Lone Wolf and Cub kick some serious butt Advantages: a decent samurai movie Disadvantages: dubbing, sound quality in parts as well as picture quality This is a classic old school samurai film. This film was previously banned in this country for it's violent graphic nature, but nowadays I guess we are made of sterner stuff. If you are easily distressed then this moive is not for you. There are very explicit scenes of swords being buried into heads, heads splitting in half, and more blood gushing than you can shake a stick at. The film centres around Ogami Itto, who is played by Tomisaburo Wakayama ... ...to be referred to has Lone wolf and Cub. Itto is the shoguns chief executioner and a powerful man. So much so that lord Retsudo soon wants him dead out of sheer fear. In the initial attack Itto's wife is slain, and Itto decides to dedicate his life to taking the life of lord Retsudo and all those close to him, {one way of getting rid of the existential angst i guess} In a scene at this point he places a ball on the floor and a sword and he makes ... tayloa22 29.08.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Shogun Assassin (Strong Uncut Version) (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

Bulletproof Monk Advantages: amusing in places Disadvantages: over the top in places this film really suprised me! i was expecting to be rubbish, but to be fair its not really that bad. im very picky with my martial arts films as i find the flying through the air and bouncing off arrows very hard to watch, but this is watchable and sometimes even amusing! the ending is the only bit of this film that lets it down for me, but dont let that put you off, just giving my own opinion as i dont like 'fairy tale' endings, all the action throughout ... amyloveys 15.05.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Bulletproof Monk (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

ZU WARRIORS FROM MAGIC MOUNTAIN (1983) Advantages: A magical fantasy with intriguing storyline and full of actions. Disadvantages: Very dated with complex storyline. ...sank. The problem with Zu Warrior is that Tsui Hark is trying to fit one of the biggest novels into a 95 minute movies. This meant that a lot of actions were happening and many stories were interweaving, which perhaps, can be confusing at times. I believe that the time scale of the events in the film were approximately one month, yet I'm not sure if I was able to identify that in the movie. The pace of the stories was told so quickly that I felt ... ...think this film could be a disadvantage for audiences who knows little or nothing about the Chinese culture, as it could be confusing or it could be hard to grasps some of the concepts. If you were to watch it today, you will probably find it more comical than scary as I did 15 years ago. The Special Effects are so dated, you cannot help but to laugh the cheesiness of it. However, you must appreciate the high standard achieved for 1983. I can not ...

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. ... secret23 19.11.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?
