First sneak in America- weird yet exciting

(in full disclosure, I wrote this when I was a dumb 17 year old, I remember enjoying the movie and recommend it, so that's all that counts): Tonight I saw this movie, a unusual Chinese action movie with a plot about a guy who has a sister and brothers and they get entangled up with fighting people who want to take over China. That is pretty much the basic plot that I could follow. The rest of the movie consists of action scenes that may or may not have been sliced off of the deleted footage of The Kentucky Fried Movie and the sound effects sound like bites from he Crippled Masters. Still, it is consistently entertaining in parts, even if it is unintentionally funny in a lot of parts (the fighters say they're move before they do it in street fighter Super Nintendo style, and the brothers have nicknames like scumbag and smart ass). Li is also pretty good, even if the whole sum of the movie might be a tad lowered. Biggest flaw though, at least for myself, was that not only was there no dubbing, but the Chinese sometimes didn't match the mouths! Oh well, it's worth it. B

Prequel to 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon'

I finished to be less sorry for the time spent on seeing this film than I anticipated. If you want to see where 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon' and some of the fight effects in the 'Matrix' series come from 'Swordsman 2' is certainly one of the original sources. It is not a bad film at all, there is good camera work all over, characters have structure and are different one from the other (even for an Asian film seen by European eyes) and all seems authentic - but I know little about the history of the area in the past times, unfortunately. It still looks naive and confusing sometimes, but compared to many of the Hollywood 'legends' recently, maybe this is not so bad either. 7/10 on my personal scale.

Nifty little martial arts film that has some great supernatural elements, with a good story and solid fight scenes!

This is a nifty little martial arts film, that has some great supernatural elements, with a good story and solid fight scenes!. All the characters are cool, and extremely likable, plus Jet Li is simply amazing in this!. It was cool to see Jet in a different type of film, and I thought the fight choreography was just great, plus it's very bloody and violent as well. It's very well made and written and I thought Brigitte Lin was quite menacing as the main villain, plus while I thought Yee Kwan Yan was a bit too OTT as the psycho Master Wu,but he still gave me the creeps especially near the end!. Jet and Michelle Reis had great chemistry together once more, and I thought Jet's obsession with his wine bottle was quite funny, however the dubbing was bad as usual. This deserves it's 7.4 rating, and I thought the ending was really cool, plus Rosamund Kwan had a great and very mysterious character!. The final fight is extremely good, and it had some cool emotional moments as well, plus I loved Wu's evil laugh!. This is a nifty little martial arts film that has some great supernatural elements, with a good story and solid fight scenes, I highly recommend this one!. The Direction is great. Siu-Tung Ching and Stanley Tong both do a great job here with very good camera work, excellent angles and keeping the film at a very fast pace. The Acting is very good!. Jet Li is amazing as always and is amazing here, he is extremely likable, funny, had a great sense of humor as always, had plenty of charisma, kicked that ass, it's just too bad his dubbing sucked, his chemistry with Reis was also on! (Jet Rules!!!!!). Brigitte Lin is great as the evil Asia, she was quite sexy and was wonderfully evil, she played the perfect villain, I loved her!. Michelle Reis is extremely cute, and does the same sort of thing worked so well in Legend 1&2, she's wonderfully perky and just plain adorable!. Rosamund Kwan is very classy and played a cool part here, I liked her lots. Yee Kwan Yan is a bit too OTT at times, but he still gave me the creeps, as he was quite menacing as Master Wu, I also loved his evil laugh!. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall I highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5 almost a (****).
