Bad Kung Fu Advice

Kaiju15Kaiju15 Registered User regular
edited February 2008 in Help / Advice Forum
I'm thinking of having a day long (potentially two) Kung Fu marathon where my friends and I will watch terrible Kung Fu movies and make fun of the dubbing, plot, acting, etc. Do you know of any movies that I absolutely must show?

It is your duty as a filmgoer to see Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.

    The Story of Ricky! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102293/

    If you remember the clip of the head getting smashed on The Daily Show, this is the movie it came from. It's a really funny movie.

    Magnificent Butcher, but admittedly only for this part.

    Twin Dragons (also known as Tai Chi Master)

    The Jackie Chan City Hunter movie (maybe, might be too intentionally funny for what you're looking for though.)

    Meltdown (aka High Risk)

    Master of the Flying Guillotine

    The Street Fighter (the Sonny Chiba one not the Van Damme one)

    Anyone remember the movie True Romance? The movie they saw in the movie theater on their date (Streetfighter, and the sequel I think). I picked those up in the walmart dollar dvd bin a little while back. They might make a good addition to your kung fu night. Also what kung fu movie night would be complete without kung pow.

    5 deadly venoms
    crippled avengers
    kung fu rascals
    Kung Fu vampires (maybe zombies, been awhile)
    Chinese Super Ninjas
    Any other movie from the Shaw Brothers.
    Almost any of Chan's movies from before rumble in the bronx.

    Not all of these are "bad" but they are awesome in their own ways.

    I wish I could remember more, but I love these movies... they re so entertaining.

    It's not really what you're looking for, but you should watch Big Trouble in Little China, because it sort of fits, and any excuse to watch that movie is a good one.

    And mentioning that movie always reminds me of Showdown in Little Tokyo. Which is more of a terrible action movie from 1991, starring Dolph Lundgren (aka Ivan Drago from Rocky IV) and Brandon Lee (the son of Bruce Lee) as buddy cops. That one certainly fits the "hilariously bad" criteria, and it even has some martial arts.
    Also includes the following exchange:

    Johnny Murata: Kenner, just incase we get killed, I wanted to tell you that you have the biggest dick I've ever seen on a man.
    Chris Kenner: [nods] Thank you.

    Volcano High

    EDIT:
    It's like a live action spoof of a bad anime flick. Really good wire-fu and decent special effects, but completely absurd story line involving super powers, the kung fu equivalent of hogwart's, and teacher vs. student duels. It's a lot of fun.

    Of all Kung Fu movies, I recommend Crippled Masters.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crippled_Masters

    A couple of Thalidomide-baby actors join forces to create a complete kung-fu fighter with 4 limbs, 2 torsos, and 2 heads! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be astounded.

    It's both hilarious to watch and strangely sensational, with unique acrobatics to boot.

    For rapidly switching between poor dubbing, wacky asian humour that doesn't quite translate, and "Ohmygoddidyouseethat?quickrewind.Manthatmusthavehurt" moments - most old Jackie Chan movies wont disappoint. Drunken Master 2 (aka the legend of drunken master), Police Story 1 (2+3) are good too.

    Shogun Assassin is a great old-style poorly dubbed movie (the one they mentioned in Kill Bill) - though its Japanese - not chinese.

    If you want a good watch - Jet Li's Fist of Legend is great too.

    My recommendation would be to intermix the "bad ones" with some real classics that get mentioned in the thread.

    Duel of the Tough. ONE DOLLAR at Wal-Mart. Not to mention that the guy on the cover of the movie is not in it. Also, the person who wrote the blurb on the back of the box obviously has not seen it. Or even know the names of the characters.

    I'll third the Street Fighter movies, but you have to watch Sister Street Fighter for the worst of the worst.

    I picked up a 10 kungfu movie pack for my fiancee once that had a horrible black sploitation film starring a Jim Kelly (no not the bills qb of same name). If you can find Black Samurai it has the best black man on midget meele ever put to film.

    Fucking yes. And it doesn't stop there. Anything by Godfrey fucking Ho is absolute gold. I've seen more of his movies than any healthy man should. He directed Duel of the Tough and it isn't even credited anywhere! He made the shittiest kung fu movies ever. You can't go wrong.

    Damn, I was going to mention Fantasy Mission Force. As I heard the story behind it, Jackie Chan was in a pinch to settle his gambling debts to the Triad, and so some gangsters said, 'if you make a movie for us...'

    So, IIRC, Japanese Nazis have taken several important Allied generals hostage during WWII, including General Abraham Lincoln. The Fantasy Mission Force must go to Canada to rescue them from the Nazis, who are also working with roman legionaries in convertibles.
