Member Leung Tsan Posted October 12, 2012 Member Share Posted October 12, 2012 wow.... I decided to creat my first topic because recently and thanks to the forum here, I have been listing the movies that were mentionned and that I did not possess or never watched..... Anyway.... I recently ordered and purchased some movies from the internet (again thanks to your links like kungfudvdworld, fareastflix, yesasia or simply amazon) and I already watched some of them that were quite enjoyable..... but tonight I watched a pure gem : Dragon's claws (1979).....from Joseph Kuo Let me tell you that you have to watch the movie.... starring Hwang Jang lee !! anyway, the comedy was great, kung fu was awesome, training was like we love it, and the story was really nice.... this movies has so many furious kung fu fights awesomely choreographies, Hwang as the bad guy who kills the father of the hero and then the hero sucks so much at kung fu that he finally finds an old guy that sells fake medicine that will teach him kung fu...... I was really stoarstruck..... I highly recommend this movie...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMK Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Joseph Kuo films are some of my favorites, movies such as: 18 BronzemenReturn of the 18 Bronzemen The Eight MastersThe 7 Grandmasters Born InvincibleThe Mystery of Chess Boxing The Unbeaten 28 just to name a few. Dragons Claws is indeed a great movie. It's hard to go wrong when you got Hwang Jang Lee whoopin' ass in a the film. One of the last movies I watched was Raiders of the Shaolin Temple. Definitely a fun movie, entertaining, with those classic dub voices. Check out this clip of Sonny Yue getting his Bronze Horse training on!

Member shaolin swords Posted October 12, 2012 Member Share Posted October 12, 2012 last movie i watched was heroes of the east of course i saw it before the movie is a classic abbot i remember buying raiders of the shaolin temple but i think when i bought it the name was raiders of the wu tang it was the 90s and on vhs it was 1 of the movies they put out with the wu tang collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Leung Tsan Posted October 13, 2012 Author Member Share Posted October 13, 2012 Thanks SMK, I saw all these movies except The Eight Masters, The Mystery of Chess Boxing, The Unbeaten 28 and raiders of the shaolin temple..... then I will definately order these in the next few days...... Anyway, yesterday I ended up watching another movie : Taoism Drunkard .... It is a Yuen clan movie withour Woo-Ping.... but my question is : were they on crack or someting else ?? Because I think this movie is one of the most crazy, mad, psycho, I even miss the words to describe it..... the first 10 minutes are a blast...... and then it gets even more weird.... the banana monster, a big iron ball..... the evil bastard, the drunkard looking for some virgin boy that is born the same day as him...... I mean that was really funny and entertaining..... and that was really a funny movie.... although maybe a bit too much but I cant complain about that, as this is one of the reasons I love kung fu movies.... Anyway, another one that I really recommend (by the way SMK, I received the 4 shirts hehe, now every friend of mine and family members all have at least one 36styles shirt heheh- and I personally own the whole collection and some of the same with different colors - good work ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Leung Tsan Posted October 14, 2012 Author Member Share Posted October 14, 2012 well well.... yesterday I watched another of my recent purchases online : Kid from Kwangtung wow.... another gem added to my collection.... and I just realized that the fight centipede-rooster from Jet Li's Last Hero in China was inspired from this movie (inspired is not the word as they almost copy-paste the scene)..... but anyway.... once again I had so much fun, martial artists were awesome, and the final was exactly as I like them.... and I could even add this movie got everything for your entertainment : kung-fu comedy, ghost kung-fu comedy, lion dance, mad practice and training, and the baddest bad guy as usual : Hwang Jang Lee..... If you havent seen this movie, go get it because you will have a very nice time watchin it.... That'it.... ill continue to post my comments and recommendations on the movies I see....

Member Leung Tsan Posted October 17, 2012 Author Member Share Posted October 17, 2012 Just received these 3 movies here..... As I recently saw Shaolin Intruders and loved it, I decided to buy the other 2 movies directed by Tang Chia.... Well both are very nice movies but Shaolin Intruders is to me his best movie..... Opium and the Kung fu master is interesting due to the opium aspect and the way it is the master who is addicted..... but well I was expecting a bit more kung fu...... and on the other hand Shaolin Prince was better but I did not quite enjoyed it as much as Shaolin Intruders..... that said, these 3 movies are very good.... its just that after watchin Shaolin Intruders, I guess I was expecting something even more astonishing.... Anyway.... I also received Bastard Swordsman.... I know it is the same genre as Holy Flame of Martial Word, Buddha's Palm etc.... so I cant wait till I watch it because I am sure I am gonna be entertained at 150 %...

I REALLY loved Bastard Swordsman, but when I saw Return of Bastard Swordsman, it took things to a new level, I REALLY enjoyed the sequel even more. You must get that one as well.

