Hi there, I haven't really followed the martial arts movie scene since Tony Jaa's introduction in Ong Bak.

Any new blood to follow and must see movies to watch in the last 10 years to catch up?

My favourite martial art movie has always been Drunken Master 2 with Jackie Chan, has it been topped?

 

[F!ReW!Re]

The Raid 1 & 2

Indonesian Martial Arts movies.
Go watch them right now!

I don't even know their names but the guys from The Raid. The internet got excited when it was announced they would be in The Force Awakens, and they were announced as the guys from The Raid. Then we saw their appearance and thought it was a waste.

Donnie Yen is really hitting it big being in the new Star Wars movie.

I really love the design of his character. Looks like a Star Wars character all right!

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Donnie Yen, I guess. The cast of The Raid too.

No, Drunken Master 2 hasn't been topped.

There is no real comparable hot new thing really. Iko Uwais (Merantau, The Raid movies) maybe. Donnie Yen is the big name, but he's been around for years.

No, Drunken Master 2 has not been topped.


Movies I'd recommend from the last 10 years:

The Raid 1 & 2
Merantau
Ip Man
Wu Xia (Dragon)
Kuro-obi (Black Belt)
Chocolate
The Grandmaster (track down the uncut version)
Flash Point
Fearless
Once Upon a Time in Shanghai
Undisputed 2 & 3
Ninja: Shadow of a Tear
Blood and Bone
Redeemer

Also, check out the Rurouni Kenshin trilogy if you want to see some cool sword fights.
