#50 - Leung Kar-yan vs. Eddy Ko

What happens when you’ve finally pushed a man past his limits and he loses all control? A spot of the old ultraviolence of course. Leung Kar-Yan destroys this man’s body while spitting and frothing at the mouth like a lunatic.

You faggot, you stole my idea. I was just about to make this thread, except my countdown was going to be about interracial romances instead of fight scenes.

#49 - Dragon Family (1988)

A unique entry on this list, this film wasn’t quite sure what kind of action film it wanted to be – so it mixed frantic gun action with martial arts to sublime effect.

#48 - Eastern Condors (1986)

Here’s a film that suddenly transforms from a mediocre war flick into a fantastic display of the talents of some of Hong Kong’s best on-screen martial artists at the time. Watch out for the two henchmen that would later go on to star in Jet Li’s excellent portrayal of Chen Zhen.

Kino thread, will watch these when I get home.

#47 - Shaolin Drunkard (1983)

They sure don’t make films like this anymore. Hong Kong films have lost their humorous and laid-back style in recent years thanks to the Red Menace. This fight features a lot of creativity and some scintillatingly sharp choreography. Woo-Ping Yuen made a bunch of these flicks in the early 80’s, but this is probably the best of the lot.

@1:22:00

#46 - Mahjong Dragon (1997)

A deadpan comedy is a strange place to find one of the best fights in cinema history, but that’s what we have here. The film itself is pretty shit thanks to the main character who has the emotional range of a wet paper bag, but he can fight well, which is all we care about. And yes that’s Ken Lo, from THAT Jackie Chan fight.

@1:24:00

>>1617463

Your thread is trash normal faggot.

The time where you could say anything you want is over. Even the far corners that used to protect the idea gave in. The internet is for normal fags. Even the most obscure places are for normal fags now. If you go and create something new, then within a year it will be for normal fags if you let anyone know. Thanks to geniuses making it easy for the brain dead masses to "have a say" and " be included" in everything it all has been ruined. That time you experienced over a decade ago was the last remnants of the wild wild digital west……

>>1617566

>I watch media

>>1617579

Thanks Anon!

I'll be back tomorrow for the next 5 films.

>>1617633

Patience, Dear Anon

If you don't post 2 Champions of Shaolin, i'm going to get really pissed

Otherwise great thread, but you posted on the wrong board

How about that final Jackie Chan fight on top of the skyscraper in Who Am I?

>>1617500

Wow Sammo Hung is pretty thin in this one.

Going to steal this thread once your finished and post it on my rottentomatoes blog!

You should duplicate this thread on /film/ so it lasts longer

You should move this thread to /film/ because /tv/ is a shit board that doesn't deserve threads like this.

does /film/ allow anime discussion?

"They Live" obviously

Hello Anons, how are you enjoying this most holy of days? Here's the next 5:-

#45 - Legendary Weapons of China (1982)

A film based around the real-life phenomenon of Chinese martial artists thinking they could train their bodies to resist Western bullets, with predictable results. The last fight in this film has all 18 traditional Chinese weapons in action in the best display ever seen on the silver screen.

#44 - Paradox (2017)

The most recent film on our list, and the first appearance of Tony Jaa. The creators of this film in their infinite wisdom decided it prudent to kill off the only actor with martial arts skills halfway through the film, and thus our best fight appears at the halfway point.

#43 - Skinny Tiger Fatty Dragon (1990)

Don’t let the awful Bruce Lee impressions put you off, this fei-lo has starred in some of the best martial arts movies of all-time. An excellent film from start to finish.

@1:30:00

#42 - New Police Story (2004)

Jackie Chan was 50 by the time this film came around, and it was starting to show. This is probably the last time you’ll see him strut his stuff effortlessly in a truly great fight scene. I didn’t care much for the story though. They should have made the antagonists hapas and it would have been more believable.

