Armor of god
best Shaw brothers movie?
>>87183967
Heroes of the East. Lau Kar Leung, Gordon Liu, and one of the greatest chopsocky plots of all time as far as excuses to have awesome fights are concerned. It's one of the rare old HK movies where you get to see Japanese styles in action alongside kung fu.
For great swordplay choreography, check out The Blade (Tsui Hark's frenetic remake of the Shaw Bros' classic One-Armed Swordsman) or John Woo's early wuxia flick Last Hurrah For Chivalry. They both have at least one scene guaranteed to make your jaw drop.

is there a MA star that i should know about? like someone who had his own style and a slew of good movies that nobody talks about?
Obligatory but both Drunken Master movies with Jackie Chan. Master of the Flying Guillotine, Magnificent Butcher, Fearless, Fist of Legend, and the first 2 Ong Baks

Lau Kar Leung, previously mentioned, is a master of SoChina styles and is always entertaining and also educational. If you like Shaw Bros you should watch all of his flicks.
Do you know Hwang Jang Lee? Also, Zhao Changjun has a few good ones. I feel like Sammo is massively underrated as well.

Please watch Last Hurrah for Chivalry. It's so great.
Swordsman 2 is my favorite wuxia.
