2. Ip Man
3. Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior
4. Drunken Master II/The Legend of the Drunken Master
5. Bloodsport
6. Rumble in the Bronx
7. Way of the Dragon

9. Master of the Flying Guillotine
10. Fist of Fury/The Chinese Connection
11. Police Story
12. Hero
13. The Street Fighter

24. Kickboxer
25. One Armed Swordsman
26. Executioners from Shaolin
27. Game of Death
28. Kung Pow! Enter the Fist

A lot of these could probably afford to be rewatched, but yeah, that's roughly accurate to my tastes on this topic. I suspect most of my watchlist would be top 10 though and the rest would probably shotgun randomly. Think 20th is the line where I start liking the movies, though Kung Pow is the only one I think is straight up unwatchable of this list.

Watchlist in Order:
1. SPL: Sha Po Lang/Kill Zone
2. The Raid: Redemption
3. The Raid 2
4. Tom-Yum-Goong/The Protector (was already on my list of stuff I wanted to watch-- just haven't gotten around to it)
5. Fearless (ditto)
6. Chocolate

Haven't seen but this topic has not spurred me to change that any time soon.
1. Crippled Avengers
2. Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky
3. Come Drink With Me
4. Once Upon a Time in China
5. The Big Boss/Fists of Fury
6. House of Flying Daggers

Riki-Oh you should definitely try to see. Even if you don't end up liking it, it's anything but boring and will stick in your memory

It's kind of like The Room in the way that it's terrible but also a must-watch
---

Awww yeah Lopen!
---

Maybe I'll watch it at the same time as The Room since I haven't seen that one yet either and kinda want to.

And yeah I think when the dust settled my list was closest to Inviso's though I've got enough missed movies on the list that it really could be a few people. Either way, I think the aggregate list was pretty good, Bloodsport's criminal underrating aside!
---

I really should watch Kill Bill probably. Shame The Raid didn't win, but the criticisms are understandable.

You're Indonesian, right? I think it's you that is?
---

It's me and Natwaf and pyro_bunta.
---

Yeah, I thought so. This could interest me more in this case... But from your perspective, not a world view... What was the gang doing that the swat infiltrated doing? And what exactly were they? Something like the chemical room, for example. What is going on in there from your country view?

I can accept the fact that there's a cultural difference that answers some of the questions that I was missing, and is simply common sense to anyone in the country. Still not really gonna accept that essentially the killed hostages from the start of the movie were never mentioned again unless subs never picked up a conversation that they did, even though it was pretty clear that was what the mission was.

Asking an Indonesian is the best course to answering those, and you're here.
