Films like Eagle's Claw.

Eagle's Claw (1977) reads as Neutral, breathless, measured kung-fu / independent, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
