  -The Movies-

The Storm Riders

      A Dragonball Z Spin Off

     Director: Wai Keung Lau

     I first saw this movie in Europe about 3 years ago, and I was stunned. It's one of those movies that for some reason wasn't released in United States.

This movie has fantastic fight scenes like Dragonball Z , great cinematography, some of Hong Kongs biggest stars, and even a decent plot. It's easy to come up with comparisons to The Matrix and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but since this movie came out first, I think the directors of those other films borrowed a thing or two. If you love Kung fu, action, Anime (Dragonball Z), or epic stories, then this is the film for YOU.

 

Kung Pow! Enter the Fist

        * Director: Steve Oedekerk

One of the best films I have ever watched. Writer-director Steve Oedekerk uses digital trickery to make himself a costar in the 1976 Hong Kong action flick Tiger & Crane Fist. This movie is HILARIOUS! 80 minutes of almost-continuous laughter. Its worth the money. Neat special effects in a silly kung fu spoof.

 

 

 

 

The Iron Monkey

Way better than "Crouching Tiger" and more fun.  This is one of the best martial arts films ever. It's definitely on my list right behind other classics like Drunken Master 2 and Fist of Legend. Excellent. What's really great is the original Cantonese track is INTACT!They also didn't mess around with the music which was a blessing. I'm glad Miramax was smart enough not to hack up such a great movie with some of the best fight scenes ever.
