Best gunplay/martial arts?
Why that would be Equilibrium. It has the style of Gunkata.
As for straight up martial arts?
The Legend of Drunken Master is the greatest martial arts film ever.

Every single time this thread comes up, I'm amazed that Police Story and Police Story II aren't mentioned. They're two of the most influential martial arts pictures ever. I'd also recommend Skinny Tiger Fatty Dragon, She Shoots Straight, My Young Auntie, Pedicab Driver, blah blah blah no one ever listens.

Dammit, I forget sometimes. Those are already in my digitally remastered Police Story Trilogy set. None of that Dimension film edited for american nonsense!! I like totally forget that Jackie sang the ending song in Police Story 3, the american version was just the over played rendition of "Everybody is Kung Fu Fighting."

The Police Story movies, particularly II, came instantly to mind.
A while back, I may have suggested Fulltime Killer, but having rewatched it recently, I've pretty much decided that it's not very good. Time & Tide and the Killer are still slick choices, though. Hard Boiled, on the other hand, is the epitome of overratedness.

I think it might have been Twin Warriors. He was a monk who had to leave the temple because both he and his friend were exiled out of the Shoalin Temple, unfortunatly his friend became a villain type.
Or maybe it was Shoalin Temple, but that's a much older movie and would look it.

Gunplay:
- Equilibrium
- Assault on Precinct 13 (the new one)
- Hard Boiled
- Face/Off (gold-plated Desert Eagles = yum!)
- Predator - loved it every time they pulled out ol' painless
Martial Arts:
- Fong Sai Yuk (The Legend) - last fight scene is awesome
- Once Upon A Time In China
- Fist Of Fury (The Chinese Connection) - the whole movie is great
- Cradle 2 The Grave - shit movie, but there's this one blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene where Jet Li takes out a guy using just his left hand (and foot maybe... can't remember the movie very well)
- Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - the scene where Li Mu Bai fights Jade Fox for the first time. Chow Yun Fat isn't a natural, but he made it look damned good
- Ong Bak - every scene where Tony Jaa belts people with his knees and elbows
- Storm Riders (if you're after something slightly outrageous)
