I watched another Donnie Yen movie recently, the animation-adaptation flick Dragon Tiger Gate. It's high on martial arts but low on storyline (too many plots for a 2 hour movie). Ip Man is going on my to watch list. Not a martial arts movie, but excellent nonetheless - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Arrows - War of the Arrows. ~ashwin
