Genkai Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Has anyone seen any of these movies? There are 5, 3 of them have been released in America on video and DVD. I have only seen the first one, but I loved it. Though the training music was kinda corny, and it was rather bloody during the opera scene, I thought the action was great, while it still retained a plot. It's set somewhere between 1850 and 1920, during what seems the gold rush, though set in China. It's about westeners coming to China and being, well, evil towards the Chinese... The main character, played by Jet Li, is a kung fu master, and also practices medicine while running his s chool for kung fu.. That's a brief summary of the first one.. I can't wait to get the next 2... By the way, the dub job in the special features menu is HORRIBLE. Anyway, anyone seen these movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conpiracymonki Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [b][size=1] Whee! OUATIC2 be my favourite film of all time, lol. I've seen 2 and 4 (4 is called OUATIChina and America). I think 5 has someone other than Jet Li acting in it. Anyway, 2 is about some racist anti-foreigner group called the White Lotus that have rallied lots of support from the poor public. It features Donnie Yen [spoiler]as the main bad guy, who you can sympathize with, once you understand his position in it all[/spoiler]. He acts as a character named Commander Lan. Donnie Yen + Jet Li = excellent fight scenes :) Also, I been meaning to find out more about a Donnie Yen film called 'Iron Monkey', in which he takes the role of Wong Key-Ying, the father of the young child Wong Fei Hung :) Anyway, Part 4 was dubbed, and it was a semi-decent job. It was funnier than 2, but the action seemed less fast and rapid, and the storyline seemed less interesting. Anyway, it still has it's good points, like how it is clearly established he is a master when he beats the final bad guy without him laying a finger on him once ^_^ It's about Dianna (who I think is Yee Siu Kwan), and Wong Fei Hung with his student Seven (who has a bent neck, and still fights excellent) going to America to visit some of his people there. Anyway, WFH loses his memory, and ends up with a Red Indian tribe, as the rest of the group search for him, and try to battle against the racist American cowboys :) That's as much/little as I can say wiithout spoilers[/b] [u][b]Quote from OUATIC2:[/u][/b] [b]Wong Fei Hung:[/b] Why wasn't your High Priest Kung present when I was 'initiated' into your sect? [b]White Lotus Follower:[/b] His Priest would not make an appearance just for you..*coughs out blood* [b]Wong Fei Hung:[/b] He wouldn't? *laughs* [b]Wong Fei Hung:[/b] And if I SLAUGHTERED YOU ALL HERE?!?![/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conpiracymonki Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 [b][size=1] Donnie Yen and Jet Li are working as enemies again in a new film, by the way. The next one since OUATIC2 =D Try having a look at the 'Hero project' at jetli.com, or the 'Hero film', at donnieyen.com They have great screenshots of the film (more in the Li site, and better ones in the Yen site)[/b] Me recommend you watch Part 2. Part 4 is OK.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS5 Gogeta Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I've seen the second one also and it was aewsome. Even though I would of liked it more if they didn't dubb it over because you really get to see how intelligent Wong Fei Hung is when you here him say all those proverbs. Just me probably.
