What's your favorite OLDSTYLE kung fu flick?
Grasshopper:
A couple more well worth watching:
The Prodigal Son (some very authentic looking Wing Chun makes up for the terrible dubbing)
The Silent Flute (one of my favourites - preposterous but incredibly cool at the same time, and written by Bruce Lee and James Coburn!)
Ummon:
No no, I set that range because anything after that is generally a different thing. Especially anything in the 90's, especially anything of Jet Li's. Some neat stuff there, too, but way more intense effects-wise, and some of it a little over the top. Of course, it could be argued that old style really peaked and sort of ended with Bruce Lee's last flick, but I don't really think of his stuff cos I didn't ever like his sorta John Wayne-ish fighting style in the movies.
Looking back, I don't know WHY they tried to lip-sync the dubbing. I've never anywhere else seen that, so where did THAT idea come from? They actually could've really written some good dialogue if not for that.

There ya go. Yeah. 36th chamber and many of those - Gordon Liu. Also something I'd not realised, is in Fist of the White Lotus, one of the main things is that he learns 'pulses' and that's how he's healed after a fight with White Lotus, and how he then beats him. I mean, not the same story as Crouching Tiger, but a major plot element that was in a movie long before it.
Some of those others posted I'll have to check out.
Ginsu Victim:
Some of them I posted just because I like them, not because they're that great or anything.
Mainly referring to Shaolin Drunkards (a Yuen Woo Ping film) which is kind of funny, and Old Dirty Kung Fu starring Simon Yuen (the old man from Drunken Master and many other drunken boxing films).
