He "discovered" old kung fu movies, then rehashed all the cliche'd scenes and waited for people to tell him how clever he was :D

Ran across a few clips from KB2 yesterday. David Carradine and Uma Thurman have no clue how to move. And the fight choreographer couldn't do anything to make either of them look good. Then on top of that, they have people waving around straight swords like broadswords, and katanas like badminton racquets?!??

He's too full of himself, and it shows in his movies.

It shows because he has to star in them and he's a horrible actor, the worst.

Hahah...

I actually watched House of Flying Daggers about a month ago. Again, very disappointed. Too much soap opera drama for me.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon had decent fight choreography. Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi, and Chow Yun Fat don't actually know martial arts, but the directors made them look pretty decent.

Here you can see straight sword and broadsword used according to each weapons' characteristic.

I didn't even bother with the Tom Cruise movie :D

Here's a good fight scene.

Seven Swords was good too. Kind of drawn out w/too many actors though.

14 Blades is another good one from him.

Awesome, not only do you guys like reefeing but enjoy sweet movies to boot, KB 1&2 were okay, just lagged between the good scenes. Pai Mai is the best character in that movie IMO.. drunken master anyone? MODS can we get a thread split and start a "Kung Fu database " thread so we do get to far off topic here.. Also Tapatalk for bar?..
