obsessed with making a terrible esoteric martial arts porno starring James Coburn.
You make that sound like it was a bad thing.

I've been watching a few kung fu movies. Some are nothing special, but this one and Avenging Eagle both stick in my mind. The Heroic Ones has some impressive sets and a story that goes beyond the typical bad guy revenge. It features an execution scene that would be considered extremely gory even today. The battles are fairly large-scale for this period of films, it has a lot of protagonists (13 sons and the king iirc) and the "heroes" represent the mongols/tartars, which definitely goes against the typecasting of Chinese films. There are some hilarious day-for-night shots, but other than that, I had a great time.

Man, that must've been one hell of a budget with that many extras.

I remember in British Hong Kong, they had three movie rating classifications.
I = G
II = PG/PG-13
III = R/NC-17

With Category III, they could have ultra violence like Riki-Oh and also nudity and sex. Can they even make those kind of movies anymore?

More likely Japanese. I hear a large part of their movie output is historical revisionist films where the CCP totally kicked Japan's ass.

Time to show my bad taste again.

Probably too much special effects to be legit, but this is stylish af.


Ong-bak is arguably better, but I love the way this scene is filmed.
yeah tony jaa was the shit, too bad he fell off pretty quickly

He's still physically awesome, he just chose a bunch of shit follow-ups to Ong Bak and The Protector. Turning down Die Hard 4 was straight tarded.
