Behold The Badassity Of Tony Jaa's ONG BAK 2!!
Merrick here...
Twitch has posted the Cannes promo reel for Tony Jaa's directorial debut, ONG BAK 2.
For those who've yet to be exposed to Jaa's bone crunching gloriousness, Jaa is a Thai action God known for performing all of his action/stunts in real time with with no wire support, no CGI enhancement, no technical whizbangery. What you see is what you get...and he can be pretty extreme.
Here's an embedded video of the promo reel, courtesy of Twitch...
To my knowledge, no distribution for this film has been set for The Sates...although it's probable it'll make the rounds at some point. It's scheduled for release later this year in Thailand.

Yes! CoC!
-
love the way the camera's moving...
-
Looks bonecrunchingly good .
Loved Ong Bak and thought Warrior King ( or whatever it was called) was pretty solid too. Although I dont get why they are hailing it as Ong Bak 2. Obviously there is no connection to the previous film other then the Jaa and the name . -
Ummm...the first one took place almost entirely in the city and in large parts in kind of an underground fighting ring. This one looks completely different. Looks good though still...
-
Looks awesome. Sign this guy up for Cap'n Merica!
-
and anyone that abuses Tony Jaa needs to be on the receiving end of a FLAMING LEG KICK.
-
The original was a hoot, so I will have to check this one out
-
Was pretty lame except for the the Tony Jaa scenes. Atleast someone was smart enough to recognize he had some directorial talent. Looks Awesome
-
Looking forward to this.
-
with his friends. It's only rival commentary wise is R. Kelly "Trapped in the Closet" commentary.
-
Looks awesome. Not exactly sure what it has in common with the first one other than all the ass kicking. Hope it has a character that's just as awesome as dirty balls was.
-
fuck everybody else who is "bad ass". Can anyone on this TB name someone who could kick this guys ass (whos last name isn't lee?)
-
Looks like a period piece, not a sequel at all. I can't wait to see this.
-
Fuck yea! This is what I'm talking about...you're damn right the CoC approves of this.
-
The answer is absolutely fucking no one. Jaa is a God. Convert to the CoC to save one's soul and pray to FLAMING LEG KICKS and broken bones.
-
I will now practice running atop elephants, replacing said elephants with some unsuspecting co-workers.HR will be having a busy day today.
-
F*cking amazing trailer... Really impressed haven't been excited about a modern kung fu flick in years.. Jaa is really showing up china and Japan with his take on the kung fu flick... CTHD has done a lot of damage with everyone forgetting how good the old classic were. I would like to see Jaa remeake old classics like Snake in Monkeys Shadow or Thundering Mantis..
-
Did you have your Racist Bran Flakes this morning?
-
Ong Bak 2 is my most anticipated film of 2008. The first Ong Bak had awesome fight scenes, Warrior King topped this and now trailer has got me all excited.
I fear the day Hollywood get their grubby mitts on him, putting him in films and saying no you cant do that we will get a stunt double for you. THE FOOLS -
everyone go watch the first one and tell me that guy he fights in the club isnt adam sandler from airheads
-
which is fine by me. The original was fun and all but certainly not badass. Hardly anybody was annihilated like they were in The Protector. It was like one of the cuter Jackie Chan movies. This one looks insane...and not even in the same time period, apparently. Works for me. Elbows and knees, motherfucker.
-
Looks kick ass!
-
I absolutely agree...The Protector was outrageous in the amount of broken arms and legs that Tony inflicted in that one scene. That and smoking those behemoth dudes with elephant bones AND seeing a baby elephant tossed...classic!
-
You will regret it. Fuck this thread makes me happy, where's abom?
-
Elephant tossing then in the first one, you just don't get enough of that these days.
-
What this movie amounts to is an instruction video for warciples.
-
Maybe we could see a Rambo/Jaa movie? Are a Rambo Vs. Jaa movie? That would be fucking amazing.
-
Interesting thought, but I really like Jaa being one versus everyone. I like me my angry Jaa all alone. Plus, Rambo couldn't hold Tony's balls without exploding into a fiery mess. They can go supernova with just a thought.
-
no. Bad idea. Vs movies ALWAYS suck.
-
and think we approve. We fucking don't. STOP MAKING SHITTY Vs MOVIES OR I'LL COME AND KILL YOUR PETS WITH A STAPLER AND A #2 PENCIL.
-
Effective, 6/17/08, 11:34:01 AM EST.(for historical documentation purposes)
-
if this is being called that like here in the US any maybe other countries to captalize on the 1st movie...
Kind of like Bruce Lee's Way of the Dragon, when they released it in the US..it was released after Bruces death and after Enter The Dragon and it was called Return ofthe Dragon instead?
Just wondeing since this movie looks nothing like the 1st one -
made me re-watch ong bak, tom yum goong AND born to fight (yeah, I know, no tony jaa there. but it's pretty awesome, and that truck stunt is kick ass).
btw., just saw on imdb that lateef crowder (capoeira guy from tom yum goong's temple fight) has been cast as eddy gordo in tekken movie.
very cool: movie is gonna suck for sure, but now we may get a good fight or two out of it. -
Seriously- Ecks v Sever: Sucked. Freddy v Jason: Sucked, but is the best of them- simply because Kelly (untalented one in Destiny's Child) got smacked in the head with a machete. But it did waste Katherine Isabella, who makes me happy in the pants and either should have got naked or been the lead. Alien v PRedator: Sucked. Thank you PWSA you massive, massive dick. AvP:R- One of the worst films ever made. I wish death upon everyone involved in it. That's all I can remember, but they ALWAYS blow- Vs movie is a wank fanboy idea that is much better left to the imagination.
-
I am only saying it assuming Sly keeps complete control over it. No one else. I'd rather see a Rambo movie where Jaa is the bad guy. I just want a real action star bringing Jaa to American audiences, though if he stays in Asia that is preferred. I just don't want him to be Jackie Chan. I want someone who will make a movie with him showing that his a BA, not a silly sidekick with cool moves.
-
We'd probably get another piece of shit like Lethal Weapon 4 where Jet Li should have killed everyone 30 times over. There is no way Rambo could kill Tony Jaa. In fact, Tony Jaa can't be killed..by anyone or anything.
-
Like in the movie, not the actual title of the movie. Like a scene where Rambo fights Tony Jaa or something, its never gonna happen though. Becuase Rambo would just gun him down.
-
What matters is that you found one of the true sources of knowledge that the CoC is beholden to...Tony Jaa.
-
Better to have Jackie Chan's American career or Jet Li's? Lethal Weapon 4 is atrocious. People need to suffer for that. But no "Rambo Vs The Protector". Having said that, I wouldn't mind if he was used as a villain in Rambo 5- but a new character in a new movie. And he has to kick some serious ass- legs on fire or not- people have to get hurt.
-
Dont get me wrong fellas, I absolutely loves the guys moves and skills. Im in awe of some of the stuff he has done..but In the first two movies I seen him in, I just felt he was lacking a charisma / personality that people like Bruce Lee or a Donny Yen or a few others had..maybe it was just those particual roles?
-
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=46009
-
Series and Pillows posted what I was going to put up before me. Some sort of Changian telepathy, obviously.
-
He is swedish. Swear to God.
-
I much prefer Kiss of the Dragon to anything that Chan did here.That just won't work though, Rambo vs. Tony. How would you work it..Rambo must go into an isolated jungle to save a whole platoon, only to find that they've all been slaughtered by Tony Jaa? Then Rambo must hunt down Tony Jaa...Rambo would not get out of it without at least one arm and one leg broken, bones protruding out in various angles.
-
Yes, the Protector was a fucking masterpiece.
-
is a good point. I thought it was alright, that final fight scene though was pretty good. Old man strength vs Kung Fu. You could see where Jet was like why the fuck won't these guys stay down? I know DGDB is all for Leathal Weapon 4. I though it was one of the better restart movies. If anything it started the whole trend of amping up the movies to impossible levels.
-
I would hope that just once they would get these fighting game movies right. If they were smart they would fire everyone they have working on it now and just get Tony Jaa to make the movie. It may not have the best plot of acting but at least there would be some BAD ASS MOTHERFUCKING FIGHTS!!!!!!!
-
fucking horrible movie- just on the wrong side of the line. Double Team is truly great though.
-
His FLAMING LEG KICK could warm up the earth for 2 months straight if the sun died.
-
Is when I realized they had to REMOVE prosthetics from Mickey Rourke's face for Sin City.
-
The slavery shite in it. Old Far Married Rigs, waste of Danny Glover, Chris Rock, Laughing Gas Scene, Chris Rock, etc. The reason Chris Rock is so bad is that he's an unnecessary "comedy" sidekick and wasted valuable action time with his shitty "I'm secretly married to murtaugh's daughter" sideplot. CRAP CRAP CRAP.
-
with not enough shit going down. If they had balls in the final fight, at least one of them would have bit the bullet.
-
Typing is not my strong point. And Burt does not approve of proof reading.
-
I prefer Jet's acting in Unleashed myself, but he ain't bad in Kiss of the Dragon. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but the short dude of the blonde fighting tandem, was he the dude bouncing around in Die Hard 4?
-
EKS vs. Sever was just terrible all over. Its biggest flaw was that it was just BORING. OH god was that movie boring. I think that movie thought it was being super serious. Now Double Team, theres a cheesy movie I love. That movie just went from scene to scene trying to top its self is ridiculousness. Its too bad/sad that the same director and JCVD couldn't find the same fun in knocked up. Leave it to Rob Schnider to ruin everyones fun.

