Re: Second trailer for ‘True Legend’

It's Kareem's opinion. Let his voice be heard. If he has a problem with wirework and cgi then let it be heard. I have a problem with choppy editing and quick cuts! I'm not too into Shaw Brothers movies, but I love Lau Kar Leung's films. The way he crafts a message into his films and fight scenes are always superb. Mad Monkey KungFu, Heroes of the East, Legendary Weapons of China, 36 Chambers, all classics.

uh ignorant people have bad taste...lol

Seriously though I can see what kareem is saying. I have a friend who complains of all the cgi in all of the new movies. Hell he jokes on me for my love of Sammo Hung movies. He's a shaw brothers fanatic. To me i like realism too but i don't hate wirework. Wirework can be good if it is applied right to the style of the movie. True Legend looks good to me and I can't wait to see it.

Re: Johnny Tri Nguyen’s ‘Clash’ a hit in Vietnam

Johnny Nguyen is a great talent. Veronica Ngo is pretty talented too. Can't wait to see this one. Hopefull Dragon Dynasty can give this release the treatment that The Rebel recieved.

Re: Thoughts on the future of kung fu movies

I don't know what the future holds for this genre but we must support those who make MA movies with authenticity to keep the genre going.

Good gracious! This is atrocious. I mean. Damn. I love playing the game and all but they f'd up everything including my fav character Jin. I will gladly buy this once i find in the dollar bin where it belongs.

Re: REVIEW: Blood: The Last Vampire (2009)

I thought the movie was overall average. The cgi vampires were terrible. I liked the demon/ninja angle of the movie though. Best part of the movie was seeing my main man Yasuaki Kurata holding it down against those ninjas. Onigen is pretty hot.

Re: Teacher busted for showing ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ in class

No f'n way. It depends on the parenting of the child and the child's maturity. I'm sure all of these kids have seen much worse on tv and on the internet. I've played Mortal Kombat, Conker's Bad Fur Day,..etc when I was a kid. My father threatened me "don't you ever try this shit in real life, it's not real!" Thats all it takes. Kids these days.

Re: Jackie Chan heads all-star ‘Shaolin’ epic

Becuase he seems to be sticking with the MA genre and puts effort into improving himself. It's not like every KF movie he's been in he's regressed. Like I said he can give a solid performance if he's under the right management.

Besides would you rather have Jaay Chou in the lead role?!

Re: Jackie Chan heads all-star ‘Shaolin’ epic

Nicholas Tse is not bad under good management and direction. Mr. Chan and Mr. Yuen will not allow the film with this much potential to not live up to its hype.
Besides Nicholas seems to have a really hard working ethic to improve hos martial arts This film should be very good..

Re: ‘Wolverine 2′ to have ‘extreme fighting’

stdthagreat — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:38:39 -0000

Lies, lies, and more mother f'n lies. The new Wolvie movie will suck ass just like the first one. Fox would have to get the right movie producers and a good script that won't mess up the timeline of the whole movie franchise. Like my man Flava Flav said "Don't believe the hype!".

Re: Awful trailer for ‘The Spy Next Door’

stdthagreat — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:32:49 -0000

My friends it's time to accept that Mr. Chan is way out of his prime. There will never be another true "Jackie Chan Hong Kong movie". I'm going to take my lil 9 year old sis to see this.

She loves watching Jackie and his antics. From Rush Hour to even Police Story. I can't blame the man for wanting to get a check. I don't care how many bullshit movies he does, nothing can take away what he has done/meant in movie cinema history. End rant.

Re: REVIEW: Blood and Bone (2009)

stdthagreat — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 11:01:53 -0000

Just bought Blood and Bone. I really enjoyed it. The fighting was fast and fierce. There was no shacky cam to the fights and alll of the moves were clearly visible. MJW is a great talent. He can act and screen-fight. I wish he could do more films with martial arts.

Re: Trailer for Vietnamese action film ‘Clash’

stdthagreat — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 01:44:24 -0000

I doubt this can top The Rebel, but this still looks decent. Johnny Nguyen has great talent. Veronica Ngo was also very impressive in her debut of The Rebel. I wonder if Dragon Dynasty will pick this one up too.

Re: Sammo Hung hospitalized for heart surgery

stdthagreat — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:21:15 -0000

I really hope Sammo is okay. I don't want his role in Ipman 2 to cost him his life. It's just worth it Sammo. I hope he doesn't let the pressure of the film get to him.

“Bolo Yueng looks like a pussycat compared to the real Chong Li,”

Yeah f'n right. A little bit over exaggeration there.

Re: Hiroyuki Sanada joins ABC’s ‘Lost’

I gotta check out more of his movies. Hiroyuki Sanada is the man. Period.

Oh snap! I didn't realize that this was the same actor who played the main character of Shogun's Ninja (and I've seen The Last Samurai and Rush Hour 3). Somehow I just couldn't connect the dots. His work in Royal Warriors and Shogun's Ninja is top notch.

Re: At top of his game, Donnie Yen plans retirement

stdthagreat — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 00:39:22 -0000

Physically he's not at his peek, but his overall films and choreography are to me. Donnie Yen has such great momentum right now. As a native of Massachusetts, It's really cool to see that the world's current premier martial arts star is from the MA.

I can definetly see Mr. Yen becoming an action director. Maybe he can direct/guide Wu Jing to the next level.

Re: UPDATE: UK release date for Isaac Florentine’s ‘Ninja’

stdthagreat — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 22:50:20 -0000

This looks likea modern day Mortal Kombat film that features Scorpion's and Sub-Zero's story arch to me. Anyway can't be worse than Surf Ninjas!LOL!

@ oh the humanity
Damn! I didn't know the DD is in such a bad condition. I like them too but they have stopped releasing double disc special editions and also cutting back on bonus features. What a shame.

Re: Cover art for Dragon Dynasty’s ‘Battle of Wits’

stdthagreat — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 07:58:14 -0000

Oh it's a warlords movie. Still though, I wish that Dragon Dynasty would pick a better selection with their current releases.

Re: Milla Jovovich going 3-D in ‘Resident Evil: Afterlife’

stdthagreat — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 14:06:03 -0000

Wow. The horror genre just found a way to reep more cash from dead franchises. Just make a sequel in 3D. That will make more money.

Another current wuxia film from dragon dynasty. I'm getting sick of these(I know you wuxia fans can't get enough of it).Why can't they get Ip Man or Legendary Assassin or Somtam.

Re: RZA eyes Chris Brown for ‘Last Dragon’ remake

stdthagreat — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 00:00:30 -0000

If something is wrong you don't just ignore it. Look we all know hollywood has been racist as hell since the beginnings of movies. Was Bruce Lee a racist for acknowledging racism in movies and ignoring the positives.

Re: RZA eyes Chris Brown for ‘Last Dragon’ remake

stdthagreat — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 12:44:34 -0000

I know how you feel, it is a bit frustrating. I'm so sick of characters like "the Twins" from Transformers 2 and "Ripcord" from GI Joe. The stereotypical dumb black male that provides the audience with comic relief. He may be buff too but can't fight for shit on screen. Lateef Crowder was phenomenal in The Protector and the fight between Michael Woods and Donnie Yen (In the Line of Duty IV)was pretty good.
