When The Axe Gang calls in the most notorious killer of them all, a man known only as ?The Beast,? ... Played with exceptional humor and athleticism by the famous martial arts master and 1970s actor Leung Siu Lung
Woof Tuhon Raf:
A pleasure to be graced by your presence once again.
I'm not familiar with the movie "Old Dog", but by its name and your recommendation I am favorably disposed. What can you tell us about it?
Woof,
Crafty Dog
I enjoyed Conan 1 (Sandahl Bergman :-) o==8 ) simply by putting aside the knowing that it could have been so more more. Howard's Conan is a figure deep in the dark primal archetypes. If only someone had been at the helm with the vision and courage to have gone there something truly great could have been made. Ah well, forward.
Conan 2 was a joke-- and a waste of Wilt Chamberlain. PG Conan!?! Oy vey.
woof y'all
speaking of which, what do you guys think of ong bak with tony jaa.
Anyone know what it's called or done it?
OK, so I know this thread is about movies but I didnt think it was worth creating a whole new thread..

During the opening weekend of the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, footage from the upcoming "Rambo" sequel, entitled "John Rambo," made its rounds among distributors. The footage hit the internet shortly thereafter, and here it is in all its non-PC, R-rating friendly, slap-happy violent glory...
there was a mention (in this thread?) about denzel washington training some bolo techniques with jeff imada.
well, here's the rest of the story: a movie will come out next year, i believe, called the Book of Eli, starring the
erstwhile washington as a man wandering a post apocalyptic US, some 30yrs after a nuke strike. some cool
zombie vs kali stuff might be on the horizon!
i see it now. thanks 4 the correction, SG. Btw, the trailer is out now.

A friend sent me this clip of a korean film. it's pretty violent, but there are two nice action sequences. starting at around 5 min and then at 11 min. knife vs multiple attackers and knife vs kerambit. lot of intensity.

A couple of good reasons to see this movie.
1. Escape from the all too real horrors we are seeing in Japan. God bless them.
2. It is quite possibly the most pro-military film out of Hollywood since WWII.

Well, I'm glad that only 10 years after 9/11 we can start having movies that show the military as heroes. I guess it's ok since BooooOOOOOOooooosh is no longer president.
I'm always a couple of years behind in my film-watching, so I apologize if this has been discussed before, but has anyone seen "Elite Squad 2: The Enemy Within"? It's available on Netflix streaming video in subtitled format.
It sounds like a cheesy sequel to an even cheesier Jean Claude Van Damme movie from the 1980s, but it's an absorbing, exciting, gritty Brazilian film from 2010 starring Wagner Moura as an officer from the Brazilian military police's SWAT team BOPE, who gets a disciplinary transfer (which turns into a promotion) from BOPE to the internal intelligence service that oversees BOPE after a controversial shooting of a cartel leader inside prison. It's a very exciting (and violent) action film from the writer of CITY OF GOD that also explores the nature of police corruption, the interplay of politics and media in Brazil, trying to stay connected with one's family after a divorce, and especially, the law of unintended consequences. Kind of like THE WIRE set in Rio de Janeiro. It's a sequel (unsurprisingly, from the number in the title) to an earlier film that I haven't yet seen but want to check out. It won an award at the Berlin Film Festival. Well-done firearms sequences, fairly realistic if brutal hand-to-hand, even a couple of BJJ scenes (Moura and his son at a Rio BJJ tournament, and drilling with his son at the BOPE matroom) which advance the plot in some interesting ways.

Well-worth seeing if you haven't yet, and as I said, free for the viewing if you have Netflix streaming.
Well, as far as they were concerned it was clear that the parents were the perps (I agree) and then they made statements to effect that as case like that in Brazil would be adjudicated outside of a courtroom.
