House of flying Daggers
 
I'm not sure if it's Jpanaese or Chinese, but It's a really good action movie i found. Love, tyrying to find it on dvd, but can't T.T so if anyone knows where I could buy that on DvD that would be cool

it's chinese....it's a sequel to...uh, let me think which movie it was...i want to say it's a sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but it might actually have been Hero that it was a sequel to. Zhang Ziyi is so beautiful...how did they talk her into playing in Memoirs of a Geisha? she's not japanese x.x

yeah, it's a chinese movie, though, one of the lead actors, Takeshi Kaneshiro, is half-Japanese, half-Chinese...

Al Pacino is not Cuban and he played one in Scarface and Mel Gibson is not Scotish, and he played William Wallace in BraveHeart.
i would like to point out that i hated scarface...and furthermore, if it was an american movie, than why have i yet to see a single english version?

Another awesome Chinese romance martial arts movie by Zhang Yimou. House of Flying Daggers isn't a sequel to Crouching Tiger or Hero, it is an entirely different movie with it's own story.

This had some cool fighting and effects, but it bored me a bit, lol. :o I want to see CTHD, I guess I need to, I really like his films.

Yeah, what Kanji said. Favorite scene would have to been the one where she does that drum dance or what ever you call. Man, I should know too. I studied China for like 4 years. And whoever said it was a little boring, definitely do not watch Raise the Red Lantern. I loved it, but then I loves me some China. Suddenly I really feel like eating some gongbao jiding loaded with MSG.

x.x i have crouching tiger...i don't even remember why i bought it, i thought it was too low key

i didnt like house of flying daggers all that much; i prefered CTHD; it was a real breakthrough film.

Flying Daggers went too far with the flying sequences; i dont like it when action, stunts and special effects take over a movie's heart.

same for hero; plus im not a huge Jet Li fan...

Im looking forward to Curse of the Golden Flower; looks interesting, but im afraid it'll be like Flying Daggers.

i want to see that, but i'm afraid it's going to be too much of a drama *hates dramas*