#41 - The Invincible Armour (1977)

You just know the fucker means business when his hair has gone white. Hwang Jang Lee has trained his body so extensively that it is now completely invulnerable. And not only that, he can suck his meat and two veg up into his body at will. Rumour has it he only has one fatal weak point, I wonder where it could be?

I'm gonna be disappointed if the puppet scene from Drunken Taichi didn't make the list.

>>1617951

underrated

>>1618548

I'm going to have to check this out.

Sword of Stranger

https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=2LVttL1c9Ro

And we continue.

#40 - Fist of Fury (1972)

This actor and this movie certainly need no introduction. Bruce remains the fastest guy ever on screen and spawned an entire genre of complete shite after his death with copycats trying and failing to recreate his magic. This is him effortlessly taking on an entire dojo at once.

#39 - Rebellious Reign (1980)

The anonymous minions just keep on coming! All hell breaks loose in this 10-minute non-stop fight scene and the death count gets massive. Good luck on keeping count.

@1:25:00

#38 - Thunderbolt (1995)

This fight scene makes exemplary use of the environment as a pachinko parlour gets absolutely trashed. Fighting in-between pachinko machines, on top of pachinko machines, bouncing off pachinko machines… and in typical pachinko fashion, it all ends with pachinko balls. Lots of pachinko balls.. And there’s that guy who can’t keep his leg out of the air again.

#37 - Fearless Dragons (1980)

I’ve never heard of dragon or horse styles of kung fu before, but they’re creatively combined here to establish one of the best ‘2 v 1’ fight scenes in history. Wang Lung-Wei was a villain in every single film he featured in, which is probably because his expression never changes.

#36 - She Shoots Straight (1990)

Ah yes, the first ‘girls with guns’ film, an extremely popular subgenre in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Agnes Aurelio buffed up for this scene, and on another film shot around the same time (with slightly inferior action), one character calls her a tranny straight to her face. This is another really good film from start to finish.

#35 - Cockney Kung Fu

>>1620609

>the first ‘girls with guns’ film

>1990

I'll have to ask politely HKbro, but i thought 1987's Iron Angels (天使行動) was one of the famous "waifus with raifus" movies, and that's at least 2 years before

Also i didn't expect Thunderbolt to appear here, i thought Fist of Legend (Fist of Fury remake by Thunderbolt's director) was going to be his representative, even when i was more impressed by the former.

Very cool list so far.

>>1621097

There were girls with guns films as far back as 1984 as far as i have seen, Anon. I meant the first in my list.

#35 - Legend of a Fighter (1982)

Oh how I love these China vs. Japan films, they really bring out the best hate in people. The sheer loathing in Leung Kar-Yan’s eyes is palpable. It’s too bad Japan doesn’t make any China-hate kino. This film also has one of the funniest English dubs ever so make sure to watch it in that format.

#34 - Dreadnaught (1981)

A theatre is an apt location for this fight scene as it has great staging. Our villain is a psychopath who wears a mask and can stretch his arms like Dhalsim, which is a gimmick that works really well. One of Yuen Woo-Ping’s best films.

#33 - Five Superfighters (1979)

Now this is a pure kung fu film. A guy goes around dojos beating the shit out of people for no particular reason whatsoever, shutting the schools down for good. A bunch of guys join forces to take revenge and it takes the 4 of them combined to best him.

#32 - Kung Fu vs. Yoga (1979)

Now here we are, a very unique film on our list. They tried to steal his turban but he was having none of it. The shit this guy can do with his body blows my mind. My friends, you must be joking!

#31 - Hellz Windstaff (1979)

Now we’ve had a Hwang Jang Lee fight before, but he starred in a very different role than this. This Korean’s kicking skills are no joke, and he’s surely the best kicker to ever grace the silver screen. This is pure talent and ability.

Blood Sport better be #1.

>>1622066

I apologize bud

>>>/4cuck/

>>1624353

who are you quoting?

