new mantle!!!
26 May 2006
this movie is the most action packed movie sine drunken master 2 and all 5 of the Bruce lee movies(excluding the acting in game of death),,,god only knows what Hollywood will try and make him star in!!look what they did to Jackie Chan(the shanghai movies were funny though!! i heard that they were making a kung fu movie (david carradine) and that they are looking for their hero!!well then,who'd we have at the moment?? Mr Chan,surely to old,Mr Li ,possibly, tony jaa,,certainly got the moves but his English is not up to scratch, i suppose there is no reason he couldn't use his own language with subtitles??Thai isn't Chinese though is it,,so slight problems there,,what we do have and this guy deserves a lot of credit is donnie yen!! now then anyone who's seen iron monkey will know what I'm talking about..lets just wait and see,,you heard it here first!! try and get a copy of a DVD called spl!!then tell me hes not the man for the job!!!!

i cant believe the comments made about this movie!this has to be Korea's best output in the martial arts genre since musa!!the fights certainly pull no punches you can hear heads and bones crunching!!i suggest you take another look and as you will see this a fine movie!!acting is good,the locations brilliant as the camera takes you around ghetto's to the wondrous scenes in the mountains,the training he puts him self through would make rocky balboa blush!!!the ice climb is excellent,you also get a feel for the period,this guy took no prisoners i can tell you,don't be put off from some reviews see this as a ruff n tumble session of extreme!!the last shot has to be seen to be believed!!!10/10 for a real gem of the martial arts kind!!!

this really is a spooky scary whatever you wanna call it movie,i wish they would re release this movie and show the new kids what a ghost story should be like,i.e the grudge witch is OK but nowhere near as scary as this,please if you can get your hands on this movie,!!!GET IT!!you will not be disappointed!!!its an oldy but a goodie!!the ball coming down those stairs is enough fer mee!!!!!!!!i cant look at stairs in the dark through this movie,honest!!and I'm 44!!!u have bin warned!!!also the late george c scot is areal gem in this one,he comes across as the kinda guy who will not be pushed about yet has a real want to understand whats going on,,he was also great in exorcist 3,,another truly scary film,,lots of quiet and bang!!major heart jolt!!!go get this movie!!NOW!!!!!!!!!!
