A lot of people have brought up the song! Unfortunately, I never heard the song before making this list. After I heard about it, I search for it and found George Lam singing "A Man Should Better Himself". I really liked it.
Maybe I should make a "TOP 5 Martial Art Movie Songs #0" video with this song...
@StakeJade actually that's not the wong fei hung theme song it is known as generals mandate invented by a general centuries ago. then there is the reboot which i like less which has lyrics added by a pop star. you may know it as a man of determination.

There should be song #0 -- "On General's oders" aka Wong Fei Hong theme -- from Story of Iron Monkey, Drunken Master 1, Once upon a Time in China, and other wong fei-hong wuxia.
Out of all versions -- such the original theme of "Once upon a Time in China", Jackie Chan's voicing (v=-ew_aM1o1Do here) and so on, my favorite is still smth like v=Mnz2ycE3HyQ -- from the Drunken Master 1.
Are you serious??? I mean this is a great song, but a top 5 of martial art movie songs without "Wong Fei Hong theme"!!! that's just not right! haven't you see "Once Upon a Time in China" or "Drunken Master 1"???
This beat yo ma , tan duns "farewell"? how i dont understand this , farewell simply can do what lovers needs lyrics to evoke the emotion or understand it. Farewells doesn't!!!

the best martial arts tune is the soundtrack composed by "shigeru umeba" for "jet li - fearless"
and that is final, it is pointless to argue against that fact

@deankumar Of course it is pointless... it's your own opinion. LOL! Just as this ranked list is my own opinion.

What is the House of Flying Daggers theme doing on here? It's a truly awful song and makes no sense in a Wuxia movie anyway.

Thanks for the recommendation! George Lam did an excellent job singing "A Man Should Better Himself" based on "On the General's Orders".

Yeah! It's by far my all time favorite Martial Art movie. Of course, the fact that Ziyi Zhang stars in it is icing on the cake for me. :P
