can you make any recommendations? i love kung fu movies (and kung fu, to be honest, been practicing for about three years). most of the stuff that i've seen is the old-school variety, such as the shaw brothers work. i'm downloading "hero" right now, as it isn't out in the us yet. storm riders i've seen, although i wouldn't consider that a kung fu flick. my biggest complaint about the new stuff is the over-abundance of wire work. some of it is okay, but quite often it's so over the top that i can't enjoy it. fist of legend, now there was a great movie. if anyone could tip me off to some good stuff, that would be great.
