Fan of Martial Arts relatively new what else will I like?
I've loved Martial Arts films ever since I was a kid. But over the last few years I have been checking out more and more. I have only actually bought a few but have rented about all that looked interesting at the video store. I like comedy combined with the great action of some of Jackie Chan's films. Some of my favorites. . .
Twin Warriors (Tai Chi Master?)
Iron Monkey
Druken Master
Wheels on Meals
Heart of Dragon
Through my search for more great Kung Fu movies I have watched some pretty old and tired films. So I thought I'd ask here. What are some of all your favorite KF films everyone? And can someone reccomend a HK movie with really good fighting that has like a band of heros (like 3 or more masters) fighting evil?

Welcome to the forum Teremei.
Did you get a chance to check out either/both of these threads yet?

HK martial arts movie on DVD
Most of these movies have poor plots, worse acting, and, or, both, but of course that's not why we watch them, right? Here are some of my recommendations. Some of them are not martial art movies per se, but they all have very beautifully choreographed and elaborately staged fight scenes:
Hero (w/Yuen Biao and Takeshi Kaneshiro)
In the Line of Duty 3, 4, , 5
Drunken Master 2
Fist of Legend
Thunderbolt
Police Story 1, 2, 3
Black Mask
Dragons Forever
Righting Wrongs
Eastern Condors
Legend of the Wolf
Shanghai Affairs
Ballistic Kiss
Tiger Cage 2
Wire-enhanced martial arts action:
New Legend of Shaolin
Fong Sai Yuk 1 and 2 (aka The Legend 1 and 2 for the US release)
Once Upon a Time in China 1 and 2
Fire Dragon (I think it's gone OOP, but worth a look!!)
Swordsman 2
New Dragon Inn
Butterfly and Sword
Bichunmoo (it's a Korean movie but the swordplay scenes are choreographed by the HK team that did Swordsman 2. Get the region 3 Korean release, avoid the HK Deltamac version!!)
...and many more that I can't think of off the top of my head!

Tai Chi Master & Iron Monkey are 2 of my favorites too. Since you liked them, you'll probably also enjoy Jet Li in Fong Sai Yuk (& its sequel) & Michelle Yeoh in Wing Chun.
