What are your favorite 80-90s HK movies?

Gee there's so many:

Police story 1 and 2, wheels on meals, Armor of God, the Killer, Hardboiled, Chungking Express
>>
>>62754460
So mostly Jackie Chan?
>>
I recently started watching CAT III movies. They are fun.

Also fairly recently discovered Michelle Yeoh, her movies are great fun as well.

What did you guys think about Days of Being Wild? I personally liked that one the most.
>>
Probably The Killer.

It's just the ultimate distillation of what people think of when they think of John Woo.

Righting Wrongs with Yuen Biao is a pretty underrated 80's HK action flick.
>>
My favorite Stephen Chow movie of all time is called The Flirting Scholar. Even with subs, it's probably the funniest HK movie I've seen.

That's the first Stephen Chow movie I saw back in the days.

>>62757573
Yeah but with different director and actors. Pretty much guaranteed to be shit so I haven't checked it out yet.
>>
This is a fun early Johnnie To comedy with the plot lifted from Coming to America. Good performances from Chow and Sylvia Chang.

I feel like a pleb who only watches action movies, but pretty much anything from Jackie Chan, John Woo, and Ringo Lam.
>>
Does anyone remember Who Am I or something to that effect? All I remember is Jackie Chan having his mouth numbed and being mistaken for an Aboriginal or something because he can't speak properly and a lot of fighting. I think the girl was hot.
>>
>>62759109
Yup, it had a pretty good rooftop fight. One of Jackie's documentaries showed the making of that fight and I remember Jackie getting really frustrated with the tall white actor (who apparently was a skilled fighter, but had no experience in movies) because he couldn't get the timing of his kicks right.
>>
Some lesser known but essential Fat-core:

God of Gamblers, God of Gamblers Returns, Tiger on Beat, Full Contact
>>
>>62760745
>God of Gamblers
Wasn't he also in the parody with Stephen Chow?

I've only seen Days of Being Wild once and it didn't hit me like ITMFL did, but when I think back on it I feel like it was very good and something I should watch again.
