What's your favorite OLDSTYLE kung fu flick?
Ummon:
Those of us who grew up during the golden age of video games also saw the arrival of cable in every neighborhood and with it the various channels that would have all sorts of candy for a young boy. One of them was USA's Sunday morning KUNG FU THEATRE. Another one on our service was KTTV's (L.A.) Saturday afternoon BLACK BELT THEATRE.
All through junior high, I pretty religiously watched these, alternating between them, as for a time one would show the older and cheesier flicks, then they for some uknown reason would switch. I fancied myself a connisseur of the finest kung fu flicks of the time, and me and my brother and even this older kid would watch these and 'incorporate' the styles we saw into our for-fun fighting.
I don't remember many of the titles, but two that have stuck in my mind are The Spearman of Death, and The Fists of White Lotus, the latter being my all-time favorite (especially as it stars Gordon Liu, my fave dude in these movies). So, a few years ago, I searched Ebay for The Fists of White Lotus - and I found it! And tonight I've been watching it again after a long break. Of course some of it is flat out ridiculous. But some of the really hardcore fighting still gets my goose.
What's your fave from that time (75-83)?

Maybe it's a cliche but Enter the Dragon is still one of my favorites.
