Re: Quentin Tarantino Presents "The Protector"

Speaking of Jet Li, I will be going to see fearless. That looks like classic Jet.

When does that come out?

Re: Quentin Tarantino Presents "The Protector"

Next Jet Li, next Bruce Lee. I think he's been called both. I just hope he doesn't make those horrible Hollywood movies like Jet Li did.

Tony Jaa has Charisma, Somthing Li lacked.. He fires me up & gets my blood going..li is more of a ho hum type experience..I think I like Donny Yin better then Li..

Re: Quentin Tarantino Presents "The Protector"

Yeah, but Hero was a movie that was made in Hong Kong, not Hollywood. Jet Li's American made movies have been pretty much terrible, although I have to admit I think Unleashed is pretty cool.

That's because Unleashed wasn't American made.

Re: Quentin Tarantino Presents "The Protector"

This doesn't have "Instant Replays" like Ong Bak, right?

They have a few. Not as serious as Ong Bak though.

I think it comes out September 22nd or somewhere around there.

Donnie Yens best movie was Iron monkey (I like him as well) but Jet has a number of really good movies Fist of Legend, The New Shao lin, Tai chi Master, Once upon a time in china 1,2 and 3 and Hero. Tony Jaa is fun to look at but he doesn't hit me like Jet when Jet was younger. With all that being said, neither one of them can Touch Bruce "The Little Dragon" Lee, now that was the man!!

Wow I've been trying to remember the name of that movie(Iron Monkey). I saw it awhile ago and I just remember it being a good movie but I haven't heard anyone talk about it.

What's up Jmood. Yeah, Iron Monkey is a all time classic! I remember When I first got it on 42nd street in Manhattan. They only had the english dub version and the kick was you couldn't read the damn english subtitles because the copies were all bootleg! You would get 3 movies for 25 dollars. This was before Jet or Donnie were known in the u.s. I have a copy of Iron Monkey in my Kung fu File. If you want another sleeper kung fu flick, check out Operation Scorpio(or the Scorpion King, the movie has two different names). Trust me you won't be dissappointed. Oyeah, and the Buddhist Fist, another sleeper that is off the hook.

Ah yeah. Iron Monkey. Now that's a classic indeed. Tarantino had brought Iron Monkey to America recently, but I heard a lot of scenes and stuff were missing in it. If you can find one, it's best to get the original Chinese version of IM with English subtitles and/or English dubbing.

Don't forget to include In the Line of Duty 4 and Tiger Cage 2 among Donnie Yen's best. In fact, I'll put that fight scene with him and Michael Woods in the former movie among the best I've seen in a martial arts movie.

And for one of my sleepers starring Yen, check out High Voltage.

Re: Quentin Tarantino Presents "The Protector"

I saw the movie and trying to figure out of I really liked it or not, The camera angles and the fuzz effect of the screen at times was interesting just like the storyline. The action was great and all the different ways of breaking bones was good. But if Tony Jaa wants to become the next big thing after Jet Li and Jackie Chan...he needs to actually do some talking and not just a few sentences throughout the whole movie and I think he is lacking charisma at this point in time also.

Re: Quentin Tarantino Presents "The Protector"

I don't know anything about those fighting styles, but was it just me or was the Ronaldinho looking dude more impressive? Even though he did get his *** handed to him in the end.

He actually turned down a part in Rush Hour 3 so he could direct and star in Ong Bak 2. Bad move imo, he is going to miss out on alot of exposure.

Lateef Crowder, the Capoeirista?

That style is so ****ing cool.

Its Capoeira and it is one of the most interesting martial arts out there. There was a movie that was based just off of that martial art and it was a good movie.
