They either build a cabinet or kill you? I'll take the first. ;D

Oh, I could live in this thread... ;D
I often wonder how much "Master of the Flying Guillotine" influenced the original designers of Street Fighter II...
Has anyone here seen the much less known (and significantly worse) "Fatal Flying Guillotine"?
"The Legend of Drunken Master" as the US got it (just plain ol' Drunken Master 2 to everyone else) is not a perfect movie, but it is certainly Jackie's best martial arts performance. There's a reason he chose to bring that style back in "The Forbidden Kingdom." NOBODY does Drunken Fist like Jackie Chan...
Five Venoms is another masterpiece. Great "gateway" movie for people who are on the fence about kung fu mivies in general...
No one has mentioned "Shaolin vs. Wu Tang", or "Lords of Wu-Tang" so I'll add them in...
That Thai movie "Chocolate" looks like it's going to be really interesting!
Ultimately, if I hadn't seen the great Bruce Lee flick "Fists of Fury" ("Chinese Connection" in the US, the movie which inspired Jet Li's "Fist of Legend") back when I was 6 years old(!), I wouldn't be training in martial arts today... hell, I might not have even become an actor!
Ginsu Victim:
Yesterday Dragon Dynasty finally released a proper uncut DVD of Tai Chi Master (known as Twin Warriors in its previous American edition).
Picked it up today to replace my old VHS.
Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, and Chin Siu Ho directed by Yuen Wo-Ping.....how can you go wrong?

The only one I remember from that time was one
where the hero used bamboo reeds to fight...
kinda like rope, he wouldn't use it like a whip, but
but move so fast he tied his opponents up
to some scaffolding...
darn if I can't remember the name of it...

Hard to say. I think one of Liu's flicks had something like this. Maybe 36th chamber, actually. Also, I think a 90s flick had one where this kid early in the movie develops this kind of thing by the time he's into his teens or early 20s. Can't remember the name of it, but one of the 'techniques' of his family is to 'train' his pony tail.