Good thing I keep a spare pair of pants at work
by hawaiian organ donor
Because I just creamed myself.Tony Jaa is the only man alive who could survive a ride in the atomic fridge.Sadly, most of us will have to wait until video to watch this.
-
worth it for lots of reasons- but Bridget Fonda as a Parisien Hooker has to be high up it. Even if she didn't get naked. And she has been in one of the few remakes that didn't blow- even if it wasn't as good as the original
-
A slight correction, Tony would not need to hide in a fridge. His FLAMING LEG KICK would serve as a barrier, if you will, to any nuclear fallout and the actual blast.
-
and that shit about his wife writing crap porn and him being embarrassed about the money makes me angry. It makes part 3 look like Enter The Dragon.
-
Then I'm probably on my own with that. The blonde dude from Die Hard 4.0 was the guy in B-13.
-
I expect this TB to be number 1 by the time I return tomorrow.
-
Tony Jaa will save us all!
Warciples, today is sign of things to come! I'll see you all soon my friends -
is in dire need of a FLK. I want there to be no doubt about this.
-
Is it worth my time to check it out?
-
Holy shit that is still the greatest thing I have ever seen and this looks like what Final Crisis should be. Tony Jaa fucking shit up.
-
Amen brother!
-
Instead of Knocked off. Both though are just terrible terrible movies. Speaking of Seth, when's his action comedy coming out? He's about due for one.
-
but can he do the Van Damme splits?
-
Is in The Warlords. Have no warciples seen it yet? Get thee to a video store stat. Cannon balls haven't been properly used like that since The Patriot.
-
was the roles son. in ong bak he was playing a humble farm boy and you could tell, in tom yum goong he was playing a more badass aggressive character.
-
Was a pretty sweet action movie. Its like an hour and 15 min long so its worth your time. Its all that hyped up parkour fighting that hollywood is trying to make there own right now.
-
The Weinstein Company bought global rights back in '06, then sold all of them back because of a weak DVD market and the fact that it's a period piece unlike the in-name-only predecessor. All, that is, except for the United States. At least that's how it went down according to Variety. So, there's a 50/50 chance the US release will get totally fucked up. OK, 70/40. And not 70/40 in a good way, either. We're talking about people who dumped a Tony Jaa movie because it's not set in the modern day. Never mind that period martial arts films tend to perform better than modern-day ones at the boxoffice, on average. This is the Weinsteins we're talking about, logic doesn't enter into it.
-
how the fuck weird would that be. Sallah, Shortround, Henry Jones, Mutt, TONY JAA AND HIS FUCKING FLAMING KNEES OF TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION! Fuck. That's what the next Indy movie needs. Flaming knees to Russian necks.
-
TONY JAA FOR CAPTAIN FALCON
-
But well worth watching because action cheese is meant to be dumber than hell. And that yokimbo or whatever the hell they call that jumping around crap is the tits.
-
Thats the actors name from Die Hard 4.0 and B-13, he'll probably be the zany kung fu side kick in Seth Rogans action comedy coming 2010.
-
I am tempted to ask for a flaming knee to my face right after i order my chicken. Fucking hell that fight club scene in ong bak is one of the best fight scenes ever.
-
not really. just youtube all the coolest scenes.
action is great, plot makes no sense what so ever. -
That would indeed suck because Rambo would 'have' to win in the end. I just watched Rambo this past weekend, and it was an amazing bloodbath! But I do not want Jaa vs Stallone. It would be tantamount to Bruce Lee vs Adam West in Batman. Actually it was worse, it was Lee vs Burt Ward (Kato vs Robin and Kato loses?) I was like two years old when i saw the rerun of that episode, and even then my lil toadkiller brain knew it was very wrong, I threw my pablum at the TV! So, no Jaa vs Stallone. It would turn into a damn Rocky Horror picture show - with me throwing everything possible at the screen to show my disgust!
-
And I wonder how it didn't make its way into the Incredible Hulk in the Brazilian scenes. You know some exec wanted to.
-
Tony Jaa uses an atomic fridge to bowl. While the rest of us use the tried and true alley and bowling ball method, Tony sets up pins on nuclear blast sites and rides the atomic fridge all the way to the perfect game.Fact: he has never bowled less than a 300.
-
that guy from b-13 HAD to be prince of persia.
I remember first seeing trailer for b-13 at the time when I was playing sands of time.
I thought it was trailer for PoP movie, set in modern environment. -
Even Burt ward looked embarrassed to still be conscious after 'fighting' Bruce Lee in that episode. Robin could kick Penguin ass, but Kato? NFway! And uh, I will just forget I read that comment of yours about the Ox.
-
...how different cultures view movie trailers. Because if you were going to do a trailer for an American movie, where half the trailer was just a list of how people in the movie intended to hit other people in the movie, it'd have to be a Will Ferrel comedy about American karate schools in the 1970s."Kick guy in head" "Punch guy in head" That sort of thing.But I guess they do things differently across the Pacific. And as I said, I kind of like it.
-
I have no use for plots on this day...
-
Did you mean the Twin Warriors? I couldn't find The Warriors for Jet...
-
I think he did a very good job in Danny the Dog, but I dont see no love on these boards for his earlier movies like Fist of Legend or the Once Upon A Time In China series? Especially the first two.
FOL is the first Jet Li movie I ever saw cost $80 bucks to get the movie on VHS and shipped over to the US that was around 95 or 96 I think. I want to say 96. -
You are right, I haven't seen Once upon in a while, think I'll add it to the queue. Now I've never seen Fist of Legend, so I think I'll add that puppy as well...
-
Never enjoyed a Bruce Lee film? My God son, Enter the Dragon is just about the most magnificent cimematic martial arts movie that was ever made! Someone give me a defibrillator, I need to use it on DGDB!
-
But other than that, this movie looks gorgeous. I hope it's not just a series of cage matches, though.
-
I was quite surprised. Damn entertaining film as well.
-
He was indeed awesome. If you prefer Tony or Jet over Bruce, that's fine, but one cannot badmouth Bruce. He is a God as well...
-
Twin Warriors is a completely different movie and if I remember correctly, stupidly entertaining. Here's a link to HK Flix for The Warriors:http://tinyurl.com/6ln4mwJust an amazing movie.Anyone watch The Machine Girl yet? Watched it again on the weekend. Makes Kill Bill look like a Charlie Brown Christmas special.
-
Tony does that every morning to get to work, the cameras just happened to be rolling and they decided to throw it into the movie.
-
Let's not bring The Warriors into this TB.
-
I don't see it on netflix. FLAMING LEG KICK to netflix!
-
We got the Saracens sitting next to the Jones Street Boys. We've got the Moonrunners right by the Van Cortlandt Rangers. Nobody is wasting nobody. That... is a miracle. And miracles is the way things ought to
-
You're standing right now with nine delegates from 100 gangs, and there's over a hundred more. That's 20,000 hardcore members. Forty Thousand, counting affiliates, and twenty-thousand more, not organized, but ready to fight: 60,000 soldiers! Now, there ain't but 20,000 police in the whole town. Can you dig it? Can you dig it?! Caaannnn Yoouuuu Diiiig IT!
-
Seriously I don't understand how they're going to reboot that and NOT consider Tony Jaa being in it!!! If anyone is capable of pulling off the Bicycle Kick without fancy wirework, then it's Jaa!!!
-
Bruce was in total control. He was the baddest of bad asses and his style was aped for thirty years. The single most charismatic martial artist of all time. And the mannerisms alone were worth admission. The one thing I always remember aside for the ass kickings he gave out, was that if anyone managed to hit Lee in the face, or God forbid, cut him so he would bleed, that was a dead, dead, dead dude. I don't mean just on screen, I mean he would kill the fucking stuntman who did it! That was the baddest dude of all time. And you really should watch the Chinese Connection to see Bruce just administer insane amounts of pain and damage to Human beings.
-
Seriously. I have been to Thailand many times, seen many movies in theaters there. The only thing cool about Thai movies is having to stand for the sappy montage of the king signing documents and dedicating new dams and schools and things which they show before every movie.Other than that every one I have seen has been pretty bad, primarily due to tohe high cheese factor; the lack of structural coherence to the plot above "This happened and then this happened and then this happened" . Even a lot of our bad movies have better directing than the Thai movies I have seen. I am certain it is a cultural thing, but I think the subtle expertness of directors like Spielberg and Scorsese is universal; why can't Thai directors take a page or two from their book? I watched a thai comedy/horror movie with my Thai girlfriend and it was the worst thing I've ever seen; she absolutely loved it.Anyways, I am sure this movie will have great actions et pieces, no doubt about it...and thats it. The acting, plot and script will be unbearable. Just a fair warning.
-
Even when Bruce is tossing around obvioulsy rag dolls fillin in for Japaneese Warriors in the dojo scene
Teacher! Teacher! TEEEAAAACHER!
Have pity? Who had pity for Huo Yuan-Chia?!
Why did you kill my teacher then? Why did you kill my teacher? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
-
Just what we want from a Tony Jaa movie where he's kicking everyone's ass 46 different ways.
-
You won't find The Warlords on Netflix. You might want to look into a site like TigerCinema that specializes in Asian rentals. Either that or go to the tubes and grab it. All members of the CoC should have their status revoked if they do not see The Warlords, The Machine Girl, Chocolate and Invisible Target before the end of the month.
-
and the movie was fucking awesome.
-
what a fucking sweet film, though i really want to see the subtitled version rather than the dubbed version.
-
It has been a while. Could have used your uh, brand of liberal justice - not to mention diseased Monkey insults on a few TB's. As for your buds, well I hear BraneRobot got himself banned because of something in the Russert obit TB. I do not know that for sure though. I have not seen Morbid in quite a while. As far as glovedone, he is travelling under the nom de plume of Braffed. He was over on the Capone Hulk thread not too long ago. He will just run away and hide again if you show up though!
-
You have not seen the subtitled version of Fist of Legend, that really blows! I was importing Hong Kong Films left and right on VHS back in the early 90's every single I have I made for sure was subtitled. I still have them all. Thank goodness, cause some of them didnt make it to DVD and I noticed that quite a few that did, sometimes had scenes missing or some of the subtitles changed (and not for the better)

