The Most Enjoyable Fighting Films Of The Most Recent 10 Years

By:


If you are looking for a great type of movie to watch, whether it is alone, with family or friends, a great genre to get yourself acquainted with is martial arts movies. Over the past few years there have been some amazing films brought to us in this genre from America, Japan, Thailand and of course, China.

Here is my list of the best of the best martial arts based movies that have hit theaters in the past 10 years.

I will start this list off by mentioning the incredible movie, Equilibrium. This movie stars Christian Bale, as well as Taye Diggs in futuristic setting when humans take drugs to suppress human emotion. This movie shows us the "Gun Kata," a very cool form of martial arts involving guns, as the name would suggest.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon would have to make any list about genre changing films. This movie was groundbreaking at the time, exposing us to people essentially flying and running across tree tops for the first time.

Another movie to include on this list would be Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: Volume 1. Both movies in this story are great, but number 1 has the better fighting sequences. The Bridge against the Crazy 88 is one of the better fighting sequences of all time.

Another great movie to watch if you are fan of these types of movies is Hero. Jet Li stars as a nameless warrior and this film is told in a very cool sequence. Jet Li tells flashbacks of various battles, in a manner similar to the great Kurosawa film, Rashomon.

Finally I have to include District B13. This film got overshadowed by the similarly named District 9, but they have nothing to do with each other. District B13 is a very fun watch, and showcases some amazing Parkour skills.

Hopefully there is a film on this list that you have yet to see and will add to your own list.
