Do you enjoy old Kung Fu films?

I love the The Flying Guillotine (1974)

Other than Bruce Lee movies, I haven't watched any Kung-Fu movies in a very long time. The last time I watched them was when the USA Network aired Kung-Fu Theater in the 1980's and I loved that. If I recall correctly, it aired on Sunday right before the WWF.

Wow...really????????

I'd love to check it out...

Links to where I might see that...or where could I buy a DVD?

^ Hector, for a long time most of the footage that Bruce Lee filmed for the game of death was lost. Around a decade or so ago, it was found (accidentally, I believe). I have a Special Edition of "Enter The Dragon" that also includes all of the "Game of Death" footage shoot by Bruce. It's well put together. Also, it may, now, be available through other releases...I'm not sure. If you haven't already seen it, it's worth seeing.

I also love the Japanese samurai flicks. Aside from the serious Akira Kurosawa films...I also dig the more fantastical ones like Lone Wolf and Cub...those are awesome...

[Hector]

As a kid...I think my favorite was Master of the Flying Guillotine, must've seen it like at least 20 times, lol.

It's prequel, One Armed Boxer...is pretty good too.

Five Fingers of Death, another good one.

Jackie Chan's Drunken Master is a classic...

Game of death has good parts, obviously the ones with Bruce Lee. But he died during filming, the movie is unfurnished...the scenes with the double are laughable...I cannot in good conscious list Game of Death as my favorite.

I really love Enter the Dragon...his biggest and most epic film...the one who made him a true worldwide superstar outside China.

My favorite stand alone Bruce Lee fight is against Chuck Norris in Way of the Dragon (aka Return of the Dragon)...that climatic fight was one for the ages, truly awesome.

A local station should two every Saturday, it was also called Kung Fu Theatre. I loved them. Saw some of Jackie Chan's earliest movies on there, before I even knew who he was. Prior to that it had been horror movies (mostly Hammer and Universal) which I also loved.

I like Fist of The White Lotus and Mr. Vampire... and I'll watch pretty much anything with Gordon Liu or the Shaw Brothers logo.

I don't remember titles but I used to watch them every weekend.

My fav was the one where Bruce Lee going up the different levels of the building fighting people (forgot the title)

Game of Death, yes that was a good one.

Kung Fu movie week was always my favorite as a kid. Enter the Dragon will always be my absolute favorite.

Remember Kung Fu theater on USA Network back in the 80s.? Are you a genre fan? What's your favorite title? I recently saw The 36th Chamber of Shaolin at a revival theater in Hollywood.