People knocking Tony Jaa movies need a lifetime ban
by hawaiian organ donor
Thai movies are even worse than Korean movies when it comes to sitting through the bad to get tot he good. Korean movies are a 10:1 ratio, Thai probably 20:1. For every Chocolate, Ong Bak and Tom Yum Goong you have to sit through a dozen Dynamite Warriors, Spirited Killers and Tiger Blades.But you sometimes gotta deal with a few teeth during a blow job so sitting through the bad to get a great payoff is generally worth it.
-
I don't know why I don't get into these movies more. They never disappoint.
-
Was alllllllllright. That assault on the village when women, children and the elderly were fair game was the biggest slap in the face to the you-can't-do-that rule since Robocop 2. And the lead actor, Tony Jaa Jr. wasn't too shabby either.
-
Has me wanting to go home and drink a keg while watching Tony Jaa's and Donnie Yen's greatest hits.Now there's an on screen pairing we need. Jaa and Yen. Directed by Chan Ho Park. And throw in Sammo as the villain.
-
True, but there's no way Jet should have ever lost that fight without taking one of them with him.
-
And Bruce Lee would have taken them both!
-
Hey, I love Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, and think they could have kicked numerous people's asses in a believable fashion, but fuck, not Jet Li. Bruce would have killed them both with just his stare.
-
I'm pretty sure he could stop a charging rhino with his knee.
-
Hehe..
-
Dude f'in rocks
-
Katherine Isabelle DOES get naked in Freddy vs. Jason, right at the beginning. She takes a shower while Jason crushes her boyfriend with the bed. Not that this makes it a good movie, but at least remember it right. As for this actually I think the best part is that the actual FILM looks like it might be worth a shit, unlike Ong-Bak and to a serious extreme The Protector, which was REALLY repetitive. He goes to a place, yells Where's my elephant, beats people up. I love seeing flaming leg kicks but the story has to engage me at least the barest minimum.
-
But Tony Jaa fucking rocks, so I'm definitely going to see this!
-
Methinks you need to change your handle to "myexpectationsaretoobig." Exposition in The Protector would have been distracting. Keep in mind, he may just be beating people up, but he continued to find new ways to do it: one-take stairwell assault where people get thrown over the side, flaming legs kicks, splitting a guy's nuts with the Mary Lou Retton leg snap and giant elephant bones with the x-ray slash tendon action.And not once did he need to hop into a kitchen appliance.
-
He could have flicked his sweat at Mel or Danny, and they would have dropped dead right on the spot!
-
Better not call an elephant fat...Tony wouldn't like that.
-
FLAMING LEG KICK was in Ong Bak at that gas station or whatever it was. The Protector featured 73 broken arms and 67 broken legs from that one scene, true fact.
-
You queers ever here of a guy named Donnie Yen??? Donnie Yen is one bad motherfucker don't believe me hust ask him. Or watch Flash Point, Dragon Tiger Gate, SPL, or any of dozens of hard core fighting. Not just beautiful choreography but practical balls out fighting. And for Choreography as amazing as Ja is no none I repeat no one can touch the origianl Venoms. Kuo Chui and Lu Feng are the masters, bow down fuckers
-
Thank you. I'm here every Tuesday and Thursday. Don't forget to tip your waitress.Pillow, sorry I mixed that up. When you watch as many Asian movies as I do, the flaming leg kicks start to blend together.Picardsucks, check my posts, dude. I give love to Donnie Yen daily. Donnie is one of the few guys alive who can elevate a movie like Dragon Tiger Gate from shit to crap. And if there's a better movie out of Hong Kong than SPL in the past 10 years I have yet to see it.
-
Who gives a fuck about the plot in these types of movies. All that matters is that Tony gets pissed off and decides to beat the fucking snot out of unlucky dudes. THAT is what's important here. Please don't lose focus on that with silly plot details and whatnot.
-
Which I would characterize as acrobatic Muay-Thai with elephants. He's very good at it, and should stick to it. The Muay-Thai with elephants looked great. The kung-fu and samurai stuff did not suit him, imho.
-
Everyone is excited about more FLAMING LEG KICK action. The CoC will be handing out free tickets to all members provided they perform a FLAMING LEG KICK at work. We want fire alarms to go off people!
-
But you can kick an unholy amount of ass in a Tony Jaa movie. FLAMING LEG KICKS ahoy!
-
Clearly the threat of having one's head come clean off via a FLAMING LEG KICK would be a great deterrent to any lack of hustle by the players.Maybe Tony could teach the baserunners to take out the second baseman on any potential double plays with a FLAMING LEG KICK slide. I'm sure if you don't bring the spikes up it'll be legit.
-
Supes movie. FLAMING LEG KICK the kid right from the get-go. Make it a krypton leg kick.
-
Would give new meaning to a "hard" foul.
-
I would watch that...players bursting into flames due to Tony getting a little wild with his kicks at the ball. I bet no one would cut him off in the corner.
-
Throw Kill Zone and Flash Point into your queue. Kill Zone (aka Sha Po Long aka SPL) is hands down the best film he's ever done. Just some mammoth fight scenes. Flash Point is disposable trash right up until the fight scene at the end. It goes to great lengths to make reparations for the shitpile of celluloid that preceded it.Please tell me you've seen Stephen Chow movies.
-
Please do five Hail Burtons, 10 flaming leg kicks and 20 #2 stabbings to bring the NBA title back to Boston tonight.Ol' Hawaiian needs a break. I haven't be able to celebrate a championship for one of my teams since the '93 Jays.
-
Now how can you like the Celts and then like the Jays? That's doubly crazy if you're up in the Boston area.While I don't follow the NBA anymore, consider yourself good to go with your request. That's the daily ritual of any true warciple anyways. It's your lucky day too, since I have 23 stabbings of shitheels so far.
-
Never seen those two words joined together.
-
My jaw dropped. Tony Jaa kicks arse!
-
At least he's disappeared during the Finals it seems...
-
You'll think differently when the samurai monkey movie comes out....
-
during the 'real' season. I do confess that I used to always cheer for them back in the 80's because they were just so gosh darn awful. Much like the bright orange Tampa Bay Bucs. Then when they changed their jerseys, they were dead to me.
-
there was some pain brought in this trailer.
Thats what was missing from The Happening..Tony Jaa dressed up like a tree, fucking shit up. -
To take that idea one step further, Tony Jaa in ANY movie that has shortcomings would be great.
-
Being Canadian by birth (American by naturalization, bitches!) I have to throw my support to the Jays and the Leafs. I hooked onto the Celtics during the Larry Bird days and have been with them ever since. And living in North Carolina, I gotta support the Panthers (who at least made it to the Super Bowl) in '94. So my teams are all over the place. I'm more interested in Paul Pierce finally bringing the trophy to Beantown.Gotta go sharpen some pencils and pour gasoline on my shins.
-
until it gets an actual name?
-
has been in.Pretty Woman would have changed into Pretty Scarred. First Knight would have been First Flaming Leg Kick. Runaway Bride would have been Runaway Flaming Leg Kick.
-
Please tell me why more people don't know of that movie? Kung Fu Hustle deserves it's very own theater than runs it 365/24/7.
-
See, but at least your teams have won (Jays - twice) and the Celts are on the verge. Me, I'm a Jet and Met fan. It really don't get worse than that.
-
The Panthers weren't even a team in 94. That would be 2004 that they were in the Super Bowl.The Clippers will win a title before I die. If the Red Sox and Bucs can turn it around, the Clips can.
-
Damn LibWar, what you got against monkeys?
-
The Jets and Mets had their time back in the late 60's/early 70's and they will return to form. And hell, the Mets won it in '86 which is more than long suffering Cubs fans can say.
-
Would have been the *end* of your average Hollywood action movie.
I was floored when I realized there was nowhere to go but up from there. -
God of Cookery is another favourite of mine.
-
but I wasn't alive when the Jets won their only title they'll ever win, and the Mets '86 title looks more and more like a fluke. Hell, the Marlins have won two freak'n championships since '97.Cubbies are looking good this year though.

