Iron Monkey (1993)

[xane]

Got this on recommendation in another thread (thanks to gremlin), watched it yesterday, pleasantly surprized.

I can see where all the genre in a popular film like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon comes from, the "invisible wire" effects are every bit as good as CGI (if not better), and the comedy aspect lovingly unchanged from the days I watched Monkey.

Early Jackie Chan films were like this, but they lost the plot (literally), so it was a welcome return to the kung fu genre I thought was lost in my childhood.

The only downside was the awful english dubbing, I watched it with english subtitles on as well and they were totally different, and I mean totally, not small variations like CTHD had.

Any more recommendations like this film would be gratefully recieved.

Snake in the Eagle's Shadow is fantastic. Much better than the over-hyped Drunken Master.

Hero is a damn excellent film. Got the 2 disc Edko DTS version only a couple of weeks ago, looks gorgeous...and the women...well....rah

Now you leave them there women alone young man.



Actually, you can have Maggie but ZZY is mine. All mine.


I have the Edko 2-disc one too. Still waiting for the fabled Director's Cut. :/

But ZZY with JJH would be my first wish should I find that magic lamp.
