What's up with Kung Fu movies?

You , my friend, are 100% corrct, and let me shake your hand for your excellent memeory. You rock! Wei Pai (Snake) is practically out of the spotlight today, and Chiang Sheng died as a result of drinking himsef to death over his wife's leaving him, and Kuo Chiu, his best friend and mentor, said that he died of a broken heart more than anything else. The other ones are still working however.

Anyhow, do you remember Alexander Fu Sheng? He died in July of 83' in a car crash, and prior to that, he wa sthe only person to have ever bought and lived in Bruce Lee's house after Lee died. Many believe "the curse" killed him too. Fu Sheng was so popular that had he lived, Jackie Chan may have taken a back seat. 2 of Fu Sheng's best films are "The Chinatown Kid" with all of the Venoms, and "Avenging Eagle" with Ti Lung, who made a name for himself as Chow Yun Fat's brother in the "A Better Tomorrow" films.

The best villian in the Shaw films? Wang Lung Wei, the eternal creep. He had this beautifully deceptive and evil appearance that just made you jump for joy whenever he got it. Anyway, thanks for helping me out here, you have a great memory!!!

Jacky and Jet
hmm...........
their sorta like rival in the movie business
some actor will never be in the same and i think Jacky and Jet are one of those.
Dont get me wrong i'd fink it be cool if they did.
but it aint gonna happen

last year i saw some good Kung Fu Movie calle dthe Hero i forgot the actors name . Like Any Liew or Tony Leang, this is a Hk movie which filmed in China. i think it's good. it's English spoken movie. thou last week i was in HK for my business, i have talked to someone there abou their HK movie market thty told me that it was clash by Korea and Japan movie. i have seen some Korean movies. i think they are hard too understand. and most of them are horror movie with stupid plot.
and they said that now this industry in HK tren to produce HK mafia movie rather than Kung Fu movie. and Kung Fu movie are going to be afternoon TV series.

thorC> Japan are making some of the best horror movies!

I think you mean Andy Lau. It was called "the Duel." They released a dubbed version of the movie.

i hate dubbed movies
i hate anything dubbed
they stuff it up so much
the voices they dont suit the characters
i prefer subtitles over dubbed any day

I did not know Alex die 🙁 that's a real shame. I haven't seen "Avenging Eagle" or "A Better Tomorrow" but those will definetly be my next rentals. There is a documentary about the Shaw brothers and Harvest films history. I forget the name but I do remenber Samuel L. Jackson narrates it, is worth seen it. The origins of Chinese Opera inspired the best Martial Arts films today. Check it out is a real cool documentary 😄

It might've been "A Man Called Hero." It stars Ekin Cheng. He's a regular superstar there.

What was the movie about?

yah That's right it's the same one . besides have you ever seen The Twn Effect, The Strom Rider ,yet . they're very entertaining Kung Fu movie. of coz full of Sp Effx. which have seen in the matrix.
i guess you will enjoy it.

Yep. I have them. I don't like Storm Raiders too much, my friends love it though...There is no real fighting...it's all CG.

Twin's Effect is pretty good. Gillian Chung is cute. It's so ironic how Gillian Chung and Charlene Choi team up because they make up a singing group called "The Twins" and the title of the movie is "Twin's EFfect."

Yes, I also would like a good "kung-fu" movie with lots of action.

Crouching Tiger & Hidden Dragon was excellent! Maybe the same actors can be used to produce another love story with lots of action.

Also, I will never forget the action stunt scenes where the actor and actress are using swords high up in the bamboo trees. That is a remarkable scene ...truely unforgetable.

How about a movie that applies to "news events" that are happening today or yesterday. Example, sending Jet-Lee into to Iraq to kick some butt. Or maybe in to Bosina to really kick some butt.

The action directors have lots of experience and all they need is encouragement from their fans.

Directors....keep up the good work on the next movie.

yea... most hk movies coming out are like now
theres one called the Bad Boys club filled with special FX

i dont get why they named the movie The Twin effect. its got nothing to do with it. its mainly about Vampires. i know Twins are in it but they dont act as sisters in it.

These days they use more singers in thier films and less martial artist

Not just The ring, but The eye and others...they have that violent type of horror. Really cool. According to a teacher of mine,Europe is making some good horror movies too. Have to investigate that!

now have you ever seen Korean Thai Horror movie. umm. like- A Tale of Two Sisters and Thai horor Movie - Three= well in this movie there are three directors with three different movie. all of them are the great horror movie, thu. in fact one of my friend adviced me to see the on of Shaw Brothers film= The Legend of The Bat and The Buddha 's Plam, which i think they are good you guy must see them.

may be i'm the last one in the planet earth to see Fall Safe which is the CBS movie. WOW i think it's great war movie without battle filed and blood on the movie. everything in the movie is about war room and great scritp. it's about human with power have to deal with the mistake that lead them to war and disaster. if any one have seen it. what do you think?

To tell you the truth I'm not big on Non-english movies.

me neither. it's my job to see those movie.but it is , isn't it? why don't you try?

Anyone out there a real kung fu movie buff??? Looking for some old school Bruce Lee movies that ive seen when i was young. Know of any names or places to check?
