Member Youal Posted March 27, 2012 Member Share Posted March 27, 2012 6inuhDFDD9I Director: Patrick Leung (Twin Effects 2) Cast: Vincent Zhao, Dennis To, Louis Fan, Mini Yang, Xu Jiao Action Choreographer: Corey Yuen In early Republican China, rumors were going around about the treasure in Wudang Mountain. An American conspirator took his well-trained kung fu daughter to Wudang by sponsoring a Taoist martial arts competition, to steal the treasure. Out of expectation, a disciple represented Wudang to compete with other martial arts masters for the championship. During the competition, resentment incurred against different parties, the relationship became complicated, a Korean female Tai Chi descendant fell in love with the American conspirator and the secret of the treasure had been revealed. The treasure is the key of the magnetic field of Wudang, if it’s stolen, Wudang would be devastated. To protect Wudang, a group of young heroes rallied around to defeat grant masters. It’s the time the long-lost Wudang martial arts returned… Performed by 3 strongest kungfu actors, WU DANG is the first movie that captures the treasure of Wu Dang Kung Fu and the magic power of Ying Yang.

Member BaronK Posted March 27, 2012 Member Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yuen Kwei, wires. Yawn. Action looks as insignificant as Shaolin. I expect the same. Nothing. Waste of these 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted March 27, 2012 Member Share Posted March 27, 2012 Really plain-looking action, actually inferior to Shaolin. Too bad what Zhao has to go through with all controversy surrounding Donnie's film. Even in a supporting role under Donnie's choreography, I think he would've made a greater impression than everything that trailer shows. Wires and flashy movements are a declining breed.

Member popsjnr Posted March 27, 2012 Member Share Posted March 27, 2012 WOW!!! That looks amazing.....not!!! Shame someone with the skills of Dennis To is wasting his time in crud like that. Makes the action in Shaolin look awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted March 27, 2012 Member Share Posted March 27, 2012 This is a 2012 film? Really? This movie looks about 15 yrs old, like it's from the early 90's. Another wire fu crapfest. Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member BaronK Posted March 28, 2012 Member Share Posted March 28, 2012 "This is a 2012 film? Really? This movie looks about 15 yrs old, like it's from the early 90's." That's the first thing that went through my mind. Looks like Dr Wai or something. Instead of a martial picture, it looks like YK action style. The sob is even using stinking no shadow kicks! Come on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3blIIr4kQB8 Tony Leung or Tung Wei would have lit this up, even with wire use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted March 28, 2012 Member Share Posted March 28, 2012 The trailer had more wire work in it than the entire run time of "Iron Monkey" and "Fong Sai Yuk" put together. And is the choreography in "Shaolin" generally disliked? I actually enjoyed it and found it very exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Gaijin84 Posted March 28, 2012 Member Share Posted March 28, 2012 I love the fact that the trailer is bootlegged from the theater. Film itself doesn't look groundbreaking in any way, and did they try and imitate the bullet-time film technique when that guy is somersaulting in the puddle? come on now...

Another wire fu crapfest.Pass. @ShaOW!linDude: I have to agree with you a 100% come on this movie it looks like a throwback to the Saturday Afternoon Drive-in Kung Fu Theatre that use to be on Channel 5! Please I mean are you serious and to be honest it might be a good movie but just from the trailer there is way too much wire-fu! Not looking forward to this movie!

Member Drunken Monk Posted May 7, 2012 Member Share Posted May 7, 2012 Oh Jesus, it still looks as bad as it originally did. How many time are we going to see that move where someone floats up horizontally and kicks out with the bottom leg? A rule for kung fu cinema should be that Corey Yuen isn't allowed to work with wires. This just looks absurd and awful and...that music... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member rdenn Posted July 10, 2012 Member Share Posted July 10, 2012 just watched this, i kind of knew it was going to be bad but not this bad, this film has worst fights than even his hollywood efforts. the girls in this are hopeless and weak and they get the most fights, vincent looks bored fan siu wong is wasted as usual and he has only 1 fight which is bad, most of the fights are in slow mo every move is wire assisted and floaty even a a flying box was on a wire and dennis to doesnt really do anything outstanding what a waste of film the worst i have seen in ages... got more pleasure watching dragon eyes and i am not even being sarcastic either.

Member BaronK Posted July 10, 2012 Member Share Posted July 10, 2012 Well, Jimmy's boys are just about done. When Yuens Tak and Kwei get together, good things don't happen. Sammo is toast to me. Yuen Bun? Dragon Gate Inn? Jack looks to never lack a creative eye as can be seen in OC3 and his parts of Shaolin. 2 Yuens stink up Wu Dang as was expected. Next up for the nose pinch fest via those 2 Yuens, MwtIF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DiP Posted July 15, 2012 Member Share Posted July 15, 2012 Patrick Leung and Corey Yuen are pretty much tagged as "crap" these days so it wasn't hard to predict the bad stuff that was to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
