Unlike one-hit wonder Carl Douglas from whom I’m borrowing this list title, great martial arts movie stars and fight choreographers (particularly those from the fertile film-ground of Hong Kong) have contributed a lot to Western cinema.

Whether or not you’re a fan of the martial arts genre of movies, just about every modern action movie with fast paced, tightly choreographed fight scenes—either bare handed or with guns a-blazin’—owes something to techniques developed on the other side of the planet. Without that great Eastern influence, we’d have more ofthis and less of this, though occasionally the two come together and lead to strange abominations like 1994’s Undefeatable or the string of rip-off McDojos that sprang up nationwide in the wake of The Karate Kid (It’s ok, ghost of Pat Morita, I know it’s not your fault).

But instead of dwelling on those less than stellar examples of cultural exchange or that infamous Indiana Jones scene, check out this list of the 10 Best Martial Arts Movies.

10. Kung Fu Panda
I knew either DreamWorks’ Kung Fu Panda or Stephen Chow’s Kung Fu Hustle had to sit at the 10 spot. Both movies punctuate their light-hearted, comedic tone with surprisingly poignant moments and both are almost nonstop homages to a giant list of truly classic Kung Fu films, often scene by scene. In the end, I had to give it toKung Fu Panda as the more tightly constructed film, though really, they both might as well share this spot with the sheer amount of love for the genre that comes through when watching either film. Jack Black voices Po’s (totally awesome) journey from bumbling martial arts fanboy to unlikely hero with such sincerity that it’s hard not to get swept along, especially given the equally strong performances by Dustin Hoffman as the perpetually exasperated Master Shifu and Ian McShane as the menacing Tai Lung.

9.Drunken Master II
1994’s Drunken Master II (released in the US as The Legend of Drunken Master) is Jackie Chan’s best movie by far—it has everything that makes him uniquely awesome as a martial-arts movie star and each of his prime elements (fluidity of motion/technique, comedic timing, sheer athleticism) is showcased better than in any of his other films, including the original 1978 Drunken Master (starring a much younger Jackie Chan). Chan stars as Chinese folk hero Wong Fei Hung who utilizes his Zui Quan (Drunken Boxing) skills to stop the corrupt British consul who is illegally exporting Chinese artifacts out of the country. While nearly all the action sequences are impressive and memorable, the final fight is a real show-stopper.

8.Master of the Flying Guillotine
I don’t understand how anyone could not be excited after watching that ridiculous trailer for this incredibly ridiculous but absolutely awesome Wuxia classic written/directed by and starring Jimmy Wang. Master of the Flying Guillotine, released in 1976, is a sequel to Wang’s 1971 film One Armed boxer. Here, the blind master of two characters killed in that first film is out for revenge against the one armed protagonist, bringing along his weapon of choice, the completely over-the-top “flying guillotine.” If that short description alone isn’t enough to get you going, the film also features an excellent tournament opening showcasing a wide range of fighting styles from all across Asia. This zany film’s influence cannot be overstated: bits of the soundtrack have been sampled by the Wu Tang Clan, it’s a favorite of Quintin Tarantino (he used the villain’s theme for the appearance of O-Ren Ishii inKill Bill along with the hero’s technique of hiding on the ceiling), and the flying guillotine was even parodied on The Boondocks.

7.Kill Bill Volume 1
Speaking of Tarantino, 2003’s Kill Bill Vol. 1 was both a great movie and a great martial-arts movie that, similarly to Kung Fu Panda/Hustle, paid homage to a ton of classic martial-arts flicks (both Chinese and Japanese) to make a really visceral, offbeat cinema experience unlike any other (well, at least until Vol. 2 came out). Scenes like the incredibly gory but artistic tea house battle with the Crazy 88 or the intensely claustrophobic kitchen showdown are excellent examples of everything that makes a martial arts movie great and when combined with Tarantino’s usual hallmarks, the results are truly transcendent.

6. Ip Man
2008’s Ip Man was finally the moment when the truly excellent but never fairly regarded Donnie Yen came into his own, playing a loosely biographical version of the legendary grandmaster of Wing Chung and teacher of a number of future martial arts masters, one of whom was Bruce Lee. The film takes place in 1930s Foshan (a city famous for martial arts in southern/central China), where the unassuming wing chung master tries to weather the 1937 Japanese invasion and occupation of China peacefully, but is eventually forced into action. Crazy, limb-breaking, face-pulverizing action. This semi-historical film succeeds gloriously both as cinema and as martial arts fan-bait.

