This movie kicked complete and total ass. 

 

Suspension of disbelief was required on a major level

We're talking kung fu movies here, right? Belief is not only suspended but thrown out the door.

[Squirrel]

No question.

The Last Dragon

Martial Arts Movies I grew up with as a kid. Saved the best for last.

Jesus, going right to Bruce Lee? It's like some of you have never Kung Fu'd before. Pstall is right on the money. "I like reggae! Bob Marley is the best!"

 

That said, I like ...

 

Master of the Flying Guillotine

Shaolin Soccer

IP Man

Dirty Ho

Oh, come on.  Bruce Lee is to martial arts movies what John Wayne is to westerns.  Hard to imagine there'll ever be anyone quite big enough to fill his shoes.

 

But with that said, there are indeed plenty of great martial arts movies not starring Bruce Lee.  I'd never argue otherwise.

Thread ends right here. 

 

 

Great film.  Many times I have gotten high and watched this movie in my teen years. Best to smoke in the marina scene with the cool flute music

Star power means nothing in terms of plot and acting. This is about greatest film, not most popular.
