Martial Arts Movie Madness Marathon!

Also, an awesome, ass-kicking, alliterative assault on the forum. (and yes, I know reiteration of a vowel is repetition, not alliteration )

Anywho, I rented Kung Fu Hustle; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; and Fearless. Stuff I've been meaning to watch for some time. My thoughts are as follows:

Kung Fu Hustle: Goddamn, this has to be the craziest action movie I've ever seen, this is definitely going into my collection.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sweet zombie Jesus on a pogo stick, this movie is fucking amazing.

Fearless: Well, I haven't watched this yet, I'll get back to you on this one.

EEEEhhhh, I didn't like Kung FU Hustle that much. Shaolin Soccer is a better Stephen Chow movie.
I saw CT,HD once years ago, I don't remember much of it. I'll probably give it another look see sometime this usmmer.
Fearless, never seen.

I'd probably enjoy Kung Fu Hustle, and I really want to see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

My favorite martial arts film is, without a doubt, Story of Ricky. Oh, yes.

[foamcup]

I will add that one to my list for future viewing. Go see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon without delay!

[DizzyDi]

I have a few favorites: The Transporter, Kiss of the Dragon, Legend of the Drunken Master, and Project A

[UnderscoreX]

Ong Bak, Lone Wolf and Cub, Shaolin Temple are all awesome and if you like watching D grade movies with all their amazing special effects NINJA PROJECT DAREDEVILS (turbo edition).

[DizzyDi]

O ya I forgot all about Ong Bak, great movie too, and the stunt men are crazy good.

Fearless is pretty good.

Jet Li beats up a challenger while holding an umbrella upright the whole time; cockiest thing you're going to see out of him outside of those wire acts in the other movies he made. Kind of a inconclusive way to end his martial arts movie career although he ties in the reason to the person the movie is about and similarities in the age #.

Shaolin Soccer, much funnier movie sure. Kung Fu Hustle was more action and special effects.

[Solstis]

That was an example of alliteration, actually.

Legend of the Flying Guillotine is pretty nifty, in an old fashioned kind of way. Hero was okay, I actually like it a little better than Crouching, but maybe only because Jet Li is in it. Jet Li's series of "The Legend" movies are good, but don't watch the dubbed versions.

Equilibrium was actually kinda stupid, in hindsight.
