Check out this comming attractions clip for the next Tsui Hark kung-fu fantasy film.

It looks pretty good.
It’s good to see asian m/a films with 21st century special effects and action sequences.
I just hope this whole venue isn’t played out by the time I finish my book.
action from start to finish, but only one actual “kung fu fight” and it was heavy on the wire work. The stoey is all over the place and like a hundred characters. The sfx were well done tho… i give it 6 out of 10, but these are just my opinions check it out for yourself…
The movie is not that good though: As stated before, the story is all over the place and the movie is so short that you don’t really care about the characters or anything.
IMHO, a very bad choice to release over here.
looks gay
Im waiting for the trailer to load…
please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly, please dont fly.
Oh ****! They flyed, and worse than in CTHD
This is an old movie ain’t it!?
I believe it’s a remake of an older one. For certain, I saw Zu, Warriors of the Magic Mountain years ago. But my Longhorn Tsui has apparently decided to do it again with better fx.
And dangit, what do you expect from a kungfu fantasy picture except flying heroes?
It’s not just a remake, it’s a true sequel, although quite independent (you do not need to see the first one).
They don’t just fly around, but also possess powers that would make Son Goku jealous…
The story line is intricate and epileptic, western viewers not accustomed to typical chinese wu xia pian beware, you might not swallow it!!!
There is only one “down to earth” sword scene, the rest is battles of super powers and magical weapons…
Zhang ZiYi plays a microscopic part in it…she is even heavily backed up by a double in the aformentionned sword fight (accckkkkk, I scold myself every time “DO NOT USE THE DVD SLOW-MO function, or your childhood illusions will jut fade”…like they did when I analyzed Jacky’s pa*****o room fight in Thunderbolt).
But overall I really enjoyed it, it’s a unique movie with great andbold ideas and an undeniable plastic beauty…
You don’t have to love it, but at least go see it if you don’t want to die ignorant 
And go see Shaolin soccer too (aka Kung Fu soccer in the US)
I agree with Crimson Phoenix. It’s a good movie if you like fantasy/fiction (wu xian pan). I really liked it. I feel so amazed when i see movies like this with all the effects: they’re really cool. Simple things amuse simple minds i guess 
Ekin Cheng seems ot be making a name for himself with these kinda movies (also “A Man Called Hero” and “Stormriders” which were great!).
They were all made at least 1 or 2 years ago though. It does take time for HK movies to make it this far West 
As for Shaolin Soccer —>

It’s still gay
what was the last good movie you saw then?
david
Magical powers! Cool weapons and flying!! YEAH!!
I love stuff like this. It tickles my imagination.
I actually like stormriders better than Zu… as for shaolin soccer…
I liked Dude where’s my car That’s straight
That explains :rolleyes:
everyones gonna be wondering why we keep going: Shaolin Soccer…
but really it’s hilarious! in a silly kinda way!
I liked Stormriders better than Zu: of course it has the lovely Kristy Yeung and Shu Qi (Shu Kei), which IMO are much better than Zhang Ziyi.
I liked seeing the numerous sword ‘duels’ in that movie - the cinematography was just amazing! Also in Zu when you see everyone flying between the different mountains/palaces - just spectacular…
On the VCD i saw it had an extra at the end with some behind the scenes footage showing how they created the effects. I was so amazed to see that so much of the movie was computer generated!

"Shu Qi (Shu Kei), which IMO are much better than Zhang Ziyi. "
I don’t know about that, but anyway…
Shaolin Soccer is funny… the scrimmage is the best… not a big cgi fan tho, so zu lost madd points on that…
