Maggie Cheung isn't in The Promise
But Cecilia Cheung is in it, and she's always worth the price of admission. I saw her live once. She performed at the opening ceremony of the First World Traditional Wushu Festival. For the record, The Promise is also known as Wu Ji.
The buffalo scene is wacky
If you can get past the buffalo scene, the rest of the movie is more amusing. The buffalo scene is total Road Runner/Wiley ala Kung Fu Hustle, and doesn't really work with the rest of the film. In fact, I question if that scene would work in any film outside of Looney Tunes. Like I said, I wouldn't recommend it to most people. Everyone else here in the office thinks it's silly - and it is - and I'm usually the most critical doesn't-like-anything type, so they're having a field day with it.
The Bloody Case That Started From A Steamed Bun
Let's see your forum fu. You got to move quick on this one because links to it are getting shut down faster than you can google Pam Anderson. It's the hottest thing in the internet in the good ol' PRC. THE BLOODY CASE THAT STARTED FROM A STEAMED BUN
p.s. jethro - for someone who posts so much on our media forum, you should know all about The Promise. I'm just saying...
That's just silly, jethro

But if you think about it back in like medieval times, they would where armour somewhat similiar to that ALL the time. And wearing that after a couple years, their bodies actually became a lot bigger and are able to support all of that. Just think that back then, this guys neck would eventually become huge and he would probably be able to fight with it on.
Have you ever really looked at ancient armor? Sure, there was some some baroque stuff, but that was usually court armor, worn by fops after the rise of firearms. Who do you think designed armor back in the day, Lamarck? :rolleyes:

Hey gene, i know that back in brittania(please don't get into my arthurian geekness) they were ALWAYS having wars and i know for sure that the kings princes. etc. ALWAYS had armour on and every day they would become stronger
and eventuually after many years of having wars and having to keep this stuff on all the time they became pretty big, i'm not saying they grew in inches, i would compare it more to barry bonds.
So I don't know if yer just tryign to be a you know what but i don't care if that costume is amde of paper mache, it works for me. :D

I guess your work thinks spiky hats are PORN. That's downright funny, and probably not too inaccurate in your case jethro :p
I wasn't hip to Sanada until Craig pointed him out. Then a lot fell into place. BTW, I recently saw Twilight Samurai and was very disappointed.
A review? I don't think there's on archived...
