I might have to just get them if you recommend them.
American Ninja was awesome.
One of my favorite drive in flicks: Revenge Of The Ninja

I forgot to say thanks for the list Chris. In appreciation I dug up this review of Kill and Kill Again from Amazon.com. I don't remember the fight scenes being as bad as this guy claims but his review is one of the funniest I've ever read. Enjoy!

This film is soooooooooo bad I almost asked for my money back at the video store. I admit I like to watch bad movies for fun, but this one is truly pittiful. "Some of the best martial art action sequences ever"?????!!!!! Thats like comparing They Call Me Bruce to Drunken Master. James Ryan and his cohorts pull off martial arts stunts that are sadly, probably near the skill level of any overweight 10 year old. Imagine going down to the local supermarket and randomly recruiting 10 people to star in a martial arts film regardless of physical ability or skill and you'll be close to this movie.

OUCH!!!
No...no it wasn't that bad...
If anyone here wants to give me 2 or 3 examples of martial art movies you really love, I'd probably be able to target some ones you haven't seen that you'd be safe just buying...for instance, peeps who love Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon should probably go for Hero, whereas peeps who love Enter The Dragon should check out Rapid Fire, and so on...

In terms of choreography, I'll go with Drunken Master II.
But for a personal favorite, House of Flying Daggers was exciting, and just so visually lush.
For American movies, I've always had a soft spot for Best of the Best.

Hero, Jet Li film.
Fantastic story, exceptional visuals, and stunning martial arts.

I kinda like the second, though it is certainly more generic in plot and style (didn't like 3 at all, and skipped 4).
But the ending to the first chokes me up every time. How many movies out there end with the villain appologizing, and giving the hero a hug? As cheesy as it sounds, it totally works!

Maggie Q made a movie called 'Naked Weapon' ?

Hey Chris...Why do you have 'Hero' (LOVE IT) but you FORGOT 'House of Flying Daggers' ?
