many stars from HK found it hard to break in the US market despite their talent..Yen was no exception..But he got shafted though it seems..Jet Li came did his thing and became a huge huge star..

Donnie is living his indian summer..

his recommended movies from the d&b and earlier era..

in the line of duty 4
tiger cage 2
drunken tai chi
iron monkey (golden harvest)

crystal hunt
fist of fury tv series
evil dead vs
circus kids

:ohlawd:

Drunken Tai Chi was my sh*t!

SPL was fire although Flash Point probably received more publicity.

Both Tiger Cages are dope.

I watched Wu Xia at the cinema a few months back, another solid Donnie Yen joint.

Donnie Yen been the man of the moment for a hot minute now. Well deserved too

sucked they killed him off the way they did in tiger cage 1, part 2 is a completely different story, thats my sh1t tho, i liked the part where he had to swordfight the dude from jackie chans gorgeous, who knew robin shou (liu kang from og mortal kombat) could kick so much ass while in a three piece suit no less

stay away from "ballistic Kiss" at all costs :scusthov:

I got it. What's so bad about it?
:wow: iron monkey and ip man was my shyt. ip man 2 was kinda :patrice: tho.

yo if donnie yen, jet li, tony jaa, jackie chan, bolo yeung did some expendables type shyt....:whoo:

Can't forget about Chow Yun Fat. He may not be a martial artist, but he's had classics.

IP Man 2 is piff. Obviously not close to the first one, but both dealt with different storylines.

Just saw Iron Monkey. :whew: :ohlawd:

for starters he can't shoot action for shyt, everything is to dimly lit you can't see what's going on, there's a scene where two rival gangs get into a shootout at point blank range and no one gets hit, its one of those flicks where Donnie yen's character would rather shoot than fight, it tries to hard to look artsy so in the end it looks corny, there's supposed to be this slow mo sequence and Donnie is surrounded by these goons who are selling yet Donnie hasn't even hit them or he's kicked them that one would expect that they should fall down but there they are still standing and writhing in pain

i only seen ipman movies.. whenre should i start :patrice:
whats on netflix

Iron Monkey 1
14 Blades

Besides the IP's, those are the only ones I've seen. I'm watching SPL (Killzone) right now.

cant say id recommend that 14 blades tho cuz i thought it was doodoo :smh:.

:mindblown: :what:

14 Blades is almost, and maybe in some eyes, a classic. My only complaint was that chick who did that stupid thing with the robe that made dudes trip. :dwillhuh:
