Dragon Tiger Gate was the s**t!!! What a cool comic book-like movie! If you liked 2002 or Avenging Fist (two other cool HK fistfests I love) you'll groove to this one too. Now I have to buy it....
Donnie Yen does it again!

Gorramit Chris. Now I may have to resubscribe to BBOnline. Too many movies I still want to see that are never in at the video store.

Blockbuster online? You can always just take my word for it and just buy movies I recommend from Amazon or HKFLIX...

Well, there's one that won't be in at my Blockbuster...my rental receipt says I can own Dragon Tiger Gate for "Only $14.99 more", and that makes it the cheapest way to purchase it!!!!! (Don't fret for anyone here- they got 2 copies for rent, and I'll bet I'm the only kung-fu nut in this part of Mass that's even heard of this movie anyway...).

Am I the only one who remembers American Ninja? Or did I miss it in a previous post?

Holy crap! I haven't thought about that one in years. Actually forced my mom to take me to see it in the theatre. The fight scenes were actually pretty good which is saying something because I don't think Micheal Dudikoff had a lick of martial arts training going into the film.

Chris, make a list and I'll try to follow some of your recommendations. I haven't been keeping up with martial arts films for a good long while. I mean I've seen the more popular ones over the last few years but I'm sure a great deal more have slipped past unnoticed.

Not in the theatre but on HBO. Perhaps I lose points for that. Steve Chase may have been the hero but my favorite character was The Fly.
