One of the greatest martial arts films starring the late Bruce Lee.
Kiss of the DragonKiss of the Dragon
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $0.05
Solid! Dark tone, dark plot, and raw fist a cuffs! Jet Li's best!
Jackie Chan's Who Am I?Jackie Chan's Who Am I?
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.89
Some silly dubbing spots, but overall, a great Jackie Chan film.
HeroHero
Buy used from: $0.98
More poetry than brawls, but wow, what a story! Subtitles a must!
The Bourne Identity (Full Screen Extended Edition)The Bourne Identity (Full Screen Extended Edition)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.01
Intelligent story. Not much martial arts, but what is there is spectacula due to the editing.
Wake Of DeathWake Of Death
Buy used from: $1.14
An overall dark movie. A tad shy on the martial arts, but a "hard-to-believe" Van Damme movie.
In HellIn Hell
Buy used from: $1.97
Raw fighting instead of martial arts. Van Damme has definately taken acting classes and wised up on scripts. "In Hell" and "Wake of Death" have made me a Damme fan. No cheesyness here.
Shanghai NoonShanghai Noon
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $1.29
...and it's comical too.
Rapid FireRapid Fire
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $4.20
Some cliche characters, but still a great fighting flick.

Parents, don't let your children watch this anime!
My Father is a HeroMy Father is a Hero
Buy used from: $16.99
Get passed the main villian, and it is all good. Decent story to boot.
The HuntedThe Hunted
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.78
A pretty good pull-off using ninja and samurai in modern times. One or two skeptical parts, but the story is still worth the time.
The MatrixThe Matrix
Buy used from: $0.01
This one is an original. It is a shame the sequels were weak, especially the final. UGGHHH.
CyborgCyborg
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $4.99
The action is sparse at times, but it's a keeper.
Rush Hour/Rush Hour 2Rush Hour/Rush Hour 2
Buy used from: $8.65
Enjoyable films. Great comedy with diet fight scenes.
Fist of the North StarFist of the North Star
Buy used from: $34.25
This is way over the top anime (Mad Max of the anime). The series in Japanese language/English subtitles is great. Once again, it's over the top and a little corny, but easy to digest.
Fist of LegendFist of Legend
Buy used from: $4.30
Remake of Bruce Lee's "Fist of Fury." Great fight scenes.
GorgeousGorgeous
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.59
More of a silly romantic comedy. The fighters are brutally fast and entertaining. Funny, there are no villians in this movie.
Dragon Fight [VHS]Dragon Fight [VHS]
Buy used from: $2.60
Expect low plot and weak dialogue, but the fight scenes are amazing.
Once Upon a Time in China #1Once Upon a Time in China #1
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $1.68
Some wire work, but a great overall flick. (I'm not a fan of the wirework, but for some movies it works)