#30 - Dragons Forever (1988)

Who’s that gwei-lo with the ponytail and the eye-liner? Why that’s real-life kickboxer Benny ‘The Jet’ Urquidez. And who am I to judge that he raids his wife’s handbag? It was the 80’s, after all. This was his 2nd best fight with Jackie.

#29 - Yes, Madam! (1985)

Hong Kong choreography had become so proficient by the 80’s that even white women could pass as competent on-screen fighters. Loads of energy in what is probably the best ‘girls with guns’ film and of course choreography that’s light years ahead of Hollyweird.

#28 - Warriors Two (1978)

Another Korean kicking expert, Casanova Wong, finally got into a competent action production to demonstrate his skills. Unfortunately, the only work he got afterwards were in schlockmeister Godfrey Ho’s barrel-scraping escapades.

#27 - A Fistful of Talons (1983)

I love these old-school kung fu movies where actual martial arts practitioners and experts were cast in roles instead of the Cantopop shirt lifters we get today. Here’s another Korean grandmaster who tore up the screen. He’ll be making another higher-profile appearance later..

@1:06:00

#26 - Born Invincible (1978)

Legend has it if you train in the martial arts non-stop from a very young age until you’ve achieved grandmaster status then your hair will turn white, your voice will turn girly and your dick will recede back into your groin. At least that’s the premise of this film. Classic martial arts kino.

>>1620602

Wow he didn't even tuck in his hair for that wig.

>>1625350

Did you just shit on Cynthia Rothrock, you dog eater?

#25 - Who Am I? (1998)

This is a film that is otherwise completely unremarkable, featuring actresses who thankfully never worked again, until the action suddenly gets turned to eleven in the culminating Act. Ron Smoorenburg, a man better known as gang member #5, or thug #3, shows off his best legwork, and boy is it impressive.

#24 - The Magnificent Ruffians (1979)

Now if this was a list comprising the best martial arts films many more Venoms outings and Chang Cheh kino would feature. As it’s just a list of best fights however, there’s one fight in particular that’s head and shoulders above the rest. Lu Feng is a weapons expert from Taiwan and he shows off his consummate skills with the golden sword.

#23 - Two Toothless Tigers (1980)

An extremely rare film, most of the few copies that are still around are missing film stock or have extreme print damage due to the Hong Kong tradition of leaving film reel in damp basements to waste away. Which is a huge shame as this is one of the best examples of the genre. I’d be very impressed if you’ve seen this before. (that nut kick tho)

>>1623588

Correct. This list is garbage.

#22 - Operation Scorpio (1991)

Now this is one I’ve been looking forward to. As we’ve seen from this list, Koreans have some of the best techniques and talent filmed on camera. Kim Won-Jun is yet another one who tears up the screen. He disappeared shortly afterwards (rumours say he got AIDS) so this is the only movie you’ll get to see him strut his stuff in. Jean Claude who?

#21 - The Victim (1980)

Leung Kar-Yan has featured on our list no less than 3 times, and here he is yet again in his absolute best fight scene. He always puts such ferocity and rage into his performances, and this time gets to take on an entire dojo.

>>1626941

we took a vote, your list is shit

This isn't a wire-fu or wuxia list, Anon. You'd know that if you'd actually watched any of the videos.

>>1627212

It doesn't matter. It is a bunch of kung fu movies and kung fu is the gayest martial art.

>>1627216

Kung fu isn't a martial art, Anon. It's just a general chinese term for unarmed combat, just like 'martial arts' is.

Maybe he got nabbed by the commies for using that tripcode

I was just getting warmed to run for a couple of these

Sorry Anons, I had some business to take care of yesterday. It's time to dip our appendages into the teens.

#20 - Killzone (2005)

Damn, doesn’t this guy have one of the most punchable faces you’ve ever seen? I suppose it’s felicitous he went on to star in commie propaganda. This fight is fast, intense, and brutal. A true fight to the death from start to finish.

