For some reason, I read the title as "Whats your favorite OLDSTYLE kung fu KICK" and was thinking "How the heck do I know what the different kicks are called?"

Ss-ss-ss-ss-ss-ss-ss.

Xiaou2, I think Rumble in the Bronx is '80, so it qualifies. A lot of those others don't, though. Yeah, Liu was pretty cool. Have you ever heard one of his flicks un-dubbed? Oh my god, he has this high male voice. Well, seems they all do, and they sound like a bunch of geese in heat! I remember the kids back in college sounded the same. Egads.

Xiaou2:

 Now that you mention it... Im not so sure if Ive heard Liu unedited.  Ill have to check it out.

 I once went to a  Chinese Opera  here.   They train to sing in a very high and unusual
voice. It was very strange.   The acrobatics were incredible however.

 Personally, I try to watch the originals when I can.   For example,  I saw Crouching Tiger before
it was dubbed english.   I dont mind the subtitles.     I later saw the english dubbed version, and
I was horrified.    The little girl was supposed to be portrayed at being like 12 yrs old I think.
However... they used an older woman to do her voice... and it totally didnt match her character
at all.   I literally cant stand to watch that movie in english.

 However,  there are some movies which I prefer in english... such as  Wing Chun.   The translation
is actually more comical...  and the voices are very well suited to the characters.  :)

sez:
Japanese Ghost Story - one of my favourites.

No, not Supercop. Supercop is the sequel to Police Story.