Is there a better moment in cinema in recent years
by hawaiian organ donor
Than the introduction of the Axe Gang through the jazzy street dance in Kung Fu Hustle?
-
They might as well just call every movie that to the point where the average movie goers begin to think that Tony Jaa's actual name is Ong Bak...
-
That is all.
-
...but it had dudes fighting each other ON THE BACKS OF ELEPHANTS!
I am so there.
Where's anchorite? He never misses an opportunity to slam Tony Jaa for his "poor" martial arts. -
poor martial arts? For real?
-
When apes rule our planet, it will be because the monkeys were the "brains" of the operation.
-
Have a nice FLAMING LEG KICK night...
-
The Tampa Bay Lightning? The Mighty Ducks? The Carolina Hurricanes? The Miami Heat? The Pittsburgh Steelers? The St. Louis Cardinals?I mean really, these are once-and-done, first-to-worst teams. They win it all and then the following year disappear like a fart in the wind.If the Celtics win tonight and Holland wins Euro2008, I can go years without another championship.
-
has another pimped out elephant skeleton that upsets him by inducing awkward flashbacks
-
Jaa, man, Jaa. I'm there.
-
I've been with the Celtics for the past 22 years. And that's a lot of leans years, sir. I was there for the deaths of Len Bias and Reggie Lewis, the draft pick of Eric Montross, Rick Pitino and those damn draft lottery balls. I'm a long suffering fan and I think I deserve to celebrate a championship in any sport for the first time in 15 years.And if Danny can clear out of L.A., then it needs to be carpet bombed. All those smug celebrities sitting courtside at the Staples Center make my asshole twitch.
-
The Steelers were absolutely legit. If you recall, the year before they won the superbowl, they were 15-1 in the regular season before losing - at home (ugh) in the championship game to eventual champion Patriots. The year they won, they did what had never been done before, won three road games against the Number 3, number 2, and number 1 seeds in the AFC. Oh, yes. I am a Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
-
So what with the Thai dialogue and Korean subtitles I didn't understand a thing that was going on. But with FLAMING LEGS KICKS you don't need to understand anything other than pain is being inflicted, bones are being broken and souls are being crushed.
-
Sorry about dissing your Steelers. I was just so pissed off that the Panthers lost in the NFC Championship and then Seattle and Pittsburgh played the ugliest Super Bowl in recent memory. I don't like dynasties (Yankees DIE, Lakers DIE) unless they are my teams but seeing the Spurs and the Pats win consecutively shows me that these are legitimate teams built to win for the long run.I got nothing against the Steelers, in fact Jerome Bettis, Mean Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw and Hines Ward are some of my favorite all time players.

Here's the best of the Best by each era - City of Violence
by picardsucks
And don't forget Ti Lung, He could whup ass with the best of them too and with a sword or spear in his hand you were seriously quite fucked!!! Or Chen Kuan Tai who happened to be a real life Wing Chun master in addition to Chinese Clark Gable look alike action star of Shaw Bros.
Best of the old school in no paeticular numerical order: 1. 36th Chamber of Shaolin 2. The Sentimental Swordsman 3. Masked Avengers 4. Kid with the Golden Arm 5. Avenging Warriors of Shaolin 6. Master of the Flying Gulitine 7. Crippled Avengers 8. Fist of the White Lotus 9. The Duel and The Angry Guest 10. The Master Strikes Back ( Master Ti Lung's son is kidnapped and castrated - guess what kid of shitstorm follows next)
11. Enter the Dragon 12. Return of the Dragon 13. The Street Fighter 1-2 14. Karate Warriors 15. Karate Bull Fighter 16. Karate Bear Fighter (Yes Sonny Chiba really does fight a Bull and a Bear) 16. Dynamo 17. Counterstrike
Best of the 80's-90's: 1.Police Story 2. Legend of the Drunken Master 3. Once Upon a Time In China I-III 4. Fist Of Legend 5. Meals on Wheels 5. Above the Law (Not the Seagal One) 6. Above the Law (The Seagal One)7. Magnificent Butcher 8. Shanghai Express 9. New Police Story 10. Love On Delivery (Young Stephen Chow, very funny )
Best of the Modern Era:
1. City Of Violence (Best Fight movie ever- don't fuck with angry Koreans 2. SPL 3. Arahan 4. Fearless 5. Flash Point (Hawaiian OD is right 90% poop but 10% BEST FIGHT SCENES EVER) 6. Dragon Tiger Gate (Many love it many hate it I loved it and regardless the Donnie Yen fights are fucking awesome) 7. Throwdown (Not really an action movie but the best Director todays take on the art of Judo is amazing and very exciting) 8. Ong Bak 9. Invisible Target (Another dumb movie with alot of guys who can whup ass) 10. The Crying Fist
God damn I love talking HK martial arts films we need our own talkback for this there are literally thousands of films we could discect and enjoy!!! HK has to watch out though the stuff coming out of South Korea is fucking mind blowing!!! Please Please Please see City Of Violence it's a Dragon Dynasty title and most Blockbusters have it. -
What about Kramer vs. Kramer, where Streep hits Hoffman with a samurai slasher?
-
No problem. And yes, the Steelers last Superbowl win, was a truly ugly game. Only a diehard Stillerz fan couild enjoy it - and only if you fast forward to the Hines Ward touchdown from Ranlde El, or the fast Willy touchdown run. Xiphos, you laid the wood to that dude! And yes 19-1! I loved that superbowl! I truly despise the patriots. All the sweeter because the G-men are another favorite team of mine (but can't touch the men of Steel)
-
Ah yes, don't mess with an angry Korean. You gotta love the trademark baseball bats that Koreans employ. And nice to see someone give a shoutout to Arahan. That was the third Korean movie I ever watched behind Tae Guk Gi and Silmodo and I couldn't believe studios outside of Hollywood were capable of making that stuff.Also, you need to check out CHOCOLATE. I'm sure that will crack your list.
-
oooh, look at me, I can throw knees and elbows for an hour and a half in a movie that makes no damn sense...fuck off with this crap
-
Chocolate is in my HKflix shopping cart. Got a stack of shit that just arrived that I have to go thru first. Blu-ray of Flash Point and Infernal Affairs 2 to name a couple. Watched CJ7 in Blu-ray on my 65" Mitsu DLP and though it was a true specticle I was quite disappointed. Not in that it wasn't a typical wacky Chow outlet, nor that it was more of a sentimental piece about a struggling father's love for his only son, but I thought it just fell flat and Chow doesn't even have that much screentime. I heard Chocolate is bad ass though!! I love asian cinema. Telling you brother we need an Asian Cinema talkback!!!! We could help moderate it and I'd wager there would be alot of interest in it. There are just sooooooo many wonderful films. Harry Asian Cinema talkback!!! Let me and HOD moderate could be alot of fun and I bet advertisers like HKFlix and YesAsia, Dragon Dynasty would line up!!!

