CrazyIvan 0 #3 July 11, 2005 I've seen several and they are GREAT, the photography, plot, etc is just superb, I've said this many times. Even the funny ones, check for example "Kung Fu Hustle", you'll like it. (it's a little offbeat but funny)__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites peacefuljeffrey 0 #8 July 12, 2005 I have to say that from a photography, cinematography, and directorial standpoint, this movie and the other recent Chinese martial arts movies (like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) kick the livin' shit out of ANY MODERN HOLLYWOOD MOVIE, PERIOD!

The story is so complex and beautiful, and the costumes and choreography rock. The only problem I had with it was when I saw it at Target and was going to buy it, it was 30$! So I will have to wait a little longer to own it as it's jump-season in the frozen north. You say, what's that sound coming out of the hole in the wood?
