Yeah...I thought about including some more kung fu flicks...mostly Jet Li. Then I realized that most of the kung fu flicks I've seen are all based on a revenge motif and contain a lot of the same stuff. Other noteable Li movies include:

Fist Of Legend (one of the most badass kung fu films ever)
The Legend Of Fong Sai Yuk trilogy
The Enforcer
The Evil Cult (soooooo woth the watch purely for it's bizzare nature and wicked kung fu)
Any of the Shaolin Temple movies (1-3)
Invincible shaolin

There are more...but those are probably the best. I'm pretty wary of watching his American market movies, though. Seven Samurai was pretty good...but then I realized it was destroyed when Hollywood ripped it off, gave it a western feel, and called it "The Magnificent Seven". I never did understand people's obssession with Akira Kurosawa. He's good...but not as good as a lot of people would have you believe in my opinion. For more movies that will rock your face off, check out my blog (click on the "www" at the bottom of the post). Mostly just a bunch of movie reviews and mostly Asian films.
