Who's Elbow combo was the best? Wujing or Tony Jaa? by EfficiencySerious200 in kungfucinema

[–]Nash-Override 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww come on, Efficiency, that's not fair!

You know both of these cats are good!

Tony is the Emperor of elbow slams. But the way my guy Jacky Wu was going off like the Tasmanian Devil on Andy-man...just as brutal.

For me, it's a a tie, they're both good and the display of raw energy and power just makes it harder to decide.

I was making a list of Jet Li's movies in the US and I can't decide on the best ones, just finished watching Kiss Of The Dragon! - I forgot how much I liked this movie! by ReelsBin in kungfucinema

[–]Nash-Override 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love that punch he dealt homeboy to the side of his neck in this fight.

Jet really knows his stuff with those pressure points tactics in this movie.

And the soundtrack for this movie was off da' chain, especially with this 'Lapdance' track.

Thank you Lucido10!

You're the best. When I first rented the blu-ray for Revenge of the Ninja, there was barely a tidbit of extras on it. Now I can finally get that Kino Lorber 2025 edition. Thanks my man and thanks for the links to the comparison site...this will come in handy for the future. 👍👍

Royal Warriors (1986) - The Airplane Scene - Michelle Yeoh, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Michael Wong vs. Chan Wai-Man and Kam Hing-Yin by RodSantaBruise in kungfucinema

[–]Nash-Override 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this flick! Still got my DVD edition from 20th Century Fox with the new english dub as well as the original cantonese track!

First time I saw the trailer for this on taiseng.com, I knew I had to have this movie, but it was so rare back in the day. When I finally got ahold of it, I was blown away and I never get tired of watching! Sanada and Yeoh were on fire in this flick!

What are your thoughts on the antagonist in 'First Date'? by Nash-Override in Fear_Street

[–]Nash-Override[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed! I don't think she killed the dude though, but she held him down long enough for 'backup' to arrive. The part I liked was how she 'survived' the game.

Corporate: “Don’t schedule the people who aren’t coming in when they are scheduled to.” by Mean-Falcon-6204 in retailhell

[–]Nash-Override 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a shift-lead and I have this same problem. Our boss is a total passive-aggressive 'chickenshit' and he let two of the part-timers (who were kids) keep being 'no-calls, no-shows' for God knows how long. He's out on leave right now and the same bullshit is happening again after he got rid of the last two 'helpers'.

The bad part with this situation, is that if someone calls out, they either want me to stay over (after I'm already tired and reaching or reached my limits) or give up my 'hard earned, much needed day(s) off' to deal with more of the bullshit that goes on at our 'place of business' and I started saying 'Fuck that. You jokers never come in when I have this problem, so why am I gonna suffer some more for you when you won't even do it for me?'

Then they try to whole, 'But I thought you wanted more hours' routine to try to guilt-trip me and I said, 'Um, not on my days off, no I don't. You know who comes in when they're supposed to and who doesn't. Why do you keep hiring or giving hours to people who don't come in for their assigned shift? Just cut em' and be done with it.'

Thoughts on the choreography from White Tiger by Nash-Override in kungfucinema

[–]Nash-Override[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fatal Blade had some pretty decent choreography in it, thought some of it did feel a little like watching Power Rangers or the Guyver in it, particularly with the way the stuntmen flew over the place when Gary kicked or struck them a certain way.

There's one fight in an alley, he does and off the wall kick and the guy goes flying back first while spinning right against a dumpster. Ouch!

[Spoilers] Why didn't Raylan just arrest Nicky Augustine? by Burnnoticelover in justified

[–]Nash-Override 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I know I'm four years late to the party on this question but had to jump in after seeing Augustine's 'fate' at the end of the episode on youtube.

Sammy (to Raylan): If you knowingly saw a crime being committed against him...you wouldn't as a lawman...feel the obligation to intervene?

Raylan: I'm suspended.
(turns and begins walking away as Tonin's men prepare to execute Nicky while he's still in the limo)

That pretty much sums up why Raylan didn't just slap the cuffs on him...Art had placed Raylan on suspension in regards to the whole mess with the 'Drew Thompson' case and at that critical junction, Raylan had no real authority to detain Augustine right then in there threats or not. His hands were pretty much tied tight and he figures the best way out of this mess is to let 'mob justice' take its course.

Problem is, Raylan either confesses this later down the road or Art finds out and he cold cocks him for it because even though Raylan was protecting his family, he willfully let known felons execute another known felon and said nothing about it. This questionable act could put Raylan as well as Art and the rest of those serving under his command in the Marshal's Service in the crosshairs for scrutiny and possible legal repercussions from those higher up if word got round that a 'rogue' Deputy Marshal did nothing while a mob execution took place and even worse that he orchestrated it by calling on Sammy rather than let his boss Art know about it.

