I have no idea.

But it lists Jim Carey as the director. o_O

So, I watched Curse of the Golden Flower the other day, and I really liked it. I found it a little confusing but after thinking about it, it's just a tragedy with some other underlying tones i don't care to elaborate on.

Shoggoth · September 2008

Like cleavage?

Is that the underlying tones you're referring too?

Bendery It Like Beckham · September 2008

Stuff to do with corruption and gods and all that jazz.

I remember coming out of the theater thinking it was just ok.

Bendery It Like Beckham · September 2008

I gave it credit for being a tragedy without any moral to the story.

Shoggoth · September 2008

I enjoyed it despite expecting something quite different.

Bendery It Like Beckham · September 2008

I expected nothing and it's exactly what i got.

That's part 1.

It's from 1978, and still in that area when they were experimenting with making him like Bruce Lee.

Oh, how I fear the dark dystopian future of privately owned parking lots.

manaleak34 · September 2008

I thought Curse of the Golden Flower was pretty cool since it's basically a Shakespearian style tragedy plus awesome Kung Fu.

Also here's the staircase fight from The Protector if you haven't seen it.

The popcorn you are eating has been pissed in. More at eleven.

fistful of yen is so awesome.

Ong Bak 2 is supposed to be in all sorts of trouble because Tony Jaa tried to direct it himself.

I guess in retrospect, they shouldnt have fucked with his elephants.

Also, the scene in the skyscraper with all the guards in black is the best scene.

What the hell is wrong with you people for not mentioning Donnie Yen yet

Choreography would be incredible.

Chinese Opera is essentially just that.

Zombies Tossed My Salad! · September 2008

Some one make a list of all the bad(great) Kung-fu movies that one should watch.

Also, I got a copy of The Streetfighter for free the other day

Shoggoth · September 2008

I'm just going to make a random list, to me, the line between good and bad kung fu is so fucking perilous.

As a rule of thumb, any movie that The Shaw Brothers studio put out.

One Armed Swordsman trilogy
Master of the Flying Guillotine
Five Deadly Venoms
The 36th Chamber of Shaolin
Lady Snowblood + II (not really kung fu, but awesome)
The Crippled Masters
Drunken Master + II

etc.

Penny Arcade
