Progression of Chinese Pop over the years: Jacky Cheung

[Place Of Space]

What is it? Wushu?

This movie is about love and loyalty. Not a martial movie.

What's martial movie? A bunch of stupid guys fight with each other for no reasons.

and i met Chow Yun Fat once in Yau Ma Tei. I took apicture with him lol damn that man is tall

Haha you did? Never met anyone that popular before, but I did see Jackie Chan from afar, man that guy is like a living legend. Living Legend. And very down to earth and approachable, too. You know that is rare since many mega-stars usually tend to be very far-offish? Jackie Chan seems to be very open to his fans, he was even hugging fans...! lol.

Chow Yun Fat's greatest film. And this film really introduced Zhang Ziyi to the world stage here; i think her beauty captivated the world at large to the Chinese...

I remember watching this film for the first time with my high school buddies and everyone , i mean everyone of my guy friends were going goo goo and ga ga for Zhang Ziyi. She set the bar for Chinese woman, i suppose...




Got any more Cantonese pop song recommendations? Oh yea, Andy Lau is good...haha. One other singer that was popular back in the early 2000s was Coco Lee. Remember her?

Indonesia has come to the world stage as well by this movie, using our martial arts (Pencak Silat)

Pencak Silat

But it is too sadistic in my opinion

Look Indonesian girl butcher Japanese men........

lol, was it that rare?

I remember that time I tried to get him to sign on something and in the end I gave him a $10 note to sign on.

Think I also saw Jackie Chan once or twice in Tsim Sha Chu when he was shooting a movie but I cannot get to see him in person lol, kind of creepy I guess.

Meeting stars is not really a big thing to me. I met quite a few American Stars and Canadian Stars during my time working as a technical supervisor for Actor Military Training. I met Jessica Biel when I was working on her movie as a technical advisor.

dude I saw this Japanese movie about JMSDF some day ago 亡国のイージス

It was quite crazy, I don't understand why the ship's officer would follow the terrorist in the movie (Maybe My Japanese is a bit rusty)

Awesome movie, man! Yea, it really is a new type of film since its bringing in terrorism into the Japanese cinema , very action oriented. And yea, about the listening to terrorists, lol.Usually Japanese action movies are domestic related.

From what I can gather, the terrorist is also former JMSDF officer and their family, and they have a grudge or some sort to the Japanese Government, but how and why the JDF officer on DDG-175 follow them, I have no idea...

Hahahaha reminds me of one film i saw many many years ago that was kinda a copy of 'Top Gun', ベストガイ (pronounced as BESUTOGAI) "BEST GUY". Film was basically showing off the F-15J and true to Japanese drama, the pilot falls in love with a woman, they get into fights, affects his duty.

It was popular back in the 1990s.

This one The Ring from Japanese, Horor Movie, we share similar ghost because Kuntilanak is a well known Indonesian ghost and it looks like ghost figure in The Ring

The Ring

Man, it is Friday night now...............

 

[mike2000 is back]

You're absolutely right, @mike2000 is back , absolutely right. I guess i was lacking judgment in my analysis. Tho Japan was introducing the Samurai Genre to films as early as the 1950s, and heck even Akira Kurosawa's classic "Seven Samurai" was recreated in the US as 'The Magnificent Seven' starring Yul Brynner. However, Japanese movie genres at the time only made a minor dent in the world stage when it comes to martial arts genre, the Hong Kong Film Industry really revotionized it and mega-stars like the legend Bruce Lee really projected Chinese culture, Chinese martial arts, China and Chinese to the world at large; not just the west.

In fact, lol, in Japan , one actor tried to recreate the 'Bruce Lee' appeal later on but in the Japanese context. I think you may have heard of him before? Perhaps? Perhaps not? His name is Sonny Chiba 千葉 真.

SO TOTALLY copying Bruce Lee...

Anyways, yes, Hong Kong Film Industry revolutionized the Martial Arts Film Genre. Pretty much everyone just built onto it.

WTF?? WHO IS THAT??? LMAO. so funny.

To be honest though,its not just japanese who tried to copy bruce lee. Even in the west there were movies mimicking bruce lee's style .

Moreover you are also right, even hollywood movies took their action martial arts inspiration from hong Kong movies. Those were the good old days, sometimes i miss them really.

To my Chinese Friends,


Seems to me that the good ol' days of the 90s was the best time for both Japanese and Chinese romance ballads. One particular favorite Chinese (Cantonese) singer of mine during this period was Jacky Cheung , i don't know if many of you remember him? But i remember when I was going to Hong Kong on summer vacations, his songs would be playing all the time in the malls, or on the radio stations.

One song that comes to mind:

Anyone remember this?

My favorites ....
英雄本色 (A Better Tomorrow) 1986
无间道 (Infernal Affairs) 2002
杀破狼 (SPL) 2005
