Donnie Yen new movie!

[voidisyinyang]

Maybe one day I will get inspired to watch it. We'll se.

 

 

I watched Dragon Tiger Gate last night. It was strange watching Donnie use a cell phone. (Donnie Co-produced this one.)

 

started watching Donnie Yen's Dragon Tiger Gate last night also - I had seen it before. So I read a review of it - how the CGI, etc. was bad for Donnie Yen - compared to his 2011 movie Dragon.

 

So I watched Donnie Yen's Dragon instead. It's a bit slow - more of a drama -- got tons of awards since it's kind of "arty" - but when the action hits it is pretty awesome.

 

It's a good story also -- some good twists - cool qigong stuff in it.

I think Dragon Tiger Gate was just an exercise for Donnie. One, showing that he can, if he wants to, perform for a Western audience, and two, to show that he is capable of playing a part for present-day staging.

 

The action was, IMO, really excellent. Of course, Donnie choreographed it all.

 

Edit:

 

Meant to include that I have the DVD for Dragon so I can watch that anytime.

He spends a lot of his time making movies for Chinese audiences. Very busy man.

I will be watching for that one.

 

A couple nights ago I watched that Donnie movie (can't rcall the name right now) with Jackie Chan as a guest star. They had one battle but it was Donnie with spear and Jackie with swords.

[Mudryah]

Oh, blade of Kings. I heard that was an ok film?

Yes, that's the one. Donnie didn't have that big a role in the movie but it was still a good one. Just the fight between him and Jackie made it worth watching.

Donnie's Tai Chi is much more refined than mine is. Hehehe.

Donnie Yen is probably my favorite martial arts actor. He's always very polite. I find it amazing that he's almost 50 and still in such good shape.

Just to let you know also, this movie is not a wushu kungu based film. This is real street fight situations type of scenes and some wire stuff but I repeat this is not a wushu kungu film. It's similar to Flashpoint.

I'm sure I will watch it when I have access to it. I pretty much have to wait for Netflix to add it to their line-up.