5.Hero
Critically acclaimed Chinese director Zhang Yimou’s 2002 wuxia epic Hero is easily the most artistic and visually striking martial arts movie made to date. From fight sequences that skirt between heavy action and surreal fantasy to the color-coded vignette structure of the narrative, there’s a lot to like. Set during the Warring States period, Jet Li plays a nameless warrior in a tale based on Jing Ke’s assassination attempt on the King of Qin in 227 BC. Sitting in the king’s throne room a set number of paces away, the nameless warrior and the king trade stories of the downfall of conspirators that the warrior has pursued. With each convincing story, Li’s character is allowed so many more paces closer to the king. My personal favorite scene? A toss up between the opening fight in the rain or the stunningly beautiful fight on the lake. Martial arts aside, Hero has some of the best cinematography to be seen in any film.

4.Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior
While Hero is the much prettier film, Ong Bak has the better showcase of raw, brutal martial arts. After a decade-long trend toward ever more prominent wire work and special effects, Tony Jaa’s 2003 Thai star vehicle Ong Bak was a return to crazy stunts (all performed by Jaa himself) and hard-hitting action. Featuring a total lack of both wire-fu and CGI of any sort, Ong Bak is incredibly impressive to watch. The story is little more than an excuse to trek across Thailand (both Bangkok and the countryside) in a constant stream of crazy chase sequences and even crazier fights, but the film is so unashamed of what it is that you can’t help but smile and resign yourself to being blown away by some of the most impressive displays of martial arts and physicality in general to come out in the last 10 years or so.

3.Fist of Legend
Jet Li’s 1994 Fist of Legend was a remake of Bruce Lee’s highly influential 1972 filmFist of Fury. While Fury helped shift away from weapons-based Kung Fu movies to bare-handed fighting (setting the stage for the “Golden Era” of Kung Fu films), it was very low budget and hasn’t aged particularly well, especially compared to the next entry on the list. Li’s excellent remake ended up being highly influential in it’s own right: The Wachowski Brothers were impressed enough to hire the choreographer (Yuen Woo-Ping) to handle the fight choreography for The Matrix.Fist of Legend features one of the best dojo-busting scenes of all time, where Jet Li engages a whole room of attackers, and a host of particularly inventive elements such as Li’s incorporation of modern boxing/kickboxing while fighting an old classmate. Li plays Chen Zhen, a Chinese student studying at Kyoto University during the Japanese occupation of China who returns to the mainland suspecting foul play when he hears that his master died after allegedly losing a fight against a local Japanese martial artist.

2.Enter the Dragon
Game of Death might have registered the iconic yellow jumpsuit in the cultural imagination, but Enter the Dragon is easily Bruce Lee’s best and most polished film. Released in 1973, _Enter the Dragon was the first Chinese martial arts film to be produced by a Hollywood studio (with an accompanying Hollywood budget) and it shows. Lee was given a large degree of creative control over the project, revising much of the script and writing and directing the entire Shaolin opening sequence. One of the best things about this film are the equally strong performances from John Saxon as the gambling playboy Roper and Jim Kelly as the afro-adorned, incredibly smooth Williams. Together with Lee’s undercover agent (named “Lee,” of course), the trio are nothing short of captivating, especially in each of their wildly different interactions with the menacing Bond-villian-esque Han, whose private island hosts the deadly martial-arts tournament that makes up the film’s centerpiece. If you’ve somehow never seen this, track down a copy for Jim Kelly’sWilliams alone, one of the most entertaining characters to appear in any martial-arts film.

1.Magnificent Butcher
Originally released in 1979 as Lin Shi Rong, Magnificent Butcher was a labor of love from some of the best martial-arts crew in the business. The portly Sammo Hung delivers his most engaging performance as the bumbling but talented and well-meaning Lam Sai Wing in this Yuen-Woo-ping directed film. There’s so much done right in this movie I don’t even know where to begin. We’ll start here. In that scene, Wing’s master, folk hero Wong Fei Hung defends himself from the ornery competing local master Master Ko in an incredibly inventive and energetic martial arts/caligraphy scene that can only be described as unique. Magnificent Butcherhas everything: surprisingly clever physical comedy, mistaken identity, long lost siblings, two tragic murders, one of the most compelling and satisfying revenge sequences ever filmed, and non-stop displays of old school, incredibly athletic, technical martial arts as two schools collide. If you have any interest in martial arts films at all, it’s an absolute must watch—a true hidden gem.

