For those who only train in their Mind... KUNG FU MOVIE REVIEW: CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON (2000) Ang Lee done good here. Definitely a film by a man who loves kung fu movies. It is a veritable tour of the genre. You get your mountain-top fight, your restaurant brawl, your echoey, drippy cave fight, your horseback across the desert chase, your bamboo forest fight, your courtyard fight, your training room fight. Oh, and there's a plot, too. Something about a sword and a foxy lady. Chow Yun Fat is quite good. For a little while, you forgive him for Replacement Killers. Michelle Yeoh plays a similar character to the one she played in Wing Chun, but a little older & with a few more regrets. The dude that plays Lo looks like a Puerto Rican headbanger I knew in high school. Zhang Ziyi is purty. The only complaint I have for this flick is the whole bamboo scene. Yes, it was pretty. Yes, I appreciate the work that went into it. No, it just wasn't particularly exciting. This movie is based on a five volume Chinese novel by Wang Du Lu. No, I've never read it, I'm just letting you know how much useless trivia I have at my fingertips. This is by far the most useless review I've written to date. It was just sort of a good excuse to go hunt around the web to find some neat-o pictures. Often I find my life troubling, and sometimes just a tiny bit sad. It's not easy playing with action figures when they are still in their original packaging. - tom: 2001 |

Some guys just have too much time on their hands... An elegant weapon of a far more civilised time... |
 Still the greatest... Anyone who ever aspired in the Martial Arts, dreamed to be the next Bruce Lee.. |

 My Best Friend... Hi John Still alive? Remember last night we joked about that fight you got me into with that big guy St Patrick's Day several years ago? Well, you did it again! Great adventure after dropping you off last night. How I wish you hadn't paid me back that five dollars I owe you... still alive, too Doug |
