Member shaolindogpaw Posted September 18, 2008 Member Share Posted September 18, 2008 Why can't i watch this movie? I've tried 7 times now. I really want to watch it but i fall asleep 30 minutes in most of the time. The rest of the time I get so bored with it that i watch something else. Tonight, i will prop my eyelids open with toothpicks and chain myself to a chair. Anyone else have movies like this in their lives? This is the worst one for me for some odd reason. I can sit through every Toxic Avenger movie, every Godfrey Ho movie, no problem. But I just can't watch Marco Polo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member oldeschool17 Posted September 18, 2008 Member Share Posted September 18, 2008 I enjoyed this movie. This is gonna quickly turn into one of those "What movies do you hate/love" threads that we've never seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Endsang Posted September 18, 2008 Member Share Posted September 18, 2008 Marco Polo is awesome. Work your way through it. The training scenes are quite good, and there's no chance in hell you can fall asleep when Tong Yim Chaan tears the whole place apart at the end.

Member Bravery Posted September 18, 2008 Member Share Posted September 18, 2008 Master of the Flying Guiollotine is a movie that I can't sit through more than 20 minutes without either falling asleep or just deciding to watch another movie. I can under stand why you can't sit through Marco, it does drag on in places. But, I do like Marco Polo, when I started collecting shaws about 10 years ago, it was one of the first movies I traded for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member venoms5 Posted September 18, 2008 Member Share Posted September 18, 2008 Star Richard Harrison had nothing but good things to say about working with Chang Cheh although he had a far better experience on BOXER REBELLION than MP as he said his part mostly required him to stand around and observe. Humorously, CC refers to Harrison as British in his memoirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member shaolindogpaw Posted September 19, 2008 Author Member Share Posted September 19, 2008 I'm glad you guys gave your opinions about the movie. I was finally able to watch all of it last night. After the first 30minutes of the movie it actually gets pretty good. The training scenes were great and the ending was exciting. My only problem was at the end when the two guys get taken out by arrows. Both of them were shot in the belt area because they couldn't figure out how to glue some arrows on their bodys? It just looked silly. An arrow was shot through Mifune's neck in Throne of Blood and it looked real. Besides that, it was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the belt area was Chi Kuan Chun's only weak spot after practicing the "Bell Cover Kung Fu", so that's the only place the arrows would penetrate his skin, if that makes sense. Don't remember the other one, it was Tong Yim Chaan right? No explaination there I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted September 21, 2008 Member Share Posted September 21, 2008 This flick is a classic, although I would've loved to see more dialogue from Harrison's character. I thought the scene where the Mongolian boxers were showing their stuff was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member shaolin drunkard Posted April 3, 2009 Member Share Posted April 3, 2009 I thought the scene where the Mongolian boxers were showing their stuff was pretty cool.That is best part of movie,rest of it is also very good.One thing I did not like where one of "good guys" develop superhuman strenght and handles those stones like they are as heavy as feather.

Member shaolin drunkard Posted April 4, 2009 Member Share Posted April 4, 2009 I love this film. Kuo Chui is great in it, too. Definitely...quite small role really but even from that easy to see he has lot potential as actor and fighter.And as we know he displayed a lot of his skills few years laterXD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tosh Posted April 4, 2009 Member Share Posted April 4, 2009 I love this film. Kuo Chui is great in it, too. Yeah I love his end fight with Jonny Wang Lung Wei. Also Bruce Tong wields a mighty fine stone block of foam with some effectiveness at the endXD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member inframan Posted June 28, 2011 Member Share Posted June 28, 2011 what is the music from, it sounds like some Akira Ifukube/Toho but I can't place it. Cool movie, where else are you gonna see Carter Wong, Kuo Choi, Lau Kar Fai and Beardy all in the same flick?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job and I really appreciate it! ...a quick glance at it - does he mean Chi Kuan Chun when He mentions Kuo Choi (tall & shy)?? apologies if this has been asked!
