I know there's re-releases of a couple of Jackie's coming, Iceman Cometh,Ebola and God Of Gamblers but there's no sign of another Shaw deal for example. Far from it. There's so much titles from Asia that's worth releasing beyond the most famous ones. 88 Films are all about exploring lesser-known or hidden gems. There's always titles out there that could be acquired rights to. Edited November 13, 2022 by DiP 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member TigerCage1990 Posted November 15, 2022 Member Share Posted November 15, 2022 I prefer 88 releasing Fist of Legend to be honest along Black Mask. I know Dragon Fist is out of the question with it doing time at a Warners vault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I love My Father's a Hero. It's one of my favorite Jet Li flims. Him and Xie Miao aka Tse Miu made a great on-screen team. I'm hope My Father Is a Hero get's a release it was one of the first Jet Li flims on VHS i bought many years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I had thought you was on about Jet Li's films but I looked around to see if there was a movie of his which was under a different name, which usually happens.

Member AslanBey Posted November 16, 2022 Member Share Posted November 16, 2022 I'm surprised that there are some fellow kungfu fans here who dont like Jet Li very much. He is definitely my number 2 after Jackie, although there are some movies I didnt see yet. I would buy the most stuff coming from him. So push it to the limit 88. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member saltysam Posted November 16, 2022 Member Share Posted November 16, 2022 I don't dislike him but many of his movies i've found underwhelming. Fist Of Legend,Fearless the OUATIC series,Hero i've kept. When i saw Black Mask last year after a number of years i thought it hadn't aged well at all and sold it on. Maybe i need to revisit some of his others but put it this way if i had the choice between a Jet Li or Chen Sing box set Chen Sing would win every time 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge fan of his and I can't understand either why there are people on several sites or forums who despise him and criticize his martial arts skills. I haven't watched his recent movies, but I own most of his earlier ones and for me he is as great as the other stars we are all talking about here or elsewhere. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with hin being number 2 after Jackie (and Bruce Lee perhaps). I rarely like Biao and Sammo outside of Jackie Chan titles for some reason. I would very much welcome more Jet Li titles from 88 Films and I was very happy with "The Master". But im also currently enjoying the Jackie Chan outputs and the new girls with guns genre. I have yet to see any of them so im really excited for the ITLOD and Yeoh movies coming out. More Jet Li would be the icing on the cake. 41 minutes ago, ShawAngela said: I'm a huge fan of his and I can't understand either why there are people on several sites or forums who despise him and criticize his martial arts skills.

He is one of the greatest and along with Jackie Chan he has that X factor that imo Sammo and Biao are missing on their own. But I do think many of Jet Li movies are wild and fun, but they dont really showcase his skillset too much because its more wire-fu. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish that he didn't do Born to Defend. That's where he injured his back. Imagine if he had done something else like playing Andy Lau's role in Magic Crystal. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather say that they criticize (or dislike) his movies. I think nobody would dispute his martial arts skills. Aside from Bruce Lee (legend) I think Jet is on top concerning martial arts skills. Combined with wire fu and the right music I could watch him everyday. 1 hour ago, JCLegend86 said: I agree with hin being number 2 after Jackie (and Bruce Lee perhaps).

I dont put him in any list But to be honest his main movies are not boring but somehow long-winded. One has to be patient to see those legendary scenes. And this is a barrier for rewatching the whole movie. Nevertheless much more entertaining than its contemporaries. I am also very excited about those Yeoh movies. Will be first time watches for me. I saw some scenes and figured out that i missed a lot during my earlier years as a fan. Maybe i was blinded by my Jackielove. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
