Member Dragon Ma Posted March 14, 2008 Member Share Posted March 14, 2008 With the upcoming release of Chocolate, I thought I'd resurrect this thread (I couldn't find the old one) I came across this interview with Yukari Oshima, it's pretty interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG3cU_vTKAw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chinatown Kid Posted March 15, 2008 Member Share Posted March 15, 2008 I've always had a crush on Yukari Oshima, she's so sexy especially playing the bad girl villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Dragon Ma Posted March 19, 2008 Author Member Share Posted March 19, 2008 She totally kicks ass in Book of Heroes, I'd post a clip but I couldn't find the one I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Amazing Psycho Per Posted March 19, 2008 Member Share Posted March 19, 2008 How is Book of Heroes... I saw some clips that were amazing, but then some that look very stupid. For instance there is a scene where a young boy is paid to help out a woman to fight. He is very obviously doubled by someone much bigger then him and it looks pretty silly... How is the overall movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member D1 Ma Posted March 20, 2008 Member Share Posted March 20, 2008 I liked it a lot. It's a stupid comedy(a couple of bits is actually funny), but it's filled with great fights/ Choreo is great, fights are very fast, people go flying through windows and stuff/ I'd say, Yukari never had a better display of her skills. I don't know who the other girl is, but it's safe to say, she's one of the best screen fighters out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Dragon Ma Posted March 20, 2008 Author Member Share Posted March 20, 2008 I think you're referring to Naked Weapon, I haven't seen that. Check out this great Yukari Oshima music video. The song kicks ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member gravedigger666 Posted March 20, 2008 Member Share Posted March 20, 2008 I think you're referring to Naked Weapon, I haven't seen that. Yes,that was title:o.Movie has one interesting scene which puts wanna-be-killers into ultimate test of graduation,so I guess it`s worth picking if see at bargain bin for few$.

Member Dragon Ma Posted March 21, 2008 Author Member Share Posted March 21, 2008 As far as I know her name is Joan Chen, she's only done two films, Book of Heroes and Funny Family, which also had Yukari in a small role and funnily enough, directed by the same man, Chu Yen-Ping.
