looks interesting. a lil flashy, a lil teeny style. but looks like it should be entertaining.

hopefully its just subbed for us english speakers

i'm just kidding i'm friends with a number of his students and his daughter angela is freaking hot. i wonder if he's going to do some fighting in this his bad knee and all i remember him having surgery on it. my friend reiko hata(who was actually in a few articles in kfm) was the double for the lead girl. so i heard about this film a while ago

I've only exchanged some emails with Angela. We worked with her to get an article on this up in our 2007 July/August issue (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=711): Kung Fu Thrives in the Kingdom of Fairy Tales: Xian Gao Ushers Danish Kung Fu Craze By Rose Saint-Stephen and Angela Gao. I've exchanged some emails with Reiko too, but never met her. She seems really nice.

You should make that your sig quote, Doug. ;)

yeah i heard about it from reiko when she was in the U.S in the early part of the year. and it sounded interesting,one day i'm gonna make a list of all the new martial arts films i'm told about.:cool: yeah and i recant what i said angela is not really hot as she is super cute, and really really nice, she looks like a cabage patch doll. the film sounds like bend it like beckham meets girlfight

It would have to be a rolling list. Personally, I like to give each film its own thread. It gives it a chance to breath and sits better in the archives. Also it gives us a place to link if we do an e-zine review. But I'm always eager for the advanced buzz. That's one of the reasons I like this particular forum so much.

Soooooo, why don't you start a thread on what you know about The Rebel? I've been hearing a lot of good buzz on that one. I'd start it myself, but I don't have anything to say about it yet.

everytime i try to talk about a film that doesn't really have any buzz it always fizzles out so i just wait until the film starts getting known.
