Member DiP Posted January 5, 2015 Member Share Posted January 5, 2015 The Monkey King, Iceman and Kung Fu Jungle took in 1.3 billion yuan altogether. This year Yen aims to go higher with Iceman 2, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2 and Ip Man 3.

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted March 15, 2015 Moderator Share Posted March 15, 2015 1:00 of Donnie (x 2!), which is arguably better than the whole of 'Special ID' - HTbmP3Nhp_Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member paimeifist Posted March 15, 2015 Member Share Posted March 15, 2015 Good stuff, thanks for sharing. I have had Special ID in the netflix queue for a while, should I just remove it? Lol. Note: I did like Iceman more than most I think. I found it fun and entertaining, but nothing great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car chase alone is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually reviewed both of these movies, so while all opinions are of course subjective, to see a comparison on both coming from the same voice, feel free to check out the links below: 'Iceman 3D' review - http://www.cityonfire.com/iceman-3d-2014-review-donnie-yen/ 'Special ID' review - http://www.cityonfire.com/special-id-aka-special-identity-2013-review/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member paimeifist Posted March 16, 2015 Member Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hm, I think I agree with both of you on Iceman for the most part, maybe the general view on it is better than I thought? I'll probably watch Special ID at some point, I just won't make a priority of it... I hope Kung Fu Jungle comes to a theatre near me!

Member Keung Posted March 16, 2015 Member Share Posted March 16, 2015 The car chase is the only part of Special ID worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted March 16, 2015 Administrator Share Posted March 16, 2015 Argh! SPECIAL ID is an entertaining film with some poor scripting, great action, and one big "Doh!" moment at the very end (after a fantastic action climax is over). Well worth seeing. It's like a lot of the old HK movies that were only good for the fights, with retread plots and underwritten characters. I think the main reason everyone shits on this film is that these days we expect better (and why shouldn't we), and it needed another fight scene or two. But the car chase and subsequent fight are excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted March 27, 2015 Member Share Posted March 27, 2015 There's something fishy about the article. If it's true, Yen will take back his words after shooting completes. He always says things like this when he feels pressured or exhausted from shooting demanding action scenes. Besides, he's attached to several projects at this point so he can't back out anyway. http://www.jaynestars.com/movies/donnie-yen-plans-to-step-down-from-action-films-after-ip-man-3/#comment-606032 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted March 27, 2015 Member Share Posted March 27, 2015 He is supposed to be shooting Noodle Man in July. I don't know what his other projects are after that, but maybe not so much retire but needs to take a breather. It seems he's working himself to the bone and could use the break to "recharge the battery". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted March 27, 2015 Member Share Posted March 27, 2015 OK, now it looks like Donnie is taking the Jet Li route with Ip Man 3 being his last martial arts film but not his last action film. https://sg.entertainment.yahoo.com/news/donnie-yen-ip-man-3-may-final-martial-063900564.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mpm74 Posted March 27, 2015 Member Share Posted March 27, 2015 Chan, Stallone, Arnold and pretty much every film star - action or not - has said this. 99% of them pull their word. Yen's only saying this because all the work he has lined up. Music bands have said this. When you have to announce it, it's usually BS. It's in their blood. They will keep going as long as they're in demand. Save this thread and mark my word. It'll be okay DiP. I promise. We might even see a Drunken Tai Chi II.

Member yojimbo Posted March 27, 2015 Member Share Posted March 27, 2015 I agree with everything that mpm74 said It is like people threatening to jump off a building. A person who was going to do it, would have jumped. Not waited for people to gather and someone to talk him out of it. He should be happy people still want to see him. There are plenty of actors and martial artists that would love the attention and job offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted March 28, 2015 Member Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yeah I think he's just going to more or less "take a break" rather than retire. He put too much on his plate the past year and a half and he definitely needs a break. However, if he does in fact retire, he will have a hell of an opponent as his final opponent on screen.

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted March 28, 2015 Moderator Share Posted March 28, 2015 This isn't the first time he's brought up the idea of retirement, back in 2009 he stated he was going to quit within the next 4 years.....6 years later, that clearly hasn't happened. - http://www.kungfucinema.com/news/at-top-of-his-game-donnie-yen-plans-retirement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
