I suppose it could be used for that. I do not study martial arts though. Just enjoy the films. That pic is standing right behind the couch so it's not as open as it looks.

Shaolin vs Lama is tight...I really like the Lama villain when he beat the shit out of that woman & then ultra beatdown on the monk. That probably is one the greatest ass-kick of all time.

YES! Sammo cameos are always awesome. Looks fun. Hopefully they don't overdo the slow mo.

Just watched Opium an the Kung Fu Master. Ti Lung stars so that's a plus. Some decent fight scenes. Wayyyyy sappy on the melodrama. A pretty effective anti-drug PSA stuffed in a martial arts movie. Up next, Shaolin Hand Lock! Finally tracked down a reasonable priced dvd.

Shaolin Handlock is ok old school flick but the kung fu is pretty crappy. Pretty brutal fight at the end. Shaolin Handlock is probably one of the lamest moves...David Chiang really carries the film though, you should check out The Loot, really awesome David Chiang film w/ Phillip Ko.

Looks overdramatic & cheesy...I really cant stand most Thai film acting & language.
I got a bunch of movies coming in today!

I agree about the acting in Thai movies, but in this case I think it'll hardly matter. We will be there for the extreme and inventive violence.
It is not out yet greedostick.

Just watched SPOOKY ENCOUNTERS with Sammo. It starts of so poorly I almost stopped watching. Luckily I stuck around as it gets much better in the second half. Starts off as a horror/comedy with silly fights. Some great ones in the second half including one of the best final scenes ever!
Now on the THE POSTMAN FIGHTS BACK with Chow Yun Fat. I'm on an 80's HK kick right now. WINNERS & SINNERS next probably.

I'm a big martial arts film fan.
I am probably going to take some shit for this but I watched Man of Tai Chi the other day, Keanu Reeves' directorial debut, and it was a big surprise. I really enjoyed it's plot and there were some great fight scenes. I recommend it to martial arts fans.

Went to the mall today and was surprised to see a Sun Coast Video. Went in for Ong Bak 1. Left with IP Man Trilogy. They were doing a buy 2 get one free. I had IP man 1 in my hands used for $12.00. But while looking through more movies discovered a new sealed one for $6.00. So basically got all 3 on bluray for $12.00. Im pretty happy about it.

It might not be rot. I got ip man, ip man 2: legend of the grandmaster, and ip man: the final fight. I just assumed it was part 3. Maybe its not.

It's not the complete trilogy...
Ip man 1 and 2 are released... the other films you mentioned are just cheap ripoffs...
...Ip man 3... the official Donnie Yen Film...
THATS the last of the Donnie Yen Trilogy...

PS. I'm waiting for the Blu ray "release" myself

Superhero movies are getting old.

So i just watched IP Man. Finally... Fucking AMAZING! Instantly a classic in my mind. Im going to waych it again next week. After i watch Creed tonight im going to fire up IP Man 2.
