The Postman Fights Back (1982)

aka The Postman Strikes Back

A martial arts movie set during the early years of the Chinese Republic, which was founded in 1912. The titular postman, Brother Ma (Leung Kar-yan), is just one of four men who are hired to transport four cases across bandit country to Lo Yang Pass; the contents of the cases are unknown to the couriers. His three companions are Fan Mei-sheng, Yuen Yat-cho, and Chow Yun-fat.
It's a bit of a mess at times, as are a lot of Chinese martial arts films from the same era, but it's oddly memorable, thanks mostly to the unusual fight scenes that are spread throughout, but also because of a distinctly Western (genre) influence that surfaces soon after things get underway.

Legend of a Fighter (1982)

Considered by his controlling father to be too weak to inherit the secret Huo family kung fu style teachings, fourth son Huo Yuan Chia (Leung Kar-yan) nevertheless secretly watches and learns what he needs to. Naturally, because he's the hero of the story, he grows to be shit-hot at martial arts.
It starts out a little ropey and the comedic (perhaps even political?) mocking of stereotypes do it no favours, but Dir. Yuen Woo-ping's Legend of a Fighter gets better and better as it goes on, giving Leung Kar-yan (aka Bryan Leun) ample opportunity to demonstrate remarkable skills. It's very much in the spirit of a Bruce Lee movie, so fans of his may want to check it out.