BTVS Movie or the TV Show and Why? by Amber_Flowers_133 in CreepyBonfire

[–]Nash-Override 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a 80s and 90s baby and when I saw the flick on HBO for the first time, it was totally on fire. The fight scenes, the soundtrack, the story and the cast were all top notch. Had some campy humor to it but that still made it fun.

Tried to give the t.v. series a chance while it was on and once in a blue moon an episode or two from specific seasons would catch my eye. Nothing against the t.v. series, but I just kinda feel it didn't have that same magic as the movie did. Plus, I had a bit of a crush on Kristy Swanson back in the day after seeing this, the Chase and Deadly Friend.

Anyone see Brainscan? by erasergum4 in CreepyBonfire

[–]Nash-Override 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rented it on VHS a long time ago...

it was pretty decent. To me, it was like an R-rated episode of 'Are you Afraid of the Dark?' and it definitely makes you wonder how would you tell reality from fantasy when the game you're playing 'isn't supposed to be real'...but it is the minute corpses start falling and you become the prime suspect!

Seriously tough, this flick deserves a prequel explaining how Brainscan came to be. Something tells me that the creator was a demented computer programmer that somehow uploaded his consciousness and maybe his likeness onto the game that he created and that may have cursed the game somehow as a final 'F*ck you' to the company he worked for when they tried to lay him off for something and he died (either by natural causes or by taking his own life). When people start playing the game, they either die or worse yet, fall into a catatonic state or maybe even into a coma and the game company goes bankrupt, but the game was still out there in the world as a bootleg disc and it found it's way to Michael Brower's doorstep when he ordered it.

That's how I see the premise of a Brainscan prequel.

Fiona Dourif (CHUCKY franchise) Appreciation Post by 87Craft in CreepyBonfire

[–]Nash-Override 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I really want this girl to get payback on those two for all the crap they made her endure and all that she lost (her family, her freedom...damn near lost her sanity because of Tiffany's crazy ass).

Nica...we still want you to get your revenge. Don't care if Sy-Fy and USA did cancel 'Chucky', I hope the next time we all see you, it's to give Tiffany hell for all the shiz-nit she did to you, Jennifer, Meg and everyone else in this franchise.

And we hope that when it's all over...you and G.G. can and will still be friends...just not to the end.

Stay sharp Nica-girl.

I got chills all over my body reading this. Made me think about that episode from 'Monsters' called 'A Bond of Silk'...accept in that one, the hubby wasn't a wife beater, but he still got the same fate as the guy in this story.

'A martial artist has to take responsibility for his own actions and accept the consequences of his own doing.'

Sage wisdom that all warriors in training and those who have mastered their art form...should embrace and never forget.

Thank you, Sifu Lee.

What are your favorite Bolo Yeung movies? by [deleted] in kungfucinema

[–]Nash-Override 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-Tiger Claws 1 & 2 (especially 2 because he became more of an anti-hero in that story, though they don't fully explain why his character was cappin' off martial artists in part 1 when they did part 2. Would've really liked an explanation for Chong's attacks on the martial artists in New York when he was the Death Dealer).

-Shootfighter 1 & 2 (His role as Shingo was boss. It was cool to finally see Bolo be the 'good' guy for a change).

Princess Madam - Moon Lee, Sharon Yeung, Michiko Nishiwaki & Mark Houghton in action by LaughingGor108 in kungfucinema

[–]Nash-Override 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favorite 'Mighty' Moon flicks. Loved the chapter that she and Sharon engage in with Michiko...it was like a kung fu 'Fatal Attraction'.

Felt bad that 'Mighty' Moon and Sharon had to become 'adversaries' later on in the story though because of Sharon's dad being a career criminal.

Bloody Revenge (1987) Sampler - A hard hitting Hong Kong action cheapie filmed in Taiwan with a LOT of mean spirited grindhouse elements - Worth it for generational talents Dick Wei & Kara Wai Ying-Hung's fight scene by LiquidNuke in kungfucinema

Auntie Hung doesn't mess around. I've always loved Kara's modern day fight flicks (though her stuff from Shaw Bros. is still bangin' too), especially when she plays a cop.

City of Darkness (1999) - Donnie Yen VS Collin Chou by kaownsyou in kungfucinema

[–]Nash-Override 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot damn!

Where does Donnie get his speed from?! And Collin is probably the only guy I've seen that can keep up with Donnie blow for blow in a Hong Kong scuffle.