Wow, that shogunshin guy is a real piece of work
by hawaiian organ donor
Glad I stayed in this TB all day with the good crowd. Well, except for this "alienindisguise" douchebag.OK my fellow HK fanatics, I'm going home to start the party early. When Paul Pierce is raising the trophy tonight, I'll be raising a pint or six.
-
I would just add a few more you missed. 70's-5 masters of death, Executioners of Shaolin (AKA executioners of death), 5 fingers of death, ALL BRUCE LEE MOVIES!(Enter the dragon, Way of the Dragon, The Big Boss, Fist of FURy, and 30 minutes of The Game of Death)and 5 Deadly Venoms...
PLUS... I know someone here called BRuce Lee overrated but I will say this with as much kindness as i can. BRUCE LEE put martial arts films on the GLOBAL MAP!! While most of the stars today are just martial artists, BRUCE LEE was both a MARTIAL ARTIST and a FIGHTER. He could back up alot of the shit seen on screen. If you don't like Bruce Lee then I don't see how you can have a valid opinion on martial arts movies...sorry but that is just my opinion. -
HKFlix and RedSunDVD get more of my hard earned dollars than anyone else.Chocolate will alter your life. It's that good.
-
Jaa needs a good crossover movie. Marvel needs a relatively low budget fare that will absolutely blow folks away. I'd love to write this script.
-
...all the good fights scenes in a handy condensed form!
-
...all the good fights scenes in a handy condensed form!
-
from tonyjaa .org: This was posted on TonyJaa.org:
Ong-Bak 2 is not a sequel to Ong-Bak but a remake of "Ai Noom Saraphad Phid", a film Tony made with his mentor Panna Ritthikrai several years ago. The film was never released and none of the old footage will be used, because when Panna and Jaa took it to the lab to be developed, they were informed it had expired. -
if it lacks in the story department then its going to blow chunks.
-
I mean the barest minimum. Ong-Bak had a good enough story.
-
Lokks like Mowgli dispenses with the Shit Kickings. Li'l Jungle Boy grows up in Badass Central, Southeast Asian Division. Panther Style, Bear Style, Tiger Style, Carrion Bird Style...
-
here's how a fight would go down him vs. jaa and li. jaa and li are doing rounhouse kicks and spins in the air in front of him as taunts, a lot of hardcore socky shit with their hands. Then Bruce doesnt want to give them the pleasure of a Bruce beatdown, so he takes out a gun and shoots them to the ground for wasting his fucking time. "Sometimes all is needed is a gun. Bam, and settles it."
-
Sasha Vujacic is a piece of euro-trash who needs to be kicked in the throat with a FLAMING LEG KICK. I hope he breaks both legs and rips every tendon in both hands tonight.
-
Quite possibly DRUNKEN MASTER 2 good.
And is he fighting a NINJA in one scene, I sure hope so. -
There's GOT to be a "King Louie" style somewhere, doesn't there? You Bet Your Coldsores. If there isn't, I'll fucking INVENT one. Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop............
-
Chuck Norris' beard could take 'im. :)
-
Gordon Liu's Master Kille. Awesome.
-
Be back at the end of the game. That is all.
-
I've got a bottle of wine and piss and vinegar in me right now. GO BOSTON!!! WOOHOO!!!
-
Tony Jaa... Drunken Boxing... Should be interesting... The guy who's throat he grabs, is making him drink alcohol lol. yeah i overanalyze trailers...
-
Mark my word.

see title

I haven't been this happy since my daughter was born
by hawaiian organ donor
What a night! Too bad I had to celebrate it all by myself. Tony Jaa rocks! The Dutch soccer team rocks! And my beloved Boston Celtics are once again NBA champs.Now if only my screenplays would win some contests this year I could die a happy man and donate all my organs to the CoC.LIFE IS GOOD!!!
-
i am mexican, was born and raised in l.a., and have been a lakers fan my entire life- and i have never and will never put one of those stupid flags on my car. that obnoxious shit has nothing to do with my culture.
-
congrats. the better team won. see you guys @ next year's rematch.
-
Ain't it?
-
would have been the most insane fucking thing in the history of insane fucking things.
-
but you don't get to see anything. Therefore, it's a waste.
-
At least you're getting SOMETHING.
We're made to deal with nothing but FAGS and WHORES here.It's the only thing they can think of shipping off to Cannes.
This is the Philippines being referred to.
-
Hollywood is probably drooling and calling Ridley Scoot and David S. Goyer to remake this movie as we speak.
-
one of our own, Xiphos, was on the receiving end of the ban hammer. Contact me for his email address if you want to wish him well in Afghanistan. The rest of you can fuck off. I don't know or like you so don't waste your effort as I will not be giving out his email address to just anyone.
-
What the fuck? What happened? How can Branerobot and shogunshin and a thousand other bastards still be allowed on these boards while they ban decent, upstanding folks like Xiphos?
-
In the thread Orcus mentioned above?Jarv, zone me his email.
-
on an obit thread. I don't even open obit threads any more- they've disgusted me ever since the Ledger/Renfro double whammy of appaling behaviour.
-
If you still have my e-mail address, fire it off to me please.I'd like a good explanation why Brane and Shogun are still allowed to post considering the vast amounts of bile each of them has spewed. That's just ridiculous.
-
Admitted Nazi and all-round scumbag Silverfinger doesn't get banned, but a stand-up guy like Xiphos does?
WTF, AICN?
FREE XIPHOS! -
Free speech! Free Xiphos!
-
I can't find it- drop me an email and I'll send it back.
-
fuck your mother LibWarrior...
-
Reading between the lines- it looks like he got into it on an obit thread and got banned. Obit threads are best avoided, to be honest. I feel that the mods should take the character of the TB-er into account- especially if it is a long time user, but it's up to them at the end of the day.
-
Jun 18, 2008 8:24:49 AM CDT
So, no joking about the dead and no asking why black people..
by braffed
talk in movies. Oh Boy.
-
talk about how big of a whore LibWarriors Mom is, I'll be fine
-
if you can't see what is wrong with a full on vitriolic flame war in an obit thread is then I really wonder about you. An obit thread is where you should read an account of their life, then post once, post quickly and fuck off. It is not the place to make crass jokes, moralise about their lives, or start abuse with other people. Have some class, for the love of god.
-
You know damned well that the question you asked was a crap piece of racist trolling- you put up an offensive generalisation in an innuendo laden post (material that an unfunny 80's comedian wouldn't use). You were picked up for it. Don't pout that you were hard done by, you weren't.
-
is so slutty she got more clap than an auditorium.
-
is so slutty the free clinic sends her a christmas card.
-
is so slutty when she got a new mini skirt, everyone commented on her nice belt.
-
is so slutty that I could've been his daddy, but the guy in line behind me had the correct change.
-
I was asking a simple question. Trying to get some insight from fellow movie-goers. I thought that thats what this site was all about. Besides, I'm part black so it's all good.
-
This shit is not funny. If it was funny you could continue. But it isn't. It's sub-White Men Can't Jump.
-
My stupid zone account seems to be very cranky, but please send me his private email, or send it to my private email where you sent the CoC information. This sucjks very hard. And yes you are absolutely right about BlackCrippler being DeadRobotBrane.
-
You were trolling- recycling a terrible scrubs quote virtually verbatim. Yes, I am ashamed that I know where you got it from, but without the rest of the dialogue/ knowledge of the character all it is is a racist gag. Give it up.
-
I apologized for the Leaf Hedger comments. I stand by by comments about Renfro.I just find that these "celebrities" are unforunatly role models for the youth and when one goes down because of poor judgement, well...
-
I'll be back in a few - have to put out some fires here.
-
Yes, Xiphos was indeed banned. He contacted me in the Zone as well. I've also got his email, so if you want to get a hold of him, you can contact me there. Apparently, he leaves for duty on Thursday.FREE XIPHOS!!!
-
I was sad about the passing od Stan Winston and Tim Russert. These were guys who contributed to the industries they represented and can never be replaced. Both were fine examples of professionalism and died from "real" diseases. Stan Winston was the man. What he gave to movie audiences for decades can not be measured by mediocre perfomances from washed-up, cocaine addicted has-been actors.
-
As may be. That does not mean that an obit thread is the correct place to trash them. Or even the correct time. It isn't about balance, it's about respect that a life is lost. Let some time pass and post it elsewhere, do not post it in an obituary. It's tacky, classless, smug revolting behaviour, and makes me wish that AICN would not allow open TB's on obit threads. The Ledger thread was absolutely despicable.
-
...some others zeroed in on BlackCrippler. At this point, he's prime suspect #1.Happened almost quicker than we thought, eh TKD?
-
What the fuck? A mental illness is still an illness.
-
needs to find a new way to name himself. I didn't even read the post to recognise him. He's like a dog returning to lick his own shit. AND FREE XIPHOS!
-
Granted, there are factors involved that can make one prone to be an addict, but in the end it's still a choice. Trust me, I have tons of experience in this area.
-
For fuck's sake. It's a compulsion.
-
and I suspect, no soul. And I've got tons of experience with addicts, so don't give me that shit.
-
The issue is when/where you post your negative comments about someone who's recently deceased. Don't post it in that person's obit. Simple as that.FREE XIPHOS!
-
just people that work for it. and what is your experience?
-
well noted. I will not do that ever again.
-
Dont see how its got anything to do with ong bak, but for the presence of Tony "the flying elbow of death" Jaa. it looks great cant wait.
-
fucking Jaa-some.
-
MNG, yes, he was spotted very quickly, I noticed it when he was the only one who asked about O'Reilly and Hannity - and your response was eloquent. Pillow, Jarv, you are absolutely correct, Obit's, should be about solemnity, not for posturing idiots like Braffed. Braffed, and believe me I know this is wasted typing, but grow up. Yes, this is an anonymous site and you can say (almost) anything you want. But do not whine when you are caught abd called on your offensive bullshit. If you had wanted to ask an innocent question, it would have been answered - just as I answered Abom. But you decided to couch it in overtly offensive and racist tones, using a stereotype of black speech to further make your point. You were caught and called, same as Anchorite, who has a history of doing the same crap. It was extremely easy to expose his true meaning by using his own words and following the logic trail. I have very, very little compunction about exposing such people as Anchorite, BraneCRippler, and you, for what you are. You are not in the same despicable class as BraneCrippler, and not as obnoxious as Anchorite, but that does not give you a pass either. Oh yeah, not rub salt in the wound - oh who am I kidding, LibWar destroyed you yet again. Grow up or give up. But I fully expect you ignore both pieces of that advice.
-
Thank you for the sound advice. I will file it away in the "Whiny little bitch" section just behind the file on LiWarrior.
-
Stop it. You're trolling and trying to provoke a flame war. You've been answered civilly about what was wrong with both those posts (something I suspect you know), and now you're pouting. Stop it. I'm not sharing where I have my knowledge of addiction from because this is an open forum, but I know what I'm talking about.
-
..Jaa had shown us his full repotoire, and held nothing back, it turns out he has a shit load still to give away.
And yes, we are still talking about Tony Jaa, you whining bitches. -
Is what I learned from Requiem for a Dream. And that shit ain't no joke. Anyone going through that deserves some compassion and help, not ridicule.And let's get back on the topic of Tony Jaa and Asian film. The CoC owes that to Xiphos.
-
Graduated from Johns Hopkins for Clinical counseling in 01. Got my LGPC shorty afterward. Worked at non-profit clinic for 3 years.
I know what im talking about, so get off your high-horse. -
And I'm not on my high-horse. By the way, what you have just posted is meaningless. I graduated from Oxford with a double first in clinical psychology then worked as a drug dealer in North london, so have experience from both sides of the fence. Complete horseshit, but just as verifiable as your post.
-
Im a state school dropout, and even I know your a douch.
-
and your like the Macdonald's of Flamers.
-
Where can I score some blow. Oh nevermind, I see g-ride is here!