#19 - Dance of the Drunken Mantis (1979)

40 years ago, somebody in Hong Kong stared longingly into their ceramic cup of rice wine and asked themselves how can I make a fight scene out of this? Well this was the result. You might recognise this dirty old bastard from Drunken Master, and here he is again starring in the exact same role in its quasi-sequel.

#18 - Magnificent Butcher (1979)

Kuan Te-Hsing proves the pen is indeed mightier than the sword in another perfectly choreographed fight scene from the Yuen clan. It’s always impressive watching a man in his 70’s show off his skill.

#17 - Gorgeous (1999)

Known as the only white bloke to ever make it into Jackie Chan’s renowned stunt team, this manlet (well, by white standards) puts Jackie to shame with his speed and technique, and you’re never quite convinced that he can be beaten (Hwang Jang Lee also had the same ‘problem’). These two great fights arbitrarily take place in an awful romcom that was clearly made-up on the spot by the director as he went along. Jackie probably only agreed to be in this so he could sleep with the actress half his age.

@00:04:00

#16 - In the Line of Duty 4 (1989)

This has to be the best ever location for an end fight – a building rooftop with Kai Tek airport’s runway in the background. Oh how I wish I could have been in one of those L-1011’s. Now watch a very youthful Donnie Yen fight a big angry nigger twice his size.

kung fu is fine, then you hit 13 and everything changes.

>ctrl+f white lotus

for shame

>>1629482

I have it at about #75 in my list. Executioners From Shaolin (1977) is better.

Cool thread OP, keep going.

>>1629208

Too artifical for my taste, the combination of the grunts/punch-sounds/editing and the absurd inbetween-combat actions hampered my ability too emotionally invest in the fight.

Could OP at least post the original language? The english lip-synch ruins the suspension of disbelief.

>>1630019

Fun fact - the lip synching will never quite match as sound was never recorded on-set in Hong Kong films until recently. It was always added in post-production so every film could be dubbed in cantonese, mandarin and english.

bump continue op

>>1630019

The fight you just posted has cool things happen, but is "shot" too close to the fighters to really understand what is happening.

I've noticed the same problem with the Asuka vs Eva Series fight from The End of Evangellion [Vid Related starting at 6:09 and resuming with the real meat of the fight at 11:35 and 14:50].

For example: Who threw the artificial Lance of Longinus at 15:38, and from where?

>>1617463

Charlie's angels films.

anything with strong independent women

>>1630838

I've always liked how Asuka's hair conveys the weight and moment of the fight at 12:21 when she rolls and counterattacks with the blade.

>>1630858

I meant momentum.

How are you gentlemen doing on this fine day? I've just booked myself a ghost hunting experience for Halloween. Without further ado, it's time for our next 5 films:

#15 - Way of the Dragon (1972)

The unstoppable force finally meets the immovable object. The two baddest dudes on the planet face each other, prepared for combat. There can be no real winner (ok yes, Bruce won, but it was his film after all).

>>1631636

I was getting numb here

>ghost hunting for Halloween

Are you going to eat them when it's finished?

#14 - Millionaire's Express (1986)

This fight plays out as a veritable who’s who of contemporary martial arts stars. Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Dick Wei, Yasuaki Kurata, Richard Norton, Yukari Oshima, Hwang Jang Lee, Wang Lung-Wei, Cynthia Rothrock, Hoi Meng. Seriously, everybody is in here. Apart from Jackie that is, who must have missed out on a party invitation.

#13 - The Protector (2005)

Known for being the longest fight scene filmed in a single shot, this is also the first film in the list not to originate from Hong Kong. This must have taken some serious planning and perseverance, and Tony Jaa looks absolutely exhausted by the end. SPL 2 one-upped it 10 years later, but this is still by far the better flick.

#12 - Dirty Ho (1979)

Gordon Lui’s best film and best fight scene. The synchronisation and precision required for this 2 vs. 3 fight is insane. I actually didn’t fully appreciate this film until watching it for a second time.

