Guest MANOZEN Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hi , IMO Zen Kwun Do Strikes In Paris is an excellent film, and without a doubt the ultimate showcase for John Liu's kickin' style ! Well casted with the likes of Alan Hsu, Tino Wong, Roger Paschy, plus more champion stylers providing many a classic martial art exchange ! :smokin ZEN KWUN DO www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D3qTuExDbM MANOZEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I definately agree that this film featured John Liu's best fights, he's never looked better. But the story is ridiculous and the acting is pretty bad too. I think Liu's best movie overall is Incredible Kung Fu Mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MANOZEN Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hi , As far as the story/acting goes I have not an issue with that as John is greatly being Liu, in a manner of speaking . Must have been an emotive ego kickin' project for Mr Liu .... Least not forget the J.L. anthem ! As far as any rating system scores I would give Zen a 10 ! I also rate Incredible Kung Fu Mission, lots of quality fights delivered by great characters too ! MANOZEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dager in the cotton Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 John liu was at his kicking zenith when he put this classic out . so the storu and the acting were poor so what. it's the boot that counts, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 It does to me, this film is worth having for the fights alone! 8) Same case with Dragon's Blood, the fights aren't as good as Zenkwando in Paris but it's worth seeing for the fights even though the story and acting is poor.

Guest rdenn Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 with that kind of boot should the plot be an issue.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WalkOn Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Agreed! Great fights, who needs a story! ;-) I feel the 1st fight is John Liu's greatest screen moment. The scene where he fights the 3 thugs, one of them being Yuen Man Meng (star of Daggers Eight). Nice fast pace, and great variety of kicks! Also, I believe it was one of Yuen Man Meng's last appearances before his heart condition got the best of him, if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dager in the cotton Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 believe it was one of Yuen Man Meng's last appearances before his heart condition got the best of him, if I recall correctly. No, this film was made pre Tiger kids ect, he suffered his Heart attack sometime during or shortly after Lovers Blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WalkOn Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Thanks for clearing that up, dager in the cotton. I was never clear when Zen Kwun Do Strikes in Paris was made. I always read it was made in 1979, but I thought that it was actually made in the early 80's after his traditional films. Frank, I'll shoot you an email, to see what you would like. Thanks!

Guest Chan Wah Shun Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Through the black market or by trading. Speaking of black market, I'm surprised that Panmedia/Red Sun don't have a dvd for this yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
