Baramui paiteo (2004)
Great Movie, Pure Love For It!
yeah I love this movie first for its great and powerful acting by the main actor playing Choi, and as well it makes me think that Choi is a real person and everything you see in that movie is all true and actually happened around WW2. The Story is very serious, and isn't like most martial arts movies mainly because its based on a true story, which gives it its serious feel. the fighting scenes in it are so different from other martial arts movies which i find good in this movie, i think if you're karate practitioner like me, u'll get a better understanding of the different fight system in this movie as some people didn't favour it because they looked at the movie as an actually fictional martial arts story, wen its actually based on a real man and real events, a man who could eliminate him opponent in one punch and karate chop a bulls horn off.
The actual man (Choi Baedel) or as his Japanese name which is Masutastu Oyama, Went through hard intense training on a mountain away from the public, all by himself for 4 years, but only stayed there for 18 months, going back to the public he fought the worlds greatest fighters some only defeating them in one single punch after there was no human opponent who could match up to his amazing fighting power, he started fighting bulls mainly defeating them by karate chopping the bulls horns, if I can remember Masutatsu Oyama fought 55 bulls in his life time, killing 11 of them and knocking the rest out. Because of his powerful karate chop/strike he was named the "God Hand" as well as the USA called him "The most toughest man in the word" This movie portrays his first part of success as the worlds toughest fighter greatest martial artist ever lived. I Say read about this man first then watch the movie to give You more more of an idea of what he has been through.
Jui kuen II (1994)
great work!
I've just seen this movie and i love it, i love his drunken master movies and they are great! i love the style he has formed and the action is just breath taking. Bits are dramatic and funny. i would like to add tho, that some of the goofs that i have read are completely wrong and i think you should have a more detailed look next time you judge things. For instance the scene where john kicks wong and the goof says that he changes sides when kicking wong, but in actual fact wong is still getting kicked on his left, the same left that john is striking at, it might of confused you tho because of the camera angle change but its clear to see. another was the goof writing about his burns. If you think real life, when you burn your hands the burns or blisters mainly wont appear on your hands at the exact moment your burnt, it takes a while for the wounds to show. but the person who wrote the goof, thinks they should be able to see the burns straight away. I'm just saying this to stop people thinking negative of this movie, coz its a great movie and it needs to be more noticed.
The Medallion (2003)
it was errrr OK
erm i didn't find it really satisfying, it wasn't a jackie chan movie, i think if he had more control over the film it would be a lot better. jackie is known for his out rages stunts, for exciting viewers, but in this movie he used a lot of wires, for imitating the superpowers is alright but before when he was just human some of the jumps looked really fake and was just boring and took away the excitement. Lee evans was great i love his humor. I think the scene that lost most of my interest was the scene where he was chasing Johann Myers's character and was jumping over those small tables and barriers and you can clearly see that wires were used for such easy jumps. I think jackie should stop being sucked into these Hollywood/English movies and start creating his own, which i believe hes doing now....for example...the myth (brilliant movie) a must see. i don't think its your fault Jackie, just try not to get sucked into those Hollywood movie areas, you deserve better credit for what you've done in the past!!
