When it comes to making features like this one, i love the idea of coming up with my own personal “100 Great Kung Fu Movies” of all time. It is tough choosing just 100 because you know there are many more great Kung Fu movies that are not on the list.
I have decided that to make the list, a movie must have a few hand to hand moments during fight scenes in the movies chosen. If for example its mainly sword play with one fight scene hand to hand it won’t make the list. Its old school “style” Kung Fu movies, not modern day settings.
I understand everyone will have their own personal favorites and some may not agree with my list and that’s fine because it’s nice to have different opinions on this genre which keeps it fresh and alive when having good debates.
Anyway, thank you...

The Heroic Ones
Written by Chang Cheh and Ni Kuang
Directed by Chang Cheh
Hong Kong, 1970
Every so often one watches a film that simply must be accepted on its own terms if said viewer is to gain anything out of the experience. It has become all too facile to criticize a film for not being what the viewer wished it had been as opposed to analyzing what it is aspiring to and how. For example, not every single film will abide by the commonly understood principle that the audience needs someone to actively root for, a surrogate, a ‘good guy’ so to speak. A skilled screenwriter, director and cast can produce a solid film which tosses that idea to the wayside. That said, the film still needs to respect its own rules or adhere to some kind of logic, otherwise even the most open minded viewer will start to doubt its quality.
