If you want a quality martial-arts flick, go rent

"Remo Williams: Unarmed and Dangerous"

That was the 1st video I ever bought.
Plot?

Fred Ward is a NY cop that is selected to be "killed" and used by an Agency as their hitman. So he learns the ancient art of Sinanju from Chuin, a little Korean master.

Sinanju allows you to run over water, dive through sand and dodge bullets WAAAAY before The Matrix did it.

Excellent movie, I'd forgotten about this one.

"You move like a pregnant Yak with two club feet!"

Remo is an awesome film, about 15 years old now, but one of the most enjoyable "Hollywood does kung-fu" movies I've seen.

Ridiculous, sometimes cheesy but , as Nick Ross from The Sun would quote for the poster "A rollercoaster romp of action".

(Does that chimp only know one phrase?????)

Remo Williams: Unarmed and Dangerous - I've never seen it and I'm not sure that many other people have either.

Maybe they should re-release it with a different name. Then people might actually WANT to see it. It does sound good from what you've said but the name doesn't do much for it.

I remember seeing the most hilarious advert on TV for a Van Damme season. It went something like this.

Whilst showing action clips, the voice over went like this:

Total Van Damme
Total Van Damage

with the voice over guy trying desperately to put on a really deep voice like the guy who does all the trailers. He failed miserably.

(You really had to be there I guess)

I want to make "Flying Genitals of Fury"

That would rock

My friends and I decided to try and make a Kung fu movie once.

we called it the Martial Farts...

...a kung fu movie, well sort of!

That dream ended after 10 mins where we just decided to eat instead.

If your interested in more than the film remeber that while Goodfellas and Casino are great films, they are rubbish DVDs. From memory neither has any extras, 100% sure there are no extras of note.

Raging Bull on the other hand comes in a beautiful case, and has numerous extras - notabely a rather good documentary. Oh, and postcards. Don't forget those all important "Collector's" postcards included.

Goodfellas, Casino and raging bull have been added to my list of potentials.

Ideally I'd like the first series of "Family Guy" on DVD, but I don't know if or when that might be coming out.

Does anyone else know anything about that?

Maybe I should start A specific topic or be ar$ed to try and find out myself!

:-)

Beverly Hills Ninja? Goodfellas? Casino? Raging Bull? Shanghai Noon? (I think thats the name, the one with Jackie Chan in the Wild West).

American Pie? Dude Wheres My Car? Mars Attacks?

Not yet.

Princess Bride and Holy Grail are being considered but I'm not sure yet.

Trouble is I've got Princess Bride on vid and Holy Grail is on telly all the time, so maybe I should opt for something different, something newer?

Any ideas?

anyone?

Not bad, at work at the moment. Things are a bit slow.