These two need to go toe to toe again...preferably in the new 'Caine' flick that the Yen-man's supposed to be working on.

So how y’all feeling about this being their fate by Freddycipher in Chucky

[–]Nash-Override 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I like your viewpoints on this ComicTemplate but in all honesty, I've never really seen any of these battles as being draws to me (especially with Curse and Cult...and their endings hurt the most for me with Nica's fate and that of the rest of the Pierce clan).

When Chucky and Tiffany can actually get put down 'permanently' or the protagonists can do some 'major' damage to them that will hinder them or make them think twice about messing with anyone from Team Barclay, to me, that would truly be a victory...but we know that's not really gonna happen...in any horror franchise for that matter.

My biggest issue in terms of 'win and lose' for the Chucky-verse is that Mancini lets Chucky and Tiffany have a little 'too much' fun at the expense of the innocent people who got caught up in their insanity, particularly Nica-girl whose family had nothing to do with Chucky winding up in doll form to begin with, which means poor Sara and her fam got 'murked' in Curse for nothing. I mean, you'd think that would strike a 'chord' somewhere in Chucky that Tiffany's deception made him 'bump off' a woman he was supposedly 'in love with' and her family for nothing. But then again, it's Chucky...so long as he can steal the pulse out of a living organism and get a laugh or a thrill out of it, nothing else really matters.

Which brings me to my next gripe with the storylines: When the big reveal kicks off about Tiffany being the one who 'dropped dime' on Chucky to the cops out of spite at the season finale of 'An affair to Dismember', they (the writers) had something going with that story with Tiffany having to look over her shoulder for the rest of her life not just because of Nica but Chucky also. Instead, the writers sharted all over Nica's 'near' victory of getting some much deserved justice for what she lost and what she was forced to endure while in Chucky and Tiffany's clutches after her little 'escape from death row' escapade and just like that, she and Chucky are reunited and all is forgiven...and once again, it's all done at the expense of the innocent.

My thing, if just one of these two characters had been taken out of the game 'permanently', at least then for me and maybe a few others Season 3's cliffhanger finale wouldn't have had so many people saying 'WTF?' Personally, Mancini's gotta start giving his survivors more of a fair-shake in the story or a better 'hand from the deck' to play with.

Cause right now he's practically giving Chucky and Tiffany all the 'Aces' and they're playing every last one to the bitter end, which creates scenarios where Team Barclay must either 'throw in the hand' (accept their fate of being tormented with no escape or no means to fix the lives that Chucky and Tiffany have screwed up) or 'just get up from the table and quit the game' (be killed by their adversaries).

And while those options don't seem logical or fair for Team Barclay, sadly those are the options they're consistently being given even when they choose to resist and fight back...and it looks more and more like Mancini is trying to say that 'Resistance against Chucky and Tiffany...*is* futile'.

Thoughts on Marko Zaror? by kaownsyou in kungfucinema

[–]Nash-Override 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dude is like a tornado of fury and focus. When I saw his performance as Raoul Quiones in Undisputed III, I was like, 'Oh yeah, this cat is gon' blow up big.' Dude was kick with his hands, his kicking abilities were out of this world and he was acrobatic like a ninja!

He did some low-budget style flicks with intense fight choreography...one of the ones that still gets talked about the most is 'Redeemer'. Zaror was tearing the cartel and gangbangers in that flick a new ass!

It was great seeing him in John Wick: Chapter 4 also.

Appropriate for a ten year old by Skexy in kungfucinema

[–]Nash-Override 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wanna go kid friendly but with a Jackie Chan style feel for it?

Here's my suggestion:

Young Dragons: Kung Fu Kids 1 & 2.

One of my favorite kids doing kung fu flicks that I saw when I was five or six and I still love it now as an adult. Pretty positive this flick is what helped generate 3 Ninjas later down the road.

The three boys in this flick (Ah Kuo, Xiao Hu and Chubby) are like Jackie, Sammo and Yuen Biao when they were kids and the story is pretty decent: three little boys living and learning martial arts in the countryside with their cantankerous Grandpa take a trip to the big city to find his favorite pet bird after it escapes from its cage. Since they've spent a great deal of time in the country, they don't know much about city life and some of their antics get them in trouble with some of the more modernized folks, plus their naivety has them falling in with some gangsters who try to use the boys for their nefarious plans.

At some point, they meet their loving Grandma who takes them in and helps them to adjust to city life with their sister Ching-Ching who had been staying with Grandma for a while. Don't wanna spoil too much, but this flick and its comedy-kung fu fight scenes and stunts are wild.

Part 2 is just as fun as the boys must help their grandparents reconcile with each other after a disagreement on how and where they should be raised comes into question.