功夫格鬥：10個最好的武俠電影
不像一個曇花一現的卡爾·道格拉斯從他們那裡，我借這個列表的標題，偉大的功夫影星，爭取編舞（特別是來自香港的電影肥沃地）大量促成了西方電影。

不論你是武術流派的電影，幾乎所有的現代動作電影的粉絲與快節奏，精心設計的打鬥場面，無論是裸手或長槍，blazin'-緣故吧對其他發達國家技術地球的一面。如果沒有這種偉大的東方的影響，我們就會有更多的這樣的少這個，雖然偶爾兩個走到一起，導致奇怪的憎惡像1994年的不可戰勝的或敲竹槓McDojos的字符串，它興起在全國范圍內的尾流空手道小子（這沒關係，帕特森田的鬼，我知道這不是你的錯）。

而不是糾纏於那些小於文化交流或臭名昭著的恆星的例子，但印第安納瓊斯 現場，檢查出的10個最佳武術電影這個名單。

10，功夫熊貓
，我知道無論是夢工廠“ 功夫熊貓或周星馳的功夫不得不坐到10點。這兩部電影圈點他們輕鬆，幽默語氣中帶著淒美的令人驚訝的時刻，兩者幾乎是馬不停蹄尊敬到真正的經典功夫電影的一個巨大的名單，往往現場由現場。最後，我不得不把它送給功夫熊貓為更緊密地構建電影，雖然真的，他們都還不如用愛為體裁的絕對數量看任何電影時是通過共享此點。傑克·布萊克配音寶的（完全真棒）旅程從裝模作樣的武俠變形金剛迷到不太可能的英雄這樣的誠意，這很難不被橫掃沿線，尤其是考慮到由達斯汀霍夫曼的同樣強烈的表現作為永久激怒師父和Ian McShane的作為來勢洶洶大龍。

9。醉拳II
1994的醉拳II（在美國發行的醉拳的傳說）是迄今為止，它擁有一切，使他唯一真棒作為一個武術電影明星和每一個他的首要元素成龍的最好的電影（運動/技術，喜劇時機，純粹運動天賦的流動性）是展示比任何他的其他電影，包括原1978的更好醉拳（主演一個更年輕的成龍）。陳明星作為中國民間英雄黃飛鴻誰利用他的醉泉（醉拳擊）技能停止腐敗的英國領事誰是非法出口的中國文物出境的。雖然幾乎所有的動作場面都令人印象深刻，令人難忘，在最後的戰鬥是一個真正的表演，塞。

8，血滴子的主人
，我不明白怎麼會有人不看那個可笑預告片這種令人難以置信的可笑，但之後被激發絕對真棒武俠經典采寫/導演和主演王羽。血滴子的主人，發布於1976年，是續集王1971年的電影獨臂拳王。在這裡，在這第一部電影打死兩個字符瞎子師傅是出於對報復的一名武裝主角，沿著他選擇的武器帶來的完全超過了頂“血滴子”，如果單是簡短的描述是不足以讓你去，影片還具有出色的比賽開幕，展示一系列來自亞洲各地的戰鬥風格。這滑稽的電影的影響力不能被誇大：電影配樂位均被採樣由武湯氏族，這是金廷塔倫蒂諾的最愛（他用小人的主題為O型任石井在外觀殺死比爾隨著主人公的技巧隱藏在天花板上），和血滴子甚至惡搞的福利碼頭。

7。殺死比爾卷1
說起塔倫蒂諾的，2003的殺死比爾。1既是一個偉大的電影和一個偉大的武術電影，類似於功夫熊貓 / 川流，參拜了一噸的經典武俠筆觸（包括中國和日本），使一個真正的內臟，另類的影院體驗不同其他（嗯，至少要等到第2卷就出來了）。像令人難以置信的血淋淋的，但藝術茶館的戰鬥場面瘋狂88或強烈的幽閉廚房對決是我的一切，使一個武俠電影很大，當與塔倫蒂諾的一貫特點相結合，其結果是真正超然的很好的例子。

6，葉問
08年的葉問終於當真正優秀的，但從來沒有相當視為甄子丹來到自己的那一刻，打永忠的傳奇大師和一些未來的武林高手老師的一個鬆散的傳記版本，一是人是李小龍。影片的故事發生在20世紀30年代佛山（一個著名的城市在南方/中央中國武術），其中不事張揚永忠師傅試圖渡過1937年日本侵略中國和和平佔領，但最終被迫採取行動。瘋狂，肢斷，面粉碎作用。這種半歷史影片成功光榮既作為電影和武術愛好者誘餌。

