I remember seeing Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame a while back and thought it was actually really impressive, kinda had a ‘once upon a time in china’ vibe to it. I havent seen this new one yet am still hunting links, ill share if I find anything decent.
Anyways as far as new MA movies go this is on top of my to watch list.
None to my knowledge. I was looking forward to Badges of Fury with Jet and Wu Jing but that was a let down. You probably already know that, if not, don’t bother watching it.
One thing I’ve always found odd is Japan not having any martial arts movie stars.
Great…I thought I’d have to suffer through only ONE movie where the hero gets worked by the Big Bad, played by some clumsy fucker with no skills (after decimating other skilled martial artists like a hillbilly goes through Mountain Dew) this year.
This one is set to release this month in Hong Kong, but I don’t know about the rest of the world. It’s a mix of mostly horror and some martial arts, and looks like a tribute to the classic Chinese Vampire movies.

Wow that looks really good. Mr. Vampire is a top 10 HK essential film. Is this suppose to be a continuation of it, as the lead is Chin Siu Ho. This looks creepy as fuck though with some nice visuals but Mr. Vampire had dat comedy & amazing acrobat from Chin Siu Ho which made it a classic.
RZA needs to gtfo away from MA films, that Iron Fist shit nearly killed me. Tony Jaa is honestly somebody else i couldnt give a rats ass about after watching The Raid, his gymnastics wont ever live up to Van Dammes splits.
