DVD: Rongguang Yu ...     DVD:       Shanghai Noon / Shanghai Knights3 reviews Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson Buena Vista Home Entertainment, 2008 my opinion on DVD's I liked the quality of the DVD's and speed of shipment. It took only a fortnight to be delivered. Good job!             Jackie Chan - The Myth (2007)12 reviews Jackie Chan, Hee-seon Kim Sony Pictures, 2007 One of Jackie Chan's Better Releases, of Late. Lately I'm on a martial arts kick (no pun intended). Very much enjoyed the visual artistry of fare such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Curse of the Golden Flower, Hero, Iron Monkey and House of Flying Daggers. But, I've always been a fan of Jackie Chan's "modern" work. Can't wait to pick up The Forbidden Kingdom, too... I think this movie does a beautiful job blending the old-school and ...             Iron Monkey166 reviews Rongguang Yu, Donnie Yen Miramax, 2002 My favorite Martial Arts film - better than Tiger/Dragon! I buy a copy for every friend who says they like Martial Arts movies - and they are always blown away by this movie! This was the movie that set the stage for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. If you liked Tiger/Dragon you will love Iron Monkey!             The Storm Riders97 reviews Aaron Kwok, Ekin Cheng Tai Seng, 2001 Elegantly Poetic, Playfully Entertaining Action Film There is poetic elegance in most Chinese films and I am happy to state this film is no exception. It is one of the main reasons I love Chinese cinema. This film has a playfulness and creativity with an exaggeration of certain qualities and characteristics that seems to be the hallmark of Chinese films. It is whimsical, funny, and entertaining. The costumes are very colorful and artistically ...             Jet Li's The Enforcer44 reviews Collin Chou, Mary Ellen Dunbar Dimension, 2000 question.. does anyone know if this dvd is in chinese with english subtitles, or is it dubbed in english?             The Warrior74 reviews Woo-sung Jung, Sung-kee Ahn Sony Pictures, 2006 Engaging Historical Action Drama I had no expectations going into this film. My wife, who teaches Ancient History, got it and I wasn't enthusiastic about watching it. However, I was in for a surprise from the opening shot. The cinematography is excellent, the locations exotic, and the storyline is realistic and believable. All of the sub-plots detailing personal conflicts were true to character and followed logically, and ...             Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters23 reviews Kwok-Kwan Chan, Ken Chang (II) Sony Pictures, 2003 Many uninformed reviews here!!! This movie belongs to a genre of Hong Kong cinema that goes back at least to Sammo Hung's Encounters of a Spooky Kind. Many reviewers in this forum do not seem to know that there is an entire genre of kung fu/horror/comedy in Hong Kong cinema, and that in this genre a staple of such films is that "vampires" are essentially zombies that hop. I am not name calling, but merely pointing out that many ...             Divergence5 reviews Aaron Kwok, Ekin Cheng Tartan Video, 2007 a very good movie actually this is an amazingly good movie patched and intertwined with a complicated die-hard tormenting romance, helpless detective works, betrayals, attorney turned killer, hitman tried to do some good, memory loss...aaron kwok proved himself a very talented actor, daniel wu was also very good, the weak actor and role in this movie, as usual, was ekin cheng, always with cardboard rigid acting, and ning ...             Shanghai Noon157 reviews Rafael Baez, Xander R. Berkeley Walt Disney Video, 2000 Shanghai Noon The DVD was a gift for my sister and the first DVD sent to her was defective. Half way through playing, it stopped and went back to the beginning. I contacted Amazon and the DVD was replaced free of charge. I was very very pleased with how the whole thing was handled. Amazon even reimbursed me for the shipping I paid to return the first DVD. The second DVD plays fine and my sister is very ...             Supercop 258 reviews Michelle Yeoh, Rongguang Yu Dimension, 1999 Great Movie! Horrible subtitles. Nevertheless, a must see!!! This movie has everything from love/romance to superstition and myth.It gives the viewers a Philosophical message as well.For example, Wu Ma the Taoist in the movie, is trying to seek immortality and chants in the movie,very interesting(dont want to tell the whole story).The special effects are also done very well.Lesile Cheung and Wu Ma are excellent and subperb; they are great actors and their ...             Shanghai Noon [Region 2]157 reviews Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson Shanghai Noon The DVD was a gift for my sister and the first DVD sent to her was defective.

"The Lover of the Last Empress" is not a Chinese action movie. It's a drama chronicling the rise of Tzu Hsi from imperial concubine to Empress. There's a lot of sexual content. But the story is of a concubine whose role was to be a sexual object of the emperor. Tsu Hsi was ...             Holy Robe of Shaolin Temple8 reviews Hsu Hsiang Dong, Rongguang Yu Crash Cinema Media, 2002 Great Martial Arts film I watched this film about 5 times on vhs loved it so much that I wanted to own it on dvd for my collection this film is good in every aspect.

She is at her highest-flying, gravity-defying best here as Asia the Invincible, a kung fu master who'd obtained the powers of the Sacred Scroll and changed from a man into a woman as a result. Here, four months after ...             From Beijing with Love18 reviews Pauline Chan, Joe Cheng Tai Seng, 2001 A funny and touching action film This is one of my favorite Stephen Chow movies. Some say this film marks a change in Stephen Chow's style. His prior comedies were really funny but also mostly tongue-in-cheek, where rarely did Chow's characters display any sincerity, and his tears were always fake. But this movie is different. While still gut-bustingly funny, it actually shows real emotions. An example is the bullet extraction ...             Man Wanted5 reviews Eileen Tung, Kar-Ying Law Image Entertainment, 1999 Explosive Hong Kong Action Flick This movie between a crime boss and an undercover cop, although not an uncommon theme in many Hong Kong action flicks, is unique in many ways. First, awesome acting by the major characters (Simon Yam, as the undercover cop; Yu Rong-Guang, as the crime boss; and Christy Cheung, as the girl in between). Secondly, the well-proportioned combination platter of explosive action, ...              search for DVDs beijing, besiegers, chan, deadend, divergence, east, empress, enforcer, from, holy, hunters, invasion, jackie, knights, love, lover, monkey, myth, noon, region, riders, shanghai, shaolin, storm, supercop, swordsman, temple, vampire, wanted, warrior DVD:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
