These are most Japanese films. I really didn't include any American films like Bloodsport, Unleashed, Fist of Fury, Game of Death, Karate Kid, Kickboxer, Lionheart, Under Siege, Exit Wounds, Above the Law, The Octagon etc.. Every one of the movies I've listed above is a must see. I'm still missing a LOT of great movies like The Rebel, Struggle Through Death, Incredible Kung Fu Mission, Who Am I, Dragon Tiger Gate, Righting Wrongs (Above the Law), Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen, Seven Swords, Project A, Police Story series, Flash Point, Tiger Cage 2, Black Mask and many, many more. Even these films are worth seeing. There are literally 100's of great martial arts films worth seeing. I'd say start with all of these and then go from there.
