You guys have to understand, this is my fav. martial arts movie simply because it is silly. I love Jackie Chan, but he's a little too deviated from "real" martial arts for my tastes. I think Stephen Chow does a great job of keeping it real, but making it fun and funny at the same time. Why do action movies have to be serious?? Besides Stephen Chow seems to put serious philosophy in his movies, just he doesn't throw it in your face at every second

I love this movie, it's nut as hell. It's like matrix meets kung fu.

I saw it, didnt like it, thought Shaolin Soccer was better. Overall HK movies are losing it's touch.

What is this HK people used a couple times? Hong Kong?

Hunter Killer. It's a Terminator reference, though IIR, it may have some modern military relations.

ah. that's kinda lame, then. a whole genre can never be made obsolete. there are good movies, and bad movies. also people have different tastes. saying that this type of movie is "losing its touch" is just silly.

Story? what for? it's an ACTION MOVIE.

HK is Hong Kong, in case I wasn't clear

It really is a shame that you watched the dubbed shaolin soccer because it really is a better movie than kung fu hustle in every way (imo.)

yeah... it was on TV though, so there's no way i could have seen it another way at that point

What makes it better? To me it looked not as good, as in just not as well crafted overall. Like a band's album from 5 years ago versus newer more mature album. Still good, just not as "tight" to use the musician's terminology.

That was a great movie.

It had to be top 10 in the collections of kung fu movies. (My dad collects all the old Jet Li movies)

Believe it or not there are a lot of ACTION movies that have good STORYlines.

Anyway, I agree that HK movies in general are starting to lose their touch... of course, this is only my opinion.

Please describe how an entire genre can "lose its touch". Makes absolutely no sense to me.

Also please tell me what action movies were top notch and had great storylines. I can find just as many that are top notch and have no storyline.
