What's wrong with YOU?

OB2 is good, but it tried too hard to be an everything-and-the-kitchen-sink movie and went all over the place.

3 was watchable, but was a part of 2 that they cut out for lengh and added some scenes to make it it's own movie. It shows.

The Rebel (Viet movie)

Historical spy/martial arts/low-key horror magic movie.

The original version has more of the dark magic thing. The international one cuts a lot of it out of the movie and that can make it a little hard to understand for some people (bad guy uses iron shirt technique to resist being cut by knifes, for example, and gets crazier and physically sick from using the dark arts)

It's not wuxia-like at all. It's more in the vein of Ong Bak and "realisitc" (dark magic notwithstanding) in it's depiction of fighting.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=534Csl0FIoU

It's with one of the bad guy in The Protector (Johnny Nguyen, the guy who was the Spidey stunt double in Spider-Man 2)

I still don't understand the love for Ong Bak. I thought the directing/editing was garbage, the acting even worse, and the fights felt super unimpressive. I was just completely bored throughout the entire thing.

He literally does the same exact thing in Ong Bak 1

Literally every stunt Tony Jaa does in his later movies are from Ong Bak 1.

It what annoys me so much.

The thing with Enter The Chamber is that you see this guy getting experience, learning, in interesting ways, and that's what makes the movie so different. The fights are pretty much the same everywhere, on the other hand Enter The Dragon is just badass, great style.

It's not so much a secret as a technique you need to start trainging for as a kid.

It's usually a Sumo thing though. They take a hot bath after to get the nuts to go back down.

Yeah. They get to testicles up behind the bones of the cervix or something using massages (lol) and they get them to come back down with hot water. It's something they have to start doing before puberty though.

ITT: Lots of good movies but not a single person names the greatest Kung Fu movie of all time.

First off, a lot of what is being listed here are not Kung Fu movies. Just because chinese guys use unarmed martial arts to fight doesn't make it a Kung Fu movie. That's an action movie with Kung Fu. Jackie Chan (mostly) makes action movies with Kung Fu. Jet Li (mostly) makes action movies with Kung Fu. Good shit, sure, but not a Kung Fu movie.

A Kung Fu movie has a few pillars it absolutely cannot compromise on. These are:
>Kung Fu disciplines competing for which style/school is best
>Scenes dedicated to learning the basics of Kung Fu, including the philosphy
>A villain or rival that also uses Kung Fu

Bonus points for:
>No drunken style bullshit
>glorious 80s dub and soundtrack
>father-son schools
>jealous peers shitting on MC

Okay so with that all in mind, what is the greatest Kung Fu movie of all time? Legend of a Fighter. It's on youtube in full, with a great dub. Go watch it if you haven't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_P39Oiy_e4

>that mysterious character introduced early
>the nerdy son that embarrasses his father
>that son finding redemption through hard work and commitment
>high level Chi techniques
>solid comedy
>solid sense of time passing
>classic shitting on whitey scenes
>god tier fight scenes with unique moves that catch you off guard
>light philosophy thrown in across the whole arc of the movie to show you never stop learning
>one of the best, most intense endings in cinema
>>
>>81433614
>Action choreography equivalent to drunken meatheads fisting each other

Wew
>>
>>81432427
You know the rules.
>>
>>81432350
I can't believe no-one has mentioned Meals on Wheels. Kino Jackie Chan.
>>
the grandmaster
>>
>>81434859
>bones of the cervix or something

Uh... I never knew those particular bones extended that far.
>>
>>81436493
That's notable mostly for having the single best fight scene ever recorded on film
