-The New Martial Arts Movie Thread-

Has anyone seen the Crow Zero 1 and 2?

Never saw the avenging eagles. But speaking of avengers, I was trying for the longest time to remember this one chinese movie i also watched as a kid, also disturbing, that was about a bunch of dudes that had been disabled by a bad guy. One was a kung fu master who was outraged by these injustices and tried to take vengeance alone, only to get badly beat up, have his head put in a vice and turned into a retard. only yesterday did i figure out it was called Crippled Avengers, and of course its by the Shaw Brothers because they make disturbing movies, and of course it stars the venoms.

Worst part about that movie is how they celebrate victory at the end, completely ignoring the corpse of their retard friend, who of course sacrificed himself to save them.

edit: the more i think about it, maybe the reason im such a sociopath today is because i watched all these gruesome kung fu movies as a kid that involve good guys getting butchered and killed. chinese shows don’t fuck around with this shit, they’re not afraid to just brutally kill off main characters like its nothing. like in Shaw Brothers The Heroic Ones, where dude gets drawn and quartered. wtf

Haha that’e easily my fav Venom film, its called Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms a.k.a Crippled Avengers, a.ka. Mortal Combat…

Dude said he is gonna up that Iron Monkey. That Venoms poster is fucking sick.

What did you cat’s think of the flicks I posted so far?

Check this out if you haven’t already. Gonna up that newer Wing Chun movie with hottie Bai Jing. The only thing is that the subs are softcoded so you gotta download it okay peeps.

Edit: Also uping The Kid with the Golden Arms

Fools better go watch Kid With the Golden Arms, another Venom mob classic!

Indeed, and it should be up by the dawn. One of my favorites.

Just found a badass copy of The Water Margin starring Ti Lung and Chen Kuan Tai. Gonna grab that and look for [media=youtube]WbALkuuCSLU"[/media] as well.

Will probably upload The Water Margin today or tommorrow. Still can’t find subs for that new shaolin movie. Rcaido, get off your ass and help me dude. Fucking triple posting in here.

That Shaolin movie looks dope, Andy Lau repping Bison! Is that available for download?

Gonna pm you a link

Didn’t work but was able to find it from dem Pirate! Will watch tonight, no eng subs though…

My bad dude. Been slipping on upping anything thanks to that First Strike map pack. Tell me if you like it.

Got done watching it, i really cant recommend the film. No memorable fights & the action is very little…More drama then anything else…Lots of laughable poor scenes in this film, Wu Jing is wasted again…It was like watching the 90s kung fu stuff but without the cool fights…

4/10

So it’s more of a chick flick than a kung-fu film huh? Fuck that, atleast Little Big soldier and Shinjuku Incident went hard with Jackie in them.

  • I’ve been trying to find that bastard, on VCD, for a while now. Shaolin vs. Ninja for those who like the American name.
  • That was pretty good. Especially the the last fight between the cop and the villain. For anyone who’s into old-school Shaw Bros and Jet Li, Martial Arts of Shaolin is amazing. Compared to what Jet is now(…) in his American stuff, it’s quite good for his second flick. The Shaolin Temple always has a place in my heart. The random katas was just mad strange, though. I know Jet Li can fight, but to throw that training stuff in the middle of the movie there?

  • I loved Huang in SPL. Reminded me of his Brothers Trio days(Jackie Chan, Sammo Huang, and Yuen Bao), but more crazier.

  • just saw that Yen Suplex… wtf?! I had to see that twice.

  • any place online where one could acquire VCDs? Not bootlegs. I’m talking about VCDs.

Check post #40 Jack. You can watch and download. The file sizes are big but they are quality. Shit looks good on my 52 inch hd considering it’s from the 70’s.

The fuck you want to watch in VCD for?

Jet Li at his best has got to be Shaolin Temple series…

SPL - Sammo was ok but really though, his older films blows that away…Pedicab Driver, Magnificent Butcher, Pantyhose Hero, Eastern Condors, Encounters of the Spooky Kind, etc…

angelpalm - Nah it wasn’t even a chick film…I was expecting something else, i didn’t even know that this was Andy Lau flick, i thought it was Wu Jing…

Dont get me wrong, it has a good story to it but the execution & editing killed the film. Also the last part of the film was cut from the screener so not really sure what happens but you kinda already dont care at that point. Movie wasn’t subtle at all on what they were trying to convey to audience spiritually…Jackie’s role seem out of place too…

The acting was good w/ some nice cinematography to it…The bad guys were bad even the evil white foreigners haha…

does anyone know how i can get chinese AND english subs to show up at the same time? i’ve never tried but i assume its possible. would be helpful because i’m trying to learn chinese right now.
