Your not a real man if you don't watch martial arts movies but you like all that soft, inspirational ? . This should the first sticky thread to where people can research and recommend martial arts movies. We did this on the "old IC" so why not do it now. Here are a few I know of and also if you can, give a brief description why you like the movie so we can have an idea on why to view it.
Ip Man - with Donnie Yen, a movie about Bruce Lee's real master, it's one of the best movies I ever seen with fighting and storyline. I think it's better than Jet Li's Fist Of Legend (which is another great recommendation).
Ong Bak 2 - I'm sure a lot of you seen it already, plus you can now buy it in stores now.
Flash Point - another Don Yen movie, I seen the first 10 minutes but from that and the fight I heard about at end of movie, it's worth checking out.
