Movies Thread
 

forgot which thread had the tangent about HK/Chinese action movies

tonight's flick in the series titled "shit you should fucking watch" is

City on Fire (1987 film)

is a 1987 Hong Kong action film[1] directed by Ringo Lam. It stars Chow Yun-fat, Danny Lee, and Sun Yueh. Following A Better Tomorrow (1986), City on Fire helped establish Chow's popularity as an action star in Asia and to a lesser degree North America.

I can't remember anything about that one, but I have it rated as 6/10 (same for A Better Tomorrow). The Lunatics from 1986 was more interesting for me.

My biggest Hong Kong recommendation is Comrades: Almost a Love Story

Looks cool

I am not going to be posting much until the 30-40,000 guest bots bogging the forum down get dealt with, no rush tho, I understand mods are volunteers with lives

But I had wanted to mention for a couple days now that I just saw this announcement on FB, and was fairly disappointed

I still have yet to play Elden Ring but I really enjoyed hearing about this char and especially how incredibly OP she is, being that she has never lost until you face her. My cousin is pretty good at video games and he gave up on beating her because he didn’t want to have to re-roll or use a cheesy strat to win. Which to me speaks a lot about how strong of a boss she is

And the idea of Sydney with her huge rocking tits trying to play the most powerful entity in the game, combat wise, is silly. There is NO WAY she will be able to do convincing combat or sword choreography. I was never impressed with Scarlet Johannesburg’s portrayal of black widow either

They need to get an actress on par with those girls from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon that can actually do convincing fight choreography

Great movie that I don't think many people have seen is Sonatine:

w/ Beat Takeshi

>Comrades: Almost a Love Story
idk if my soul can handle a HK Romance right now but it looks good

yeah Ive given up on new movies until i can do the casting choices myself with AI, like un-fucking ironically.

like here's a teaser for a Blade Runner adaptation a dude is making, we're getting there.


saw this one suggested in my cold war FB grp, Brando movie ive never even heard of.

Morituri 1965

i need to watch this one for sure, and more of his stuff. i literally only know him as the guy from MxC and Sonatine from the gif of him on a beach with a revolver lol

Aye def worth a viewing

I want to stomp the gutts out of modern kids for not appreciating this shit.

An actress that is actually good at Martial arts on and off screen <3
