Some of them I have watched more than once and some of them I never watched because they just sounded too hokey and I wasn't that bored yet to waste my time and they came in a pack with one movie I wanted. I have over 500 Kung Fu movies so there is some really bad ones in there.
For me it depends on the movie. Some of them are great, some are good, some are pretty bad. I'll watch my favorites every couple months. Flashpoint, Who Am I?, The Raid Redemption, City Of Violence, Bangkok Knockout (which is a terrible terrible movie, but the fights are super cool.), and many others have had tons of replays. But for every good martial art film there is a terrible one that only ever gets one watch.
Depends.
I got a whole collection of Bruce Lee movies, only watched each one once then sold the lot, never particularly cared much for old Bruce after the first watching, he was amazing and I HAD to see all his movies but for me he was a watch once guy.
Jackie Chan movies I've kept because I can give them one or two years and they're funny all over again, Cannonball Run is still my favorite.
Beyond those two everything else just comes and goes.
I have several (75 +/-) and I watch one or two a week. I find them entertaining regardless of my familiarity with them. When I was young I would use them as reference videos and ask my father to show me the correct application of what I had seen. Those movies, as well as ANY "Wo-Tang" movies, I generally find humorous now. Reviewing these movies and new movies now, after decades of training, allows me to critique fight choreography and continuity, which I feel helps me as a teacher. When I see a student that has difficulty with a particular technique, or difficulty adapting to different sparring partners, I can reference the fight scenes in my head and offer options regarding defenses and counters to various techniques. It may seem a little odd, but looking at the fight choreography analytically improves fight perception.
I truly hate most martial arts movies unless they are representing some element of history and keep it in the realm of reality. I dont watch much tv really.
Rarely. Not just martial art movies, but all movies in general.
Just not much of a movie watcher anymore it would seem.
I do have a list of some I'd like to get around to watching, though.
I just watched Mad Monkey Kung Fu for the 1000th time.
And that's just that movie.
I watch every great movie about once every two years when I see it on the teli.
yes, i like MA movie but depend on quality of movie. i like movie of bruce lee. jackie chan, jet li, donie yen, toni jaa, etc
I'm just wondering how often do you watch your kung fu films when you get them? Do you watch them a lot or do you just watch the one time and leave them there???
