[Shaolinlueb]

comics one puts out some good stuff too. the chinese comics are a lot different from the japanese ones.

OK, this seems to be the movie that was named danny the dog on Jet's website.

Could somebody possibly post a link that is WMV or MPEG? I have security issues that prevent me from downloading QuickTime.

With Jet Li movies, it always comes down to the choreographer. He works best with Yuen Woo Ping. Corey Yuen's choreography is not as good.

in at least three films he did it was the writer who concieved the action and the coreographers had trouble duplicating it without wires.

tug: your admin should be able to help you find a comparable player. mine reads qt without difficulty, of course i don't know its name either....

YuanZhideDiZhen,

Corey Yuen also choreograpghed Black Mask. It was a great idea that could have been a classic with better choreography. So far, Yuen WooPing is number one.

woah gene. i was only pulling your leg there.

Sitting directly between Design Sifu and me are literally hundreds of UNLEASHED promotional posters and postcards. There are so many that I can only see DS's shifty eyebrows, when I can usually see down to his belt (not that I'm looking there). We are giving these away through Tiger Claw and MartialArtsMart. To get one through Tiger Claw, go to a Tiger Claw sponsored event and ask at the table (we just got these in today so it'll take hold more next weekend than this weekend.) To get one through MartialArtsMart.com, order something from MartialArtsMart.com that can also fit a poster and we'll send it to you.
It'll be only while supply lasts.

More to come...

I predict this movie will blow.

It's basically a rip-off of Conan the Barbarian, which is a masterpiece of modern cinema.

im gonna go watch the sneak showing tonight. Ill post tomorrow maybe.

[word of honor]

i saw unleashed a while back at the sf asian american film festival and i'm really looking forward to seeing it again. i have some issues with the script but whatever. wow those first few minutes took my breadth away, the cinematography, editing, acting, freak fighting. then the drama opens up and really works too. i tell you jet li really nailed the danny character, he totally disappeared inside it. it is a good ride that is for sure. YES imo best western one he's done yet

this one will rock too. i hear its pretty violent and raw. which is what i love.

wait, didnt one of those guys play in the mario brothers movie?

What makes this film very interesting is Morgan Freeman, coming in hot after his recent Academy award. I like Bob Hoskins too, mostly for Roger Rabbit and Brazil, but he was also oscar nominated. So it's quite a step up from rap stars, and that's grand progress for martial arts films. It might even be considered 'A' grade cinema, like Hero, Crouching Tiger, and House of Flying Daggers. But unlike those films, which were more arty and stylized in the fight scenes, Unleashed looks gritty. Coming in so close on the heels of Kung Fu Hustle, both films could really open up some doors for the kung fu movie genre and that's really exciting. I just hope that it doesn't all get eclipsed by Star Wars (but did I catch Obi Wan using a jianshou with his light saber?)
