Gunbuster Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 To those who liked "Hero" or "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"; here is the next movie of HK goodness! My DVD ordered was delayed, so I watched the SVCD and I was blown away. This movie has an all star cast of Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Andy Lau. To simply describe this movie, it's an action packed version of Crouching Tiger with a touch of artistic of Hero. The special effects are awesome (Like the from the movie Robin Hood). Bonus: Zhang Ziyi is super hot in this movie Sony Pictures Classics has booked December 3 as the day for its North American release. http://www.sonypictures.com/classics/syndi..._Action_300.mov
Ladic Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 what do u mean the special effects are like the movie robin hood?
EXO Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Hey Gunbuster, if you're giong to F&S this weekend, bring the SVCD and let me borrow it... I wanna check it out.
Gunbuster Posted October 18, 2004 Author Posted October 18, 2004 You got it! Just remind me About the robin hood effect, it's when Kevin Costner releases his arrow and the camera follows it to the target.
do not disturb Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 is it just me or is that guy in the middle look like antonio banderas's long lost asian cousin?
EXO Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 is it just me or is that guy in the middle look like antonio banderas's long lost asian cousin? You know what Antonio Banderas' long lost asian cousin looks like?
bsu legato Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Hmm....could be interesting. I hope it isn't as overhyped as Hero was. That one was quite a disappointment.
ogami Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 This is the worst translation movie name ever... It doesn't even mean the orginial movie name.
Gunbuster Posted October 18, 2004 Author Posted October 18, 2004 It's all good The name sounds cool. At least its not called "Lovers", which is what it's called in Japan and Korea
eugimon Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 I'm looking forward to seeing this one in the theaters.

One of my wife's clients in China sent us a VCD... hope to get it soon.
mikeszekely Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 is it just me or is that guy in the middle look like antonio banderas's long lost asian cousin? It's not Antonio Banderas' long lost Asian cousin. That's the guy who played Samanosuke in Onimusha and Onimusha 3!
Gunbuster Posted October 19, 2004 Author Posted October 19, 2004 Yes, Takeshi is from the Onimusha game series from Capcom. He's also the guy from "the Returner". And December 3rd is the Theater release date. I can't wait to see this on the big screen. Watching this on the little screen does not do its justic
Smiley424 Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 neat, I'm always up for some good wuxia type movies. I'll keep my eye on this one.
Kamui 777 Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 I saw this today. It was quite good and way better than the boring Hero. Althought the deaths were predictable, the special effects of the daggers were cool.
EXO Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 The bamboo sequence was awesome... though I don't know if they can make spears of those bamboos that fast...
dr_vandermeer Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 The bamboo sequence was awesome... though I don't know if they can make spears of those bamboos that fast... You saw it? Give it an Exo rating.
