Late night at SRK, version 0, champion edition!

Why when u try to be nice to a fat girl it back fires.

NEVER AGAIN :tdown:

WAAAAZZZAAAAPPPPP???

drunkd as hell and don’t get paid for two weeks, but do you think that’s hurting the people’s 'hammer? Not in the least. bumping the thread late after smooth’s efforts, but what can I say? I’m the designated driver of this one and I’d hate to disappoint.

-Starhammer-

Nothing like being drunk alone posting on srk :sad: .

Starhammer drinking and driving is the shit let go of the wheel son LOL!

I’m wanna make a shot called the “Starhammer”.

Hell yeah.

That shit would knock you on your ass.

lol anyone know of a good comedy to watch? trying to think of something to laugh me silly but cant think of nothin. ;-;

LOL. Nah, that’d be my original nick the Stormhammer. The Starhammer would never let you hit the ground again until you wer sober. That’s the way of one who gave his soul to the stars for power. The way of the Starhammer, the force of the Gods.

-Starhammer-

shaolin soccer
Kung-Pow (with alcohol or… something else)

Damn… I’m out of touch with comedies nowadays.

EDIT: That’s it! The starhammer must come into creation. I’m thinking grey goose, and something strong.

You can jump on the GFB hub and leech that bugs bunny episode – the one in my av – from me.

“Classic Cartoon - Bugs Bunny - Bully for Bugs [1953].mpg”

Never fails to make me laugh.

whenever i am drunk i watch old japan movies. Laugh my ass off when they talk and the words take like 5 minuts to come up :pray: :pray:

Iron Monkey > All.

Best non-anime action/martial arts film EVER.

Who Am I had the best non-wire/special effect fight scenes in kung fu movie, hands down.

Spiffy/humorous stunts can be rather ammusing/entertaining.

So Jackie Chan ranks over everyone else because he doesn’t use wires or special effects? I really have to disagree.

In the “bad ass” department, Jackie Chan hasn’t put out much since his first few films. “Who Am I” isn’t even his best film, IMO. However, he do has a few bad ass films from earlier in his career.

Most of the time when I watch a Jackie Chan film, I just laugh at a few things, and think “wow, that must have taken FOR EVER to get that stunt on film”.

When I watch other martial arts/action films, I think “OH MY FUCKING GOD, WHAT THE FUCK, THAT WAS BAD ASS, SHOW ME MORE”. And I end up laughing even harder because I’m so entertained/excited, as apposed to the “mild” Jackie Chan films.

When I watch a martial film, I expect to see some one get their ass owned so damn hard it’s unbelievable, and I expect a final showdown between the ass kicker and some one equally as powerful/bad-ass. I also expect to see shit I never seen before, or shit I never thought of, mixed in with your basic/average ass beatings, tricks and wild/crazy stunts don’t really fill that void.

Americans rarely ever see any good martial arts films because all they do see is the westernized/cross-over Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Chow Yun Fat films.

And CTHD was NOT all that special – in fact, I daresay I found it boring, minus one or two of the fight scenes which I rate as ‘average’.

Mind you, a lot of eastern martial arts films are rather cheesy/corney due to the lack of special effects, but that’s often what makes them so damn entertaining, then add the superior display of martial arts.

The fight scene on the rooftop is easily one of Jackie’s best fight scenes, if not the best. The story wasn’t that good, but that isn’t what the film makers care about when it comes to HK action flicks. Even Jackie himself admits that when he makes a movie for the HK audience, the story is not the primary concern, the action is. The fight was not best because of not using wires, it was because it was really well choreographed. Another fight scene I really liked was the final fight in Jackie Chan’s Gorgeous. That kick that his opponent did had me like WOW. I’m more impressed when I see the fighters doing the moves without any assistance, it gives me that WOW factor that wires don’t.

I also didn’t like CTHD too much. I think that Hero did a much better job using special effects and was a better movie all around. I own both of them, so I guess CTHD was at least good enough for me to buy it.

HK action flicks seem to go overboard with the special effects or just go with none at all. It just takes away a lot from the movie for me if the special effects are too overboard.

