    Champions....

    Hey Gene,

    Not sure if you've seen this I did a check & I couldn't find it on the forum unless I missed it or it's under a diffrent name. I just wanted to give the guy's on the forum a heads up on this movie. It takes place in 1936 when China made it's very first mark in the Olympic games. 11 martial arts performers are sent to participate in the berlin Oylmpic games. Even though the martial arts was not a competitive event, they stunned the audience and created a kung fu frenzy in Europe. there was some really good kung fu Northern Mantis, Northern Eagles Claw & Tai Chi theres some wire work in the movie but and all and it was enjoyable,worth checking out....

    I can't wait to see this. It has Diky Cheung, Rongguang Yu and Xie Miao, Jet Li's kid from The Enforcer and New Legend of Shaolin.

    I've only seen a few minutes of the action, but it hit the spot for me. More so than any movie has for awhile. Nice to see the oldschool shapes back again. The only place I get to see shapes these days is in TV shows, mostly with ****y Cheung. Now if they could just get rid of those wires. Luckily it doesn't look like they overdid it in this movie, though it would be way better without the wires.

    Hey Ray

    Thanks for the call, great to talk. Remember sir I am in Tennessee, aint no good CMA movie releases here. I will ask my student Ms. Lin to look for this next time she goes back home to NYC. Can you tell us more about Champions? Sounds great!

    Go Mets!

    Picked up the movie last night . haven't watched it yet though. you can try doing a search on the actor's names.

    They are ****y Cheung, Tze Miu, Priscilla Wong and Debbie Goh. The DVD distributor is Sun Jian media corporation. Hope this helps.
