Seen a clip, thought it looked a bit poop, but I love a good martial arts film (although this looks nothing like a good martial arts film) so I'll probably see it anyway. I just instantly grr to the plot of "I must find a successor guardian and Oh Look! He's a cool american man who is disresectful of our ways and speaks in a strange slang". I think thats whats burning me, other than anything else...

I was never into chow that much.

Might check it out but i want to see so many more first (phone boothe).

As i am single again i'm finding it hard to subject other people to my taste in films.

:(

Why don't you get hold of Salo instead? Kidnapped and tortured teenagers forced to eat excrement...

Sounds like the fate of the audience of Bulletproof Monk tbh :)

For some reason I find the title of the film to be fucking hilarious. I keep imagining some guy in a cassock throwing it over himself and going "MY WINGS ARE LIKE A SHIELD OF STEEL!!!1" a la Batfink :).

I find it an enjoyable, no brainer film. Well worth seeing, even if it is only a rental once its out on general release.

Agreed. The wire work is a little over the top. Not quite CTHD over the top, but close. Also, I'll have to watch it again because the second half of my *copy* was out of synch by about a second. Really annoying.

There is no way anyone will get me to watch this film. It truly sums up why hollywood blockbusters are now less entertaining than poking wombats with spoons.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day, "I poke badgers with spoons". Throddy would approve.

I just saw this on DVD, there is a lot of edited scenes, in fact, they are from a virtually different story !

Was okay, not great, not bad tho.

What do you mean Xane? There are extra scenes on the DVD compared to the cinema?

I watched the regular film on the DVD then decided to look at the deleted scenes, they are very long sequences and show that the original ending was different, the assault on the baddie hideout involves the street gang from the beginning of the movie and the baddie is killed in a different way.
