If "Enter the Dragon" isn't in at least the top 3 of any list talking about great martial art films, I don't see the point in reading further.

Drunken Master is really fucking good though, you gotta admit. It's now my friend's nickname. :lol:

Where's Sidekicks? Where's Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon?

But in all seriousness, why isn't Enter the Dragon on there? Maybe martial arts afficianados can clue us in on why it's not worthy of the top 20.

Its actually not a horrible list. I would have put Drunken Master 1 over 2, though.

THe Chinese Connection IS Enter the Dragon, under its origional title. Its actually not a horrible list. I would have put Drunken Master 1 over 2, though.

Definitely. Drunken Master 1 is pure excellence. I love when the old man kicks everyone's ass with a piece of dumpling dough. And the bo staff! Pure genius.

Yeah, although I edited my post to take out my weird Chinese Connection/EtD mistake. Don't know what happened there.

Uh... Blade is actually Blade of Fury, right?

As the only Chinese guy around who was actually raised on martial arts films, I really don't understand why anyone would like this stuff.

Uh, Blade? Blade and not Enter the Dragon? Fucking Blade and not Hero?
