Arhats In Fury (DVD)

Advantages: fighting content from start to finish
Disadvantages: short film of 33mins

...A good dvd completes my Riddick Collection from Pitch Black,The Chronicles of Riddick to video game Escape from butchers Bay. Dark Fury is a 2004 made-for-DVD animated movie. It was directed by the Korean-American animator Peter Chung, and features Vin Diesel performing the voice of Richard B. Riddick. A nice join up story and tells you what happens straight after Pitch Black and before The Chronicles of Riddick and explained why he had the Bounty hunters after him but only a little bit short this dvd for 33 mins in total,it has extras and bonus to it thats makes it better. it contains a decent amount of fighting actually so is no bad,from fighting mercentary soldiers to vicious creatures from start to finish. Dark Fury" is violent and dark, not for younger viewers who probably should not have been exposed to the films anyway... Read review

...be funny. "Balls of Fury" is a silly but unoriginal pastiche of the sports movie genre that shoots itself in the foot by failing to stick to a single story. Both the director and star's comic timing are off, which curtails the opportunities for belly laughs. The writing is patchy, with poor characterisation and abrupt shifts in tack. But if you're in the mood for something unashamedly daft, then there are worse things you could watch. If you don't expect anything earth-shattering or innovative, there's enough here to enjoy....

...VHS collections that we all had. The DVD comes with some great little extra's such as the production stills and some mini-documentaries which add greatly to the value. One of the most interesting additions for the Lee fan is the commentary by Hong Kong film historian Bey Logan. He presents some great insights into the background and nuances of the film and of Lee himself. There are also interviews with cast members and students which together give you some more little snippets into the film and its star. Perhaps one of the more forgettable inclusions was a mini-documentary walk around the Shaw Brothers set where the film was shot. Although this could have been an interesting feature, the way it was done makes it more cringe-worthy than 'must see'. Other appealing inclusions in this super-duper platinum edition are a seminar with Lee... Read review
