Enter The Dragon (review)

Advantages: great storyline and actors, the fighting scenes are EXELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disadvantages: It was a bit slow to start.

...in my all time favourite Enter The Dragon. I love this film and the reason being is because the storyline is great and the fighting scenes are excellent, well . . . I suppose you would expect that from the man proven to be the worlds fittest man, highly trained in martial arts. If you are into martial arts then this is definitely the film for you I personally recommend the special edition specifically because it has hidden scenes in it that you ...
...first five or ten minutes as it's a bit slow. BRUCE LEE, Martial artist, Died age 32, approximately 2 weeks before the film Enter The Dragon was released, Unknown Reasons. Some People talk about the way he died, I personally like to talk about the way he lived. ...

Game of Death- terrible film great extras

Advantages: Bruces fight scenes, superb extras, good interview, excellent commentary
Disadvantages: terrible plot, bad taste film, terrible editing

...seminar as well as a Game of Death Revisited featurette. This goes into some detail about what lee wanted from this film and its troubled history. There is also a brief history or Lee's own fighting art, Jeet Kune Do which I tend to recommend to my students as being a decent intro to the art. These are the main extras although there are also some smaller titbits as well including picture collections. My view is that this is well worth getting if ...
...John Little, a version of Game of Death could be produced a million times better than this. This is truly an example of the worst possible taste and greed attached to a much loved movie legend. Get this film, laugh at the terrible plot line, the terrible attempts to get around the fact Bruce died before the story could be filmed and the tasteless use of his real funeral and watch it for the celebration of Bruce Lee at his best and most creative. ...

Review of Game Of Death (Special Platinum Edition) (DVD)

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Confuses Audience

Advantages: See what life might have been like during the Qing Dynasty
Disadvantages: it left the viewer confused with unanswered questions

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon takes place during the Qing Dynasty and tells the story of woman and men warriers and a sword known as the Green Destiny. I was utterly confused when watching this movie and had a hard time grasping my head around the plot. This story line was very difficult to follow and was needed to be searched on the Internet to discover the plot. In my opinion, the movie didn't answer any questions that were set up in the beginning ...
...plot and the characters of the story were to confusing that it was distracting from the effects included. Personally, I beleive that Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was a pointless movie in which there was no plot but just a series of random events that made transitions through the movie. ...

Review of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (DVD)

Must See - Brilliant & Ingeneous martial arts!

Advantages: Culturally accurate (As I can tell), Comical, Excellent martial arts & Choreography.
Disadvantages: Not too deep, more for action than story.

I watched this movie as a recommendation from a friend. - And I'm glad I did. This is one of Jackie Chans' first films and helped hurtle him into stardom. Don't be put off by my special effects rating, a good martial arts film doesn't need them! The choreography is outstanding and carries the film from start to finish. The story is of a young unruly martial arts student (Jackie) who is forced by his father to leave town to train with a legendary ...
...of all, feared by new apprentices'. The young Jackie later discovers the legend is all but an old drunk. He dismisses him, until later through a funny and riveting series of events their paths meet again. As the film continues, Jackie's character, Wong Fei-Hung, is taught 'drunken Kung Fu'. In the mean time it is revealed an assassin has been sent after Wongs' father. I think it is plain to see that this is soley a martial arts movie; the story there ...

Kick It To The Man!

Advantages: Great karate action and cute love story!
Disadvantages: None to say.

I have loved the Karate Kid movie since it first came out when I was young. I was not a karate enthusiast or anything like that but I found the movie to be entertaining and enjoyable to watch over and over again. Ralph was a young teen idol when this movie came out and Elizabeth was a great counterpart for the show. She adds a little romance to the show! No one will ever forget Pat and his unique karate teaching. "Wax on, wax off" will forever be ...
...would capture anyones eye. The championship is obviously the most climactic moment but I found it to be suspenseful even though you knew that Ralph was going to try the "crane technique". Now that the DVD is out with special features, well...I won't be missing out on this. And if you enjoy this one, I suggest getting Karate Kid II as well - another inspiring story of courage and strength. And if you like Elizabeth Shue in the Karate Kid, I suggest ...
