What you are reading is a very careful consideration of what we consider to be the Top 10 Recommended Martial Arts Movies, in human existence. Please take time to note that a lot of careful work and consideration went into this list, however these type of movie lists are often the subject of heavy debate. This is why it is so important to always remember that this list is just one writer's opinion and yours might greatly differ. One important thing to note is that storyline, as well as character development, were sometimes put into heavier consideration that the quality of the stunt work being presented.
It would be hard for many critics to argue with our number one choice of all time. The early seventies film that made Bruce Lee a house hold name, even in America. We are naturally speaking about "Dragon: Enter the Fist". This is consider by the largest portion of critics to be Lee's greatest film.
While this next entry has been recently remade, it is important to note that the first one played a very important role in the culture of nineteen eighties cinema. We are naturally speaking about the American film, "The Karate Kid". This is one of the most touching American martial arts films ever made.
The next choice is a very fun movie to watch and it is also very artistic. We are naturally speaking of "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon". This is the picture that proved that America cannot compete with the Asians that founded this genre, not even in this generation.
Right out of the decade known as the nineteen nineties, it's the picture that introduced a wider audience to the work of Jackie Chan. We are of course talking about "Rumble in the Bronx". Chan received some pretty heavy injuries making this film so great.
In the middle of our little it's Jet Li. His film "Hero", is considered by many to be some of the greatest work he has ever done on screen.
The next Li entry would naturally have to be the film "Fearless" from 2002. Please note that this film is considered to be a viable entry by American horror genre regular, Ronny Yu.
This next picture is the American studio comedy that made Jackie Chan, as well as comedian Chris Tucker, important house hold names in America. We are naturally speaking of the really great comedy from the nineties, "Rush Hour".
This next picture is based off of a popular video game, actually the first wildly successful martial arts video game. "Mortal Kombat", is a popular film amongst many people that enjoy video games because they have such found memories of the game as well as this film.
Quentin Tarentino really earned these last two slots with his wildly successful Kill Bill films. Volume I is really great for people who love the idea of paying homage to seventies exploitation films based around the genre of kung fu.
"Kill Bill: Volume II", made our list as well because this film finishes the highly entertaining story that the first picture was very effectively telling.
It is now hoped that our little guide on Top 10 Recommended Martial Arts Movies, will help the martial arts junkies out there find a great film to enjoy. If you've seen most of these films, consider watching them again. These results may be debated, however it is of a high level of importance to consider that much research and consideration, went into making this little list.
