A MARTIAL ARTS EPIC AND A TRUE CLASSIC

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Zhang ******************************************* ********* Hero has to go down as one of the best films ever made, if just for the Cinematography alone. It is visually spectacular and the use of colour is amazing. I really love these eastern martial art epics but i can assure you even if YOU don't you will still love Hero. It stars Jet Li as a nameless warrior brought before the king to explain how he defeated the 3 most feared assasins in the ...
...Flying Daggers which was made after Hero, but Hero stands head and shoulders above them both. 10/10 Summary: An martial arts epic, that will have even not martail art fans begging for more!! THIS REVIEW IS ALSO POSTED ON DOOYOO BY ME UNDER THE SAME USERNAME ...

Review of Hero (DVD)

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 ...

Review of Once Upon A Time In China - Complete Trilogy (DVD)

Classic films!

Advantages: Great films, good commentary, great price
Disadvantages: Nothing...as long as you like Karate Kid films :P

...fell in love with it. The storyline is so-so, but the performances and characters were just so awesome - who could forget Mr. Miyagi! It's great for younger boys who can relate to Daniel, and the films also teach good morals. The special features for the box set are limited to some audio commentary by the main characters, but fortunately it's some good stuff. If you're a fan, its great to be able to see how they are in real life, and none of them ...

Review of The Karate Kid/Karate Kid 2/Karate Kid 3/The Next Karate Kid (Box Set) (DVD)

kung fu fans collect this

Advantages: good price to collect now
Disadvantages: not funny

bulletproof monk is jam packed with chinese style kung fu, yet a bit dissapointing conversations from Chow Yun Fat Based on the very underground comic book, Chow is the immortal Tibetan monk that needs to protect the scroll. the first half of the movie was rather thrilling with good computer generated animation etc. but the second half is rather repeating itself and it is rather boring. I would buy and keep this for a rainy day and when there's ...
...A punk. A chick. In a kick-ass flick. this says it all... Seann William Scott is funny as usual...so if all things failed to amuse you. you would find yourself smilling when movie is over Kung pow enter the fist...... not a bad movie, however, i would't say it is an interesting one. ...

Review of Bulletproof Monk / Kung Pow - Enter The Fist (DVD)

Listen up Sonny boy

Advantages: Actually very good
Disadvantages: overlooked for more well known martial arts actors

Sonny Chiba movies seem to often get overlooked for the more glitzy martial arts actors such as Jet Lee and Jackie Chan and Chow Yun Fat. Many of Sonny Chiba's movies are often mature, and totally action packed, with very good storylines. Many of Sonny Chibas films are traditional period types, such as samurai's or ninjas. The fight scenes are often very good indeed, especially the sword fights. More often that not the films are in the native Japanese ...
