Between these it is a toss up between Master of the Flying Guillotine and The Raid.
Shaolin Soccer and The Heroic Trio are such a combination of other things that I can’t quantify them into any genre.
I would struggle to put a single martial arts movie in a store.
Do you go a Thai film, Hong Kong, modern B-movie bliss with Scott Adkins, Korean films, a kung fu art piece like Hero, Jet Li’s brilliance, low budget obscurity like Contour or Die Fighting, some Japanese madness, or just a Shaw Brothers classic?
THE CHOICE IS TOO DIFFICULT!
But honestly I’d probably throw in a The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter.
Versus.
@@aestevalis0wow I love that movie it is far more style over substance
1978 Crippled Avengers
Loved the English and original audio
Loved LOVED these movies as a kid. White haired witch, Forbidden Kingdom, Iron Monkey, anything with Jet Li, Jackie Chan, or Sammo Hung.
I just rewatched Iron Monkey a month ago, and man, it holds up great
Omg I forgot I watched these as a kid. Thanks for reminding me of them ❤ will definitely watch all 4 again
They redid a fight scene from the Flying Guillotine in The Boondocks.
*Kung Fu Hustle*
It never gets old
Grateful that this comment section has so many great recommendations as someone who's less familiar w/ martial arts movies :D
No Bloodsport? :(
Gotta add Kung fu hustle! Hilarious movie!
I love that rental stores are still around. A massive part of my childhood and a big reason I’m such a movie buff
Still around? Where do you live? The past? I'm kidding, I miss blockbuster
RZA narrating kung fu/wuxia streaming movies with 36cinema was a pandemic highlight. He chose the following:
Mystering of Chessboxing
Shogun Assassin
Petey Wheatstraw
Shaolin vs Wutang
Furie
The Man from Hong Kong
My Lucky Stars
Sword of Doom
Shaolin vs Lama
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla
Night of the Living Dead/Gravediggaz
Master of the Flying Guillotine
Branded to Kill
Ghost Dog
Heroes of the East
Five Deadly Venoms
I hope 36 cinema returns at some point.
At least personally, my 八卦掌「bāguàzhǎng」师傅「shīfù」showing us/his class a copy of 2002's 英雄「yīngxióng」(aka Hero) and giving us a play-by-play of the martial elements referenced is a personal highlight in movie watching experiences around martial arts; especially since this was not dubbed nor subtitled and was long before the film was screened theatrically in the USA.
Tsui Hark's 1995 film 刀 aka "The Blade" I remember seeing during the no-longer-showing-movies UC Theater in Berkeley, CA in the 1990s back when they would do Wednesday HK movie action nights. That film in particular stood out to me insomuch as the fighting scenes begin slow and brutal and progressively get more over the top as the movie progresses such that by the time the final show down fly-by-wires battle occurs, it is as if you have been sitting in a movie that has been having a slow crescendo that is at a raging boil by the end and the proverbial frog not even realizing what they were in for comes to mind.
I loved every pick here. Except I would have chosen 'Merantau' over 'The Raid 2'. And added 'Tom Yum Goong'.
The greatest loss to entertainment was that the Kung Faux series did not get more traction.
You guys always talk about GREAT movies!
The flying guillotine is one of my all time favorites!
FLASH POINT (2007) with Donnie Yen has got to be one of the most incredible kung fu movies ever..the stunts put this movie in my top 3 and the final fight may be the greatest fight I've ever seen.
We need an episode on B-movies
Attack of the Killer Refrigerator, hands down best B movie.
Amazing picks ❤
Wtf why pick that....
I like the Once Upon a Time in China series.
Why does the website suddenly look like every other website?
Bring back Quorators
I love this series, but I think it’d do better if all their thumbnails followed a formula. It’s kinda hard to them without directly searching up cracked and going through their catalog, reading each name
I was just thinking about Shaolin Soccer a couple days ago.
The Raid and Dredd (with Karl Urban” are the same exact movie
You're not wrong.
God this show is fantastic.
The story of ricky, wait... My wife is gangster... Attack the gas station? Too many to choose
Haven't seen these. Need time stamps
Kung-fu Hustle is one of the best movies of all time
Only watched the one armed boxer vs the Master of the flying guillotine, not the sequel
They’re the same movie.
The original film is just One-Armed Boxer.
@@MartialArtsFilmFreak Oh, good to know. Titles can get confusing when dealing with movies that release under multiple titles, especially with loose sequels and such
ah man, missed two of the greatest: The Kid with the golden arm and The 5 Deadly Venoms
please can you show more clips to go emphasize the talking points?
My guess is they do not have the rights for most of these clips so they are not trying to get the video taken down
Well,this is sh;t - Missing after hours, k.y.a.b.d.n?..
Heroic Trio deffo looks DC but it looks more CW Arrowverse to me.
OMG the heroic trio........jeez. I am surprised it was a movie done straight, it has porn plot and just takes it serious but removed the porn.
May I suggest:
The night comes for us
Chocolate
Ong bok
No Jet Lee movie. 😢
Movies that are in danger of being lost are the ones that deserve the passionate remake treatment so it brings awareness to the classics.
who are these people??
Patrick H Willems has a really high quality video essay channel. Danielle Radford has written for Honest Trailers for a number of years (not sure if she still is). I am not familiar with the other two.
Danielle also has a Wrestling Podcast, "Tights and Fights"
They tell you at the beginning. And you can Google their names.
people, that was F***in rhetorical question
I feel like all the sober friends showed up to take their drunks home and had an awkward amount of time to kill.
Remember when Cracked used to be a comedy channel? They cancel Quorators and then keep this pretentious garbage. These people are the worst Brooklyn hipster stereotypes ever!
I remember when Cracked was a magazine.
No Bruce or Jackie COMON
Did you even watch the beginning of the video? They did a Jackie Chan one already so they excluded him from this
Wow, Cracked really sucks now. Maybe they shouldn't have fired most of their staff and tanked their site's traffic
