Also, just about every fight scene was cut, including two of the best - some of the fire sequence and some of Wong Kei-ying vs. The Iron Monkey the first time. And I don't know how "involved" Yuen...

Still, no DVD experience can match seeing one of these films on the big screen the way it was meant to be seen - with a responsive audience enjoying it with you.

That might be your problem right there - seeing it dubbed. I clicked over to the dubbed version a few times and it made the film hard to comprehend and, as always with a dub, mega-cheesy. I do...

I'm not going to defend Zhang Ziyi's possible personality because I don't know her, and have no basis for defense, and furthurmore would have no reason to defend her anyway. But I can't say she has...

She wasn't talking about the Hong Kong people, she was talking about the Hong Kong tabloid press - they were making up stories about a love triangle between her, Jackie Chan and Jackie's son, and...

Re: The Musketeer

I wouldn't bank on that - notice that all the actors, especially the lead, wear hats that are very low and cover almost all of their faces - the lead's hat covers much of his face even in dialogue...

I've only seen the Paul Fornoff review - he gave it two and a half stars but then again he always seems to dislike Hong Kong films, and he said in his review that in many ways Fulltime Killer is "the...

I'm not sure if I'd call this "the next Jet Li" movie or the next Zhang Yimou movie... Zhang Yimou is one of the greatest directors working today - classics like Ju Dou are just so powerful... Jet...

Yi Yi is a wonderful drama. I'd go ahead and get the U.S. version over the Hong Kong one - yes, the transfer is not great, but I doubt the Hong Kong one will be any better, and the Hong Kong version...
