They should a public notice in the beginning:
“Listen up, kids. Don’t try jumping on your head at home. especially if the floor is linoleum-preparated, or if you’ve had too many beers and have to show off to your friends and girlzz”
That could’ve saved me from that operation..
He he good one!
They must make more Gongfu movies like that, where they don’t give a rat’s ass about realism and would the westerners believe this… Yea, just go buck wild!!
I’m not fan of the MOST unrealistic things in these movies, like flying, or shooting fireballs out of the palms. CTHD and Kung fu Cult-Master springs to mind..
also: in one of the Last Hero in China movies (how many are there?:eek: :D) there’s the big caterpillar vs. chicken style scene.. how Fugging weird can a fightscene be!:rolleyes:
I liked the fightscene afterwards though, the one with the eagle-claw guy.
Mmm, haven’t seen that one
Yea, caterpillar style?? Ok, don’t think that’s on my “to-learn-list” Though I’ve read in a magazine once(either Kungfu Qigong or inside Kungfu) about all the known animal styles, there were some very odd ones, wonder if anyone nowadays still teaches some of those unusual ones,(not Tiger or crane) but like dog or some like that.
there was a thread about dog boxing about a week ago on the general kf forum.. Di Tang Chuan, I think it was called.
Interesting, Will look into it
You’re not supposed to look like a dog in the style, it’s also called “ground-boxing”, it’s basically about tumbling around on the ground with kicks to opponents legs, Ukemi-style rolling, and some break-dance like moves. looks cool;)
Cool
We’ve done some similar stuff like that in externals a while back, wonder if it could be from that style, Its from some sort of shaolin…
Thanx fot the info:D
If it’s a form with ONLY these moves, then I’m a 100% sure it’s Di Tang Chuan
her’s a link to the thread:
di tang
correction - chicken vs caterpillar was not Once Upon a Time in China part whatever… it was a spin-off parody type thing… Last Hero in China… a Dog Boxing style is in a Yu Rong Guang movie… Deadend of the Besiegers…
IMO
Shaolin Temple - it rebuilt the modern Shaolin Temple and redefined the martial arts, not only in the movies, but in the world.
OUATIC2 - it added a new gesture, beggar’s hand, to the vocabulary of martial arts poses (OK, well maybe that was OUATIC1 but for some reason, I like 2 better.)
Hero - I’ve only since this twice (the other’s I’ve seen dozens of times) but it’s quickly becoming one of my all time favorites. The philosophical message is dead on.
Suntzu.. I did’nt say it was a “once upon..” movie, I did say it was in last hero in china. Weird scene anyway, even if it was in a comedy movie.:o 
I’d have to agree with Gene on Shaolin Temple, it is in my top 5 and helped the Temple out…
But Di Tang Chuan IS similar to Dog Boxing, right?
I personally think Fong Sai Yuk was a weird movie. I did’nt like the fight scenes.
Is FSY based on a real person, like in the Wong Fei Hung-based movies? I heard that somewhere.
Fist of Legend is not only my fav Jet Li movie, but my fav Martial Art movie of alltime. It’s what made me a Jet Li fan.
Two classic scenes, going to the dojo, and beating the hell out everone there.(especially when he throws the last student by his nuts)
Beating General Fujita with his belt!
I was watching the movie yesterday as a matter of fact, showing off the movie to my cousin, who had never seen it. He thought it was one of the best coreographed movies he had seen.
Kiss of the Dragon was very good too, I thought. Lethal Weapon 4 of course, but I wouldn’t consider it a Jet Li movie. Romeo must Die wasn’t half bad. It wasn’t his best Martial Arts movie, but overall it was a good movie.
I like the One, because it was cool watching Bagua and Hsing- Yi.
Cradle to the Grave was the worst Jet Li movie. It wasn’t Jet’s fault, his scene’s were very good. And Tom Arnold was very funny. but the rest of the cast sucked (except the two chicks were hot) Demascos was ok, I just thought exiting an already exploded and crashed helicopter without a scratch was kinda hoaky. There was the other black comedian (don’t know his name) and he was very funny too, I think he and Tom stole the show. But there was some very cheesey lines used, and some real bad acting.
The UFC scene was kinda cool.
I’d have to agree with Gene on Shaolin Temple, it is in my top 5 and helped the Temple out…
Word on Shaolin Temple.
Is FSY based on a real person, like in the Wong Fei Hung-based movies? I heard that somewhere
Yeah, and I think Pak Mei eventually killed him. Check the Southern Forum for more info on all the other guys Pak Mei beat down.
Fong Sai Yuk is up there too…
That scene in FSY where he fights that woman while they jump on people’s heads was kinda, uuh, stupid.
I’s like to see more of Jet’s early works, though.
Jet Li was in a Hong Kong movie called “Deadly China Hero”, I swear it is the most over the top martial arts film I have ever seen. He does a lot of room clearing fighting and the fighting rarely takes a break. I found a copy for like $7 at K-Mart, lol.
