Magnificent Butcher [DVD]
2.  Magnificent Butcher [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "Forget all of Yuen Woo PIng's wire-assisted stuff. This is kung-fu at its best and believeable to boot. Has it all mad assassins, drunks, bawdy gags and plenty of drama"
Used & New from: £11.74
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Once Upon a Time in China--Special Collector's Edition [DVD]
3.  Once Upon a Time in China--Special Collector's Edition [DVD] DVD ~ Lee Jet
The list author says:
  "Forget all his other stuff, this is why Jet Li is famous. Outstanding, mind-blowing fight scenes, emotive script and excellent production values. Plus Jackie Chan sings the theme tune."
£14.99   Used & New from: £1.03
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (22 customer reviews)

Once Upon a Time in China 2 [DVD]
4.  Once Upon a Time in China 2 [DVD] DVD ~ Jet Li
The list author says:
  "Hard to decide between this and forerunner. This has better fights(Jet Li Vs Donnie Yen) but not as good a story and Yuen Biao no longer plays Fu. Original just shades it."
Used & New from: £1.19
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Iron Monkey [DVD]
5.  Iron Monkey [DVD] DVD ~ Rongguang Yu
The list author says:
  "Woo Ping manages to perfectly blend the stars' excellent ground-based martial arts with his innovative wire work to great effect. The final 30mins is one top fight after another."
Used & New from: £0.93
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (30 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

The Young Master [DVD]
6.  The Young Master [DVD] DVD ~ Jackie Chan
The list author says:
  "Jackie Chan's finest hour in his fan fight with Fan Mei San, dragon dances, skirt kung-fu and the arrival of the arch villain will have you wincing with each kick."
£12.99   Used & New from: £7.26
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews)

Snake In The Eagle's Shadow [1978] [DVD]
7.  Snake In The Eagle's Shadow [1978] [DVD] DVD ~ Jackie Chan
The list author says:

Warriors Two [VHS] [1978]
8.  Warriors Two [VHS] [1978] VHS Billy Chan
The list author says:
  "Done before Prodigal Son, but in essence a sequel. Leung Kar-Yan dominates as the elderly Leung Jan and no-one does mantis style better than Fung Hark-On. DVD release expected in 2004"
Used & New from: £6.00

The Victim [1980] [DVD]
9.  The Victim [1980] [DVD] DVD ~ Sammo Hung

Knockabout [VHS]
10.  Knockabout [VHS] VHS Biao Yuen
The list author says:
  "Sammo Hung used this to help launch Yuen Biao, quite literally as can be seen in the jump training scenes. I'd like to see kids try that in the playground. Also, Sammo and Biao do monkey style."
Used & New from: £11.80
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Encounters of the Spooky Kind [DVD]
11.  Encounters of the Spooky Kind [DVD] DVD ~ Sammo Hung Kam-Bo

Used & New from: £10.48
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

12.  Drunken Master [DVD] DVD ~ Jackie Chan

Fist of Legend [DVD]

Legend Of A Fighter  [DVD]
15.  Legend Of A Fighter [DVD] DVD ~ Yao Lin Chen
The list author says:
  "Yuen Woo Ping returns to gravity restricted martial arts and the viewer is rewarded. Kurata Yasuaki is excellent. Tip: see So Close(Yuen Kwai), Yasuaki's sword fight is unbelieveable."
Used & New from: £8.95

Ninja in the Dragon's Den [DVD]
16.  Ninja in the Dragon's Den [DVD] DVD ~ Hiroyuki Sanada

Twin Warriors [DVD]
17.  Twin Warriors [DVD] DVD ~ Jet Li

19.  The Scorpion King (Hong Kong Legends) [DVD] [1991] DVD ~ Kar Lok Chin

Dreadnought [VHS]
20.  Dreadnought [VHS] VHS Biao Yuen
