Don`t set your expectations sky high. While it`s good movie, villain has no(or very little) martial arts experience in real and you see it in choreography. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already decided that by watching the trailer. It looks lavish and spectacular. Got some minor big trouble in little china vibes probably because it looks adventurous and over the top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Yggdrasil Posted April 10, 2023 Member Share Posted April 10, 2023 I don't know if you regard films from 1994, classic, but I finished watching Burning Paradise from Vinegar Syndrome today. I wasn't expecting it to be this good, but I suppose with Tsui Hark as a producer, it had to kick arse. I was pleasantly surprised to see a young Fong Sai Yak, having only seen the two films which starred Jet Li. Wanted to see if there was an audio commentary, which there was, but I couldn't hack her voice. So ordered the Eureka version as well, just for Frank Djeng. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the time period for the sub-forums you're posting in denoted at the end of their titles - Classic Martial Arts 1920 - 1985 Modern Martial Arts 1986 - Present Hope that clears it up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yihetuan Posted June 11, 2023 Member Share Posted June 11, 2023 Wow after listening to the audio commentary by Frank Djeng, I had no idea that Willy Chi Tin-sang was essentially blacklisted from the HK film industry because he had an illicit affair with co-star Carmen Lee while he hid the fact he had a wife and family back in Canada at the time. Apparently that was seen as a major character flaw and made him untrustworthy. I was wondering why his career didn't seem to take off? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite how everyone felt about Drunken Master III, this film was a great vehicle for him. Would have been nice to see him in more films.

Truly a tragedy Just a slight correction, I wrote that Willy Chi had a wife and kid back in Canada but I meant the US. Also, it was Johnny To who apparently discovered Willy Chi and wanted to nurture him to be the next big martial arts star but after hearing about Willy having a family back in the States while being in a relationship with Carmen Lee was too much for him and he basically spread the word to make Willy persona non grata. According to Frank, Willy still lives here in the US and is a successful businessman doing business with China. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted June 11, 2023 Member Share Posted June 11, 2023 Wow, interesting trivia on Willie Chi. I always wondered where his career had gone off after all these years. Shame he never pursued acting after the 1990s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