#11 - Wheels on Meals (1984)

One of the first films to move the genre from old-school to new-wave, as the pre-industrial China setting had just about been done to death by this point. This fight between Benny ‘the Jet’ Urquidez and Jackie was a sublime way to kick off the new style and makes excellent use of the scenery.

#10 - Police Story (1985)

A film that marks a huge step-up in production values for Jackie thanks to Mitsubishi product placements all over the film, as well as everything else that came afterwards for the next 15 years. This fight scene is impressive for one main reason: the stuntmen. Bugmen are dropping like flies risking life and limb smashing their heads through glass, breaking their backs off escalators and being thrown off high floors, all in the name of entertainment kino. Honestly the funniest part of this movie is the credits scene showing the stuntmen being rushed off to hospital with various fractures. It’s one of the main reasons films like this can never be made in Hollywood.

I was huge into HK films a while ago, I tried shilling it to anons here but they weren't interested. I'm now glad to see someone sharing the same interests as me.

#9 - My Young Auntie (1981)

Now this film is absolutely awful until reaching the final 15 minutes, upon where we’re spontaneously treated to one of the best fights in cinema history. Once the two poofs have gotten out the way, the true masters get to work and the shirts start coming off.

I'm interested but nobody replies either, so i just shitpost and post in the one true kino board

#8 - Fist of Legend (1994)

One famous face who has been noticeably absent from this list is a certain Jet Li. Unfortunately for him, he only became famous just as the martial arts genre was in a severe nosedive, with fantastical flying and gravity-defying spins being the new fad. One film to break that odious trend is this one however, and stands head and shoulders above the rest of his work. Billy Chow channels that Japanese aggression perfectly and turns this one into a brutal tour-de-force.

#7 - Drunken Master II (1994)

Yes you all knew it was coming, and here it is. Ken Lo shakes those legs as effortlessly as a bird flaps its wings, with both capable of remaining airborne indefinitely. Mixing in the elements elevates this fight scene above others as the hostile environment remains an ever-present threat. John Liu and Tan-Tao Liang also used to have this ability, but they only ever got duff Taiwan film roles.

>>1633262

Oh come on now, personal opinion but i felt disappointed after seeing that movie, i was expecting much more for its fame

Felt like Last Hero in China but with Wong Fei Hung dressed as a japanese school boy and without kicking

But if Drunken Master II is only number 7, i'm very eager to see what the first 5 are

>>1634773

>inb4 Enter the Dragon

No, that's here: >>1631636

>>1634842

I think the choreographers were trying too convey that the blade was blocked and deflected either on the side of the blade or below it.

>>1635024

I think he tried to say the martial arts sub-genre where actors fought without cables and fast cuts, the "real" genre

There was a nosedive in those days, but Jet Li managed well as he was surfing that cable wave, in several aspects and projects, hence his popularity

Shaolin Temple, Wong Fei Hung, Fong Sai Yuk, The Swordsman 2, Tai Chi Master, dude was all over it

>>1635024

1992-1994 almost all films made were over the top wire-fu, and Jet Li was in most of them. The Legend 1 & 2, Tai Chi Master, Kung Fu Cult Master, New Legend of Shaolin, Swordsman, Wing Chun etc.

>>1635506

They actually frequently made use of cables in those old martial arts films, just not in the way you think of. One way of achieving a believable sweep is to tie ropes to the actor's legs and pull their feet out from under them when the attacker mimes a sweep.

#6 - Kid From Kwantung (1982)

Never mind Mark Wahlberg, did you know Hwang Jang Lee killed a Vietnamese knife expert in self-defence with a kick to the temple? This guy is the real deal, and as previously mentioned has the best kicking technique of anyone ever put in front of a camera. Mainly starring as villains in shoe-string budget independent productions, he finally got a chance to combine his skills with Shaw Brothers choreography in this absolute classic that almost no-one has heard of.

>>1636383

>>1636581

Thank you.

>>1636581

So, which fighter is Hwang Jang Lee?

>>1636581

Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh!