Member Leung Tsan Posted October 31, 2012 Author Member Share Posted October 31, 2012 I watched LION VS LION this weekend..... And all I gotta say is that for me the best lion dance ever shown on cinema was in Dreadnaught..... well well that was before this weekend.... LION VS LION features THE most beautiful lion dance ever... the way they captured every plan and edited is amazing... I mean all the details and the different camera angles makes it an instant cult classic for me..... not to mention all the great and nervous choreographies.... and the comedy....wow.... it really looks like if the Shaw Brothers was trying to make a kung fu comedy like their new competitors Samo Hung, Jackie, etc.... I really loved it all, and was really impressed..... I was lucky enough to get a perfect version of it.... chinese dubbed, english subs, widescreen..... Anyway..... I highly recommend this movie to anyone who never saw it.... entertainment guaranteed !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Secret Executioner Posted November 3, 2012 Member Share Posted November 3, 2012 Fists Of The Golden Monkey. Looks like a kung fu comedy (goofy main character, bizarre sound effects and don't get me started on the dubbing), but the fighting is nice. And the music is awesome too.

Member Omni Dragon Posted November 19, 2012 Member Share Posted November 19, 2012 Did a couple of video's that fit this thread: [bBvideo 620,385] [/bBvideo] [bBvideo 620,385] [/bBvideo] Not what I said in the video but here's a sort of typed version: WARRIOR FROM SHAOLIN aka CARRY ON WISE GUY it was ok it was about a monk played by Gordon Liu who’s transporting the plans of the Japanese army but Eric Tsang & Lau Kar-Leung’s nephew: Lau Ga-Yung characters think its treasure. It was pretty average really. I did find Eric & Ga Yung characters were some what amusing & really enjoyed the way Lau Kar-Wing & Lilly Li fought together as a team surprised no one mention them in my ‘Two main villains?’ thread. DAGGER 8 Story: training under 3 masters: a cook, an acrobat & woman. Oh man I really enjoyed this one I will need to re-watch this one but I think this is now a personal favourite of mine now. I guess the reason is cos I’m a sucker for training scenes I love films like 36th CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN, CRIPPLED AVENGERS, FIVE SUPERFIGHTERS & INVINCIBLE SHAOLIN. Also Wilson Tong character was cool with his 8 Daggers. ODD COUPLE this one has always been a favourite of mine & the best weapons film IMO. The story is King of the Sabres & King of the Spears have had a fight ever year for 15 years but it’s always a draw so they decide to get students & have them battle each other. Sammo Hung & Lau Kar-Wing actually play two characters each by is Sammo plays King of the Sabres & Lau plays King of the Spears which are both old master characters & King of the Sabres(Sammo) takes Lau’s second character(much younger) as his student & King of the Spears(Lau) takes Sammo’s second character(much younger) as his, it might not sound it but I think this works really well. I really like the Sammo Hung as his younger character vs Huang Ha & Billy Chan fight cos of it’s uniqueness it has opera beats(see video below) I know Dean Shek’s not every one’s taste(ok I’m being light people hate him) but I enjoyed him it this one I did find him some what amusing but really I think it was down to my mood.

Member nectarsis Posted November 20, 2012 Member Share Posted November 20, 2012 Just finished: 7 GrandMasters: Damn solid flick, with some tighter editing(scenes, and music), plus more plot and this would be EPIC!! The Executioner (aka The Beheaded 1000): This weird ass movie DESERVES A LOT more love IMO. GIANT Wu Ma, Godzilla sound effects, Jimmy Wang Yu....this is WIN.

Woooord to that.... Odd Couple is one of my very best Sammo's movie..... and I loved the concept behind each actor plays 2 characters, this way we see each one using the spear and the sabre.... not to mention the crazy long and awesome choreographies..... as you said probably one of the best if not the best weapons movie..... but only 2 weapons are featured.... so its always hard to tell which is the best movie..... but no doubt this one should be in the top..... Anyway... I watched this amazing 5 Elements Ninja....... the movie was really amazing.... I was just a bit sad that Lo Meng gets killed too early imo..... but anyway.... the ninjas are real bastards in this movie with their lame tricks and cheats to kill the chinese martial artists..... formations were really great.... anyway.... I was really ashamed I never saw that classic, but at the same time very happy because we all remember the great moment we had when we saw a kung fu cult classic movie for the first time...... and that just happened to me again with this awesome classic..... hehe Imagine the people that gets to see the trilogy of the 36th chamber for the first time !!!! one of the only trilogy in cinema that I enjoyed each sequel more than the previous one..... I mean, I wish I could see this trilogy again like it was the first time.... but anyway, its been already many times that I saw it and it never gets old anyway..... I am the only one getting old haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Leung Tsan Posted November 23, 2012 Author Member Share Posted November 23, 2012 well well.... thanks to the recommendations of SMK, I watched the unbeaten 28 yesterday.... Wow... I really liked this one even more than 18 bronzemen..... loved the fact that the main character is trained since baby to become an awesome martial artist..... has a lot in common with the bronzemen, but the main story is much more entertaining..... anyway, a great movie again.
