Hong Kong Action Movies: Top 20

[MacaroniCombat]

My two favorites - Hard boiled And Supercop

[waaklubeb]

young and dangerous is the best

[Firelogger]

Wrong music

[akira84lp]

Whats the name of the first song played?

[MovieGuru891]

The Young Master (1980) is really underrated movie, and theres lots of people never seen it

[sarder2008]

Not a single Jet lee movie...you ar kidding right?



[Charliem1994]

@sarder2008 There was at least two moron.

[venomgold]

@sarder2008 Jet Lee sucks he never made my top 50 movie list LMAO but im making top 100 maybe he will make that. Doubt it though

[Latexxia]

@venomgold

Sounds less like you have a problem with Li, and more like you're just a dick.

[venomgold]

@Latexxia Don't call me a dick you twat, I own jet li movies so why say I got a problem with him when I have parted money in buying his movies. Only reason I dont like Jet Li so much is because his early movies they made him to invisible especially the once upon a time in china. Which I own the trilogy box set. If any one is a dick its you mate

[Latexxia]

@venomgold

I'll call you whatever the fuck I want, dick.

[venomgold]

@Latexxia SHUT THE FUCK UP PLEASE Cheers

[shapese13]

@viyark it wasnt very good!

[StevenAcademy12]

[HandymanHaugen]

Crippled Avengers is "return of the 5 venoms"

[LIbertyorDeath419]

+1 to "A Better Tomorrow" AKA "Ying Hung Boon Siik" as the number one action film.

[BackpackingNepal]

80s/90s HK Films are best! Do not forget to watch the action scenes of 2010 Best Movies Top 10 on my channel (it will play automatically and will awe you!)

[54markl]

Is the Boxer really Five Fingers of Death? All of this is exhausting to watch.

[vict0r1ous]

old school jackie chan was the best, his newer movies...are filled with hollywood formula crap

[MegaLaidback]

I'm glad I've seen most of these films.

[QuentintheZombie]

No Hard Boiled or Full Contact?

[MyLalinea]

what ever happened to cathai movies?

[MisterBlue2011]

Nice list , but many major HK titles absent from the list as 36 chambers of Shaolin , Enter The Dragon ETC .

[bugsy4173]

What is the name of song? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

[NejiKusa]

Five Deadly Venoms? Hard Boiled? =( I did enjoy watching through your selection though.

[Nero332]

whats the name of the first song?

[upfrontbear74]

Love the list, top 20 not enough though, needs to be bigger, to fit ones in like, Prodigal Son, Fist Of legend, Ninja In The Dragon's Den, Dreadnaught, Millionare's Express, Duel To The Death, Hard Boiled, Dragon's Forever, Eastern Condor, Story Of Ricky, OUATIC, Project A, To Live And Die In Tsimshatsui, Hapkedo, Blade Of Fury, Iron Monkey, Burning Paradise, Wheel's On Meals, Ip Man, Bodyguard's And Assassins, As Tears's Go By, Days Of Being Wild, Ashes Of Time, A Chinese Ghost Story and more.

[shuyin023]

I am quite disappointed Hard Boiled didn't make your list. It could have been top 1 too.

[jelloicecream]

btw, i saw this kung fu movie long ago and forgot the name can any1 tell me? its about 2 brothers, or friends(i 4got) who grow and they get into a fight and have to kill each other at the end

[SiegofHeart]

@jelloicecream The Tai Chi Master?

[jelloicecream]

asian movies just dont feal right with guns, we asians like martial arts beter

[headjunk01]

A 'Top 20' just isn't enough.. Prodigal Son, Dreadnaught, Legend of a Fighter, Thuderbolt, OUATIC are all worth mentions.

[krod0201]

MUSIC SUCKS BALLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[elevengiant]

not the best background music

[LowLeveledPower]

Victorias Secret - Sonata Arctica

took me a whole week to find it :)

btw thumbs up so others can seeeee

[FalkonX3000]

The "Killer", that movie looks dope

[masterdimsen]

@FalkonX3000 the killer is fucking epic!

[chozenn1]

I agree about rap, but the rock makes a nice background.

[bankaiz560]

u forgot ip man!!!!

[scatis213]

I dont know that much eastern-martial-action movies, but Im surprised that fearless only made it to 15th place :S:S epic stunts, great story...what else is needed?

[alexbaxthedarkside]

great count down, gives me an idea where to start with Gordon liu's movies. i got 36th chamber and was wowed :O

I got all of jackie chan and a lot of sammo hungs work as well as John woos best early work.

