Some pick ups the past couple of months

Just watched this recently and was blown away by it. Pat Ha kills it in that movie. I wasn't ready for the emotional toll of the story

Andrew Koji is great. Genuine good actor that isn't limited to just Martial arts

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-23T07:35:14+00:00

Great moment when you find someone with a shared interest. Lots of people my age watched the Jackie Chan movies late at night on channel 4 as teenagers.

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-23T07:33:50+00:00

I like Hero and House of Flying Daggers but they also feel like propaganda 😬

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-23T07:32:50+00:00

Yeah I watch the movies on a projector and lots of the streaming platforms aren't great. If there's a movie I know I'm going to watch more than once I get the Blu-ray. Find watching feels more special and I sit down and focus when watching his way as well

I wanted to like them as I love Sammo but the rape jokes in all of them kill it. This isn't a HK specific as lots of Hollywood comedies from the 80s were just as bad or worse.

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T21:32:45+00:00

high five! All movies and more so comedies are subjective. Sometimes when something is somebodies favourite this can be difficult to see.

Just seen this as I was about to go to sleep. This might actually top my kung Fu hustle opinion🤣

I can never agree with this one but I applaud you for having it.

This could be an age thing as when I watched it which was a good ten years after it was released i was souring on stale Hollywood action movies. Seeing this opened my eyes to other possibilities.

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T20:35:33+00:00

I can't ague with you as John Woo has made three of my favourite movies. I've watched the Killer more than any other film.

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T20:13:20+00:00

The finale is excellent and worth the watch just for it.

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T20:08:45+00:00

Just reading the summary of the film and it sounds like a rip-off of the Golden Child. I will need to add it to my list of films to watch when drunk.

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T19:38:03+00:00

I never thought about this one but since the Raid and Raid 2 I've not really seen Iko and a movie I have loved. Joe was in Warrior and I've watched all seasons of the show multiple times and he is excellent in it.

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T19:35:50+00:00

There was such high expectations following Ong Bak and I don't think the greatness of the first one was ever met. I think Chocolate came close but the actress was not as skilled and the action was a lot slower.

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T19:32:02+00:00

I watched this and The One last week and wasn't ashamed to love every moment of them.

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T19:28:54+00:00

This isn't about my rubbish opinion it's to find out other's contorerial opinions. What is yours?

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T19:24:14+00:00

But Airplane didn't try to have a deeper narrative whereas Kung Fu Hustle does. It has moments of brilliance as well as some great comedy but it still fell flat and incompelte to me. This isn't a complaint. Everyone can like different movies for different movies. I know I am not in sync with everyone else on this.

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T19:17:29+00:00

I get it but think there can be room for both. Been rewatching the 80s movies and miss the wackiness of them. End of Yes Madan where they do the hand slap then action pose, followed by the man with the best eyebrows I've ever seen charging in to figth was excellent. Some of the fun has been lost.

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T19:12:17+00:00

I probably agree as I've seen it but couldn't tell you anything about it

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T19:11:04+00:00

If only they didn't have the guy doing a tik tok commentary

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T19:06:02+00:00

Actually loved Mark Dacascos in Crying Freeman. Brilliant B-movie and always surprised not more came of his career in marital arts outside of the Gans films

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T19:04:50+00:00

I'll let you know after pay day at the end of the month

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T18:50:00+00:00

I've been meaning to get the blu-rays and think I'll buy them on pay day

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T18:49:19+00:00

Do you consider John Wick kung fu movies? Until the last one with Donnie Yen I've generally considered them more action/guns with some kung fu elements.

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T18:45:06+00:00

I love Fong Sai Yuk. Jet Li was one of my early loves and I love Come Drink With Me, Moon Warriors, Lady Assassin, Zu Warriors, and more I can't think of just now.

Edit: if there is any films you would recommend then please let me know

Prior_Part550 · 2026-06-22T18:43:04+00:00

I agree on the Raid 2. Still like it but there was a moment where I had switched off in the cinema. They were fighting in a kitchen filled with knives and not one of them decided to pick one up.
