Member Righteous Master Posted January 20, 2008 Member Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hey guys, ran across this info about a new film by Lau Kar Leung titled Heroes of Shaolin. I do not recall a previous post re: this film, so I thought I would post a link to the web page that I found the film info on. Sounds really sweet, but Lau Kar Leung is quoted in the article as saying, "This will be my best movie, and the best martial arts movie ever made." I love Lau and his films, but perhaps he should not make such bold predictions before this film is released. http://www.prnewsnow.com/Public_Release/Movies/102571.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree with you, it has to be said if Lau does hit top form he has a good chance of backing up his statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Righteous Master Posted January 23, 2008 Author Member Share Posted January 23, 2008 I hope he is correct and this movie is the best ever. This would be great for the genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member tai_shin_mun Posted January 23, 2008 Member Share Posted January 23, 2008 LKL certainly has talents to make good flick,if he does not go into too much slapstick and wire-fu we might have something decent. Movie in style of DM2 or Operation Scorpio would be brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Righteous Master Posted January 23, 2008 Author Member Share Posted January 23, 2008 You are right. If he stays away from over the top comedy and wires any movie he makes should be good. I hope he also has costumes and hair styles in the film that look like they are period appropiate and not present styles like the long leather trenchcoats,cowboy hats and modern haircuts used in Drunken Monkey.

Member Alex Posted January 24, 2008 Member Share Posted January 24, 2008 nothing wrong with a little wires, look at desciples of the 36th chamber for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member 5 Element Boxer Posted January 26, 2008 Member Share Posted January 26, 2008 Wire-fu can look great if done right. I have full confidence that LKL will do it right, if he needs to use it. They used wires in Drunken Monkey during the training sequences, and it looked really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