Oh, and I finally did it tonight, I asked that girl at Blockbuster for her number. She’s married. At least I have no regrets because I didn’t pussy out about it… but damn Hawaii women and how they marry so early and shit!!! :lol:

Jet Li’s “Fist of Legend” owns most other martial arts movies easily. But that’s just the opinion of a Jet Li fanboy.

Oh and sorry to hear about the Blockbuster incident. Yeah Hawaii girls are way too eager for that shit. Or maybe she already has a kid, and needed to get married. Eh, all I can say is…“Next in line please!” Get’em Ducky.

Oh, and I’ll be contacting you about the details for Tuesday.

Meh, the fight on the rooftop was interesting, but I really didn’t feel like the participants were godly. Like you said yourself, it was very well choreographed. Alas, it seemed more like a dance to me, than a real ass kicking – much like most of Chan’s work.

IMO, there’s a huge difference between a dance and a brawl.

Some of Chan’s earlier work also reflects how dance-like his style is. I keep picturing him in that kimono plus kimono trousers with that gigantic fan.

And in a lot of his earlier work, you see him co-staring with those other two guys (whose names elude me at the moment), and pretty much acted like the three stooges of martial arts. They constantly grapple and break out of holds/grabs, never really landing any hard hits. Again, another dance.

If I were to put it in Street Fighter terms:

I find combo videos a lot less entertaining to watch than match videos. This is because combo videos rely heavily on circumstances, such as; super meter, positioning relative to the corner, opponent standing/crouching/jumping, opponent attacking/not attacking, dizzy guage/guard guage, etc. – In addition, most combo videos display rather wacky or little used combos for the sake of show. Not only that, but some combos only work on certain characters. And finally, the players who create the combo videos often have to record a certain combo several times or more before they get it recorded properly.

Match videos are live, and are against human opponents who do their best to either be uncontrollable or to take controll for themselves. The players are not only displaying tatics, skill, reaction, execution, and timing, they also display the ability to overcome/defeat their opponents skill.

That said, I “feel” like I’m watching a combo video when I watch a Jackie Chan film. It feels completely fabricated, and it feels almost dance-like (choreographed).

Other martial films “feel” more like match vids. Even though they are both obviously fabricated, most other martial films seem to emulate the fantasy better.

CTHD is a really horrible example, but during the corse of watching, I sort of get lost in the film and I’m able to imagine the characters as being real. This allows me to enjoy the film on a greater level. Where as with most of Chan’s work, I feel like I’m watching some kid with max super meter in training mode vs. a dummy (so to speak).

Iron Monkey ranks rather high on my list because it emulates the “realism” rather well. Even though most of the film’s concepts are totally absurd, and the special effects are done rather poorly during certain points; it’s still rather easy to get lost in the action and start to believe these characters are really just that damn good. And I’m not talking about the story or dialogue, I’m talking about the meat of the film, the fucking fights. The fights, after all, MAKE the film. Plus it’s one of the most impressive displays of ownage/kick-assery I’ve ever laid eyes on, plus I like the story a lot.

To sum it up: Chan performs dances, and appears to fight with a ‘1 in a million’ type luck. Others appear to brawl, and fight with inhuman skill, which I find more impressive, even though both are fabricated.

PS. Good job working up the guts to ask, at least. Sorry it didn’t work out, though. Better luck next time. :slight_smile:

AngelSabre: Jet Li fanboy ey? You should seriously try to get ahold of a movie called “Lord of the Wu-Tang”. The Wu-Tang clan hasn’t put it out for some reason, and I can’t find it in any stores. But if you can get it, you will be very pleased.

Good kung-fu comedy in the form of serious fighting is hard to find. To that end, let me offer my 3 favorites:

Venus the Ninja
Flying Guilotine
Dragon On Fire

Once you’ve checked those out, you can’t help but laugh. My favorite line from Dragon On Fire: “two hats. One for summer, one for rain.” Shit had me falling off my chair laughing.

-Starhammer-

I have to agree with the non-anime/martial arts part (maybe not the action part), but its really good. Whenever I see its still just as good…

I feel wrong inside. I still haven’t seen Iron Monkey yet.
