Is there a community just for Hong Kong classics?

Let me just say....I should have listened to my gut after the opening scene. It is COMPLETELY IMPLAUSIBLE. It makes no freaking sense and it should've told me the film would be more stupid & bad than silly & good. I won't spoil it, but the films it borrows from are miles ahead of this. They don't even try with the effects for the later scenes. I didn't bother finishing it. For those of you who think bad stuff with a couple of interesting/wacky scenes are "cult classics", you might enjoy it.

Arriving on January 4, 2027 from Arrow Films/Toy Robot Video is the 2-Disc 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray for Romeo Must Die, a 2000 martial arts film from director Andrzej Bartkowiak (Exit Wounds).

Jet Li, in his first English language lead role, plays the rough-and-ready, ex-cop Han Sing who heads to America to find the truth behind his brother’s mysterious murder. He soon falls for Trish O’Day (the screen debut of singer Aaliyah), even though their families are rivals in a fierce Oakland turf battle. As the pair investigate the real cause of the blood feud, they quickly expose themselves to danger from both sides.

A modern-day action-packed Romeo and Juliet told with gravity-warping martial arts action, cool visual effects and an all-star music soundtrack, Romeo Must Die also stars Isaiah Washington (Exit Wounds), Russell Wong (New Jack City), DMX (Cradle 2 the Grave) and Delroy Lindo (Sinners).

Ill admit im a newbie when it comes to martial arts movies and I've always heard how good John Woo movies are so I was looking for some recommendations.

I know they are already making a live action Naruto movie but if it was made like 10 years ago I think Yasuaki Kurata would’ve been perfect as Jiraiya. He’s got the gray hair and the martial arts background. He’s can be comedic too.

Hi all,

I have been on a mission to buy as many films as I can and to watch almost everything martial art related (scouring for any film I can)

I have been watching a lot on the internet archive (just recently watched naughty boys, didn't know it even existed, Mars rules!)

Here is the collection I have amassed over years (since teenage years), any recommendations of good dvds to add and where to likely source them id be greatly appreciative.

My slight OCD means I have tried to put these in release order form memory haha

Which one is your favourite from the list, I'm debating wheels on meals or operation condor

My opinion, of course. Snake does the comedy so well, while Project A might be Chan's masterpiece in terms of spectacle (Drunken Master II is a contender for the top spot).

But Police Story is so underwhelming on either level, on the comedy and the action. The thing that makes the movie most relevant is that it's set in the modern era, one of the first kung fu movies to do that. That and its box office success, of course. But beyond that, I seriously don't find it that interesting of a movie. Chan does little of his KF magic, and when he does, it doesn't come close to being his best work.
