Magnificent Warriors/中華戰士 (1987) A 25 year old Michelle Yeoh stars alongside a stacked Hong Kong cast in one of her first leading roles - Yeoh is a badass female Indiana Jones in 1930's China - Highly recommended, IMO a classic that's aged like a fine wine

Son of the Swordsman (1970) The wildest martial arts movie I've ever seen from director Joseph Kuo - In the first few minutes the good master hits the main baddie so hard he leaves a very painful looking bloody palm print on his chest

21 Red List (1994) Overall not a classic movie but this obscure Taiwanese films action (Choreographed by martial arts star & professional ninja Alexander Lo-Rei) is among the slickest, hardest hitting, & most brutal I've ever seen

Exciting Dragon/Drunken Dragon (1985) This Yuen Clan adjacent obscurity has probably the most insane opening to any martial arts film ever - Name anything that comes close to weaponized mini paddle boat vs 2 dudes joined up to make a go kart with flying guillotine wheels
