Kung Fu Jungle/Kung Fu Killer (formely 'Last of the Best') (2014)

[The Dragon]

Man, it looks like Yen is implementing pretty much everything under the sun with this film. Classical shapes, 80s punch/kick/block< exchanging, joint locks/grappling/knees, weapons, fast-paced movements, vehicle stunts, guns etc. I'm going to say this again: pppllleeeaaassseee be a good film!

No doubt. At least he is still attempting to offer the physical side of action instead of incorporating all the exclusive wire and digital effects.

He's getting old-who'll pick up the baton?

[DiP]

One with improved acting skills. At this point, I would say Wu Jing but he still hasn't found his niche yet.

This time tomorrow Donnie Yen will be in London.

It'll be a once in a lifetime moment for us if he takes the time to pose for pictures.

oh yes, the philosophy piece was taking it right back to the grand era, lovely!

the grand final was Ill, just sick and i wanted more, lol.

i was laughing when Mr Chow made his little appearance..

[rdenn]

that chow cameo was so random but it does kind of make sense later on.

[sifu iron perm]

so has the crouching tiger sequel started or still in pre-production?

[rdenn]

think they finished shooting in one country and off the next to do the rest I think

Yeah me 2.

I managed to catch Donnie before he went in just managed to shake his hand sadly didnt have chance to have a pic with him,he is alot smaller then id thought he would be.

[sifu iron perm]

ok cool. This must be a huge boost for donnie and Co. Premier at the london film festival..not bad huh.

Bing Bai looked delicious in that white dress.

[sifu iron perm]

Great responses guys! So it's safe to say that this film is Yen's big redemption from making the last three films?

Not surprised that he is small, most of the really good wu shu guys are little. Even if the northern style was made for lanky fighters, little gymnasts make it look good. There was a time when you could only be so tall, as well as they measured the length of your arms, etc. There are anomalies, but for the most part, little guy, acrobatic kicks.

He's to me, the hands down best working in HK style action in the last 25 years or so. None of them, not Jackie, not Jet or Wu Jing, are able to perform so many styles- northern, southern drunken, JKD, BJJ, that he can. In some way, they always fall short. I hope he quits the action while he is ahead and plays the old sifu or the battle weary police captain. He earned it.

I hear he was a jerk at times, but hey, he is a perfectionist, and as a guy that buys tickets, I'll take it. He never claims to be the best fighter on earth, either. He just give a true 100% and constantly improves.

[Gwai LO]

Oh man! So glad to hear such good reviews. I have been reading great reviews from a lot of places! Sooooo pumped now

Cool pics i didnt see them on Red carpet,i saw them come in thru the back entrance.

Just would of loved to get a pic with him. oh well

[Tigerstyles]

A great night right there!!!

I enjoyed it so much it flew by 100 minutes seemed like 20 to me.. the film was fast paced and action packed

A great bad guy and some top cameos from HKs finest

Mon Hoi was the highlight for cameos though taking a full front kick to the face straight off

bad points where the additional actors pretty bad performances

end fight over use of CGI but was still cracking
