Re: Kung Fu Films

Oh, most definitely - especially the hoops/jumping exchange. A lot of fans think that this scene takes the ostentatious, elaborate movements too far away from proper fighting. They're probably right - it's far too fancy. But, as a showcase of timing and acrobatics, it's a great scene, and the rest o...

Re: My game development thread

I had a chance to view some of the art design sketches for Baker Street on Friday night. Well, I say 'art design sketches', when what I really mean is 'small scruffy doodles of attempted 3D sketches of a room, in an old, lined school exercise book'. It was most amusing. :P :D Though, there's some ni...

Re: Kung Fu Films

Never actually seen King Boxer, shamefully. It's one of those mega-classics that you know you'll get round to watching, but it seems to take an age to actually do so.

I doubt you'd get it in your room :shock:

Mike Wong is a quality white-haired villian, and the lass is a hottie. :P It's all good.

Kung Fu Films

To kick off the off topic section, it's probably a good place to start with Kung Fu movies. Even though we haven't properly been into them for very long, they've rapidly become a mega-hobby for myself and vanpeebles. We've seen a few over the years, mostly the Bruce Lee classics and stuff like Drunk...
