Member HeavenSword Posted August 22, 2020 Member Share Posted August 22, 2020 I thought this would be pretty interesting. Just got done watching Black Lizard and said “ this would be a good movie to watch on Halloween “ due to the haunted looking sets , rain and all that fog that gives it that creepy vibe. When in the mood for a Shaw flick, does anyone else have movies that they like to watch during certain times ? I always watch Boxer Rebellion and Naval Commandos when it rains , I don’t know why but for some reason it just feels more epic haha. For Chor Yuen, I think his films need to be watched at night to get that experience with the visuals and cinematography. To me The Convict Killer in particular is a real treat to watch in a dark room . Killer Constable and Buddha’s Palm are great night time flicks as well. I usually put in a Venoms movie when it’s gloomy/windy outside, like 5 Element Ninjas, Kid With The Golden Arm or Five Deadly Venoms . They just give me that vibe of being inside on a windy day chilling. Then as far as feelings , The 36 Chambers Of Shaolin and Opium And The Kung Fu Master are great to get you motivated . Training sequences always motivate me to get back to working out if I start slacking lol. Girl With The Diamond Slipper is the feel good movie. Great music and it really has that 80s vibe to it. Three movies that I seem to always go back to in general are Soul Of The Sword , Dirty Ho and Ten Tigers Of Kwangtung . Dirty Ho is probably the best comedy I’ve seen so far and Ti Lung is a straight up savage in Soul Of The Sword.....and that pier fight in Ten Tigers is just classic. Anyone else have their favorites ? 😎 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaolinMapache Posted August 22, 2020 Member Share Posted August 22, 2020 I think the mood I am in really does determine the movie I pick. If I am feeling content I may go for a classic Shaw one like the Five Deadly Venoms or House of Traps. When I feel sad I put on low budget kinda goofy one like The Leg Fighters or The Guy with Secret Kung Fu and it usually cheers me up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted August 22, 2020 Member Share Posted August 22, 2020 Definitely pick movies based on mood, I think we all do. But when it comes to weather and seasons, I'm pretty obvious and basic i.e. Shadow Whip, Chinese Boxer, Convict Killer, Sentimental Swordsman = winter time. Death Duel, Crippled Avengers, Human Lanterns etc. = fall and so on. Not particularly scientific. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted August 23, 2020 Member Share Posted August 23, 2020 I can't stand hot weather and found it actually helps my brain to cool down when I watch movies with lots of snow. It's a cheap trick but hey it works! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
