Movies Best non-anime Asain movie you've ever seen

...Well, I guess I'm lost here in the U.S.

I like the Legend to though.

 

The Killer (Chow Yun Fat and John Woo)

 

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Any Jackie Chan movie
The Duke of of Mount Deer

That's it....I think.

 

well i just watched "ichi the killer"

god damn that was one ****ED up movie... i'd love to buy the writer a pint
some day, provided I could sit in the next room... wearing a hood, and with a voice synthesizer..

i really want to read the ichi manga now

 

1. Lord of the Rings(ohhh Orlando)
2. Thirteen Ghosts
3. Rush Hour 2
4. Pirates of the Carribean(Orlando and Jonny, mmmrreeooow)
5. Just Married
6. Terminator 3

 

The Seven Samurai is at the top. Of course, The New Fist of Fury and Shaolin Wooden Men were both good as well (two old Jackie Chan's). I once saw a really cool Indian movie about some warrior/king who was kicked out of his kingdom by his evil brother, but I can't remember the title or who was in it.

 

umm probably no one has heard of these but Dragon Sabre and heaven sword 2000...and...Su Luu Houng....lol they are dubbed in vietnamese for me but i think they are chinese

 

Legend of the Drunken Master! Who could forget? ^^

And Kuuch to Hain (An Indian Movie).

 

Battle Royale! The movie was great but maybe it was because I didn't have to download it XD But uhh yes, Battle Royale was amazing and the book was even better so that'd have to be the best asian movie I've seen. But the Korean version of the Ring was great too... and a few other Korean ones... oh wow I don't know anymore -__-;

 

Iron monkey was great. ^^ The wonderfully fake martial arts, teh terrible dub. XD I loved that one!

Mordeth... why'd you have to remind me of Ichi the Killer? ;_; I'm still having nightmares... *runs off and hides* That was frikkin creepy...

 

Cry China Cry was good
but my favorite is..............
can't remember what it's called I think it's called The Good Luck Club

 

Someone mentioned John Woo, which is good because he's Hong Kong's most acclaimed action director (He did Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon as most of you probably know). Fans of action movies MUST watch The Killer and A Better Tomorrow. They're incredible.

 

Actually you meant to say "Infernal Affairs," right? I saw that movie too! The story is so cool that an American company is gonna remake it! (I forgot which company, but it'll be around in a few years, just watch, and remember that Asians came up with it first!)

Actually it was Ang Lee who directed Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (as well as Hulk). John Woo also did The Big Hit, Black Jack, Hard Boiled, Face/Off, and Paycheck.

 

I saw Ichi the Killer this afternoon. It's my new favourite. To think such a good film would come from a guy who used to make films as money laundering for the Yakuza ...

 

thirteen. it was pretty weird all that was real and such transformation occured in just a year

 

Heheheh, my brother has that. I only got to watch a few parts of it, though. Some pretty nuts parts in there. Someday I'll watch the whole thing through.

 

If the special effects weren't so cheesy, it would have been a lot more disturbing.
At some point in the film I had to change from my speakers to earphones because the sound was freaking out my roommate's girlfriend. I thought that was kind of funny.
It took me over a month to secure that film, but it was well worth the effort. Definitely worth checking out.

 

*shudders* Oi, I'm scared of ANYTHING. o_o And little Ichi happens to be more than anything.

 

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon/ Zu Warriors/ Ringu/ Hard Boiled/ The Killer...plus the Toho Godzilla films are hilarious! I Gotta check out Kurasawa's stuff....
