Jet Li's Fearless

Kickboxer
Bloodsport
are amongst my favorites. I got nothing to do today so I think I'll watch a bunch of martial arts movies. Just need some help in thinking some movies to watch. Hopefully something I have never seen before. Thanks.
Can anyone recommend some truly GOOD martial arts flicks?
"The Black Mask" is a good Jet Li movie.
But you should really go to the source of ALL Martial Arts movies. You probably think I'm going to say Bruce Lee, and he was phenominal, but the fella I have in mind is, the one, the only,
Sonny Chiba. If you saw "Kill Bill, Part 2", Sonny Chiba was the swordsmith who swore a blood oath to never make another sword until Kiddo showed up and mentioned Bill's name. In the 60s and 70s, Chiba made a series of some of the grittiest Martial Arts movies ever filmed, "the Streetfighter" series, which include, "The Streetfighter", the Return of the Streetfighter" and "The Streetfighter's Last Revenge". Tarantino's character in "True Romance", the one played by Christian Slater, is going on and on at the beginning of THAT movie about Chiba.
"The Streetfighter" movies are Chinese productions, badly dubbed, but somehow fascinating nonetheless, maybe because the stunts are so godawful dangerous and they do the scene anyway, one take, winner takes all. I dont even want to think how many of the stunt fighters got killed or badly injured in some of the fights, (while other "action fights" are so obviously choreographed as to be completely distracting). All the icons (and, at this point, cliches, except THESE are where the cliches got their START) of the Oriental gangs. These movies are bloody, but I promise you, the series will make you look at Jet Li and Jackie Chan in a whole new light.

Your Most Hated Movies?
A lot of people ask what your favourite movie is, so I'll ask....
What's you worst movies?
Mines are........
You, Me and Dupree (Still my most hated movie ever)
Night at the Museum (Pure cheese)
The Matrix Revolutions %26amp; The Matrix Reloaded (People could once admit they liked The Matrix before these sequels ruined it.)
The Patriot (Not the crappy Steven segal movie, but the crappy Mel Gibson movie. I think he's defeated the entire English army one too many)
Kung Fu Hustle (.........)
Anyway, what's yours?
Thanks

Dragon Ball Movie question?
Is there really a live action Dragon Ball movie in the works? I have been seeing several sites, each with different castings and release dates. So is there any truth to this movie?
And if such a movie is being created would it be original? Because the "Matrix" and "Kung Fu Hustle" already feature action similar to that of the DBZ series.
Dragon Ball Movie question?
attack of the show said some of the people casted for the live action movie how true it is i don't know
Reply:Yup. Twentieth Century Fox is behind the movie, and filming's already started in Canada.
It'll be original in the sense that it's a new Dragonball movie, but as far as the action goes, well, it'll probably be been-there-done-that.
Reply:it is in the works but for as how is the cast i dont know they are kinda keeping it secret i guess not all have been revealed it comes out about 15 auguest this year supposidly we will see wont we
Reply:Yes sir, there will be a DB movie (not the absence of a Z) It is scheduled to be released summer 2009 i think (May have to double check that). It will be made by the people who made Kung-fu hustle so that will be awesome and they have already cast Justin Chatwin (war of the worlds) as Goku, James Marsters (buffy the vampire slayer) as Piccolo, Emmy Rossum (Harry Potter) as Bulma, Jamie Chung (the real world) as Chi Chi, Chow Yun Fat (do I even have to say) as Master Roshi, and Joon Park (unknown) as Yamcha. I have mixed feelings about the cast except piccolo because I think James Marsters will be awesome as him.
