Are they any good.  Are the only good ones with Jackie Chan and Jet Lee?

Was there a golden age and what recommendations would ye have?
(and yes, I've seen Kung Fu Panda)

The Bruce Lee era was the golden age I reckon. But there are some classics even before his time. I remember seeing one, late one night it was just spectacular. All live action no CGI like Crouching Tiger. It was incredible. Didnt catch its name though.
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

Yes, no CGI which is amazing.  I particularly like the end of credit showing of the out takes.  Real action and you'd wonder how they don't kill themselves.

The squinted eye

I cannot stand Jackie Chan Movies, i just dont find him funny.

The best movie i have seen for fighting is Ong Bak with Tony Jaa, no cgi or wire work. His fight scenes are unreal

The Claw


his holiness nb

The Bruce Lee era rules.

"Hero" is also very good for a modern one, as is Kill Bill volume one!!

Ask me holy bollix

The Iceman

Return to the 36th Chamber - classic movie with Gordon Lou

Bruce Lee's movies were amazing but Gordon was the star at the time for me
I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight
