-The New Martial Arts Movie Thread-

Fucking playing marvel got me tired, either that or working out lol.

Just Martial Arts movies and tv shows? Shiiiiit, lets get some of that wuxia novel action up in here

Anything by Jin Yong should be good stuff and many of his books have been translated to english:china:, been trying to find some stuff of his on the cheap over here in China, problem is it’s all in Chinese

Has the girl from Chocolate done anything other than Raging Phoenix that you all are aware of? been trying to follow her

I’ve been able to finda lot of movies on youku, but english trans are rare, need to watch that Shaolin Jet Li debut flick

Ricado I fucking lied dude. I put in the DVD last night and there was ENGLISH SUBS.

The default audio is in Thai with no subs, but you can change it in the MENU. (How the fuck is Vietnamese not the default language when it’s a Vietnamese movie?)

I’m a fucking idiot. :rofl:

If you still want the DVD 5 version then yea PM me.

BEWD I pretty much went on a rant about how awesome Jin Yong was back on page 2 and 3.

Glad there someone else that shares this opinion.

Fuck Marvel 3 I’m still waiting for a VS fighting game where I can blow shit up with Guo Jing, and Yang Guo.

Now there some broken ass shit. Sentinel ain’t fucking with them. :china::china:

i agree with this post

I already have 50+ characters in mind.

I just need money to fund the game now… and a gaming company that won’t fuck it up… and a fucking miracle.

I’m sure the game would do well in Asia, but in America? It’s going to be like Marvel of the east. No American is going to play it. They be like “who the fuck are these guys?”

… or if we’re lucky, they’ll be saying, “I want to use the guy with one arm, an eagle and the fucking huge ass sword.”

Yijingjing would be a health recovery super, and only the final boss would have the complete movesets from the Jiu Ying Zhen Jing.

Fuck that, last boss would be Dugu Qiubai.

Ok i dont know what language you guys are talking so please add eng subs to your post…thanks

Jiuyin Zhenjing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dugu Qiubai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I’ll buy it!

Maybe the U.S. won’t be so fray by the time this actually happens.

Jin Yong has said on record that Sweeper Monk is the strongest of all the fighters and Dugu Qiubai is 2nd.

Plus if you think about it Sweeper Monk only person to really unitize both 9 yin and 9 yang manual. Nigga was so godlike Shaolin kicked him out. They said fuck this nigga he make us look like complete scrubs. Shaolin grandmasters couldn’t last 10 seconds against this mother fucker. They said fuck it this is too embarrassing how the fuck are we the grandmasters getting owned? I know lets act like this dude never existed. No one will know we can claim to be the best again. WOOT!

Jin Yong said the tier was

(I’m using their translated nicknames since I don’t want to figure out how to spell their Chinese names)

God Tier - Sweeper Monk, Dugu Qiubai
Gods in their era tier - Guo Jing, Yang Guo, Xiao Feng, Xuzhu, Duan Yu, Central Divinity, Li Quisui, Tiansang Tonglao
Great, but never god tier - Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Wuji, Western Venom, Eastern Heretic, Northern Begger, Southern Monk/Emperor, Central Imp, Great Wheel Monk

Next tier : A lot of people too lazy to name them all (It would probably take me a week trying to remember everyone). Basically everyone that was deadly, plus all the women.

Main character, but shit tier - Linghu Chong

I don’t know where yellow robe girl ranks though I don’t think he listed her. Which really had me pondering, because in HSDS she kicked the shit out of Zhou Zhiruo. She also showed some signs of the 9 yin manual (Jiuyin Zhenjing) too bad she never went up against Zhang Wuji. I got money on her though just becuase of her dad, mom, great uncle and aunt.

This cat was gonna get me Iron Monkey but his ass got confused about which one. Still waiting on the other dude to cop that for me though.

what the fuck dude, i want dat iron monkey…Want to see some bad ass mad monkey fu!

Can we talk about HK epics in here as well?

