Dude...you need to check out my little weblog...tons of Asian movie reviews. Battle Royale is wicked insane...and the sequel is just as good. Other films to check out: Suicide Circle (a.k.a Suicide Club), Ichi The Killer, Dead Or Alive, Fist Of Legend, Hero, The Untold Story, Visitor Q, Audition, Brothers, City Of Lost Souls, Versus, or anything by Takashi Miike. Oh...and I made a list in this forum a little while ago about the 10 Asian films you MUST see. Just check back a couple of pages.

Edit: Ok...I decided to make it easy. Go here...http://www.hstuners.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21763

Are these movies downloadable on the internet?..... lol.
I will look for Battle Royal for sure. I rented The Retuner, Princess Blade, and Samourai. Samourai is like a Bapanese movie... totally fuckin blows. Princess Blade is errrr.... I"ll you all decide. Th returner is decent.

What's the Legend of Fong Sao Yuk Trilogy about? That's not Once upon a time in China Trilogy right?

Some are downloadable...some aren't. All of the Jet Li movies and Battle Royale along with some of the Takashi Miike movies (Ichi The Killer, Dead Or Alive,etc.) were all downloaded. I had to buy China Mafia Wars, Battle Royale 2, The Untold Story, Suicide Circle, and Hero (although Hero is downloadable, a movie of that immense badassity needs to be seen on a true DVD...plus I got it for $4 plus shipping)

The Fong Sai Yuk trilogy isn't the same as the Once Upon A Time In China trilogy. It's also different from the Legend Of The Swordsman (or just "Swordsman") series. Still good though.

Where can I get the Fong Sai Yuk trilogy? I wish I knew about Hero. It's suppoed to come out of the movies soon. I have the Legend of the swordsman... fucking badass! I also found Swordsman II, in a European release version... but that focker is the same as the North American release Swordsman (or Legend of the Swordsman). I also have Iron Monkey II which is made way before the Iron Monkey released in U.S. All Asian movies critic should also have Twin Warriors on the "must see" list. That is another great combination of actors and actresses......

I also recommend: Ninja in the dragons den and Shogun's Ninja. Not as good as Jet Li's shit, but nonetheless worth watching, IMO.

I got the first 2 installments of Fong Sai Yuk off of Kazaalite. The third one I have yet to acquire. As for Twin warriors...it's good but not his best, IMO. For some reason it's also listed under "Tai Chi Masters" or something like that.

Awesome. I decided they are pretty hit or miss with their movies...Some are completely awesome while others...they just make you want to stab yourself in the face...

If you've never heard of it, look it up on www.imdb.com before you download/rent/buy it. If the description sounds cool then watch it. I've found sooooo many good movies that way.

is kazaalite safe? is it free?

Yeah, it's safe and free. No adware or spyware. They basically just took Kazaa and removed all of the bullshit spyware and added a few cool features like AVIPreview which lets you preview AVIs before you have the whole file...Kazaa wasn't like that. That's why the original Kazaa homos had their website shut down. but you can still download it at http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=kazaalite. I prefer the older versions to the newer ones.
