Hong kong movies

[FartinMowler]

Over ten years ago here in Toronto I could walk to a local Chinese video store and buy a stamp pad that allowed me to rent 50 movies for $100 and I must have done that 4 times seeing a shit load of movies and I really fell in love with Hong Kong movies. I feel somewhat sad that there industry is doing poorly and I would like to find all the great movies and post pictures and hopefully some of you can find them and someday experience some great films. I have a small collection of VCD,s (poor quality) and slowly they are starting to make DVD's.

Some of the movies I have collected

hk films are great. especially films with lee chan sam

memorable ones i've seen are:

return to a better tomorrow

colour of pain

young and dangerous series

fing's raver

made in hong kong

god of cookery(?)(i think that's what it's called - craziness)

i just downloaded "a true mob story"... i've probably seen it before and don't recall but i've heard it's a classic gangster flick... i've seen many more hk flims than this but don't recall their names... CFMT Super Cinema Night was the highlight of my week! i miss TO



ever go to pacific mall in markham fartin? lots and lots of hk films there... going there is like being dropped in hk. good bubble tea too but since there are never any guai lo there some sinister looking azn hip hop teens may give you the evil eye.

Yep I will go there (Pacific Mall) this weekend. "God of cookery" was very funny (ugly chick starts singing LOL). I will try and get two movies that I really like and post them. I watched a movie called "Hero" last night, I would say one of the most beautiful "looking" movies but the story was sloooow but some great kung fu.

You gotta get The Story of Ricky. :o

Haha best movie ever.

Im also a fan of HK films. Steven Chow is one of my favorites, and their martial arts films and comedies are wacky and fun.

Im also liking a lot of the Japanese movies as of late. Battel Royale was something i just bought and it was amazingly cool.

A good fun HK movie is Bio-Zombie, comedic horror movie.

I will have to check this out.


Ya Stephen Chow is very funny.. I like his fuzzy head partner..The released his movie Shoalin soccer here but the picture in the newspaper doesn't look like him.

...and they um rent hk movies?

a true mob story was decent. a good blend of violence and tragedy and some nice shots of kowloon - even the "golden mile" by the chungking mansions . i made a thread about a japanese movie awhile back called "Cure"/Kyua... not a hk flick but definitely worth checking out... fucking genius...

now i'm dl'ing Born to Be King (another classic hk gangster flick) and "Pulse"/Kairo - japanese film by the same dir of Cure. bit torrent



jordan chan has the coolest fucking hair in the world in this movie

[whoreable]

hells yea bit torrent is awesome.

Here's some movies I picked up at a better place than Pacific mall. 6 movies for $30 but I had to pay 2 bucks more for a japanese animation for my daughters. The animation is very much like Spirited away in detail but the story is a typical girl likes boy film. Two old Chow yun fat movies and for me Chinese ghost story 1 and 3 . I have 2 on VCD and will get the DVD later. The Ghost story movies are really great and would recommend them to anyone that likes kung foo and b horror.

The Blockbuster near me has Zombie vs. Ninjas. I'm going to get it, it sounds funny as hell. I think it was made in Hong Kong.

pmall is so cool... but crazy fucking expensive iirc... they had a Ryu and Ken painted model and were asking like $800 for it

i'm just about to watch bio-zombie. it has jordan chan AND sam lee





although she doesn't look it there, that is like the hottest girl in the world

Edit: bio-zombie is the greatest movie ever made... dl rent buy whatever but watch this shit. total low budget zombie flick but it's hilariously fucking beautiful
