.....searching.......... :D

I watch X3 today since I got bored and ADC is still down. I must say that I'm so disappointed on this X trilogy. It fuckin sucked ass! This third one made it even worse. They should've just stuck with Animation. I cant believe that Marvel allowed the movie industry to twist the comic series too much..... I dont even want to see what kind of shit they will reinvent on Ghost Rider.....

Marvel is actually supposed to be launching their own film studio so they don't have to share with companies like Fox. It makes sense, I guess...but all those comic book movies will just suck that much more. Seriously...comic books are for kids. Leave it alone.

X2 was ok, but yeah, X3 sucked ass.

Just downloaded Black Night...

that was a loooong time ago. Just saying that they should have based the movie close to the original......:nana:

Update: District B13 is seriously awesome. Who knew the French would finally make a decent movie? There's a lot of really decent martial arts and those guys move around buildings like fucking spider monkeys. There's an english dub version out there, but I recommend the french version with subtitles. Any dubbed film loses a bit of it's appeal.

^yeah I just Dl'd it and took a quick peek. There are some French ricers in there.... ha ha ha...

where can I get said movie?

www.isohunt.com :)

^Indeed. I'm pretty sure it's on Torrentspy, too.

ok, jus finished watching B13. Good shit. Good action. Finally, a movie with a plot......... good find Steve.... next?

Have I ever steered you wrong, Arnel?:D

Things are starting to dry up for me at the moment, but I'll keep you posted.

Edit: The more I watch District B13, the thinner the plot seems. It's not Steven "Same Thing" Segal bad (thanks to Aerorob454's dad for that), but it's not too interesting altogether. But then again, you're not watching it for the plot/dialogue, are you?

Steve is right. The plot is there only to kill the time inbetween the action scenes. Which are insane. I've only seen the "dubbed" version in which the used a mix of English, Irish, and American voice actors. I don't quite understand why they did this, but the voices seem to fit the characters. So it's not that ridiculous. I'd much rather watch the subtitled version to get a real hold on things.

I believe this movie was made because Luc Besson was called out by one of the many crazy-ass Thai films that Steve and I have seen. Although I looked his bio up on IMDB.com and it says he was a co-producer for Ong Bak. Ah, the plot thins. You all know him best for his work - The Transporter and The Transporter II.

The movie itself is WAY too short, but it manages to get right to the point. And that point is " you WISH you could do this kinda shit."

You forgot "Leon: The Professional".

GT did you watch Election? what about SPL? Dragon Squad? Very good cop/ganster movies.

Dragon Squad sounds quite familiar...dunno about the others. I just kind of stumble across stuff.

Well, just watch SPL if not the other two. It's one hell of a cop/ganster flick. I'm sure you're pretty familiar with the martial artists in that one (no, not Jet).

I had to resurrect this one from the dead just because I've seen so much good shit lately.

SPL - Simply awesome action/cop flick
Dragon Squad - Non-stop action and blood flick
Dragon Tiger Gate - Awesome Donnie Yen flick with much ass-kickery (just as SPL delivers)
Death Trance - Japanese weirdness with vampires, zombies, swords, guns, some dude with a coffin, and a purely surrealistic ending
SARS Wars - Fucking hilarious Thai horror/comedy flick
Dragon Reloaded - I nearly pissed myself laughing
The Edukators - Sure, it's German, but it's damn good
Flirting Scholar - Hilarious Stephen Chow flick
Undercover Hidden Dragon - Another hilarious Ronald Chueng flick

There were others, but I forget right now. I just noticed how many flicks I watched with "dragon" in the title. Hahaha...I rule.

Have you seen Fearless Steve? I thought that was a good movie.

I think in this same thread he stated that he watched Fearless.

Steve, there is also Dragon Reloaded II. The correct title of the Stephen Chow would be FlirtONG Scholar...incorrect in the English language, yes, but I'm sure you'll figure out why since you watched it.

Watch the Shopaholics, it has none other than Cecilia Cheung in there. Hot as usual, but she also speaks some cute Japanese/English/French in the movie. Good searching :).

Yeah...Fearless is just an awesome flick. At least Jet Li got out of the martial arts movie game on top. But it'll be interesting to see if he really stays out of fighting flicks. I mean...what the hell else would he do?

So would Dragon Reloaded II be Dragon Loaded III? Or is it Undercover Hidden Dragon. If there is a third installment that isn't Undercover Hidden Dragon and it stars Ronald Cheng, I don't even see it on IMDB. And you're right...the correct title of Flirting Scholar does make more sense, but it makes it confusing to an english speaking audience.

And honestly, as hot as Cecilia Cheung is, she mostly does romantic kind of stuff...not my style. I loved her in My Kung Fu Sweetheart just because she was super hot and she did the fight scenes. Arnel is the one who's absolutely obsessed with her. :D

To be honest I really didn't read most of this thread..

Chris, if you liked Fearless, I strongly suggest watching Dragon Tiger Gate or Arahan. Both have the same sort of really intense fight scenes. Plus Arahan is pretty damn funny. I think Dragon Tiger Gate was based on a comic book (Bouncer would probably know)...and it's got Donnie Yen (better known as Iron Monkey).

I'll have to check em out, thanks for the suggestions Steve.

Steve, DTG's story licked balls. The fighting scenes were ok until it they went all computer imagery on your ass.

I'm set to watch Dog Bite Dog, said to be one of the most violent films from HK in years.

Yeah...DTG had a weak story, but c'mon...it's not like that's why you were watching it. I just wanted to see Donnie Yen and Nicolas Tse stomp some ass. On that end, it paid off. Easily one of Yen's more impressive performances. Kind of reminded me of older Biao Yuen films. What ever happened to that guy, anyway?

Anyhow...The City Of Violence is pretty damn good for a cop/martial arts flick. In typical Korean style it starts off as a rather mediocre good-cop-gets-vengeance-for-friend story and end up in a final fight scene lasting a good 20 minutes where 2 guys take on 100 guys and ruin their shit. I'll have to check out Dog Bite Dog. If it's even close to as violent as Hard Boiled or the first 2 A Better Tomorrow movies, I'll be happy. Currently I'm downloading a Tony Jaa movie from '99 called Spirited Killer. That...and a Stephen Chow flick called King Of Beggars

W00t! Double post

Hey bouncer...maybe you can explain something to me. I just got done watching Dog Bite Dog and I don't get it's rating. Sure, it had a bit of fairly brutal violence and a lot of scenes that suggested things without actually showing them, but how in the world did it get an HK Category III rating? Hell...John Woo has gotten away with way more violence and gore and still received a IIB rating. All in all, I thought it was a bit of a disappointment. Just another "cold blooded killer with a good heart while cops track him down" kind of flick.

Can't answer you yet bro, didn't get around to watch it yet. Maybe it's the type of violence, since we all are so used to semi-automatic weapons firing in parking lots.
