re: Favourite Martial Arts Film
probably could've posted in the Last Movie watched thread, chose to post here instead
quickie reviews:
The Grandmasters is good... some of Wong Kar-wai's arthouse effects adds a touch of well arthouse to the film, nice costumes, nice sets... rumored that WKW trimmed 4 hrs of film into commercial 130 mins Hong Kong release. This movie doesn't have Donnie Yen-type fight scenes, but fights are dramatic with a mix of cool moves (opening fight vs Cung Le in rain and at night is hard to see at times but dramatic). Fight choreographer is the great Yuen Woo-piing (Matrix, Kill Bill, Charlie's Angels, loads more). Zhang Ziyi IMO stole the show. Tony Leung Chiu-wai is solid and good.
Jackie Chan's CZ12 aka Chinese Zodiac - action-packed... cool story, but we can see Jackie's age (59 yrs old!) in some scenes, I doubt if it's really him (sacrilege of me to say!) doing the fighting/stunts. Forgot which Bond movie had skydiving action sequence, CZ12's skydiving sequence outdoes the Bond scene 10x over. In the movie, his character is simply "JC". In IMDB, his character is listed as "Asian Hawk". Revisiting his character, the asian Indiana Jones from earlier movies, Armor of God and Operation Condor. Good movie for JC fans.

re: Favourite Martial Arts Film
after seeing 'Miami Connection' (which was not set in nor does it take place in Miami and there's 0 about any "Connection" in the movie) I would have to say 'Miami Connection' is one of the greatest Martial Arts movies of ALL TIME as you can plainly see here....
GREATNESS on display

I'm a father of 3, train MA on and off mostly off concentrated on raising kids. I am but a beginner in MA, no belts. Jeet Kune Do Concepts philosophy and predominately into Dog Brothers MA (stickwork, some knifework, and emptyhands. Like boxing, but not as deeply knowledgeable about the fighters as you all are. My life is both a comedy and a drama. Don't watch that many of those types of movies. Watch movies to escape reality and hence love MA movies/action movies. Love making GIF's from movies/tv/MMA.
That's pretty much me in a nutshell.

re: Favourite Martial Arts Film
Last Saturday marked the 30th anniversary of the passing of the great and popular Shaw Brothers star, Alexander Fu Sheng.
Always gotta wonder what could've been had he been alive? Team up with Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan? My guess would be that BL would've not costarred with Fu in a movie. Wonder about Jackie though.
I made some animated GIF's from Fu's The Chinatown Kid. Gotta love sleeveless denim vests!
Here are 2 of the GIF's:
Love this one
3 more here:

More Alexander Fu Sheng GIF's to come.
Enjoy!

re: Favourite Martial Arts Film
That guy looks awesome but the 'special' effects leave a lot to be desired.

re: Favourite Martial Arts Film
....it's all part of the experience man. Kung Fu & crappy special effects simply go together!
