I suggest you watch the early Jackie Chan movies such as:
A) Zui quan (1978) (as Jacky Chan) .... Wong Fei-Hong
... aka Challenge (1978) (India: English title)
... aka Drunken Master (1978)
... aka Drunken Monkey in the Tiger's Eyes (1978)
... aka Eagle Claw, Snake Fist, Cat's Paw, Part 2 (1978)
B) Mad Mission series
or Yun-Fat Chow's films:
A)Lashou shentan (1992) .... Yuen (Tequila)
... aka God of Guns (1992)
... aka Hard-Boiled (1992) (International: English title)
... aka Hot-Handed God of Cops (1992)
... aka Ruthless Super-Cop (1992)
and finally a kung-fu splatter movie:
A) King of Strength (1991) (USA) (literal English title)
Li wang (1991) (China: Mandarin title)
Riki Ô (1991)
Story of Ricky, The (1991) (USA) (video title)
The last one is sooo badly made that it is hilariously funny. Watch this with some buddies and beer (optional)!

I wouldn't say Couching Tiger is hong-kong school. The production quality and script is too good.
Hong Kong school = Tsui Hark, Wong Kar Wai, Woo, etc Films with Maggie, Michelle, Hsu Chi, Jacky, Jet Li, Anita, Tony, Leslie, Chow Yun Fat, etc
My favorites:
(basically, anything with Jet Li except Black Mask and Hitman)
Tai Chi Master
Fist of Legend
My Father is a Hero
Fong Sai Yuk I & II
New Legend of Shaolin
The Protector
Iron Monkey
Wing Chun
Once Upon a Time series
Drunken Master II
Green Snake
Police Story
Rumble in the Bronx
Who am I
A Better Tommorow
Hard Boiled
Bullet in the Head
Infernal Affairs series
PTU
So Close
The Lion Roars
The Heroic Trio
