I am Wong-Fei Hung from Fu-Shan

Advantages: something for everyone, even women love these movies
Disadvantages: A little dated now, sometimes a little to tongue in cheek.

...portraying this person but the Once Upon A Time in China movies tell the legend the best. Some small elements of fantasy within some fight scenes but for the most part raw hard hitting martial arts. Films are better in cantonese with subtitles rather than cheesy dubbing. This box contains the first three of a total of six movies. The other three movies are titled Last Hero in China, Once upon a Time in China and America, {Kung-Fu shenanigans in ...
...6 {avoid this, this is the only one that doesn't star Jet Li and it's very poor} Much like Rocky through the course of the movies you see a love relationship blossom between Fei-Hung and Aunt Yee {no relative} The films also continue the story so you really build an affection for the charachters, such as Ah Soh, Ah Fu, porky, and Clubfoot. The films contain loads of humour and in parts are hysterical. I love ther part where Wong Fei-Hung woh happens ...

Out For Justice Film Review

Advantages: Fight Scenes
Disadvantages: Awful Dialogue

...figure and extravagant dress sense. Out For Justice, however, was a by-the-numbers action flick, with Seagal playing Gino Felino, a tough, incorruptible Brooklyn cop, who was out to avenge the death of his partner Bobby Lupo. It's actually a solid little action movie in itself, which never tries to be anything more than what it is. The introduction has to be one of the most badass openings to an action film I've ever seen: Seagal spots a black PIMP ...
...bold, red lettering: "STEVEN SEAGAL: OUT FOR JUSTICE." Scene end. The fight choreography, in general, is easily the best I've seen from Seagal. The film's pool hall scene, in particular, is an absolute classic, which sees Seagal taunt, tease, and beat down the entire bar -- a majority of the time on his knees -- with a pool ball wrapped in a hanky. It would be rude to talk about Out For Justice and not mention William Forsythe -- Seagal's enemy here ...

Review of Showdown In Little Tokyo (DVD)

van dammes double impact

Advantages: a clever film and rather enjoyable
Disadvantages: typical van damme acting but hard to play two people

as van damme films go this is probably the best he has done.playing to parts at once as brothers seperated at birth and reunited 25 years on is admirable given van dammes lack of acting quality.basically a story of two different brothers seperated as infants due to the brutal slaughter of their parents by chinese underworld gangsters.it revolves around a bridge that was constructed using the expertise of van dammes parents who were then executed ...
...the bridge profits over the years.their bodyguard at the time arrived to late to save his parents and with the babies being left in the car he grabbed one and headed off while the childminder made off through the bushes with the other.one was left and raised in hong kong while the other was taken and raised in france then bought to america to run a karate business.basically the bodyguard takes chad(van damme) to hong kong to find his brother alex(also ...

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. ...
