4. Rumble in Hong Kong (1973)
Jackie Chan takes justice for a spin.
Before he became a global icon, Jackie played a taxi driver caught in a deadly chase. The final act turns into a gritty street fight — one of his earliest and most grounded climaxes on film.

5. Enter the Game of Death (1978)
One tower. Dozens of opponents. No logic, just fists.
A Bruce Lee imitator climbs through a tower filled with eccentric martial artists — from monks to musclemen — each guarding the next floor. The final fight is low-budget madness, but impossible to forget.
