It's easily the best choreography work YWP has done in years.
It's at least as good as Fist of Legend, Drunken Master or Iron Monkey, if not BETTER.

thanx for the suggestion. could you suggest some good herb too? cuz you GOT to be high to think these fight scenes are better than Fist of Legend, Drunken Master, and Crouching Tiger, hehe.

most of Jackie Chan's Hong Kong stuff is better than this....i found those 2 fight scenes from youtube to be pretty average. not bad but not GREAT either. thanx anyway though...

You really have to watch the entire movie.

The last fight against Billy Chow's character is AMAZING.
And there are so many amazing fights, with lots of different styles (drunken, ninjitsu, weapons of every kind, 2 different styles of tai chi)

It just sucks that youtube only had those 2 :(

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon only had 3 good fights, and were nowhere near the level of YWP's best stuff (Zhang Zi Yi was extensively doubled, and I really don't mind doubling, it's just that it was so obvious) plus Chow Yun Fat, as cool as he is, CANNOT handle martial art scenes, or a sword for that matter.

Maybe they're not better, but IMO they are as good as anything in Fist of Legend or Iron Monkey (non-wired parts).

Don't get me wrong, I love those (ITLD4 and Tiger Cage 2 as well), it's just amazing that they could accomplish that kind of quality for a TV series (if you know chinese martial arts series, you'll know that most of the fights in them are incredibly undercranked, consist of mainly arm flailing and spinning, and lack any real martial arts choreography)

But to each his own :up:

That movie has been talked about for God know's how long now. I really wonder if it will see the light of day.

there've been movies that were in development hell longer, but did get made.

anyway, I have to hold my hopes.

Gammy knows how that feels, don't you? :D ;)

Im in your boat Gammy, this movie completely blew me away when I watched it. It is amazing.

I think that American bad guy is what ruins Tai Chi Fist. hes so cheesy, his shirt explodes off his body!

I really wish we had action shows as cool as the Master of Tai Chi in the U.S. At least we come up with great comedies like Curb your enthusiasm and Arrested Development ;)

Hehe cool, oh and what did you think of SPL?

Don't even talk to me about CyE....I saw one episode like 6 months ago and loved it, so that's more DVD sets to buy :(

Yeah I dont have HBO so there goes another 30 bucks on August 8 when Season 5 comes out. I hear its worth it though...

I looked through the thread though I know I should just know this so forgive me for asking, but whats SPL?

When I get enough posts to make an avatar I think its going to be Rat-Face.
 
Oh, Ive seen pictures of Sammo from this movie.

Jesus, those are some amazing reviews. Looks like I'll have to check it out.

Hey, have you seen Legend of a Fighter? I just got the HK Legends dvd but havent had the chance to watch it cause Ive been moving the past week. I should probably take care of that tonight..

IMO, that is THE best old school YWP choreography work. Yes, even a bit better than Drunk Mantis and Buddhist Fist.

The mixup of Japanese and Chinese styles is EXCELLENT. Fights are not too long, and exciting all the way to the end, I love it.

I have a crpapy VHS, and I certainly need the DVD.
