dragon tiger gate was terrible beyond words. bunch of 40 year old dudes playing gay looking teenagers I can't believe you actually saw the film, at least my excuse was that I was in Hong Kong, my options were Dragon Tiger Gate or a dubbed version of Miami Vice (that film was boring enough as it was...

While I was in Hong Kong over the summer I saw a terribly corny Donny Yen flick called DRAGON TIGER GATE , based on a hit manga apparently. It's nothing great, but funny as hell, and there's one or two good fight scenes. And check out Donny's hip street gear.... http://www.wu-jing.org/News/images/20...

It'll be interesting to see Verhoven attempt some serious material, but I'm with the admiral in saying we kinda need a Robocop or Total Recall about now... I'll even settle for a Starship Troopers, but I will not accept a Hollow Man.

Here are some you may enjoy: The Hitcher (from '87, fuck that new one) Creepshow Near Dark Maniac The Gate The Texas Chainsaw Massacre II And for some reason there was a Renaissance in the early 80s for Werewolf films: The Howling American Werewolf in London Silver Bullet Wolfen ...and of course Tee...

Thank you, Shabazz for the humble introduction... I was planning on starting slow and becoming a major force with time. But hell let's just do this...

Easily the best thing Miike has done. In some ways his most mature work even though it was made in '99.

The Karate Kid 9/10

Saw it on Family Channel with commercials and it was still amazing. Timeless.

I love that dude dressed up as Spider-man in the bathroom at the Halloween party.
