I wonder what's with the recent wave of people who think their difference of opinion somehow shocks or threatens others. Trying to insult me by downing Ninja Scroll? LOL. Do yourself a favor and save your text, man.

And I'm not even going to mention how my post about The Street Fighter might imply that I've seen the movie. You're a big boy. I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Uh Ninja Scroll rules.

my shortlist
once upon a time in china
the 36 chambers
return to the 36 chambers
enter the dragon
and dare i say crouching tiger hidden kitten?
kung fu hustle was the best thing i saw recently tho hilarious and beautiful

did i win?
im off to watch all the ones you suggested tho so dont hold me to those. what first ninja scroll or ong bak?
i must vote against shaolin soccer
and all the kill bill stuff bored me to death and it felt like i was watching a piss take or parody some of that dialogue was worse than an ed wood film, tarantino should be shot for that one.
shanghai noon? cmon man any other chan film in the universe tops that pile of toss owen(im not gay i just talk like this) wilson? arrgh id rather pull my own teeth than sit through zoolander 2 (sorry shanghai noon same character tho)

Ninja Scroll before Ong Bak.

All you guys go search for clips from Rikki Oh: The Story of Rikki

I'm quite fond of Hero, Jet Li's Fearless, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Black Mask myself. Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story was good as well, though in a different way. Big Trouble in Little China is, of course, a classic, and, dare I say it, I think the Matrix trilogy has some darned good fight scenes. The CGI didn't work so well in Reloaded, but ah, well. They should've used ILM, is all I can say. Also, some of Jackie Chan's earlier work isn't bad at all.





Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, too...
