Saw Kungfu Jungle a few days ago and I believe this film has Donnieâs best fight scenes⊠ever, but It probably wonât be to everyoneâs liking. The only problem is there arenât enough fight scenes.
Yeah, but Ima give it a chance. Been a drought for martial art movies lately. Been looking for Kung Fu collections to watch. And been exhausting Hulu for old Samurai and Kung Fu movies (Chinese Hercules anyone?).
I have Iceman on my list, but I feel that Donnie Yen is basically over saturating the market. I was soooo hype for Sleeping Dogs (I mean Special ID), and was ultimately let down. From how they turned Ken Lo into a pathetic jobber and just from the overall tone of the movie. It just felt goofy.
Just got a hold of Die Fighting. Gonna check it out in a bit.

too much flying kicks, its almost like they wanna distract you from the slow ass kicks. the choreo looks a little far fetched for something that seems to wanna imply some donnie yen style realism. i think id get bored of that movie real quickâŠshit i was bored of the trailer by the end.
So I watched this and couldnât get past the first 20 mins. I had to turn it off. Just terrible acting, action and all around plot. It would have been better if it would have just focused on the stunt team trying to make it in Hollywood. But instead they decided to mix martial arts with Saw, Battle Royale and Manhunter. Avoid at all costs.
Inthe mean time here is some Kung Faux for you all.
A bunch of my friends worked on that production. I also almost got the director to choreograph my film two months ago but ended up goin with someone else. But iâm definitely curious how this one looks
I saw 2 version of Kungfu Jungle. Same storyline but different paced fight scenes. The undercranked (sped-up) fights in the first version looked so much better than the exact same but slower paced fight scenes in the 2nd version. The first 3 fight scenes in the film werenât that good but the remaining three fight scenes were really good. Thereâs a sword fight mid-way thatâs one of the best swordfighting Iâve ever seen. Iâll probably get hold of the fast paced version tomorrow. If anyoneâs interested I can post the last 3 fight scenes on youtube, lol⊠actually I wouldnât say the fight scenes were Donnie best but I preferred the last 3 fights to anything in Flash Point or SPL.
