Martial Arts Movies With The Most Exciting Final Battles This article showcases six classic martial arts films where the final battle is the peak of the movie, featuring legendary names like Jackie Chan and iconic films such as The Five Deadly Venoms. When it comes to the martial arts genre, it's not exactly uncommon for the final battle to be the best part of the movie. In the case of some, it even be the main reason why fans should check out the film. And that same notion is true of the old-school kung fu movies that dominated the 1970s and much of the 1980s. This particular subgenre has delivered some of the greatest martial arts movies of all time, including Jackie Chan's career-making Drunken Master, The Chinese Boxer, Eight Diagram Pole Fighter, and Master of the Flying Guillotine. Plus, there's The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, which famously put great training sequences at the forefront.Top Kung Fu Movies Include The Five Deadly VenomsAnother is The Five Deadly Venoms, which weaved together multiple kung fu styles, an ensemble cast full of talented martial artists, and an intriguing mystery. Others, which also deserve recognition, invested heavily in their final acts.That's not to say the rest of the movie was slow or forgettable, but the filmmakers clearly intended to craft a story where the bulk of it is buildup, but is put together in such a way that the wait entertains rather than bores the viewer.