I graduated with a beer gut and student debt I'll never pay off. All in the name of an English degree I'm not using.Is BraneCrippler the new BraneRobot?

MOWGLI LAYS THE BEATDOWN ON EXTRAS FROM "PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEA
by half-baked-goggle-box-do-gooder
Well, that's what it looks like.......

On how to get the bad taste of my nutsack off the back of his tounge.
-
Thanks for paying attention. Are you a stalker?
-
If you're going to stalk someone, make it a fat lying looser.
-
always was interested in psychology. Came from a poor family. Needed to pay my own way to college and beyond. Joined Army. Took night classes to get a good foundation. Applied to Johns Hopkins. Graduated with Masters. Took Licencing exam and Law exam. Passed. Worked in baltimore county. Now writing and researching as independant contractor. i like long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners and foot massages. ass.
-
Braffed, just watch the bad puns, cause like they're not funny.
-
Nice job at f-ing up a good thing, Braffed. Can't you take your pontificating back to the obit TB?
-
and if you ever want to discuss your anger due to being ignored as child and your fondness of vomit and shit due to a possible molestation to occured in your adolesence, my rate is fair. Toodles
-
you are the Ong Bak of bad comebacks
-
No understandable plot or reason for any otf the fighting, but who the hell's asking for it. Ten quid says this had a theatrical release. Protector did and it did...okay at the box office.
-
I really fuckin want to talk about martial arts movies with you folks and that dude is a waste of space on here. Does anybody know if Chocolate is getting a theatrical release here or is it coming straight to DVD? And if so, from who?
-
Why can't you just ignore that ass-pickle? Pwned or not, he's still laughing at you just for replying to him.
-
last time. I'm hoping for a repeat.
-
already has a copy from thailand, region III. So go get a cheap region free player from wal-mart for 30 bucks and order it now!!!
-
wait I can.....but it's so fun he's like an angry puppy trying to bite.
-
but what I guess what I want to hear is, will Dragon Dynasty be releasing a shinier version of the movie with all the fixins?
-
and actually, it's been nice to talk with you lately. You do not try and provoke me. LibWarrior and g-ride on the other hand...
-
edit button. badly needed
-
You are quite correct. HOD, you and picardsucks and a few others have a wealth of Asian movie knowledge, I was copying down a lot of the movies you recomended. I am intrigued about the Chocolate movie.
-
Heroes of the East may be my new favorite DD release. harry didn't even have it on his list, but it needs a shout out. That movie is fucking amazing. I had in on tape way back in the day, and I'm so excited to get it again. Yasuaki Kurata is the bees knees. That man can sell a move just as well as Tony Jaa. I groaned when he said he was gonna do a crab style but then he made it look like you could really kick someone's ass with such a weird style!! And that's the same guy who dueled Jet Li in Fist of Legend...blindfolded. one of my favorite screen fighters of all time.
-
what are some of your favorite screen fights?
-
The previously mentioned Gordon Liu versus Yasuaki Kurata in Heroes of the East is great. Also, for some reason I have always liked the fake fight in Legendary Weapons of china with Alexander Fu cheng pretending to be a kung fu master. That always made me laugh as a kid. fu Sheng really is a master of physical comedy and he's just hilarious, while you can still tell he's really got some skills. And of course the legendary fight between Jackie Chan and Benny "the Jet" Urquidez in Wheels on Meals. that is just a fantastic realistic brawl.
-
So far the only ones I see that have a Region 0 version of Chocolate is HKFlix. I'm sure Dragon Dynasty will release it before the year is out. As soon as word trickles to Europe and North America about what an amazing movie it is, the demand from guys like us will be high. I mean really, who doesn't want to see a 5'2" chick beat the living hell out of grown men?
-
Does it have an imdb listing? What is teh full title?
-
the best, when it's a girl because it's the whole underdog thing mixed with the physical attraction thing.
-
oh I do. I do. The trailer is incredible!! The visuals of seeing a small woman in a long skin do spinning jump kicks, with the fabric flowing and swaying with her movements, is something i am soooo looking forward to paying to see.
-
If you live in a city there is probably a Chinatown, even if it's only a block long...it'll have a bootleg video spot (or legit). You can find all the Sholin secrets therrrrre.
-
Sammo Hung vs Donnie Yen at the end of SPL. Stephen Chow vs the Axe Gang in Pig Sty Alley at the end of Hustle. Jet Li vs Qin Lei in the tea house in Fearless. Tony Jaa's ascent up the staircase in Tom Yum Goong. The sashimi knife stabfest at the end of City of Violence. Chikuma vs Yashamaru in Shinobi (this one deserves special honors). The finale of Chocolate fought on the side of a building.
-
Here's the Wiki entry: http://tinyurl.com/3rgqaqIt has links to IMDB and other sites at the bottom.
-
When it becomes available, I will check it out.
-
was like the Kingpin vs Daredevil fight of my dreams.
Stephen Chow is one of the best filmmakers in the biz right now -
Beyond kung fu, there are some damn fine movies to be seen out there.1. Mr. Socrates [Korean] - good action and funny as hell2. Princess Aurora [Korean] - not quite as good a revenge flick as Oldboy but c'mon, a revenge flick will always put a smile on your face.3. Daisy [Korean] - assassins in Amsterdam (do I need to say more?)4. Yamato [Japanese] - Japan's answer to Bay's Pearl Harbor, chronicles the last days of the famed battleship, not great but some nice visuals.5. Japan Is Sinking - the Japanese try their hand at the big budget disaster flick, drags in spots but there are some nifty effects.6. Musa the Warrior [Korean] - fabulous action, Korea's version of Braveheart.7. Shadowless Sword [Korean] - wuxia meets cheese, some really silly stuff here but hard core babes and some neat fight sequences.8. Protege [Hong Kong] - gritty as balls cops vs mob stuff, not tons of action but when it's there it'll nail your sack to the wall
-
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. All day long I'd biddy biddy bum. If I were a wealthy man.And I'd also buy each and every one of you a copy of all the movies I mentioned above.Easter comes early, Chocolate for everyone!
-
The Host- a Korean monster movie, but the real star is the family dealing with their loss and hunting down the monster. A great blend of comedy, horror, and action.
Tears of the Black Tiger- a super violent, neo-western with style to spare. One of the most unique films I have ever watched. A must see.
Musa is sooooo excellent. -
Daimajin - ok, I know it is a monster flick, but it is a truly great story - that only brings in the 'monster' late in the movie and to tremendous effect.
-
is going to kick all our asses. so hard.
-
How did I miss that one in all my searches, TKD? Thanks for the heads up! Gonna add it to my TigerCinema queue.
-
I saw it as a kid, and it stuck with me. I hunted it down on DVD a few years ago, and it was just a great as I remembered - which is truly astonishing given how the transition from childhood to adulthood can often distort what we once thought was great. The follow up movies are not as good.
-
Delivered FLAMING LEG KICKS to those laker bums. How did your sports bar experience go, Danny? The place clear out of bandwagoners by halftime?
-
She's Autistic. Thats crazy. I'm sorry but I am on the other side of asian cinema, the gory side. I like the kung fu stuff every now and then. But 5 times out of 10 I end up renting the flying flowing Kung Fu stuff that just bores me.
-
Has anyone seen the late 90's series of movies for Gamera?
-
another piece of Asian cinema that is just great. Quirky and hilarious
-
Taste of Tea is in my Netflicks. They reported on here about some new crazy animie that director is going to do. They had a clip of it. It was in the Twitch film weekly international report.
-
HAVE ANY OF YOU SEEN THAT! OH MAN YOU SHOULD ITS THE GREATEST ASIAN MOVIE EVER!...... Oh yeah I am on AICN of course everyone knows that movie. Have you guys seen Ping Pong?
-
Don't worry about the autistic aspect. It's not much of a factor. The movie needs to be watched for the final showdown alone.And if you want gore than you need to watch The Machine Girl. That and Chocolate are the two movies I'm heralding at the moment to everyone I meet. Jarv, Danny, Pillow, TKD, KFHustler and you would think that someone tossed your salad if you watched them both back to back like I did a few weeks back.I haven't had a double feature experience like that since I watched Predator and Robocop back to back 20 years ago.
-
no harm, no foul.
-
They were quite good, I own a few of them.

