Old kung fu movies.

[Kruniac]

Watching Descendants of Wing Chun. Before that it was 18 Deadly Weapons of Kung Fu.

Anyone else like those old cheesy kung fu movies?

I wouldn't call it cheesy. Old Kung fu movies started the idea of martial arts being wonderful. MMA reduced martial arts into trash. MMA is cheesy.

Okay, granted. MMA is "cheesy". I meant the carefully choreographed fight sequences are "cheesy". But it's still amazing to watch, even after all of this time.

Watching Ten Tigers of Kwangtung now.

Some of my Favs:

Ran
Shogun Assassin (Lone Wolf and Cub)
Seven Samurai
Afro Samurai
Zatoichi


edit:  these may not be the 'old' ones you speak of.  these are less cheesy than old chinese kung fu flicks.

Seven Samurai is simply amazing.

Shogun T.V Mini Series ( Release date: 1980 )

Think of it like Game of Thrones in Japan but with less swearing/sex and more beheadings It's not kung fu but it's very good regardless and has some fight scenes in it, now I think about it, it probably needs a different thread but it's a good series nonetheless.

I wouldn't call it cheesy.

I would.

I still love the magnificent sound effects. And at least in the old VHS days, all movies I found were badly dubbed in English.

Oh god. I thought "mainstream" kung fu movies had bad dubbing. Watch the more "obscure" ones. Or just all of the Shaw brothers films.

Typically, any time the characters are dubbed with English accents, it's going to be horrible. But that's what makes it awesome, among other things.

Eh. I wasn't going crazy about him. Besides, this was more about things like Snake in Monkey's Shadow or Tiger Claws.
