I just dont agree with the inclusion of the Karate Kid and Kung Fu Hustle, especially if its in the same level of Enter the Dragon, Hero and The Drunken Master. Karate Kid and Kung-Fu Hustle are great movies in their own right, but not in the same league. And I would liked to have seen both One Upon A Time in China and the all-time classic Master of The Flying Guilatine (I went through the first 10 clips and did not see it).

All I got was a lost page.

And don't diss on Kung Fu Hustle, that movie was sweetness from beginning to end. You can't hardly rag on it for being unreal if your going to include Hero. Hero only had about two or three fight scenes that weren't ridiculous wire work with untrained actors.

The scene when the Axe Gang takes over pig sty alley and gets their *** handed to them by the three amigos is easily on par with Enter the Dragon. I think many people have rose colored glasses on when they watch Enter the Dragon. Its got its moments, but then it has the scene where it shows 300 black belts throwing karate punches and 75% of them are throwing worse than a 5 year old white belt.

As far as karate kid goes, all I can say is that when I explain to my kickboxing class how to parry a jab cross combo, all they can say to me is, "you mean wax on wax off?". So it definitely has its place.