Are you kidding? I actually just showed Oldby to a friend yesterday. He loved the ending. One of my favorite movies ever. And Ping Pong is great! What a charming, hilarious little sports movie. That and Shaolin Soccer are pretty much the only sports movies I have been able to stomach for awhile, but they're both awesome. And hey if you liked Oldboy, you needs to check out Takashi Miike's stuff. DOA is ridiculous, Ichi the Killer is brutal, and Audition is the best horror film I have ever seen.
-
HOD you recomended that to me as well. And it fell into the flying wire style fighting. It had a few cool scenes, but the fights were way too short and the final showdown sucked. I was a little dissappointed. Just because there were times when I was like OH man this is going to kick ass, then someone would get killed out of no where.
-
Holy fucking shit. I heard about it earlier in the year, but ignored it. I am now ashamed of myself.
-
Yeah I've pretty much seen all of Miike's stuff. I was just saying Oldboy, because that was one of the big hyped movies on this site a couple years back. Like its was Harry's movie of the year. Like TWBB was last year. Can't tell what it's going to be this year? Wall-E? But it usually has to be something not totally mainstream. Yeah Ping Pong was a great sports movie. Did anyone get a chance to see CJ7?
-
Sorry that Shinobi didn't work for you. That fight between the guy with wires up his sleeves and the guy with knives on his chains had me riveted. Instantly made my list of greatest fights ever. And the guy on the horse who looked into the girl's eyes and had every bone in his body snapped had me doing the Tiger Woods patented fist pump.Sincerely, I'm sorry it didn't work for you. I'll give you back those 2 hours of your life as soon as I get mine back from Mark Steven Johnson, Tim Story or Lucas.
-
Those 2 scenes where awesome. Just there was so much of that movie that wasn't. And they killed off waaaayyy too many people too early on.
-
but I am a HUGE Stephen Chow fan. anybody know who is releasing it stateside?
-
No doubt about that.And if anyone cares, the director's cut of Fearless is being released on DVD here next month.Sitting on the fence for CJ7. I have it, just haven't put it in yet.There's a movie out called Kung Fu Dunk that is supposed to be like Shaolin Soccer except involving basketball. I hear it's not very good but felt like throwing that out there.
-
You have a copy of CJ7? Pirate?
-
I got it from HKFlix. I ordered it on blind faith in Chow. So I hope it's good. Hopefully our children will see a day of simultaneous releases for Asian films. Because right now these specialty online vendors are getting ever last dollar I make. Some guys are addicted to porn, I'm addicted to Asian cinema.
-
CJ7 was going to get some sort of release stateside. I saw Kung Fu in a theater up in Cuntecticut, which is a state devoid of any good entertainment venues.
-
I live in fucking CT. It's got high taxes, high gas prices, corrupt state officials...and casinos! These clearly outweigh any lack of entertainment venues (not including those to see a concert, which are okay).
-
this looks great... Twitch rules!
-
So do you live in the biggest collection of KKK members section of CT? Or....ummmm, somewhere else? Do you chill at the Webster on your weekends? Stomp around Waterford Mall. Stop in for a bite to eat at shitty Mystic Pizza?
-
A god in the Church of Chang
-
with a tiger taming staff and a wolf dart. Whatever that is. Anyway, they're dead now because they looked at my baby elephant in a creepy way.
-
I can't wait for this to come on DVD but no doubt Weinstein will prevent any official Asian release with English subtitles, then make us wait another year for an English language version. I also can't wait to see Bangkok Adrenaline and another Thai martial-arts flick "chocolate"
-
I am proud to say was the first DVD I ever bought myself. Waaaay back at the beginning of my collection. Those thunder and lightning guys were chief. I remember wearing a basket to look like one of those big ass hats they had and running around the house waving my arms around at my dogs. good times.
-
and got fired. Whoops.
-
edit button please!
-
That's the type of action film I want to see! Thank you Tony Jaa. Also the NBA Finals were rigged! FACT. Boston can only cheat to get "championships" just look at the Pats. Jaa needs to come in and beat on pussy boy paul pierce: "Ouch I hurt my leg so badly! I need to be dramatically carried off court! I'm going to die everyone feel sorry for me! (2 minutes later)... Yay I'm back and I'm the man my leg feels fantastic!" The guy is such a bitch and he fakes injuries more than soccer players.
-
DAMN! I love the fact 2 is taking place in the past-at least that's what it looks like. Most of the BEST martial arts movies are in the past. Exception on Bruce Lee's movies. But damn, can't wait to see some bones crunching and blood gushing. And the idea of adding different styles of martial arts just makes my droole like Homer thinking of a dounut. Mmmm bone crunching. . . aaaaaaaaaaaa! IT BULLSHIT America can't get shit like that!

Looks like a peasant tribe kung fu movie, should be sweet

Yeah, we are all doing great. My wife is out of the morning sickness stage, so that is wonderful, and I get to find out what the baby is in a week or two.
I'll let Richard off the hook...this time -
Series7 - Ha, no, I don't live near any of those places, SW CT. Though my daughter loves the whales at Mystic....And I think everyone falls for the shitty Mystic pizza. Fuck you pretty woman....And Danny, it is like Narnia..heartless and filled with annoying kids...

Pencil Jihad against the moderators!!!!