So thankyou very much for this and best of luck with any new videos :)

[grzegorzaaa]

A gdzie "Dragon Inn" z 1966, gdzie "Dawno temu w Chinach" i wspomniany "Hard-Boiled"?

[Abu1ahnaf]

Your the best !!! Even though i may disagree on some of your choices of top-20 movies. For nearly 3-4 years i have been searching for a specific movie about 2 guys who at first fights each other but then gets along. The one guy has a girlfriend who i think is blind, and needs a operation. When i looked throguh your list i found it.

"The Killer"

Nice work done with the movie and to hell with those who doesn't like the music, its your top-20! ;)

[satsima]

the name of the first song is Victoria's secret - sonata artica:D

[bobbyhitsbakk009]

Fucking love Hong Kong action cinema. Priceless

[WestrnEcho]

Really? Hard-Boiled isn't part of this list??? BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Huhmasta]

maaaan wut about Iron Monkey and Hardboiled and Flashpoint? Good list though

[aslankraw]

And u forgot once upon a highschool, i think it was named :)

[Huhmasta]

@aslankraw yeah except that is a KOREAN movie, not a HONG KONG chinese movie.

[wulFE117]

victorias secret is the first

and radioactivity is the second

[ShoyruDrag0n]

what;s the name of the song'?

[janewhc18]

Full contact fighting scenes in movies have always been Chinese movies forte.There are no other like it.Hollywood movies always use camera angle to cover their flaws.Well,you can't blame 'cause actors in Hollywood aren't really train and they're too protected from getting themselves hurt by producers,directors and their agents.

[tvducky]

hk action films?...i think a Touch of Zen is taiwanese o.0

[ukiome]

Where is Hardboiled? You can't possible not count that as one of top hongkong action movies... It should be among the top 5 in my opinion.

[Huhmasta]

@ukiome God damn right it should be.

[shanikanell]

Try VoobyMovies,ccm I Just Finished Watching the comedy "Year One" for free

[CustardDonut]

Nicely put together.

[mrkidd1]

where jakie" the hitman" chan

[slimithy12]

its a great list, king boxer is the shit but you missed out some great movie's. like fearless dragons, 36 chambers, wu tang vs shaolin, hard boiled, ipman and of coures the greatest hong kong movie of all time FIST OF FURY!

[yinblacks]

Story of Ricky should be on top 10

[executionerofgod]

you forgot "duel to the death" w/ tsui siu keung. its better than most of the movies on this countdown. you left out black mask and legend of the wutang/kungfu cultmaster and the legend of zu

[antifascistmilitant]

There's too many kung fu movies in here.

[bkakaak47]

tony jaa movies are also leathal

[Noojtxeeg]

lol i liked the 10-20 better. and your song from 10-20 is way better... what's the song btw?

[alrightlol]

wheres the movie that jackie chan was in the movie that their was bout gangs and that, srry dont know the name

[danielohanlon]

it says 'action' fool

[microkilla420]

chines ppl shooting is NOT kung fu.

[Classicgamesfan89]

Whoever made this list, propably took also acting side in it, not only fighting skills. In these movies the acting is better, than fighting.

[Noojtxeeg]

it's called ACTION movie, not necessarily kung fu movies.

[Classicgamesfan89]

@Noojtxeeg Yeah, but I call all Chinese movies Kung Fu movies

[corazonporcelana]

Great list but take out project A part 2 and put in police story 3. Police Story 3 is AMAZING! It might be the #1 for me. With all the stunts and action. The first time I saw it I was awestruck.

[Sauw1]

Project A 2 is worst than project A 1 lol

y favourite HK film is Drunken master 2

[only1life82]

i just watched sha po lang man sammos still got it he would be pushing 60 wouldnt he ?

[BurtSteven]

Kung Fu Hustle is funny as hell.

[alanTKD8]

man are u insane... where is flashpoint? with Collin Chou and Donnie Yen??.... and SPL in number 13??WTF.. also u could consider Fatal Contact with Wu Jing, and Dragon Tiger Gate with Donnie Yen and Nicholas Tse...

[jetali2112]

Your not serious!!

[xcalibur4ever]

project a part 2 is number #? wtf i didn't even like it as much as the first project a, although i admit it is still a great movie, but...there should be more love for sammo hung in this list.

[vincentweb]

ah?? fearless rank #15? i think should be higher rank. anyway... not bad for the listing//

[nuttyskater]

name os the song please

[godhand2]

The name of the song is 'Victoria's Secret by Sonata Arctica'

[tekkenmaster2]

bullet in the head!!

[logyou]

what is the name on the music

[kennive]

You should rename it as Hong Kong Funny Action Movies: Top 20! Apart from Jackie Chan & Jet Li, none of the rest are really classified as "Action!" e.g. Shaolin Soccer is more a funny movie rather than an Action movie!

