Member daisho2004 Posted May 15, 2010 Member Share Posted May 15, 2010 OK I got to finally watch this movie last night and I thought it was Excellent! Donnie Yen was in top form and he was Dieseled, you can see he had bulked up for this movie. The only thing is I could've done with a little less CGI Wire-fu. But the casting was excellent.

Member kami Posted August 2, 2014 Member Share Posted August 2, 2014 I already own the German blu-ray of the movie but would still consider buying the new release since the video quality of the German release, which used the same master as the HK-disc, was rather bad with its obvious edge enhancement and filtering.

Member Lionclaw Posted August 6, 2014 Member Share Posted August 6, 2014 http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=14654 I was beginning to think after Donnie Yen starting churning out film after film a few of em would get skipped in the U.S. I wasn't too interested in watching this film back when it first came out, but after seeing the US trailer and some clips this looks pretty good. This film comes out on bluray on September 2. Hopefully The Lost Bladesman will follow shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted August 6, 2014 Member Share Posted August 6, 2014 If you like 90s wu xia films such as Dragon Inn and Butterfly & Sword, you might enjoy the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted August 8, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 8, 2014 Do you think they waited long enough to release this in the US? I know right? Better late than never..... Ha ha, you guys basically said what everyone else was thinking, a theatrical release 4 years after the movie came out is a pretty strange gamble to take, I'd love to know the thinking behind it. It's not even riding on the coat tails of an internationally successful Yen movie like 'Ip Man', and to be honest I thought this already had a US release, it's one of my favorites from Yen's post-2010 output. Still, to echo Lionclaw's statement, better late than never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted August 30, 2014 Member Share Posted August 30, 2014 Looks like we're still gonna stick to the HK BD after all. http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/14-Blades-Blu-ray/106738/#Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted August 31, 2014 Member Share Posted August 31, 2014 http://www.kungfucinema.com/reviews/review-14-blades-u-s-blu-ray Yeah it is barebones give or take some previews...but the video quality looks nice and is only in Mandarin with optional English and Spanish subtitles.

Member Koravec Posted May 25, 2020 Member Share Posted May 25, 2020 I think a lot of people got this movie and Dragon (even more confusingly titled Wuxia) mixed up with their both yellow movie poster-art, I did. Not too much to say about this movie. Cool character design, maybe too much so, like when Jackie Chan had on the Jack Sparrow look as a goof in Chinese Zodiac. One takeaway was the really picturesque indoor fight scenes displaying a foray of green hue to the atmosphere of the teahouse (I think it might of been). But just like the near over-design of the characters, these scenes also feel a bit too extraordinary in context. I suppose a problem is that despite the somewhat extravegant looking protagonist and antagonist and couple jade-coloured teahouse fight scenes, the rest of the film doesnt match. Instead playing out unremarkably and much more typical in emotion, setting, and plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
