Does anyone know of the best movies that showcase lion dancing? I know Lion vs Lion and Young Master have good sequences... are there anymore worth seeing?

"Dancing lion" is the movie fully dedicated to lion dances. Don't really remember if the dances were good in this one.
"Martial club" is also have some cool lion dances in the begining.

"Last Hero in China" has two good lion dance scenes although one of them is vitiated when an odd centipede shows up.

If I'm allowed to say it overhere :oops: , I have a post on the forum of HKCM about liondances.
In those posts (the last onces at this moment) a few links to liondace 'video clips', but sorry that was not the question :lol:

I think 'Dreadnaught' and 'Martial arts from Shaolin' contain a nice liondance too.

btw. The chicken-centipede fight in Last Hero in China is not new! You can see a same kind of fight in "The Kid from Kwantung"

thanks guys! I've started to learn some of the lion dance steps and movements - just wanted to see how it was represented in film. I have a good list to dive into!
