Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted May 15, 2009 Administrator Share Posted May 15, 2009 What Price Honesty - Hell yeah!!! Okay, okay. I've heard so much about this one, so tonight's the night to check it out. Iron fingers of death. I really enjoyed this, but when I first got it on VHS, the title made me think I was going to see a really serious, bad ass movie. I was expecting something more like KING BOXER. So I was surprised, but pleasantly so. It's equal parts fantastic kung fu, and OTT kooky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member MarsHarmony Posted May 15, 2009 Member Share Posted May 15, 2009 I finally got my copies, (after months of waiting for special orders) of "Seven Man Army" and "Friends". My expectations were moderate, but I loved both of them very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member The Silver Fox Posted May 17, 2009 Member Share Posted May 17, 2009 The Flying Guillotine 1 & 2. I thought both were great. They each have their good qualities, the first being a little more character driven,the pacing is a slower-a finely put together film.The second has really manic editing ,tons of action,cool special effects,lots of be-headings and blood. Not that the first film doesn't have these things-it's just the second one is seriously crazy(in a good way). Tsui Hark had to be influenced by part 2. The movie is really ahead of it's time as far as how it is put together-especially with the editing as I mentioned earlier. I've also recently watched Tales of a Eunuch-very weird film overall.

Member ZoSo Posted May 17, 2009 Member Share Posted May 17, 2009 Last two Shaws I watched were Martial Club and Buddha's Palm, and I absolutely loved both of them. Martial Club had a wonderful ending, and Buddha's Palm was wacky all the way through. I loved Lo Lieh as BI GU OF EAST ISLAND!!!! *fanfare* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about that ol' Flying Guillotine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which movie of Tsui Hark was influnced by Part 2 ? I have learnt that nearly everyone one of Tsui Hark movies was influenced or copied from other movies.

Member Omni Dragon Posted May 22, 2009 Member Share Posted May 22, 2009 Return of the One-armed Swordsman. it seemed very Japanese style but it was Shaw Bros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Silver Fox Posted May 22, 2009 Member Share Posted May 22, 2009 I meant that possibly his overall style was influenced by the the way Flying Guillotine 2 was put together. Tsui Hark's movie's have that manic,fast paced style. Flying Guillotine 2 came out in 1977 so it's conceivable that he checked it out. I think Hark's first film was The Butterfly Murders(1979)-great movie IMO, and his style was pretty much formed at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Silver Fox Posted May 24, 2009 Member Share Posted May 24, 2009 Recently watched 'The Proud Youth'. I really liked the movie-I am suprised many refer to it as somewhat of a lesser Sun Chung effort. I thought it was really strong overall. 'Monkey Kung Fu' is another one that I'd actually not heard much about but it kicked serious butt all the way through. Plot is skeletal but with fighting that ridiculously good who really cares.

Member shaolindogpaw Posted June 7, 2009 Member Share Posted June 7, 2009 Well, It's going to seem odd but mine is Battle Wizards. It's the best recent Shaw film I've seen because I was able to watch it with a group of friends. We all had such an awesome time laughing at the insane special effects and story.

Member xianzai Posted June 7, 2009 Member Share Posted June 7, 2009 I rewatched 5 Venoms recently. I like how this and Life Gamble have less of what I don't like in a lot of Chang Cheh's films and some of what I like in Chu Yuan's. It's a good middle ground.

Member AbeRudder Posted June 7, 2009 Member Share Posted June 7, 2009 Watched the 5 Venoms (3rd viewing) and Tales of a Eunuch today. Tales of a Eunuch was pretty poor i thought, the fights were well choreographed but they were poorly edited and were way too short. None of the characters were likeable at all and the plot raced through way too quickly. 5 Venoms was awesome of course, i still prefer Crippled avengers by a hair though.