5，英雄
廣受好評的中國導演張藝謀2002年的武俠史詩英雄是容易迄今取得的最藝術性和視覺衝擊武俠電影。從沉重的行動和超現實的幻想敘事的顏色編碼的小插曲結構之間裙子的戰鬥序列，有很多喜歡。在戰國時期設置，李連杰的基礎上秦王於公元前227荊軻的刺殺未遂的故事起到了無名戰士。在國王的寶座坐的步伐走了一組數字，無名戰士和陰謀家的覆滅之王貿易的故事，戰士一直奉行。每個說服力的故事，李的性格是允許那麼多的步伐接近國王。我個人最喜歡的場景？A中的開放的鬥爭之間折騰了在雨中或令人驚嘆的美麗鬥爭在湖面上。武術之餘，英雄有一些最好的攝影中所看到的任何電影。

4。拳霸：泰拳戰士
雖然英雄是非常漂亮電影，拳霸具有原始的，野蠻的武術更好的展示。長達十年的趨勢朝著更加突出的電線工作和特效後，托尼賈2003年泰國明星車型拳霸是回歸到瘋狂的特技（由賈本人所有執行）和強硬的行動。擁有一個完全缺乏這兩種絲复和任何形式的CGI程序，拳霸是令人難以置信的令人印象深刻的觀看。這個故事是不是一個藉口橫跨泰國（曼谷雙方和鄉村）的絡繹不絕跋涉多一點瘋狂追逐序列和更加瘋狂的戰鬥，但這部電影是如此毫無顧忌的是什麼，你不禁微笑辭職自己被吹走一些武術和肉體一般最令人印象深刻的顯示器出來在過去10年左右的時間。

3。精武英雄
李連杰1994年精武英雄是李小龍的極具影響力的1972影片翻拍精武門。而狂怒幫移離武器為基礎的功夫電影，赤手空拳的戰鬥（設置階段為功夫電影的“黃金時代”），這是非常低的預算，沒有年齡特別好，尤其是相對於在列表中下一個條目。李的優秀翻拍結束了極具影響力在它自己的權利：沃卓斯基兄弟足以感動聘請編導（袁和平）來處理戰鬥芭蕾舞蹈藝術的矩陣。精武英雄採用了最好的道場剋星的一個場景所有的時間，其中李連杰從事一整個房間的攻擊者，以及一系列特別創造性的元素，如立註冊成立的現代拳擊/搏擊而戰鬥的老同學 ​​。李飾演陳真，一個中國學生在日本佔領中國的誰返回大陸懷疑的犯規動作，當他聽說他的主人據稱失去對當地的日本武術家吵架後去世時在京都大學學習。

2，龍爭虎鬥
死亡遊戲可能已經註冊了標誌性的黃色連衣中的文化想像，但龍爭虎鬥很容易李小龍的最好和最磨光片。在1973年發布，_Enter龍是由一個好萊塢工作室製作的第一個中國武俠片（加上一個好萊塢的預算），它顯示。李某被賦予了很大程度的創意控制權的項目，修改了很多劇本寫作和導演了整個少林開頭序列。關於這個問題電影的最好的事情是從約翰·撒克遜人的同樣強烈的表演，賭博花花公子羅珀和吉姆·凱利作為非裔裝飾，令人難以置信的平滑威廉姆斯。再加上李的臥底（命名為“李”，當然），他們三人都不是短期迷人的，特別是在每一個他們與來勢洶洶的邦德惡棍式的韓的私人島嶼託管致命的武術完全不同的相互作用比賽，彌補了電影的核心。如果你卻從來沒有見過這個，追查副本吉姆·凱利的威廉姆斯獨自的最多一個有趣的人物出現在任何武術電影。

1，林世榮
最初發布於1979年，Lin石榮，林世榮是愛情的一些在業務最好的武術船員的勞動。大腹便便洪金寶發表他最吸引人的性能，因為裝模作樣，但有才華和善意的林世榮在此袁佑平執導的影片。有這麼多的權利在這部電影裡我什至不知道從哪裡開始做。我們先從這裡。在那一幕，永的主人，民間英雄黃飛鴻保護自己的壞脾氣的，只能說是獨一無二的一個令人難以置信的創造性和充滿活力的武術/書法現場競本地主高師傅林世榮擁有一切：令人驚訝的聰明的喜劇，張冠李戴，失散多年的兄弟姐妹，兩名殺人悲劇，曾經拍過最引人注目的和令人滿意的復仇序列中的一個，和老同學 ​​不停的顯示器，非常穩重，技術武術作為兩所學校發生碰撞。如果您有在所有武俠片的任何權益，這是一個絕對必須看-一個真正的隱藏的寶石。
