I don't know many good ones. I have a feeling Gary Oak might? Anyway I'll post what I know is good, I think they're all hookups from the RZA that he talks about in his books.

36th Chamber of Shaolin (American title: Master Killer)
Five Deadly Venoms
8 Diagram Pole Fighter

Kung Pao! (probably not actually)

    You cant go wrong with fists of fury or the big boss. Just about any Bruce Lee movie is good but avoid Game of Death 1 and 2 its not really him in those 2. Also Drunken Master with Jackie Chan is excellent.

    I specifically am looking for kung fu, but even tho I don't know how to edit a thread's title I am changing this to a thread about martial arts films in general. And samurai flicks too, samurai are the shit.

    The Seven Samurai

    I always wanted to watch that, but I've never gotten around to it. Speaking of samurai, Have you've ever watched Samurai Champloo? It's an anime, but nonetheless its got awesome action.

    I absolutely did, it's the only anime series I felt compelled to watch in it's entirety. I should download that and finish it up actually..

    Afro Samurai is killer as well.

    Ninja Scroll is very similar to that kind of style too.

    Snake in the Eagle's Shadow

    and my personal favorite, Iron Monkey

    Shaolin soccer was not nearly as great as I was hoping but it wasnt to bad.
    Umm well i would say forbidden kingdom. Its not a classic like all the rest mentioned and some of the scenes are kinda corny but a couple of the scenes are pretty neat.
