Kung Fu Mahjong is also really great and stars the same old couple from Kung Fu Hustle.

Shit, I have only seen Hard Boiled. Is "A Better Tomorrow" good, too? I heard the sequel was horrible but had one really bad ass shoot out.

John Woo movies, and most Asian movies in general, really heap melodrama on. It can be really really corny sometimes. Hard Boiled has the least amount of melodrama, and was the last film Woo made in Hong Kong. So far, it is the apogee, the pinnacle, etc of his career. His movies in America have been pretty bad, even the better ones like Face-Off really lack something.

A Better Tomorrow and ABT2 are definitley worth owning if you love Hard Boiled. There is a lot of melodrama, but some utterly amazing badass stuff and awesome fight scenes.

Face/Off was good for what it is, but I agree, it is really lame compared to Hard Boiled, probably because I saw Hard Boiled before I had even heard of Face/Off. I really need to see The Killer and ABT1&2.

i love this thread and basically anything by jackie chan, chow yun fat, tony jaa, and jet li. even their american stuff like replacement killers and rush hour and kiss of the dragon and unleashed. though war was pretty dumb. and now i'm rambling.

but yeah, has anyone seen the dead or alive trilogy by takeshi miike? because hot damn those are pretty awesome as well as being ridiculously stupid

if im remembering the right movie, the first dead or alive movie had the most ridiculous ending ive ever seen of anything ever

check out the sequels too. they manage to top the ending to the original

EDIT haha oh man, its on youtube

Might have to be a bit more specific. Because while the staircase fight was awesome, when I think of Protector I think of this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi399mFwsB8

and how a friend and I were stupid enough to take a drink every time we heard a bone crunching noise.

If anyone else can think of a scene so awesome it got them nice and buzzed I'd like to hear it

METAzraeL

that was totally the best scene in Protector. Ha, I loved how they edited out like 20 minutes of story for the English version. If I remember correctly, didn't they remove the parts explaining why the boy does the shooting?

the elephant getting thrown is the best part

Oh god the bone-breaking is really hard to watch if you have ever broken a bone before.

I wonder what kind of release Ong-Bak 2 will get. I hope they don't edit the shit out of it and turn it into a b-movie mess like they did with his other films.

The Protector is the best film

that staircase fight gives me wood every fucking time

Here here.

Long takes are maybe my favorite thing in fight scenes, and they are so rarely used now-a-days.

as I said, single greatest scene ever

Everybody should see The Protector at least once. It only takes about five minutes for the non-stop badass action to show up.

Fuckers shouldn't have stolen his elephants

You are so wrong.

So very wrong.

Hustle is funnier and it's got better fights.

The One is probably going to be worse than the live-action DBZ thats coming out soon.

I really, really doubt that.

I mean, don't get me wrong, The One is a terrible, god-awful movie, but I just don't think anything will be able to top the Dragon Ball movie.

Dr.Funkenstein

Uh no because Dragon Ball Evolution is gonna be fantastic

august

Any film with the word evolution in it is automatically good.

And the fact that it's a dragon ball movie is gonna make it double good

I've got some old 1980's lookin' live action dragon ball movie on vhs. It is hilarious.

-SPI-

The unofficial chinese movie or something else?

BYToady

I have no idea. All I know is that it is hilarious.
