I like Asian cinema so much I decided to move there.
Nice to see the Chinese film industry making a comeback

Strong opinions welcome!

For those who enjoy Yen's Shtick, Bodyguards and Assassins is out now on DVD and Blu-Ray. I'm a sporadic watcher of fight flicks so I can't say I'm aware of Yen's persona too much, I take these movies at face value and enjoy the mayhem.

I'll pick a random poster on this thread at the end of the week for a free copy so still time to add any thought, positive or otherwise about the movie, the UK release or Yen's rider demands*

I love all kinds of Asian action cinema from the 60's to the present day, a lot of my friends moan that i'm watching "yet another subtitled movie", let them watch "The day after tomorrow" or some other big Hollywood "look how much we spent on this" piece of shit.

From Ti Lung to Andy Lau, from Bruce Lee to Donnie Yen there's always some facinating Asian action film i haven't see waiting to be viewed.

Being the biggest fan of Jackie Chan since I was like 10 years old I found that his films introduced me to the Asian film market and I haven't looked back since. The quality of some of the epic battle films, stunt choreography pieces or brutal fight sequences should all be applauded the world over.
