Iron Monkey. One of Yuen Woo-Ping's great works. Also features Donnie Yen.

Mr. Mister you can find a copy of Zu Warriors of the Magic Mountain at Aznfilms.com. They have the best prices on Asian films that I have found. I don't know where you are so I don't know if they will ship to where you are. Of course, that's only if you want to actually buy it.

Stay the fuck away from Iron Monkey two though.

Leon is the international title of The Professional. It has about 24 extra minutes that make it a better movie in my opinion.

Have you ever seen Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires? It's made by the Shaw Brothers and Hammer Films. It's supposed to be pretty good for a B type movie.

Yes, I have seen that one.

Mr. Mister,

Swiri was good. I happened to catch it in Thailand though to watch it since I couldn't find any copy in Korea with English subtitles.

Huh. In America, some Blockbusters carry it on VHS and DVD with English subtitles (not all... I'd say about one in 3 has it at all, and half of those only on DVD). They label it Shiri, not Swiri. A Korean friend of mine was trying to explain to me how it's pronounced. As best I could tell, if you read your consonants the way every native-English-speaker I've ever met does, you're going to be wrong either way.

B Kung-Fu, eh? Shaw Brothers did some good stuff, yeah. He Has Nothing but Kung Fu was the first martial arts film I ever bought. It's a pretty good one, but over-choreographed fighting until the end.

And then the movie just stops - they don't really even finish the last fight. I think they ran out of film towards the end, and so they just had to end. I don't know.

It does have one of the funniest damn lines I've ever heard (at least in the dubbed version): "How was I supposed to know he was a police officer? I thought he was just a sex maniac."

When it comes to The Professional, if you haven't seen the uncut version, you haven't seen the movie. It was released uncut almost everywhere else YEARS ago, but we Americans had to wait until 2000 for the special edition DVD before we could see the whole thing. (Except for me, I snagged a VHS bootleg of the Japanese laserdisc back in 1998!)

Side note #1: Talk continues to circulate of Natalie Portman returning for a sequel, with either Bruce Willis or Hugh Jackman as the villain. Nothing but rumor at this point though.

Side note #2: The Anne Parrilaud vampire movie is Innocent Blood, and it rules.

Note: The uncut version of The Professional is called Leon. The US version, which is missing about 24 minutes, is called The Professional.

WHY do I submit myself to really bad Martail Arts Flicks....

Mr. Mister · Post by **Mr. Mister** » 2002-10-23 05:52pm

If you want a really bad martial arts movie, I suggest "Iron-Neck Li". I accidentally bought it at a used video sale because I thought it was the original, 1970s Iron Monkey (I wasn't looking at the label very carefully). Imagine my horror when I discovered I'd wasted $5 on a martial arts movie with no martial arts! For that matter, a plot that made no sense, and nothing that could really be called acting - or a legitimate voice-over.

anyone watched Avalon ?? izzit showing in the states?
the movie's directed by the guy who did ghost in the shell
strangly, the location and cast is polish..show's about young people in the future obcessed with a VR game called Avalon. It's probably the best movie i hav seen for a long time.. the matrix consist mainly of concepts from the guy who did Avalon anyway, (kinnda forgot his name).. a definate must watch.

It hasn't been released nationwide in the States. It has been shown at some film festivals though. Great movie. Directed by Mamoru Oshii the guy who did Ghost in the Shell. Neil Gaiman is writing the English screenplay for it so it looks like its going to be dubbed when it comes over here, unless he's just doing the subtitles. Though he did do the English screenplay for Princess Mononoke, and that was released both subbed and dubbed so who knows. I do know that it's sold at www.aznfilms.com.

Great special effects and I loved how the sepia tones and the use of color made the film unique. Great music too. It's like a mix of the different world view concepts of the Matrix coupled with FPS games and RPGs and some existentialism.

It's not quite my personal favourite, but I just saw Magnolia last night and I know that I'm never going to get it out of my head.

If you could watch a movie that's more than a couple of years old, for the first time, and then say to yourself "If I had only seen that movie when it was released, I would be a different writer today," then you know that the movie has done it's job.

The same applies to novels, perhaps even more so.

If you haven't seen Ronin yet, do so. It's got the great Bob Deniro in it, and the best car chases I've ever seen.
