I could sit and watch Yuen Bao all day

Seriously. Just seeing a human body perform at that level of flawless acrobatics in martial arts is a fucking joy to watch

For those of you unfamiliar, he's the one in the blue jeans and turtleneck starting in at ~ 1:04. (And yes, the cigar smoking mofo is Fung Sam from The Iceman Cometh) He's one of the most underrated martial arts movie stars ever, IMO. I love him to bits :D

And no, he's doesn't use wires. He's just that good :D

what jackie chan movie is that first one? I don't recognize it...but based on the scene you linked, I think I need to see it!

you've hit on one of my other serious passions :) fandoms. whatever. someday I'm going to put together a dvd for my friends, containing the greatest and worst jackie chan movies ever made. the greatest is of course Legend of Drunken Master. The worst?

Fantasy Mission Force.

Do yourself a favor. Bring some friends over. Get everybody drinking and giggling. And watch it.

It won't make any fucking sense.

It doesn't need to.

It is so bad, it's awesome.

er I guess I could just follow the youtube link. Dragons Forever, eh? I'll have to look it up.

OH! Try and find the US dubb! The voices are fucking crack of the FINEST KIND.

I shall take your recommendation to heart :) thank you!

hmm, B&N doesn't even list either of those movies in their database.

Not sure where else to look. I shall look nonetheless!

balaun at gmail dot com :) I've started to use the built in google chat, anyway.

For many years, I went without using IM clients. Kind of swore them off.

oh I fucking LOVE my asian cinema. And not just the martial arts ones. Its a huge bonus of living so close to Asia, and having such a large asian population - HONG KONG MOVIES CHEAP AS HELL. *maniacal laughter*

I have no desire to watch Fantasy Mission force again. Although Seven Lucky Stars was pretty bleh as well. The scene in the first one is from Dragons Forever - Jackie, Yuen and Samo! Long been a fave of moonmip and myself, even if we do end up screaming FUNG SAM at the screen.

Have you ever seen Hero from beyond the boundary of time? Most people tend to pan it, but I love my cheese, so it's firmly embedded in my DVD collection...

I tend to raid the used book/cd/dvd shop in town every couple months, which is where I found Fantasy Mission Force.

I bought a copy of...damn what is it...the one where Jackie crossdresses as Chun Li. Still haven't watched it yet, other than that one clip I saw on youtube.

I have also not seen Hero from beyond... I love my cheese too :) Big B-movie fan. John Carpenter, Sam Raimi (of course). I'm starting in on Ed Wood, we'll see if I can add him to my list of enjoyed crappy movie directors.

Also a Kurosawa fan, but that's a whole different ballgame.
