    51 - Animals Are Beautiful People (1974)

    Trailer

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1fqy...e_gdata_player

    The part starting @ 0:40 is heard in many Shaw films, most notably:
    The 36th Chamber of Shaolin

    Drunken part

    The part from about 1:52 is used in many Shaw films, particularly Lau Kar-Leung-directed films, including:
    Shaolin Mantis

    I'm sure the part from 2:40 has been used in Shaw Brothers or independent KF films, but I can't think of any titles offhand.

    55 - MacKenna's Gold

    "Old Turkey Buzzard"

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ehrz...e_gdata_player

    A different version of this is heard in:
    Incredible Kung Fu Mission (a.k.a., Kung Fu Commandos)

    For comparison, here is the opening credits for Incredible Kung Fu Mission:

    Unfortunately, AFAIK, there isn't any info on the source of this second, somewhat enigmatic, version. It's also different from the instrumental version on the MacKenna's Gold soundtrack.
