Well this list is far better than many others & there are only 37 titles listed according to the maker of list.

Everyone has different choices like wise mine favorite martial arts movies are Man from nowhere , The raid

redemption, etc. but it doesn't mean this list is bogus, At least we have to respect others to be respected.
