With the help of a Thai-born Australian detective, Kham must take on all comers, including a gang led by an evil woman and her two deadly bodyguards.If you thought Ong-Bak's plot was bad wait till you see this movie! But when Tony does his thing it is amazing! Highlights-Tony staircase fight and Tony vs. multiple attackers in the finale! I think Tony burnt himself out after making this movie. Because Ong-Bak 2 and 3 are not his best.

With little means of providing for themselves, Ip Man and the remaining members of the city must find a way to survive.One of the best movies to represent the best of Donnie Yen. In terms of martial art ability and acting skills. This movie was so good that Donnie could have retired from film making after this one and been content. Highlight-Donnie vs. 10 karate fighters! Don't Blink!
- DirectorWoo-Ping YuenStarsRongguang YuDonnie YenJean WangA martial artist/doctor steals from the corrupt authorities as a masked thief to give to the poor while another martial artist/doctor is forced to hunt him down.

- DirectorWei LoChia-Hsiang WuStarsBruce LeeMaria YiJames TienA young man sworn to an oath of non-violence works with his cousins in an ice factory where they mysteriously begin to disappear.Real name is the Big Boss. Bruce's real movie debut. Really low budget movie with dated fight choreography, but when Bruce finally cuts loose you see how he was totally ahead of his time. Make sure you watch the uncut big boss version only. Highlight-Bruce lee LOL!
- DirectorWei LoStarsBruce LeeNora MiaoJames TienA young man seeks vengence for the death of his teacher.Real name Fist of Fury. I rank this as one on the greatest kung fu movies of all time! Not only is the story memorable but in my opinion Bruce Lee's best movie bar none. Highlight-Bruce vs Karate fighters with rarely on screen weapons Nunchakus! Simply a true classic that keeps being remade today!
- DirectorBruce LeeStarsBruce LeeChuck NorrisNora MiaoA man visits his relatives at their restaurant in Italy and has to help them defend against brutal gangsters harassing them.Bruce Lee's Director Debut! Bruce was so good at playing the country bumpkin/underdog. Which made you cheer for him when he beats the crap out of pestering gang members. Bruce at top of his game here, even throwing in some comedic moments as well. Highlight-Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris nuff said!

Big Budget, Colorful, Great fights, Introducing Jim kelly and Bolo Yeung, Bruce fighting with multiple weapons, great finale fight ect. ect. Simply timeless and classic. Enter the Dragon will always remain a fan favorite around the world. Bruce you will be missed. Highlight-Bruce fighting underground thugs.

Meanwhile, the crime boss sends his top henchmen to put an end to their dirty schemes.Entertaining! Sammo Hung at his best here in terms of acting and fighting ability dispite his age and weight! This movie is more of a cop drama that took me by surprise when the fights starting happening. Donnie yen also in top form here while introducing another talent by the name of Jacky Wu. Highlight-Donnie vs. Jacky in alley way! Highly Recomended!
- DirectorGordon ChanStarsJet LiShinobu NakayamaSiu-Ho ChinIn 1937, a Chinese martial artist returns to Shanghai to find his teacher dead and his school harassed by the Japanese.A remake of Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury, many consider this to be Jet's best film.
