Geung see dai si doi (2003)
ok, its bad, but isn't that the point??
let's be honest, when you pick up a dubbed/subtitled cantonese vampire flick, you probably aren't expecting to find a diamond in the rough. my friends and i got exactly what we expected and laughed through the whole thing (ok, some parts were seen at 4x). the music - horrible. the sets - sort of interesting since they were other-culture-ish. the acting - terrible. the dialogue - beautifully terrible. in fact its substrate such as this which really hones down my 'terrible chinese dialogue shtick' that makes me so popular at parties.
oh and the vampire - yikes. we're talking bundle of sticks glued together. worse than 4th grade halloweeen stuff.
overall - great movie since its so bad....
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)
the viewer faces a major quandary
humm, never before have i had such a hard decision: is it better to watch this film at 4X or 8X regular speed!!?
honestly, this film has so many slo-mo sections the only way to make this already unending movie not seem like a time-skip movie is to use the dvd fast forward.
there's only a very few kick/fight scenes - the one at the end is very nice. honestly, a martial artist is wasted when they pick up big guns and shoot 50 down in a spray of bullets/grenades - why sly stallone can even do that! no, at the last fight scene, down go the automatic weapons, throw down those sidearms - fight it out hand/foot.
