Can you name some classic martial arts films?

My friend is making a movie that will parody martial arts movies, and he has asked me to write the title song. Within the song, I'm supposed to reference famous titles and actors. However, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this genre -- all I know for certain is that the movie will poke fun at "The Karate Kid", "Kill Bill", and the work of Bruce Lee. I would really appreciate some suggestions that I could use as a starting point for my research. Thanks a lot!

There's always Rocky, if you're looking for that kind of movie. Another movie that comes to mind was Bloodsport, another of those "karate kid" genre movies.
