Member Wolcott Posted November 13, 2009 Member Share Posted November 13, 2009 Just for that we put the Bloody Parrot curse on ye! Jade Dragon (Markgway) I'm amazed at you! Seriously, I'm a bit surprised you don't appreciate Bloody Parrot. Linn turned me on to this flick, he had very good things to say about this film, and upon viewing it I instantly fell in love with it. It delivers in every department. The fight choreographs are crisply and superbly worked out. I can watch this film over and over again. I love, love, love this film. I love it too! There! I said it!

Member vengeanceofhumanlanterns Posted November 13, 2009 Member Share Posted November 13, 2009 Don't worry. The men in the white jackets will be here to collect you soon. waa haa haa haa haaa!!!! (villianous laugh) I've craftily eluded them thus far... they will never get ME. There are a great many awesome fight scenes in this flick. When Pai Piao is first attacked in the woods. The bar fight, whwere he's drinking to his friends corpse lying next to him in his coffin, on a table in the bar. That fight scene is excellent. The demonic painting on Bloody Slave's wall. The fight scene with Long Sword. The fight scene before that with the pretty boy who used to be Bloody Slaves top customer (boy friend). The fight scene between Chan Shen and Bloody Slaves mother, where Chan uses his saw blade type weapon, has amazingly tight and fast (not sped up/anywhere in the movie/huge plus) choreographing. The ending with the cobra's, frogs, lizards, etc. Just wonderful atmosphere for old school horror fans. Not to mention the insanely well done possession scene by Bloody Slave. That scene is great.

Member Wolcott Posted November 13, 2009 Member Share Posted November 13, 2009 I think that's DEMON OF THE LUTE (1983). I didn't watch the entire movie, though at least not yet. DESCENDANT OF THE SUN I liked for the insanity factor. I LOVE Demon of the Lute. Seriously. That movie is ridiculous. Ridiculously awesome!

Member Drunken Monk Posted November 13, 2009 Member Share Posted November 13, 2009 I recently bought my first batch of IVL's which included "Bloody Parrot" and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Okay, so it is absolutely insane and it does get a little too drawn out towards the end but, otherwise, I found it to be a great little flick. I really didn't enjoy "Marco Polo." I think I fell asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tosh Posted November 14, 2009 Member Share Posted November 14, 2009 I LOVE Demon of the Lute. Seriously. That movie is ridiculous. Ridiculously awesome! Yeah I loved this movie to, Lee Hoi San fighting with those ridiculously huge weapons, it was so over the top. I pretty much liked all the movie mentioned I've seen:xd: Bloody Parrot looks like my kind of movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted November 14, 2009 Administrator Share Posted November 14, 2009 Interesting- I've heard the highest praise and the harshest criticism regarding BLOODY PARROT. I own it, but haven't watched it yet. But boy am I curious now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Must be one of those films that polarizes fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted November 14, 2009 Administrator Share Posted November 14, 2009 Must be one of those films that polarizes fans. Curious what your personal take is on BLOODY PARROT Markgway? Have you seen it? You're a no-nonsense kind of guy when it comes to opinions on movies, so I'd love to hear our opinion on it.

Member odioustrident Posted November 15, 2009 Member Share Posted November 15, 2009 Bloody Parrot is a late horror wuxia with a couple of solid action scenes. It must get points for that alone...but I haven't seen it in a while. I feel pretty strongly about Full Moon Scimitar and Descendant of the Sun being two of the worst I have seen.

Member lillippa328 Posted November 18, 2009 Member Share Posted November 18, 2009 I thought Challenge of the Masters was my least favourite, but as far as quality is concerned, Ten Tigers Of Kwantung was pretty wretched - good fun though wait...u think CotM and 10Tigers are 2 of Shaws worse?

Member HAZ Posted November 21, 2009 Member Share Posted November 21, 2009 I've been trying to watch Killer Constable & its a bit dull. I like my Shaw's with a fair dose of crazy and this is kind of plain. Chen Kwan Tai is a bit wooden in this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Killer Constable is one of THE best Shaw films. Cannot believe it's been mentioned here among the shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted November 21, 2009 Member Share Posted November 21, 2009 Not really dull, but the comedy was torture, even if you like Meng Yuen Man. The fights were decent. aside from the slapsticky ones! I could only get through it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, THE LIZARD was torture- just so boring. If only it had been a feature length film about "The Lizard" from THE FIVE VENOMS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tosh Posted November 22, 2009 Member Share Posted November 22, 2009 I didn't care much for The Wandering Swordsman, I've mentioned before David Chiang reminded me of peter pan the way he was flying in and out of the scenes, being minus a 3rd of the iron triangle didn't help either:tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Blood Sword Posted January 26, 2010 Member Share Posted January 26, 2010 Yeah, this was one I couldn't finish watching. Truly awful movie. Shaw's seemed totally lost when it came to copying the indy style of movie save for one or two instances. Did you ever finish this?1st hour is terrible I gave up on it about 2 years ago.And quite recently managed to finish movie,there is some OK fights in the end. I have seen worse Shaws...unfortunately:nerd: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Killer Meteor Posted January 26, 2010 Member Share Posted January 26, 2010 I agree, THE LIZARD was torture- just so boring. If only it had been a feature length film about "The Lizard" from THE FIVE VENOMS! The Lizard is one of my faves. I'm finding Shadow Boxer pretty rough going. A lot of the Shaws lack the wild rush effect a lot of the Golden Harvests and indies have. This one feels mired in grime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
