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

Some years ago when I was getting back into kung fu flicks and checking out newer ones, I meant to see this/these, but didn't get around to it. I like Yeoh. She's just a great actress. And I prefer any non-American movie in its original language. I originally saw Ghost in the Shell in Japanese, and, in combination with the subtitles, the vocalizations were outstanding.

Master of the Flying Guillotine was flat out bad ass.

If you haven't seen it, then it is required viewing.

seen. Probably Jackies best choeography/movements ever filmed. Simply
jaw dropping)

My vote too... might be my favorite movie period.
Ginsu Victim:
Though not Kung Fu, also check out "Ong Bak", "The Protector" ("Tom Yung Goong"), and coming soon, "Ong Bak 2" and "Chocolate".

I think I remember Flying Guillotine. I think I'm going to revise the time period to 78-83. One thing I didn't like about the punching sound effects in the 70s was they sounded like a 'shung'. Like someone was slamming a metal hatch. But the 'TSCH, TSCH, TSCH' of the next era sounded more like you were hitting somebody.
Of course, these are fun, but ultimately I think the more aggressive fighting styles of the pacific islands and such are more effective as the intent is to meet briefly and instantly mame or kill. Then of course you have those monks in Tibet or whatever who can just touch you and paralyse or kill.
