Ok Movie Mapers, I just got down four MA films (which I haven't seen before) and thought I would rely on your reccomendation to help me decide the order in which to watch them.
Voting ends at 20:00 hours gmt with me taking the selected film and watching it on my big screen tv. So please cast your vote and help Noob decide his viewing habits for the evening :D

Drunken Master & Fearless Hyena are the best.
Cracked fingers was a massive 'sucksass' of a film (ie rubbish).
Snake/Eagle is OK.
In deciding which to vote, I voted Hyena just because it's less well-known than Drunken.
Just don't watch cracked fingers and you'll be fine.
Rgds,
David

Drunken Master is Chans second best (After police story). Havn't seen master with cracked fingers yet though.

Master with cracked fingers is a film greatly enhanced with alchohol...it's so bad it's kinda worth watching just to see how bad it is.
Strangest moment - Young Jackie meets the old master and agrees to meet him later in the woods, where the old master tells him to remove all his clothes and climb into a sack...I was wondering just what the hell sort of a film I had ordered and if the special branch would be coming straight through my door.
Interesting to see that they had spliced in footage from other Jackie films (Drunken Master) into this one to try and make it better - it didn't quite work.
Weirdest thing is Cracked Fingers had most of the folks from Jackies earlier films in too - all playing their stereotypical roles so it could of been much better if the script and director hadn't of sucked.
Still the others were all good, I did like Snake in Eagles Shadow more than I thought I would - well I was basing my opinion on what David had posted.
Drunken Master and Fearless Hyena both rocked in my opinion. I would agree that Police Story is probably still my favorite even if getting them was a tale of woe (Couldn't find them anywhere so imported them from Hong Kong on dvd - a week after they arrived they got released on dvd over here - all that shipping costs but I can watch them with Japanese subtitles instead of English).
