I`m looking to put an order in for some films but need a few extras to build my order up and need a few to finish off the order but I`m a bit off the pulse about what`s supposed to be good at the moment I currently own/ have seen and enjoyed the following films:

Infernal Affairs 1 and 2
Dark Water
A Tale Of Two Sisters
Brotherhood
City on Fire
Ong Bak
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Hero
House of Flying Daggers
Old Boy
A Bittersweet Life
Audition
Battle Royale 1 and 2
God of Gamblers
Zatoichi
Once upon a time in china
The Ring
Ju on


Looking to get Infernal Affairs 3 pus.........

ps. Ichi The Killer- This may get caned but I thought it was the biggest pile of s***e I have ever seen.

The Road Home from Hero/House Of Flying Daggers director Zhang Yimou, and starring the delectable Ziyi Zhang :)

It`s very different to his martial arts movies though, no action to be had here... it`s about a woman who, following her husband`s death, recounts the story of how they met. It`s really good, though not really in tone with anything on your list.

It`s on Amazon for 6 squids as well :)

That`s the `who`s who` of `hot` Asian film, but may I suggest investing in a bit of punctuation? Go for:

Tae Guk Gi
Tom Yum Goong
Oldboy/Mr. V and Lady V
Ichi the Killer (uncut of course)
Mr Vampire
Shaolin Soccer
Kung Fu Hustle

Loads more, but far too drunk to remember at the moment.

Yes I do need some punctuation!

But also Oldboy is on my list, but I don`t think any amount of gore or "x rated" stuff can entice me back to Ichi the Killer just thought it was s***e!

I think I actually have Kung Fu Hustle, bought it and borrowed to my brother and never got back >:(

Will definately check out the other aswell though.

The Road Home
sounds good aswell. I will add it to my order, although I will be demanding a full refund if I don`t like ;)

Dragon Tiger Gate is a recent release, and is top notch! Bought mine from CD Wow

Yeah, I Know

Second opinion - Dragon Tiger Gate is rubbish. A lot of posing (step forward Donnie Yen) and mobile product placement, indifferent martial arts choreography that descends into Mortal Kombat fx-farce. Looks more like a hair product commercial than anything else.

City of Violence is very good, new from Korea.
