Jet Li

I'm going to start a large ramble about my appreciation for Jet Li films soon.

Be warned.

I can't believe you like Lethal Weapon 4 that much.

I've only watched one non-Chinese/HK Jet Li movie, being Romeo Must Die. I won't make the same mistake twice. Though apparently, The One is interesting in terms of the different fighting styles used by the two characters.

I guess I'm only really a fan of the epic wushu-style movies he has done, of which I have seen the following (in order of viewing):

Hero
Once Upon a Time in China
Fearless
The Shaolin Temple

I didn't have any real interest in him until I'd seen Hero, which I only went to see in the first place because of the cinematographer involved and a couple of the other actors.

I saw Fearless recently, which is reportedly the last wushu-epic style movie he will do. Definately worth seeing if you're at all interested in this style of film.

That initial rant wasn't nearly as long as I expected it to be.

I really detest Jet Li. Uma Thurman is far better. Even in Rom-coms.

I like you, Eli.
I know I act like I'm a big man and I can't stand you but...
I just can't hide it any longer! You look like Thierry Henry and smell like a caramel apple. Both of which I want inside me.

Poor form, Toast.

I know man, and you rarely dip to these depths. What the hell's happening to you man?

I just had to let you know.

Don't talk to me. You haven't even seen any of those films, have you?

Are you suggesting I've not seen Lethal Weapon 4? You mad?

*resurrects*

Watched Unleashed last night. It was better than I thought it would be, even if the fighting wasn't that awesome, except for the scene with the unexplained albino guy in the dunny.

The story was a bit faulty, but the editing was pretty choice. I've seen worse Luc Besson films.

I saw Lethal Weapon 3 last night

I watched a bit of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
That movie really doesn't stand up to a second viewing.

I enjoyed Hero.

I don't know what it is, kung fu losses my intrest after 10 minutes.

I have a racial aversion to the Chinese.

What about Bai Ling?

Can't stand the sport.