[ASIAN MONKEY NOISES]

*Poooof*

>>1636962

The one with the bootwork

#5 - Ong Bak (2003)

After the Hong Kong industry increasingly turned towards pop stars and CGI, and lost sight of what made these films made great, Ong Bak and Tony Jaa took us back to the basics. Originally a dancer, Tony is 100% convincing as a Muay Thai expert with sublime technique and speed. Emphatically heralding the complete absence of wirework or stunt-doubles, Ong Bak returned to what has proven to work best – stuntmen getting the absolute shit kicked out of them. There are certainly no pesky labour laws in Thailand holding back entertainment. Unfortunately, Tony only gave us 3 great movies (each one slightly inferior to the last) before apparently going nuts and becoming a monk. Once he got his marbles back and started appearing in films again, his agility and flexibility had noticeably faded. Give me the steroids.. ALL THE STEROIDS!

>>1638257

Dirty, also, no one would recover that quickly from being chocked like that. Fingers on the esophagus like that, will leave someone unable too fight.

#4 - Martial Club (1981)

Anons I must confess, for I have committed a terrible sin. I professed that Gordon Liu’s best work had come and gone, but that was in fact a big fat lie. This is Gordon Liu’s best work. The genius of this fight is the ever-narrowing alley in which it takes place – an opportunity for some very creative choreography.

>>1639924

I've don't understand fighting styles like this. It rarely looks like the opponents are trying too hurt each other, as well as the opponents showing no permanent sighs of pain/physical damage. It looks like they are trying too psych each other out and forum some kind of opening by making the other think they will do one thing while doing another. Such a style requires both opponents too have very similar fighting styles. Seriously, punch each other in the face or gut already!

>>1630838

The first bad eva she "killed" threw it after getting back up and your not suppose to see from where because she doesn't. It is more tense that way

#3 - The Raid 2 (2014)

After Thailand, the baton was passed on to Indonesia, and now we have even smaller manlets kicking each other’s heads in. This end fight is even more brutal than Killzone’s; we're in no doubt there is only one man going to be leaving this kitchen, an apt location on account of all the slicing and dicing these two get up to. Known as the first white man to ever make action kino, after filming this masterpiece Gareth Evans transitioned into making average horror movies. Oh, and stealing your enemy’s weapon and using it against him is genius.

>>1632218

>>1641509

I found an interesting analysis of the fight the other day. This guy doesn't pronounce the show's or character's names correctly, but he points out that the fight is "shot" in one of two ways:

1. From the perspective of an imaginary person watching from ground level.

2. From Asuka's perspective (as >>1641509 pointed out) so we can empathize with Asuka's struggle.

Maybe the fight is shot so close because Anno wanted to convey the scale of the fight, as well as Asuka's hyper-focus induced "tunnel vision" while she fights the Eva Series.

Mitsuo Iso (the animator) also conveys the scale of the fight with how the momentum of the blades (and Asuka's hair/body >>1630858 >>1630862 ) is shown, as well as the environmental destruction.

Part 2 of his analysis here: https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=_X7ju6akJCs

Sorry Anons, busy times. Final 2 will be along shortly.

This is actually from Jet Li's Fist of Legend.

>>1647208

Good eye, that does seem Li's Chen Zhen's rhythm, must be from the Tomb fight or the one against his buddy in the kung fu school.

Clearly Bruceniggers at it again trying to brag about things that Bruce didn't even see. The Chinese Bob Marley.

The Bey Logan commentaries really added another dimension to these movies. I really miss watching each of them a dozen times in high school. Now I just pump and dump movies and never give them a rewatch.

>effortposting on /tv/

You are too good for current /tv/. Come join us on /film/.

>>1647261

/film/ unironically has bad taste. /tv/ only has bad taste ironically, but you faggots actually like Stan Brakhage.

>>1646398

They better not be shit from Ip Man or some other dumb meme movie.

>>1647398

>Not understanding actual, visual-only film making

Go to sleep, timmy

>>1647261

The Bey Logan commentaries?

