Guest BKarza Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I couldn't stand it. If something doesn't do it for me, I usually leave it at that and don't go into rip mode. I think the main problem with it, was that it was done in "comic book" mode. Meaning, everything and I mean everything happened so convieniently. That got annoying quick and never let up.

Guest GwaiLoMoFo Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Just watched this one and thought it was alot of fun. There was plenty of great action sequences. Quite a few group battles that were very well done with a great cast. I agree that the story is all over the place. I believe it was another story adapted from a Ku Lung novel. It felt like they tried to fit a long complicated novel with 100 different twists into a 90 min film. Way too much going on, coulda made 3 films outta the content they crammed into this one. And the way all the various characters were connected gota little ridiculous by the end of the film. It did have some great colorful characters and villians though. From the blind assassin to the white haired villian with the poison palm and blood sucking sword. Dont try to follow the plot too closely, just sit back and enjoy the great action and characters.

Guest Tosh Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I really liked this movie, sometimes when I get lost in these (usually clan) films I just sit back and let it work itself out by the end, I've learned to do this in some of the Samurai films that have a hundred characters coming and going.

Member The Dragon Posted January 16, 2008 Member Share Posted January 16, 2008 The whole Trans-sexual subplot was really something for that era... Just watched it again for a second time and understand the plot a bit better... Yueh Hua was something else; literally killing at any cost to accomplish his objective. Nora Miao...

I think you might be mistaken here. Yueh Hua is in Killer Clans, and not Clan Feuds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the mix up. Clan of Intrigue was the film I'm speaking on, and I've mixed up my Clan flicks... Sorry, wrong thread. My Bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member oldeschool17 Posted January 26, 2008 Member Share Posted January 26, 2008 Just watched this and if I had to sum this movie up in one word it would be: clusterfuck So much shit was going on but i agree there were some colorful characters to say the least. I dunno bout you but id be damn if i pinch hit on getting quartered. That guy must have had a shitty life to agree to go thru that. Lo Meng plays the "im an oblivious, headstrong, pussywhipped" character to a T. Nice to see him use a weapon for a change. I really liked Ko Fei's character. its too bad we didnt see more of him. The guy with the poision hand and blood sucking sword reminded me of chan wai man's character in deadly breaking sword from a distance. Lastly, of course, is the 6 degrees of separation between ti lung, sun chien, and that one chick. This movie had too many ideas in one movie syndrome. At least there was plenty of action thru out the movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've time to spare, that might help you make heads or tails of what's going on. Ko Fei's character was kick ass. I like how he was talking to his dying partner, "I can't see your beautiful face, but I can touch it with my bloody hand", and killing bad guys at the same time. I would have fleshed out the review more, but I was exhausted after having to decipher the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the chance read the novel first ! I understand it appears complex but after you have seen or read a lot of the clan stories It becomes very basic & you can basically pre guess everything since it is all very typical. The saddest thing is how they shortened the ending !! Otherwise it is a CLASSIC SHAW CLAN MOVIE !!! Xiexie Athena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted June 11, 2010 Member Share Posted June 11, 2010 I enjoyed it, but it moved way too fast for me. And I like my movies fast paced. I guess I should learn Chinese and read the book. I'll tell you what I think in about 10 years from now Athena:tongue:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