The jumping from elephants to elephants back was crazy. If he felt he was a goner, crushed by however many tons of elephant.
-
It's no different than what I go through during my morning commute.
-
I don't have much to say--just here to pay (additional) homage to Tony Jaa. And to add a remark about how the sideshow collectible diorama advertised above curiously resembles one or two of the occasions I was beset by Wampas
-
when I began to be able to walk to work rather than having to spend 45 minutes on London's shitty dirty overpriced antiquated underground with my head jammed into a fat bastards armpit. I now ride a bear to work- it's much better, and I feed the bear at least 1 cyclist per trip.
-
I walk my baby elephant to work. On the freeway. Cars zip around us at 65mph. My infant pachyderm and I tread without fear, however; any vehicles coming near us receive a prompt FLK to the hood, resulting in a crushing impact not unlike that seen during the "skip-from-car-to-car" sequence in Matrix Reloaded. Oh, and it always results in driver fatality.
-
Given the prices of gas, I'd love to be able to take public transport to work, even if I had to share a train with nonbelieving shitheels (it would give me a morning workout to "school" them). But I have younglings to drop off at daycare and shit. Carpooling and public transport aren't an option to most working parents. Sigh...
-
Petrol prices are so prohibitive it's untrue, but the real things stopping me owning a car are Congestion charging, road tax, residents parking, and the fact that the tube is just faster. Where I live, there is literally nowhere to park (unless you want to come back to a burnt-out wreck), and it only takes me about 10 minutes to walk to work. 5 by Bear, 3 by Baby Elephant.
-
aka Ghost of Infidel. You shall be smited yet again fool...
-
While it doesn't save gas by itself, since I will be crushing/blowing up any cars in my way, the country will be saving gas in total. All due to me owning a tank. I should be a politician.

The Zombie Diaries- There was lots of good things in it, but also lots of shit. Good- great use of docudrama style filming- even though there was the usual unforgivable holding the camera while being chomped, excellent idea, Zombie=natural hazard may have been overdone but I still like it, end was a surprise. Bad- Acting. Utter shit. I know it is a zero budget British effort, but we've got hundreds of young actors that could have done a better job. Not enough zombies. A strange thing to say about a film called the ZOmbie Diaries, but really some more Zombie action would have been welcome, not especially frightening and some very, very unbelievable motivation, Overall I give it 6 out of 10 on the Jarv Scale- A good debut effort, could do better.
-
but really they were sort of useless- they just weren't intimidating and the whole thing made me feel like it was shot in a back garden- there was just no sense of scale. Every location looked identical.
-
I'll check out the Zombie Diaries as soon as I can find a copy. It sounds like you live in the good part of town.My commute to work improved significantly when I retrofitted the Prius with a #2 pencil launcher and an over-sized fist for Shitheel Slap Action (TM).I mentioned on the Mummy thread that the AFI just released a new list of the 10 best movies in each genre. Jack Burton is nowhere to be found.
-
Exhilarating piece of....work. So much doesn't happen during the movie, it's ridiculous. The "Gill-men" are classic though, as is the never-ending "chase" scene underwater.
-
Especially the Western one. And the romantic comedies one. Pathetic. Where I live is actually extremely close to one of London's nicest areas. The problem with London (especially central london) is that it grew organically so you've got lovely bits next to shit holes. Also if you want to live in central london it's astronomically expensive (The rent at Casa Del Jarv is well over $2000 per month- and it isn't big). I like where I live- it's very convenient, lots of fun but backs right up next to a grisly fucking crack hole. Anywho, hawaiian- when do you think Holland will have their usual implosion? QF or SF?
-
It's good, I haven't seen Romero's effort yet which is probably the closest comparison, but it's not a masterpiece. The director may go on to better things. Most uncool news of the day- They're 3/4 through filming The Descent 2. Want to take bets on it being as bad if not worse than 28 weeks later? When they bought Ealing and Hammer back from the dead the guys that did it said they wanted to be more like American studios- well done, assholes, your first effort is an unnecessary cash in sequel. You learnt fast.
-
romantic comedy - Philadelphia Story is tough to sit through, Roman Holiday is far superior. And for Fantasy, Groundhog Day and Big??? I like those movies, but top ten?
-
That's fucking ridiculous. I'm saying it'll be worse than 28 weeks later, because with that, at least you theoretically could continue the story. Not so with the descent. Why do we need to see another group of people stumble across those things?

Jarv, I didn't even want to think about that yet

But I put my money on the semis. Which is a shame considering how unstoppable they looked in those first three games.Portugal or Spain will probably win which is fine by me.
-
Are you blokes recommending I avoid it in the future?Jerry Maguire on that list is rubbish. Rudy was more deserving of that 10th spot.And any animation list without The Incredibles is immediately discounted.It's funny, the wife and I were talking about moving elsewhere and London is always tops on our list. Not that we can just pack everything up and move like in the movies, but of all the places in the world, London is the one that we both agree on.
-
And yes, the Incredibles is such a satisfying movie.Off to a meeting..it's gonna be a bloody one.
-
It's honestly one of the worst films I've seen this year. It's stupid, offensive, unrealistic, badly written, badly acted, badly directed, incomprehensible crap. Avoid. I find it amazing that some people think it is better than the first one. The Descent 2- it was on BBC's culture show last night and it is basically a rip-off of the first one. Also avoid. I normally try to watch British movies as the industry here is a fucking mess and needs support but I can't summon up any interest at all in it. I feel its worth nothing more than contempt. I could be wrong though.
-
My favourite description of London comes from I, Lucifer when Satan is talking about how he loves London. It always makes me laugh.
-
They'll inexplicably melt down against a crap Italy. I hope to god neither Portugal (I can't stand that preening tit) or Germany win it. I want the Dutch to, but now I've said it, that's the kiss of death.
-
Unfortunately now I would have to take out a loan (fuck you dollar, you fucking pansy ass muthafucker!).
-
I got nothing against them thar Eye-talians, but as happy I was that they beat France in the World Cup, I couldn't help but think that team just didn't deserve to be in the final.Unfortunately I don't see enough soccer (another reason I'd like to live in Europe) so I don't see enough of Ronaldo to hate him but if you say he's a tit then I'll believe you.Germany? I guess I could live with that.Croatia could be the dark horse too, I suppose.
-
From Chorleywood to downtown in like 45 min for only a couple of quid mate? And the seats are a lil'bit nicer then the normal underground. Then mind the gap and go rock out with my cock out in Sega World. Do they still have that downtown Lost Jarv? 28 Weeks later, I thought was a pretty good sequel to the original. Yeah there were gaps of logic that you could drive a bus through, but so did the first. I thought that first scene was pretty amazing. Any of you bloks read the Walking Dead? JPT - Man you need to go to the Webster just once, I met the lead singer to Ston Sour (and Slipknot) after a show there once and he was so pissed off about how crappy it was and how shitty people in CT are, someone stole his favorite beanie or something.
-
and not Ronaldo.
-
I'll send a web hug to Stone Sour singer. And then I'll stab him with a web based #2 pencil...shitheel.

by the Department of Homeland Defense has confirmed that most major metropolitan cities in the northeast united states would be completely unprepared in the event of a full scale zombie attack.
For transportation, I'm thinking of investing in an armored suit, like those seen in the upcoming Starship Troopers 3: Marauder. I think there's a photo at Rottentomatoes -

28 weeks later was wretched. Truly, truly awful. The first scene was the high point of the film, but what a fucking nosedive after that. Crap. One of my big gripes about it is the fact that they set it in London- aimed at realism and then totaly disregarded London geography. When they were trying to get from Canary Wharf to Parliament Hill (and why pass over Regent's Park, Primrose hill, Green Park and Hyde Park all of which are fucking huge open spaces and a fuck sight easier to get to) and then to Wembley in a pisstakingly short amount of time I was seething with rage- Fucking Iron Man couldn't make that run. Pathetic, you could tell it was made by someone that did not know the city. Which is part of my point about what a fucking lazy cash in it was.The tube now is something outrageous like £4 each way if you don't have an oyster card. I'm not sure because a)I rarely use it and b)I do have an oyster card (every Londoner does). Fuck knows if Sega world is still there, but that made me laugh.Ronaldo is a fucking great player, but a complete arsehole- Dives, cheats, whinges- he's basically a shit. I'd forgotten memories was Portuguesse. Now I've got two reasons to hope they lose.

When will thou see the truth? Open thy eyes to the goodness and ass kickery that is the Churh of Chang.The air will be cleaner for you to breathe, you will see clearer (x-ray vision), and your heart will be purer. There is still hope for you...

Warwick Davis (Leprechaun series)Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead series)Burt Gummer (Tremors series)If you have not done so, watch as many parts to each series as possible. Also practice your FLAMING LEG KICKS and rewatch a classic Kurt Russell movie tonight.You must also sharpen three #2 pencils and impale a few co-workers and/or neighbors. The day of shitheels is coming to an end. Together we can end this conflict.
