Hello,
I love House of Flying Daggers and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...
In the same style, I have a few rare memories of a similar, more modern movie.
The movie poster is, if I remember correctly, orange-tinted, the main actor has a huge tattoo on his back. From very distant memory, the title of the movie is: ..... man
the problem is I can't remember anything else.
Not easy to find it online.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks,

There is also Swordsman 2 on page 12
Ip Man, the final fight on page 23
Man of Tai Chi on page 29
There's also Bruce Lee vs Superman, but I can't remember where I saw it ^^

Hello

Ip Man is a very good martial arts movie.

Hello
I think it's Ip Man. It's the Wing Chun style.
Be careful, there are 4 films about him
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is Tai Chi Chuan style and a bit of Kung Fu.
Flying Daggers is a show style. Not even Kung Fu. It's a very weird Wushu.

Another one I really liked: Fighter in the Wind

Oh terrible crying freeman, I did quite enjoy it at the movies back in the day. Excellent, thank you for the memory.

Personally, I didn't like it; I found that it was a bit poorly acted (well, that's the Asian style...) and the fights were too choreographed.

You can also check out Jet Li's biography, there’s plenty of material, for example, Once Upon a Time in China, Fist of Legend, and many others...

Mmm, mmm. You might be right. I was mainly watching the feats of the guy in question.
I can't do Muay Thai anyway...
A guy who has done movies but is a true weapon of a man is Steven Seagal. Traditional Aikido.
