Sammo Hung is an awesome director IMO

I've only seen three of his films and they've all impressed me. His best I think is The Prodigal Son, followed by Eastern Condors and then Millionares Express. I think Prodigal Son is the greatest, funniest old-school Martial Arts film I've ever seen.

He totally has a good grasp of comedy and drama. What other films should I check out?

Remember, I'm only interested in the films he's directed.

Check out Spooky Encounters, Warriors Two, and Knockabout.
I also liked the more recent Moon Warriors.

Definitely "Iron Fisted Monk". It is his directorial debut and ranks quite high with his other films.

As Tom has already listed lots of his other films, I can only agree to check out "Carry on Pickpocket".

Another hilarious action comedy directed by him is "Pantyhose Hero" which many people regard as anti-gay, though. Personally, I cannot agree and I cannot believe that there is no DVD of this film, yet.

Oh, and of course the wonderful "Magnificent Butcher" which he co-directed.

Definitely Encounters of the Spooky Kind.
