View the trailer HERE..
"House of Flying Daggers" hits U.S. theatres on 12/3, and from the looks of it, will be a big hit, on the heels of "Hero".
Check out the trailer, and let us know what you think. I'm pumped!

Wow here we go again another dumb movie with a world without any physics. i just wanna go puke. I didn't mind crouching tiger hidden tiger. But really do i need to see the same damn movie 3 times over. I just wish they would make a movie like this with physics in voled, sure they wouldn't;t be able to fly, but how cares. And whats with these gay costumes there wearing or at least those hats geez. well any way another disappointment coming 12/3

You're hopelessly clueless, aren't you? There's a HUGE dinstinction between this movie and other wu xia. It's mainly the storyline. It's a genre of movies! What do you expect!
If you're so prejudiced and close-minded to thematic montony in cinema, you literally have to hate every single movie ever made. Genres are called that for a reason, because they host a lot of different movies with a similar ideal.
What the **** does GRAVITY or "physics" have to do with the quality of a movie? Wu xia without wires is called KUNG FU and there are PLENTY of movies like this, and IMO, they are bland!
Fantasy is the appeal of these films, and on the success of "Hero", "Daggers" benefitting from the same director will probably enjoy similar success.
It just baffles me how ignorant you can be, guy. Seriously.

Had it on dvd for a while, love the film! Near the start in a Brothal is wonderful to watch.

wow, a statement that ignorant and dumb should never be said again. Expand your brain capacity a little bit, for the sake of humanity.

yeah, whatever
I don't own it YET, but hopefully for Xmas
anyways, I have seen it, and I really liked it....Zhang Yimou did another fantastic job, as he did with Hero and Dragon Town Story...(has anyone seen "Happy Times" which he also directed? It's supposed to be really funny, but I haven't been able to get ahold of it)...anyways, if you enjoyed Hero then you will enjoy HOFD
jeffer_wrote
seen it months ago. beautifully made....Zhang Yimou, what more can one expect? rich use of colors, as in HERO, and the scenery was simply breathtaking...not a lot of wirework or gravity-defiance as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but the stunt work is still exemplary. HOFD is mainly a love story...
but i do think HERO is better....
oh and Major KNight? those "gay costumes" and those "hats?" They're a part of Chinese culture....quite like those blond wigs or whatchamacallit of the British and early Americans....:-)

i saw it. excellent movie....

I liked this film but wouldn't see it again. They concentrate so much on the beautiful sets and colours that it can takeaway from the fighting.

I had the chance to see this film, but my girlfriend managed to persuade me to see "meet the fockers" instead. not saying its a bad movie, but i really wanted to see this.

My idiot friend walked out of House of Flying Daggers at the cinema, tut tut.

And that's a bad thing?
Really enjoyed it. Action scenes were top notch, the story supervised me with its twists and turns and the acting was excellent. The action scenes had a artsy feel to it as while the scenes were gruesome, they had a beautifulness to go with it.
BakaXero
i didnt say it was a bad thing...
i just asked if anyone else has noticed it
Cinemaddiction
It only screening at one theatre near me for approx. 1 week, and I missed it. I'll more than likely blind buy the DVD, though.

'Shi Mien My Foo' is not a Hong Kong movie! It's a mainland Chinese movie!
I liked it, but for sheer spectacle 'Hero' trumps it. Either way, Zhang Ziyi is sweet like chocolate.

it was boring...but i find the actions part amusing!
River Wild
If you watch crouching tiger and love it you will feel the same while watching the house of the flying daggers, the fight scene was good also, though the ending was sad!
Fallin Angel
Loved the movie, especially all the beautiful outfits and action scenes. ^_^
LORDSIDIOUS01
I absolutely love this movie.

I like the movie a lot with the exception of the ending. I would have preferred a happy ending instead of such a depressing one.
Ziyi is great in action films and she certainly was at her most beautiful. I think Takeshi Kaneshiro was amazing also. Andy Lau was great too. The rest of the supporting cast were good also. I just hated the ending though. Other then that a very good film.

I have a passing interest in this...I liked Hero a lot, so maybe I'll rent it sometime.

I liked Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero a lot so I can't wait to see this, I'm going to rent it out the next chance I get because I saw it in the DVD store.

ADarksideJedi

Eccentric

House of Flying Daggers is one of the best asian films I have ever seen.
ADarksideJedi
The only promblem with Asian firms is that they are almost all the same.jm

Not always. Some are though

I can't believe this was overlooked at the Oscars! I thought it was one of Ziyi's most crowd-pleasing performances. I have to watch it again.. I loved this movie!
Arashi13
Ziyi was incredible in this film. Too bad they sullied the film with that depressing ending.