>>1617463

Damnit o.o finish your list before this thread dies

#2 - Ip Man (2008)

Never before has extreme real-life hatred being channelled as successfully into movies as it has in Chinese films containing the Japs, and you’ll notice there’s several films in this list with this backstory. The Ip Man films take more and more liberties with the truth as they go along and eventually became Chinese Nationalist nonsense (ironic because Ip Man himself fled from the Commies), but this first entry remains the best by far. Donnie Yen taking on 10 guys at once remains the absolute highlight of this series, and one of the best fight scenes of all-time.

>>1648409

pretty retarded how all of them wait for their turn to take a beating.

>>1648467

That mouth-goo thing at the beginning is gross, but good fight/s.

M8 you need too pot faster, this thread could fall off the catalog.

>>1648409

I watched this film with my father, but didn't remember this fight happening until i rewatched this.

>>1648441

Maybe it's some honor thing?

>>1650597

Threads take 3 days to fall off the catalogue, i think we'll be fine Anon.

>>1648467

Not Bloodsport. Entire list is complete dogshit.

>>1647401

Whelp

>>1648409

You're officially a joke OP.

>>1648409

Donnie Yen is a tryhard if there ever was one–he's the Chinese equivalent of Stephen Seagal. This scene is full of shitty jump cuts and you can hardly tell what the fuck is going on. Why are you trolling us, OP?

>>1648409

>#2 - Ip Man

Come on, son

#1 better be a world taker

And finally, after a momentous 3 week journey we've finally arrived at our number one martial arts fight scene…

DRUM ROLL PLEASE…

….

….

1. The Young Master (1980)

And here it is, Anons. The culmination of our efforts and the one you’ve all been waiting for. One Korean in particular stands head and shoulders above the rest as the greatest fighter ever to appear on our screens. He only appeared in a few films and this was by far his best fight scene, a 20-minute fight where Jackie gets the absolute shit beaten out of him time and time again. Jackie starred and directed this one, and this is the movie where he firmly established himself as a master thespian in my humble opinion. Not having any formal martial arts training himself, Jackie’s true skill lied in allowing the people fighting him to convincingly show off their skills as he gets beaten to a pulp. This fight scene took 3 months to film in total!

>>1652449

Pretty good. Not a bad #1 choice. I was expecting something much worse tbh.

>>1652449

>Publishing in progress… Publication of this video is in progress, it will be available soon.

It's says this but, #14 >>1631643 still says the same! While being posted 11 days ago! How long does dailymotion take too "publish" a video?

>>1651571

>>1652452

Bloodsport?

JCVD?

>>1625367

What was the purpose of that ground drawing? Was he planing too do a Naruto-style summoning jitsu? lol

Is there any videos of real martial artists trying too kill each other? There's only films or tournaments, I'll settle for any real melee fight between too professionals. No Worldstar-tier shit.

>>1652785

Check it now Anon

>>1652452

You did your top 50 fight scenes (with some obvious troll pics near the top), but you didn't actually do the top full martial arts kino. What are the best martial arts films as compete movies?

>>1652576

TOP 50 MARTIAL ARTS ENDINGS

>>1652851

The list would be fairly similar with the omission of films that only get good right at the end. Also much more Shaw Bros. Maybe a list for the future.

>>1652840

How does that work?

>>1652449

I think the video on >>1632218 is right. Jackie's films are exceptional because he conveys how hurt he is getting as the fight carry's on. His comedic style adds variety and entertainment too the fights that would only be kicks and punches otherwise.

>>1648467

How is this a hint?

>>1652907

Warhammer is a faggot universe with faggot fans.

>>1652980

no u

>>1652452

>JCVD is not kino

Your only notable flaw, other than that this was a great thread buddy, appreciated

>>1652980

It has potential to be great with the right director.

>>1652980

Underrated post.

>>1648467

What is this from?

Any action scene in Snyderkino.
