"I liked Dude where’s my car 
That’s straight "
ROFL that movie is like a walking endorsement for anything by Harvey Firestein
Ahh, CTHD was ok, but I still thought the story was lame. I’m not a huge fan of wuxia, the last wuxia flick I really enjoyed was “Comet, Butterfly, Sword” with Michelle Yeoh. If this movie has more flying and less story than CTHD, I’m renting “Dude,”
I really liked Dude, Where’s My Car? although I hesitate to call it a good movie. It is, however, the most Dude, Where’s My Car? movie I have ever seen. That’s worth something, right there.
How can anyone dislike a movie where Sammo Hung fights back an evil demon with his prehensile eyebrows? That just doesn’t make any sense to me.
>> I don’t know about that, but anyway…
don’t worry Suntzu, they all come pretty close if u ask me
I’ve just seen more movies with Shu Qi in, than Zhang Ziyi, that’s all…
Chang Style: that Sammo Hung reference made me ROTFL!
I borrow VCD’s from my mates but sometimes there’s no subtitles 
Although i can understand a little Cantonese, not enough for a movie!
As for Shaolin Soccer, it was all in Mandarin - no hope of understanding any of that!
Dude where’s my Car was pretty crazy 2!
I think i’m gonna have to go to the movies pretty soon…

I believe the Germans would call it “ubber hokey”.

No and then!
No. And theee…no that’s it. This could have been turned into a record breaking thread for number of posts had that nonsense gone on any longer!
Zu
Zu premiered in HK on August 9, 2001, the first movie was in 1983. The first movie was groundbreaking, the first in the HK fant-asia wave, really. I think the new Zu is pretty groundbreaking too, but I would classify it as high fant-asia, not really a kungfu flick despite a lot of sword waving. It’s a lot of eye-candy and I recommend turning off the sound and putting on your favorite hardcore music. The plot isn’t as significant as the visuals.
I really didn’t care for Stormriders, but after seeing Zu and Shaolin Soccer, I understand it’s significance to the genre.
We carried Zu at MartialArtsMart.com - it was advertised in our Mar/Apr 2002 issue. It sold out fast and now, since Miramax bought it, we cannot distribute anymore. We still have Shaolin Soccer but I hear Miramax has bought that too so we probably won’t have it for long…

LOL Why does that sound familiar..? Hmmm
(check out the big thread about nothing)
I loved the first Zu and lilked this one! (Then again I grew up primarily in asia and find this NORMAL!!) Being that I have TONS of Asian Cinema (I could put ANY video store out of business! But bear in mind I have been collecting and watching this stuff since I was a kid.) Most Asian cinema takes some getting used too. I just say sit back and enjoy. Don’t think too much and take it all in.
BTW “Dude, Where’s My Car?” was hilarious a sure cure for long boring deployments to "Peace Keeping "Missions (but the vist from Selma Hiyak (sp?) and the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders did WONDERS for moral)
I loved the first one. Anyone who lives in Boston should check out Video Oasis in Cambridge. They have all the old and new kung fu/ HK stuff. Like 1000 titles or some ****
Storm Riders? I have to get it! Thanks for the tip !
Shaolin Soccer… just excellent!
Complete kung-fu overkill !!
That’s REAL kung-fu, I tell you!!
“Sweet! What does mine say?”
“Dude! What about mine?”
“Sweeeeet… what does MINE say???”
