a spirited performance from Bill Louie, who is quite a nifty fighter in the scheme of things. Also, Kung Fu grandad, Joseph Kuo's (Jackie Chan's real-life master) disco dance to Popeye The Sailor Man, is utterly hilarious.
The Game Of Death 2. Pure Bruce Lee rip-offage but has some incredible choreography courtesy of Yuen Woo-Ping, who was the action-director of The Matrix and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. I can suffer it even though it is an unadulterated pile of shat.
Okay, sadness forthcoming, No Retreat, No Surrender - the film is crap, the worst crap you will ever see (perhaps barring Fist Of Unicorn) but the whole Bruce Lee resurrection scene has me in fits. For that one scene alone, it is worth a thousand bucks.
Anyone?
