11. I love that movie.
Especially the Indian with the extending arms. That looked really freaky. Well, that and the decapitations scenes.

10. Yojimbo is hands down the best
Any martial arts movies by Kurosawa...

Zatoichi is great as well.

And I'll probably get some flack, but I thought Kill Bill was pretty damn impressive.

12. There can be only one: "Revenge of the Crippled Masters"
It featured two martial arts masters who had lost limbs at the hands of bad guys--one left without legs and the other without arms. They come up with a clever plan to get revenge on the people who maimed them: The guy with no legs has himself strapped to the back of the guy without arms, and together they wreak their terrible vengeance. The guy with no legs does some amazing hand techniques, then the guy with no arms wheels around and kicks the bad guys silly.

I am not making this up. No martial arts movie has ever come close to this classic.

13. Shaolin vs. Lama
An absolute classic. The Drunken Master movies are pretty great, too.