[simgid25]

wuts the name of the first song??

[wulFE117]

GIMME THE NAMES OF DA FIRST SONG

[JUNGLENIGGA415]

what about police story 2

[libanerater]

yo! Tony Jaa is Thai (actually Cambodian blood)

not Hong Kong...Ong Bak is a THAI movie not hong kong!!

[wulFE117]

no Bruce Lee? nor Jet Li? nor Tony Jaa? id have thought at least one of their movies would be there, but drunken master is good enough for me, and yeah id like to know the songs

[demajl]

blind>???fong sai yuk was there

[Siex99]

No Jet Li lol? He was in Fearless in this list. But sadly none of Bruce Lee's movies are on this list and Tony Jaa isn't a hong kong actor.

[corazonporcelana]

@wulFE117 there was like 2 or 3 jet movies in it.

[pizzawhore72]

i really wanna know whats the name of the first song you used

[deathwishtaco]

how did hard boiled not make this list?

[Wasp1984]

Lousy music, you should of used something traditional with it. You know? Once Upon a time in China would of been a better choice.

[pizzawhore72]

what were the names of the songs you used

[EricOfSinzscape]

adioactivity by Kraftwerk

[luiswega]

like your list dude

[MalikZakiJamesha]

Pretty sweet list. Definitely big kudos on including "Heroes of the East." I'm kind of wondering where some of the titans are, i.e. Hard Boiled, Fist of Legend, Once Upon a Time in China II, etc., but perhaps its nice to see a list without the obvious choices.

[SuperRockandroller]

good list and good music , good job dude :)

[bioskope]

A Better Tomorrow is above The Killer?

Should be updated for Ip Man

8 Pole Diagram Fighter is indeed my fav. Shaw Bros flick, but the greatest HK movie ever? I dunno dude.

The list also needs 36th Chamber, Prodigal Son and no SPL,Project A 2. Still rated 5 *s for the effort put into it.

[mordred13]

if The mission is not action film, so do Beast Cops.

and where is Hard Boiled in this top list?

I watched almost all that movies, and sure they are all great actioin movies.

[Indensity]

For the foreign title can you post the english names in the description?

[1Haraadoll]

whoot! Fong Sai Yuk ! I love that movie !

Crippled Avengers is a classic :)

i noticed a lot of Jackie Chan movies, haha.

he did do some crazy stunts. i havent seen the 8 diagram pole fighter yet. i wanna watch "come drink with me" though. great vid.

[Franschief]

Bullet In The Head looks weirdly badass with that music on, for such a downer of a film.

[SuperMariofan089]

Lots of movies here. I've seen something, like 2 or 3 of them. Good, that you put Come Drink With Me in there.

[Devilsblood]

Nice list. I've seen about half of those movies. Mostly John woos and jackie chans. On my list would've had the woo films, duel to the death, the chow yun fat films, Johnnie To's stuff and anthony wongs films. I'm a movie geek :)

[TrueRockNRolla]

13. SPL? whats that? looksnice but this title doesn't exist on imdb, can you send me message with proper title? thanks

[drunkenmaster1605199]

Title is 'Sha Po Lang', aka 'Killzone' for the US release

[zawmintu11]

Nice video i like the music. What the name of the music?

[remains17]

where is hard boiled?

[Devilsblood]

He did put up about three of John woos films. Though I do love hard boiled.

[chessnut197]

would you know the name of a movie where a mother trains her son after he gets beat up and nearly killed. i think he then fights in some kind of tournament. thank you.

[AnimeFighter123]

what's the name of the first song?

[drunkenmaster1605199]

I posted a comment on your profile :)

[taoist77]

....And the real title of heroes of the east is 'Shaolin challenges Ninja' a much better description of the film.

[taoist77]

The 1972 film Kingboxer has been well speeded up, the original is no way that speed.

[SenseiRage]

Some of these were good, but not top 20 material. Beast Cops, Come Drink with Me, A Touch of Zen, Bullet in the Head, King Boxer, Project A 2, and Police Story should not have been there. Where was Iron Monkey, Mad Monkey Kung Fu, Ip Man, Prodigal Son, Magnificent Butcher, Coward Bastard, Long Road to Gallantry, Kid From Kwantung, Opium and the Kung Fu Master, Duel to the Death, The Sword, Legend of Zu, Barefoot Kid, Flashpoint, and The Victim. You know, movies that are better than that top 20.

[thklai]

What the hell are you talking about ? Police Story was so badass ! I do agree that Project A 2 should not be there. And Knockabout should be there as well. And don't forget Once Upon A Time In China. It was a masterpiece. I agree with Iron Monkey, Ip Man, and The Prodigal Son.

