Member DiP Posted December 15, 2013 Author Member Share Posted December 15, 2013 But is it as good as we hoped? Haha, good counter. We all expected another SPL. Still, I liked it more than Flash Point as a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member VenomsFan Posted December 17, 2013 Member Share Posted December 17, 2013 Donnie Yen talks about some of the problems with "Special ID," including a Collin Chou fight that was cut... http://twitchfilm.com/2013/11/donnie-yen-teaches-action-star-101-reveals-troubles-with-special-id.html Was there meant to be a fight between you and Collin Chou, who costars in SPECIAL ID? I think a lot of fans hoped for a FLASH POINT rematch. DY: I invited Collin to... It was like this, I put the cast together at the last second. Collin came. There was supposed to be a fight between him and the girl in the toilet, right? But then we had a discussion and he told me his concern that he felt that if he would end up fighting this fragile girl, that he would kind of lose face. So I said, "Okay, I'll tell you what, I'll cut it out," so that's what I did. As I was telling you, there was a lot of problems in the completion of this movie, so at the end of the day I wished it could've fully developed as I wanted it to. This answer doesn't make sense. He says the Collin / Girl in toilet scene was cut because Collin felt he would lose face beating up a girl. 1. The cut I've seen has this scene so what is he talking about? 2. This answer doesn't say there was any fight filmed between Collin and Yen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member BLfan Posted December 31, 2013 Member Share Posted December 31, 2013 I've noticed that some companies lately don't include a dvd sleeve cover if they have a slipcover No sleeve cover is just plain wrong, feels like the companies is saving money at the expense of the consumers.

Member kami Posted December 31, 2013 Member Share Posted December 31, 2013 I liked it. By no means a masterpiece but a solid actioner with reasonably gripping story and good to spectacular action scenes. I prefer SPECIAL ID to FLASH POINT, mainly because the action is more evenly spread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see my Kung Fu brethren, there's still hope out there. Not everything is lost, you still got a fighting chance, Special I.D is rather Special, don't let it die just yet, you can do it brothers!!!

Despite my disappoint, I still think it's a film every fan should see and I will definitely buy it at some point. It should not be dismissed at all as it's still an entertaining movie.

Member VenomsFan Posted January 10, 2014 Member Share Posted January 10, 2014 So the blu ray has no scenes with Collin vs. Yen right?! I've already posted my review (7/10). The problem, is Donnie Yen copped out so bad. Leaving the rest of the movie as it is: After the tea house fight when he is in the street before the the lady cop Fan Jing comes in with a gun..... I'm sorry, but Yen should have kicked some a$$ to show he still the best in the game. It's just a cop out to NOT have an awesome fight scene there especially with all those promos of all the action like these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
