Mo jong yuen: So hat yi (1992) Hong Kong


An earlier movie of Stephen Chow, the man behind the classics Kung Fu Hustles and Sholin Soccer.
King of Beggars is in the style of earlier Jackie Chan comedies with lots of kung fu and hilarious situations, but touched by Chow's comedy genius.

Arahan jangpung daejakjeon (2004) - South Korea

I'm back with fresh movies. Well not so fresh if you consider the year 2004.
That's the Korean answer to Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle, although it's less "cult" than the previous ones.

Ying xiong (2002) Hong Kong/China


Surely Zhang Yimou's best film (so far), and one of the world's best movies ever.
Definitely a must see.
a.k.a "Hero"

Enter the Dragon (1973) Hong Kong/USA


There is only one word to describe this movie: Classic.

Duelist (International: English title)

Although the story was sometimes difficult to follow, the movie was visually stunning and the choreography - delightful!
