However, Legend of the Drunken Master is a good example of him using much cleaner Kung Fu. Also, a large chunk of his work in Snake in the Eagle's Shadow is pretty awesome. Then again, these two were Yuen Wo Ping films so it shouldn't come as a surprise that a talent like Martial Arts athlete Jackie Chan would look great in a Yuen Wo Ping product. I mean the guy made Keanu Reaves/Laurence Fishburne look like they "knew Kung Fu"...



Great list, man. The only film I was kind of hoping I'd like a little more than I did was House of Flying Daggers. I think it was trying too hard to ride off the wuxia craze that Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon reignited and for me at least, it was a bit too stylized.

Thanks man and yeah i can see what you mean but I dont mind it, the more stylized the better i say lol. I always keep my eyes open for the Sony Pictures Classics they release alot of cool stuff.
