I thought Versus was ok but it was too long, I got a bit bored and that. I much prefered Wild Zero, now that's a great zombie movie. Thing is, now I'm older I don't watch movies so much cos I get antsy and can't concentrate if the movie's too long.

have not seen this one, sounds good.

Want to try and find it, any idea who is the director?

For the record, my favourite zombie flick is: "zombie flesh-eaters" especially the uncut release where the undersea zombie molests the girl!!!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wild-Zero-Guita ... 666&sr=8-1

Search around though, it must be available cheaper

Fookin hell £20

think I might have to check my pal in hong kong for that one.

the cover looks great though!!!!!

zombie flicks is the only part of the horror genre I really bother with..

gotta love those poor un-dead bastards!!!! I always hope the voodoo man will come back at some point and gently help them back into the graves

the introduction to 'the mystery of chess boxing' is by far and away the best of its genre in my opinion.
i collect the shaw brothers works mainly tho.

oh man, walking dead is just amazing, in spain is published oon TPB's we have 5 at the moment. big writer. very good comic-book robert kirkman knows how to do things, i enjoy a lot Irredimeble antman too...

talking about kung-fu and comics instead of zombies and comics, i have the new series of Inmortal Iron Fist (marvel comics, Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction and David Aja), lot of kung fu in this one.

zombies + kung fu perfect combination.
kung fu vs the seven golden vampires!!!

great thread!

Another one to add to the list:

A CHINESE GHOST STORY I / II

A classic that spawned a whole heap of imitations, some good, some bad.

1. Master Killer: Enter the 36th Chamber
(Shaw Brothers production)

This movie is all real. No special fx. Shows you what Shaolin is really all about: discipline.

2. Lone Wolf and Cub

3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 and 2. Bigup Vanilla Ice.

I second that, one of the best and toughest training sequences in any film, ever.

Wouldn't like to try that walking up the pyramid with the buckets of water and the knives attached to the arms pointing at the midriff!!!!!

Or the follow the swinging light game with your head between the giant joss-sticks

Or the banging the gong in time with the monk's taps using a 4 foot pole heavily weighted at the end.

Interesting to note that you mention it is all (supposedly) real. I did not know that.

36th chambers is amazing, i enjoyed a lot, and also has political stuf!!! perfect movie hehehehe about real or no, i think there some wire-fu in the movie, is not like Tonhy Jaa flicks (ong-bak) this guy can jump up to your shoulder for real! (what a sick bastard tony jaa).

and chinese ghost! another big boy movie!

a little note on bruce lee stuf, i love almost all the stuf done by him, specially Fury of the dragon with Chuck Norris! and the infiltration in fist of fury.

I was suprised how little I liked 36th Chamber, I guess I read too much about it before watching. Like I said earlier in the thread, if it's Shaw Brothers kung fu, it has to be Crippled Avengers. I also like the rollicking adventure films with Ti Lung and David Chiang (although I think Chiang was a bit of an arrogant punk), movies like The Heroic Ones and The Anonymous Heroes.

well yes I can see this point, but nevertheless DEEP training sequence, and not without it's laughs.. haha " do not enter the dining room with wet clothes "
i.e. if you can't walk on water, you ain't getting no dinner !!!!!

Harsh.

Recently I've watched Samurai Fiction, and Roningai. Two great flicks for the samurai fan

tempest · Post by **tempest** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 3:48 am

i saw 36th chamber on the weekend and i thought it was brilliant, tho definately hillarious without meaning to be...

and that stuff about it all being 'real' 'no special fx' seems completely ridiculous after watching it
