Foreign Films

Post by **Arresty** » Thu Feb 17, 2005 4:05 am

The original Drunken Master was awsome. And I remember some other good ones. Just not the names. But before he came here he was awosme. Now its more stunts than anything. And I like the fighting better i guess.

Yeah thats exactly whats wrong with him right now,that he movies are about him doing dangerous jumps or something like that rather good fighting like his HK movies.

We can only hope that he and Jet Li will get tired of hollywood soon.

I wonder if Chan and Li has done a movie togheter.

Not that I know of. I don't think they have or ever will. They do different types of films normally. And Jet Li did do Hero somewhat recently. So he is still doing quality work outside of hollywood. Kiss of the Dragon coudld also be considered out of hollywood as well.

EWWWW! I can't remember which drunken master it was but the one with the man in the suit using that kicking style i can't remember was really good.

A twist from all the asian flicks.

Trainspotting: One of the best movies doneby Ireland, with its sicked humor and sharp social critiques, you might start thinking pushing heroine up your vein isn't that bad.
Rndom line: Heroine is better than sex.

Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Somking Barrels: Best of the best when it comes to dark humor and wit, lots and lots of wit.
Random line: You can call me Susan if you like.

The Big Lebowsky: Probably not foreign since it is an american film, by the Cohen brothers (of Fargo fame), but it sure isn't popular. Sick humor, ridiculous situations, pathetic characters and no plot. And still one of the most hilarious movies I have ever seen.
Random line:But... The rug tied the room altogether, man.

The Bath: that is the most probable title for this 1 hour and a half Japanese movie, about family ties that go beyond personal necesities. A true gem for values and family ties. About a man who thinks his father just died and goes back to his home town to say good bye, only to learn that he is very well alive.
Random line: Oh solee mio
Gah! just imagine a fat Japanese signing opera while taking a shower in the public bath.

Shaolin Soccer: saw that a couple of years ago and still loving it. I need to rewatch it again to remember a line to post though.

Insomnia: The original version, not the USA version with Pachino and Williams. Dark and tense is the best way to describe it. You get tired along with Jonas Engström (the main character) since he never sleeps and you start feeling all his tension growing on his shoulders.

Is it only for Asian movies if the thread is called Foreign films?

Post by **Libaax** » Fri Feb 18, 2005 2:02 am

Umm... the first movie I meantioned was Irish. The second movies listed (Snatch and LS&TSB) are British. The thirs is the only american film and it isn't a Hollywood flick, since it was by a small company, not like Sony Pictures or Universal or Dreamworks or WB. The fourth is Japanese. The fifth is Chinese and the last one is from Finland or something like that.

I thought it was a All foreign fill thread, not a Asian-only foreign films.
I don't see Hollywood anywhere in that list.

I was talking about the Big Lebowski

i know the other movies was foreign movies and you can see in my edit post that i meant this thread is for foreign movies not only asian.

By the way Shaolin Soccer is one of the funniest movies i have seen,th games are so fun.

Post by **Arresty** » Fri Feb 18, 2005 3:31 am

Shaolin Soccer is great.

Big Labowski was american but not hollywood. I woudl agree with you on that one, and just hilarious. But still off topic.

Trainspotting is Scottish not Irish. A great movie. One of the best ones out there. Apparently the book is supposed to be awsome as well.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is hilarious as well, so was Snatch.

And the remaing I have not seen.

I need some recomendations of moives like Zatochi, when i saw the fast sword action in the movie it got me hungry for some moives like it.

Post by **Eldo** » Sat Mar 26, 2005 10:06 am

Zaitochi ain't bad. It's missing a story, but great action. I highly recommend it to action addicts.

Post by **Libaax** » Sat Mar 26, 2005 4:35 pm

Who needs story with that sword action

Isnt there other samurai movies you guys can recomend, i dont know what to watch.

I saw a torrent for 27 old Zatochi movies from 60's-80's if anyone is intrested in them,let me know.
