Yeah'.If at all possible and you don't mind subtitles try to find these in the original release w/subs.Shaw Brothers did a lot for Chinese Cinema coming to the US in the late 60's early 70's.So they did Dub versions of most of their films.But remember the Dub versions 70% of the time make the films slightly cornier.Funny how I recognize the Dub voices of certain actors in the SB films.I grew up in San Francisco and there were a couple of Chinese Theaters I would frequent for original versions.
Here are a few and honestly there are hundreds more of them.Many of the greats had 2 or 3 sequels.
1966 Come Drink With Me (all time classic)
1972 The 14 Amazons (excellent)
1976 Executioners from Shaolin
1978 Five Deadly Venoms
1978 The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (one of the all time greats)
1979 The Crane Fighter
1982 Legendary Weapons of China (aka:LWO Kung Fu)
1982 Shaolin Prince
1983 Holy Flame of the Martial World (one of my all time fav's for zany special effects wizards and great fighting sequences)
1993 Iron Monkey(very good)

a couple of later films that are also VG with HQ picture and sound
2011 Legendary Amazons
2011 Shaolin
2013 The Fox Lover (more of a fantasy)

These are all period pieces.Not even touching on the 70's flood of Chinese Kung Fu Cinema.So have fun.

Scratched one off the list

The 36th Chamber of Shaolin 7/10

The Shaolin training scenes are where this movie shines. That's when I actually began enjoying the film.

Spoiler Alert: There is no chamber with 100 times gravity.
 
Suicide Squad.

More interested in making flashy music videos rather than a movie, why a $200 mil production is inferior to stories told on Saturday morning cartoons is something quite unfathomable.

1/5.
 
Mortal Kombat Legacy (first nine episodes) -- 4 / 10

Man, wtf. :lol Some of it is actually alright - like the Scorpion & Kitana episodes (maybe Cyrax / Sektor one as well), but the rest is a waste of resources & time.

Can't wait to watch the next nine. :monkey1

I only like Scorpion's episodes too and his costume designs are actually freaking great.
 
Sorry but even Conquest was better than Legacy.
Second season had potential but still crap overall.

Wow I'm surprised cause I loved legacy. Great series from start to finish. Johnny cage's was the weakest one though. Overall- 9/10

Have you guys seen the Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist?
 
No, is it good?

Well, I thought it was pretty good for a web series. It's the best live action SF adaptation so far. I wouldn't pay for it, but luckily I saw it on YouTube when it was originally released.

I thought they captured the look and the spirt of the original games.

Here are the first 2 episode. They're pretty short. The season doesn't just focus on Ryu and Ken, but also their master and Akuma, but that's later.

Cool, it looks like a 90's TV show, I'll watch it later.

It's hard to find good webseries, they're all bad and some just barely watchable :lol

I think the only exception is JL gods and monsters
 
Hacksaw ridge. Andrew Garfield A slow start but once get in the war scenes its all crazy madness give a 7.
 
Coherence - 7/10 Very good drama, although I don't know if it's low-key or high-key sci-fi.

This is like Multiverse 101 for anyone interested in that sort of stuff.
 
Sausage Party: 7.5/10

Have you guys seen the Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist?
Yep.. bought it ages ago. :duff

Absolutely love it. Impressively faithful to the source, great story, great actors (witihin context), great fighting, great cinematography, great effects - great everything.

It looks nothing like a 90s show Gaspar.. pull your head in son. :lol
