It is appropriate for everyone working on this game to sit down on the weekend and load up a few martial arts flicks. After all, that is where our inspiration comes from! Here is our list. Comment if you have some you want to add. Thanks to Simon Turnbull for compiling this list.
- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
- Duh.
- Kung Fu Hustle
- The primary reason I create this strategy game as a Kung Fu satire.
- Shaolin Soccer
- Not necessarily Kung Fu, but still a fantastic movie, by the makers of Kung Fu Hustle (I believe).
- Ye Wen/Yip Man
- Zhen Si Dan is an awesome fighter who can completely change styles for different movies.
- The Night Banquet
- Hamlet in fantasy Tang China. With Butoh. The production values make “House of Flying Daggers” look Bgrade.
- Shaolin Temple 3
- Early Jet Li. Same plot as the first two movies but it has a great wushu dance and acrobatics scene, not to mention a cool boss fight. Top notch Fu!
- Five Deadly Venoms
- You’ll never guess the ending.
- Executioners from Shaolin
- Stupidest costume ever, but he kills a guy by poking about a thousand acupuncture needles into his body. Its deadly!
- Fist of the White Lotus
- Pai Mei classic.
- Shaolin Vs. Wutang
- Nuff said.
- Shaolin Wooden Men
- A very young Jackie Chan is rather annoying, but its worth it for the wooden men.
- Ong Bak
- Fantastic action. Guy did all his own stunts.