I just saw A Hero Never Dies and that movie was f’ing awesome.

Also a fun movie to watch on Netflix is The Good, the Bad, the Weird. Lee Byung-hun is my idol <3

:coffee:

Not to question the tier list but you gotta figure Ouyang Feng (“The poison frog” or “Western Venom”) is at least better than Guo Jing and Ouyang’s foster son, Yang Guo until Yang Guo gets his arm chopped arm and gains the eagle. IMO he’s the best of the 5 Legendary greats. This nigga beat Guo Jing, kidnapped him and forced him to tell him the secret to Nine Suns Kungfu (AKA the Nine Yin Manual). Guo Jing told him the manual backwards and mixed it up… But Ouyang Feng made it work ANYDAMWAY because he was such a kungfu genius (Guo Jing would admit to such later in the manga and i think in Legend of Condor Heroes too). Ouyang Feng then kidnapped Guo Jing’s wife and made her translate the manual but she told it to him all wrong… and he made THAT work too.

Only dude on Poison Feng’s level of the Great 5 was the old leader of the Beggar Clan and the only reason it was a draw with them was because Feng didn’t use poison. And even then, Poison Feng still conquered The Begger Clan’s ultimate stick technique.

This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

Without poison, Yang Guo would be the best (besides the Legendary Dugu of course.)

yeah, even though he became insane, west venom became the strongest at end of LOCH. he was going to beat north beggar until huang rong stepped in and fucked with his head. and the final test between guo jing and east heretic and north begger was basically a draw, there was no clear winner.

this post made me lol

Hey this is like the rap thread, but for asians. I can dig it.

The list is base off the peak or primes of their careers.

Don’t forget how the Posion Feng died. He died while fighting with the Northern Begger.

After LOCH Guo Jing pretty much went into god mode and held down the fort for China. He pretty much stop the Mongols from invading China all by himself. He also had the respect of Genghis mother fucking Khan. Genghis Khan don’t show anyone mercy, but this was the one nigga he said fuck it. I’m not risking my kids dieing to him. I will just invade all of China and leave this one city alone until he dies then we take it over.

What happen years later? On the fucking day he dies Mongolia takes complete control of China.

Don’t forget if it wasn’t for him and Yang Guo we wouldn’t even have HSDS. The two swords basically set up the story for HSDS.

Also Ouyang Feng was not the best or even close in the original 5 greats. First the Central Divinity (Wang Chongyang) won the battle at Mount Hua over the 4 others to obtain the 9 yin.

Second the weakness in his poison was the yin yang finger. That’s why the Central Divinity (Wang Chongyang) went to the Southern Monk (he was still the emperor at the time) at traded martial arts. He knew that if you combine his shit with ying yang finger that the Western Venom was fucked, and right before he died he made sure Western venom couldn’t do shit for a few years.

I’ll give him the fact that he didn’t give a fuck about anyone made him a bad ass, but dude was never achieve the status of #1 in his era.

Is this like somekind of kung fu book your talking about or an actual movie?

wuxia novel that’s been made into several tv series, even a gay anime, and a gay manga. don’t bother with the anime or manga because japan sucks.

All of the above.

There an author that wrote 15 books and the books have became so famous they turned it into movies, anime, video games, tv sereies, etc… There are even college courses discussing issues the novels bring up.

Think Lord of the Rings. It started out as a book and turned into a movie and video games.

Or Final Fantasy.

If you combined movies, tv shows, games, and anime there probably over 150 adaptions of his novels.

Evey one interpret them a little different.

For example a movie you might be familiar is with is The Legend of the Swordsman (Jet Li).

Jet Li plays a character from one of the novels, of course they don’t follow exactly what happens in the novels becuase that would take hundreds of hour, but you see where I am getting at.

Basically it’s like the Marvel universe of Asia. We have our spidermans, batmans, x-mens, and we also have our green goblins, joker etc… There thousands of characters, shitload of clans and sects and you get the point.
