What's your favorite OLDSTYLE kung fu flick?
Ed_McCarron:
For some reason, I read the title as "Whats your favorite OLDSTYLE kung fu KICK" and was thinking "How the heck do I know what the different kicks are called?"

Ss-ss-ss-ss-ss-ss-ss.
Xiaou2, I think Rumble in the Bronx is '80, so it qualifies. A lot of those others don't, though. Yeah, Liu was pretty cool. Have you ever heard one of his flicks un-dubbed? Oh my god, he has this high male voice. Well, seems they all do, and they sound like a bunch of geese in heat! I remember the kids back in college sounded the same. Egads.
Xiaou2:
Now that you mention it... Im not so sure if Ive heard Liu unedited. Ill have to check it out.
I once went to a Chinese Opera here. They train to sing in a very high and unusual
voice. It was very strange. The acrobatics were incredible however.
Personally, I try to watch the originals when I can. For example, I saw Crouching Tiger before
it was dubbed english. I dont mind the subtitles. I later saw the english dubbed version, and
I was horrified. The little girl was supposed to be portrayed at being like 12 yrs old I think.
However... they used an older woman to do her voice... and it totally didnt match her character
at all. I literally cant stand to watch that movie in english.
However, there are some movies which I prefer in english... such as Wing Chun. The translation
is actually more comical... and the voices are very well suited to the characters. :)
sez:
Japanese Ghost Story - one of my favourites.

No, not Supercop. Supercop is the sequel to Police Story.
