Yes, Called "Executioners"

i goots see that one next.

I saw that on STARZ! Action channel. I thought Maggie was cool in that movie. I saw the Excecutioners too. I won't give it away but there is a surprise at the end.

Executioners was already out on Hire, so i got Moon warriors.

1994, directed by Samo Hung
Stars andy Lau, Anita Nui, maggie cheung and kenny bee ( i have no-idea which character kenny bee was - i'll have to do some reading up ).

I was surprized, to see "willy' the orca!!!!!!!!!!!!

some of the most aggressively acrobatic combat scenes eva!

inspires................
I definately have to learn to do cartwheels wielding a sword i think.

loved the movie, just......such a tragic ending......:crying:

New Zealandese for “rented?” Hehehehee

In preqeul title " Executioners" Michelle Yeoh die in the movie. I watched that movie long time ago and I have it on DVD too.

finally got to see executioners.
a very popular movie it seems, when i returned it, it had already been booked in advance for this coming week.

after seeing this movie, i think M16 assualt rifles should be included in the list of official martial arts weaponery

What surprized me the most was when Maggie pulled out a fish!:laugh:

Michelle Yeoh was badly hurt in that movie, when the bad guy hit her spine and hit the sensitive part of her old wound that she suffer in Ah,kam movie!..... There is an articles about that scence, that she vomit and send to the hospital, Back, then our conclusion in that movie as her movie goers, she suffer to her back spine in jury again that's why they kill her characters...But no one really knows why for the very first time Michelle Yeoh was killed in the movie... A lot of her fans was sad when they come out from the movie theater, and I'm one of those sad fans....

I was talking about MY's death in the movie. I didn't want to give it away to people who haven't seen it.(I don't like when people do that:nono: )

i think k i'll have to see M Y's Wing Chun.
I have used Butterfly swords ( bart jarm dao ) in my routines for years....( they are wonderful to use after half an hour of broadsword exercises )
and never seen the movie which shows the best use of them to date.

it took me awhile to convince the local video store to stock these, now they are so hard to hire because thier uplift is pre-ordered weeks ahead.

Gaz, I recommended it to watch Wing Chun... It's a good movie... I can't the Primiere night of the " Silver Hawk "

excellent recommendation Cassandra
what a fun adapation and variation of the original story line - extremely funny and.entertaining.

Michelle protrays this so well and convincing with ( even thou M Y says she is not a kung fu exponent ) genuine wing Chun style foot work and principal moves ( she is awesome with butterfly swords )

i'll definately watch this one again
but i will never think of soya bean curd the same

Z could be considered a modern day Wing Chun,
as Wing chun was considered a rare beauty,
just as Ziyi is today :love:

I remember first i ever saw this movie i love it so much.

gaz if you say this is so to emply Ziyi could be re-encarnate of wing chun If history repeat then this is of fact from original story
leung bok cho, as a merchant, as modern could be a banker
was master of "southern shaolin style kung fu".

does this mean:confused: , Ziyi would let me:laugh: beat her at kung fu tornament to win her hand in marriage,:clap::love: then beat the crap outta me three years later.:sigh:

this brings many more questions:ohman: than answers, you know.:hug:

That would be great if Zhang Ziyi do the modern Wing Chun movie.... Back to my nest ... Touch messages board to tell the Michelle Yeohs' fans, that it is true that I got a letter and pictures to Michelle Yeoh herself..... Hoping that Jane put the pictures as soon in the Gallery in MYOFC....

just saw Tomorrow never dies.
M-Y was great!

it was also good to see british warships ( still have the ole gunnery skills slick as pizza delivery aye lads ) , a german ( bmw 750 - C Y F-mobile ) verison of nightrider.

I wonder if she did all her own stunts ( we all know she could if she chose to )

Warships are to the British, as the cavalry are to the Americans:D

i must say ole boy

"send in the destroyers" sounds more threatening than
"send in the horses "

in the Marines.

They are not that smart...but they kick ass. High-tek now, too. Kill ‘em all.

On occasion, we do send in the cavalry, however, they now mount 70 ton M1A2 Abram tanks that travel in packs; go 45 MPH for 300 miles and never take "no" for an answer.

i managed to watch james and the giant peach.
what a bizarre movie :crazy: fun thou

one day

Z & the Giant apple:laugh: :bigwink:

i managed to buy a yu shu lien and a li mu bai
boxed/packaged from one of the comic shops last week.
old stock apparently.
i had to stand in a line of people, every one else buying the "hell raiser" figures, each person felt compelled to compare their pin head doll to me, which i guess wasn't surprizing in the fact i was wearing all black and must have looked pasty with the slight flu i carried.

on observation of my "loot" much discussion was had over what a great movie CTHD was, even for the goths and punkrockers.

however when the subject of the cuteone came up, a guy who looked like a hobbit perked up, with "imagine if pin head and huli were in a movie together"..............
all i could think of then is "putting two and two together, i like this idea hmmmmmmmmm, but maybe someone should throw this option in the 2046 script change possibilites.............yeahhhh

when looking at these works of art
i feel a fear of ever opening the packaging

what do i do ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

gaz,
You should have bought 2 of each figures..

You can set one as a collectors item... then you can play with the other dolls..
You can create scene between the Jen action figure and a Uruk hai action figure.. maybe you can do what I do... get those 2 action figure and beat up my cousin's barbie and ken dolls. :D

i have been watching episodes of "Asian cinema" on one of the 'sky" documentary programs
It helps western audiences understand the culture of this cinema - including me.

My biggest surprise was the influence the Chinese choreographers had from Japanese martial arts.............
It was interesting also to see the gradual deployment of women............as fighters

i had never noticed before the touchy touch aspect of the men ( sort of dodgy )in the earlier movies
and the secondment of women, treated like a pet or drinking buddy.

the development of fight scenes, and the amount of work that goes into creating a flowing sequence
even harder to make it a meaningful and entertaining presentations.

makes me appreciate yimou's style alot more too

and the cuteone....................Ziyi..................i s truly the most beautiful woman that has ever walked this earth.
( i knew this already, each time.............is just like the first moment of awareness )

Yap! agree with you Gaz.... Zhang Ziyi captured my eyes too when I watched her in CTHD, if there is a time now that Michelle Yeoh give up her throne as a Action Herione star... Ziyi deserve to call that Title... I been watching Michelle Yeoh's for 17 yrs. now I been watching Zhang Ziyi for almost 4 yrs....