[rockersrules2]

what is the name of this song and who is the band?

[Mystical218]

whre can i watch beast cops or Born Invisible

[wushu69]

horrible music. i couldnt make it through the first 2.

[simgid25]

true I didn't like the music XS it just doesn't fit this vid

[Terra70]

Where would you put Jackie Chan's The Young Master in that list? Or is it even in your top 20?

[aco2302]

NICE WORK

[XxMG42gunnerxX]

Man, I cant believe you left out Hard Boiled

[Wasp1984]

Damn you morons on youtube. Do you people always have to put fuckin rock or rap in everything? Why not just make a compilation of movies with the real sound for once? Damn.

[drunkenmaster1605199]

Whoa, sorry. Cheer up, its nearly christmas

[kerelberel]

He's right. Nobody cares about your montaging skills, but about the footage. And that's not an insult, it's true.

[TheKid3745]

What songs are these

[tkungfool]

the only movie I disagree with SPL, I thought it was way over rated. I can see the argument against Kung Fu Hustle but I can see it being on the list.

[TVAExtreme]

kung fu hustle was funneh as fvuck xD

[battieboy04]

whats the first song that played called?

[drunkenmaster1605199]

sonata antartica - victoria's secret

[carychunlee]

what the hell...only one Donnie Yen movie on the list?

[elemenz888]

Holy shit... police story had some hardcore oldschool real insane stunts! I'm sure hollywood got all those methods banned ages ago!

Respect to those eastern stunts... omg that was madness!

[johnwoofan]

what the fuck?! No Hard-Boiled it should have been number 1 but anyway the list was great!

[rediance]

that list was the shit!!... gordon liu forever man... and I liked how the song matched fearless lol

[lartrak]

How were these determined from the HKMDB exactly? I don't get it.

[drunkenmaster1605199]

There was a list on the homepage saying the top 25 hong kong movies, as calculated from the averages of review scores by users

[mikeulisses]

what's the name of the song ?

[drunkenmaster1605199]

Victoria's Secret by Sonata Antarctica and Radioactivity by Kraftwerk

[mikeulisses]

Thank You drunkenmaster1605199 !

[mikeulisses]

Thank you drunkenmaster1605199 !

[darkuser999]

I have to say that this is a a strange list, mainly because you've included so many different genres, such as the martial arts, wuxia/wirefu (not necessarily the same as MA), and gunplay genres. HK action is a huge and diverse category which probably makes up a half of all HK productions. You should narrow it down a little.

[ambucias]

thanks for posting, some real nice movie in that top20.

[xkingxgrimx]

So glad Drunken master 2 was on here, I can never get enough of that movie. me and my old roommates used to use that movie as a filler between videogames and tivo.

Excellent list, haven't seen a good deal of these, but they all look great enough for me to go buy!

[tube4yourass]

compilation of clips good, bloody annoying music along 2

[786597]

i just saw that movie

[BEATSxME]

kraftwerk:D

[dontbeamenace00]

SHOGUN ASSASSIN!

[pandaabuser]

missed new dragon Inn and swordman2 those are definitely better then lots of these in there

[nostromoau]

I tried so hard to get a copy of 'come drink with me' when I was last in HK..God knows what it's called over there..all I got was blank looks.

[drunkenmaster1605199]

I got a copy off yesasia recently

[Drunkenmaster770]

Excellent vid m8. Quite a few would get in my top 20. And as for using Kraftwerks{my all time top band} Radioactivity, inspired.

[kingtigertank42]

nice video :) but most of movies they makeing to day are to darck to see whats going on :(

[ShadowDark19]

Tx the video is cool..and my favorite movie is drunken master,just check the movie and then play dead or alive on Xbox360 and watch the drunken master in the game,he has the exact moves like that in the movie....:P

[ShadowDark19]

whats the second song plsss tell me.Its so cool:P..It will go perfect on wow.TX

[drunkenmaster1605199]

Radioactivity by Kraftwerk

[prolamer7]

please can you tell me what name of song is the first one, thanks a lot.

[drunkenmaster1605199]

Victoria's Secret by Sonata Antarctica

[prolamer7]

thanks, i start to like SA

I think this vid can be great but absence of some legendary films like Fist of legend make it just good :-)

[lengjay88]

theres some shit movies that shouldn't even be in this top 20. I rekon 'hard boiled' should be in there. They need less jet li and more andy lau

[hkrjanety]

where is 'the infernal affairs'?

[ijtpijtpijtp]

Touch of Zen is good but very boring movie
