I want to look deeper into Hong Kong Action films, and I usually like paying attention to certain Directors in the case of Hong Kong Action choreographers/action directors as well. Just curious what directors would you consider essential or simply very talented? Preferably they have some sort of style that sets their films apart from other directors. I'll list the ones I'm already familiar with as a start.

King Hu
Chang Cheh
Lau Kar Leung
Yuen Wo Ping
Sammo Hung
Jackie Chan
Corey Yuen
Tsui Hark
John Woo
Ringo Lam
Johnny To
Wong Kar Wai
Nam Nai Choi


Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome.gif! Perhaps not a good director especially stacked up against those others, but I find his films to be a lot of fun and pretty unique.

Also I forgot to mention, since a lot of these directors have tons of movies under their name, if you could also recommend several of their best films for each that would also be really helpful! Preferably ranging from their earlier work to their later work if they stay consistently good throughout their career.

The ones you enjoy please. Would just like a starting point to get into them. I'm fairly familiar with the ones I mentioned already.
