im going to rent a kung fu movie i would like it to be with Bruce lee but i dont now which ones are good could you recomend someone please?

Good Kung-fu movie? Isn't that an oxymoron?

i have never ever in my life heard the word oxymoron what the F*** is that?

*Makes angry gestures and mouths words while kung-fu chopping a rubber duck in the air* -Dubbing-I AGREE!-Dubbing-

Try "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" thats a fantastic film, Jackie Chan's films are fun too but they really isn't kung-fu.

Edit-"oxymoron", a statement which contradicts itself (I think). Like "peace through power" and... no other one comes to mind maybe, "real mystical creatures".

seen very many jackie chan movies seen crouching tiger hidden tiger 3 times now [img]smile.gif[/img] i want crazy bruce lee kung fu movies [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] whats his best movie?

Zu - Warriors From The Magic Mountain
Bride With White Hair
Bride With White Hair 2
Once Upon A Time In China
The Postman Fights Back
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Wu Tang Death Squad

There are hundreds but it's hard to seperate the good from the cheese.

The best you will find are the Bride With White Hair movies hands down, followed closely by Zu Warriors From The Magic Mountain and Crouching Tiger.

I'm not a huge martial arts movie fan, but I recomend "Enter the Dragon" and "Return of the Dragon" for good Bruce Lee movies.

BTW-Did you know there is a movie forum on IW? This kinda question may belong over here...

Shaolin Soccer is quite a good recent kungfu-spoof, though you may have to have a weird sense of humour to really appreciate it. So wrong on so many accounts, horribly over-the-top and yet it's got something hilarious about it because of all that.
About the only kungfu-related movie I've ever bothered to watch till the end, btw. ;)

Not to be confused with "paradox," which is a set of two proximate places where one can moor a boat. ;)

Oh, movie suggestion:
The Seven Samurai. Not really a Kung Fu flick but good.

Jackie Chan?

My favorite Jackie Chan movie was The Big Brawl (1980) directed by Robert Clouse (Enter The Dragon). I don't know if it is available on DVD or tape, but I do like it the most of all his films.

No Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan ownz! You should rent Shanghai Noon, Rush Hour, Supercop, Mr. Nice Guy just some movie with him cause they own. They're so funny too [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Oxymorons are two or more words that are mutually exclusive, like jumbo shrimp, or military intelligence.

</font>[/QUOTE]Actually an oxymoron is a figure of speech where you are using a word combined with its opposite to emphasize it.
e.g. a love-hate relationship
more lenient use of the word refers to any group of opposing terms

"contradiction in itself" is "paradox"

"peace through power" does not seem very paradox or oxymoronic to me
Why would peace be the opposite to power? It's very powerful in my experience!

Only thing I can remember about these sayings is
"Fighting for Peace is like
F*****g for virginity"

Can you understand Chinese ( kantonese )? I got lots of recommendation here.

A good kung fu movie tip.....
don't call it "Bullet Proof Monk"... and certainly don't have Sean William Scott as your lead actor (Stiffler of American Pie fame).
Is anyone really going to take that film seriously?
lol.... I just laughed when the announcer seriously pronounced "Bullet Proof Monk"... Classic stuff.

Eh? Chow Yung Fat is a great actor! [img]tongue.gif[/img] I wouldnt mind seeing that movie...

Anyway, some good Kung Fu movies
Once upon a time in china
Fong Sai Yuk (I think thats how you spell it...)
A Man Called Hero
Storm Riders
Vertually any other early Jet Lee and mid-carrer Jackie Chan films (Operation A parts one and 2 arent bad Jackie movies.)
And the greatest Kung Fu film of all time is Drunken Master 2!

all the movies you mentioned lovisa i seen except Super cop never seen it anywhere

YAY IM AN AVATAR LOOK [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

For Bruce Lee movies I recommend The Game of Death and Enter the Dragon. Both great movies [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I never said Chow Yun-Fat wasn't a good actor. I've seen him in some seriously good films (most notably Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), but this film looks downright terrible... I just checked out some reviews on rottentomatoes.com, and of 106 reviews, only 19 actually liked it (thats 18%).. btw they're actually pro reviews.

not meaning to flame you or anything... its only my opinion that its going to be a poor film, and I'm only basing that on the preview I saw of it in the cinemas. It was just a joke with my friends.

repeat: Chow Yun-Fat is a top actor.

I went and saw BULLET PROOF MONK and enjoyed it okay. I mean, it ain't Shakespeare, but it was a decent 90 minutes of a movie.

The fight scenes are good. And, the woman is a hottie. What all do you want in a movie?

I just saw it this weekend at our local second-run movie house and while it's not a 4 star movie, it was entertaining and worth the $3 I paid to see it.

I repeat:

Bride With White Hair and Bride With White Hair 2

I might have to go check it out.
Sorry if I offended anyone, I was just looking at it from a humorous point of view... Glad you guys enjoyed the film though [img]smile.gif[/img]

edit: I'm going to go and see "2 fast 2 furious"... so you may get the impression I'm not looking for a brilliant story in every film I go and see. Fast cars, Hot ladies... hehe

Have you seen Sean William Scott in any of his other roles?
