Hero? I don't think it's released yet. Well, I guess it's out in China and Hong Kong but not anywhere else. That movie should be a good one, with lots of gravity-defying kung fu combat... with Jet Li and Donnie Yen, can't be bad!

Have you seen Bulletproof Monk yet? I'm thinking of seeing it sometime during the next week or so...

That means it will be a very lame movie, actually.

Kamog, ever seen Tai Chi Master (or Twin Warriors)?? I think it is not only one of Jet Li's best films, but also one of the best kung fu movies ever!!

Donnie Yen was great in Wing Chun, and he put on a good show in that Last Highlander film. Although Adrian Paul looked like absolutely no match for him, no matter how they cut that fight scene.

Both of them in one film...that's going to rule!!

I saw Bulletproof Monk. Not bad. Chow Yun-Fat is the Nameless Monk, and like all Chinese kung-fu guys, he can defy gravity. He's not really bulletproof, though. A couple of good fight scenes. He was way better in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. But I thought Iron Monkey was better than Crouching Tiger. Jet Li and Donnie Yen are better martial artists than Chow Yun-Fat... Nobody beats Bruce Lee, though!

Anyone watched Wild Geese previously or lately? My favorite Merc flick. Lots of small arms action. An oldie but a goody.

I'm like the most Hong Kong-crazed moviegoer I know. Often the stories are completely silly and over-the-top, but what they seem to capture well is energy; something which a lot of more polished films manage to overdirect out of them.

Some cool and surprisingly higher-budget films (all live action) I've seen of late are Avenging Fist (apparently originally based on Tekken, but they couldn't secure it) and Storm Riders, and I've been accumulating Jet Li movies when I can.

Wing Chun became my gf's favorite movie (score one for the guys! ) and I'm pretty partial to "women kicking ***" movies in general. That's why Fann Wong in Shanghai Knights and of course, Zhang Ziyi in CTHD were oh-so-sublime.
