Forbidden Kingdom: Jet Li versus Jackie Chan!

i'll be ahead of you jumpinjack! i'm going to sleep in the mall and wait for the theaters to open so i'll be the first one in the line. LOL

Oh I know you will. But save me a seat next to you
so we can really enjoy this movie together. lol

‹(°¿°)›

sure! i will save you a seat. don't forget to bring the popcorn.^__^;;

i'm sure the fight scenes would be awesome!

hi drannhh! i didn't know you were a Jackie Chan fan.^__^

i am really excited about this. i'm never going to miss this. i haven't watched the warlords! i'm waiting for it to come out in the theaters. its taking too long!

wat?!?! U haven watch,The warlords??? IT hasn't started at your side??

no i haven't. it hasn't been shown yet in the cinemas. i'm wondering already actually. but i can wait. if its for jet Li, i can wait forever. LOL

haha.. Maybe it's gonna be a movie marathon at your side with all 3 movies premiering on the same day.. LOL^_^

that shouldn't happen! that would be too much for me. i might live in the theater for the whole day!^__^;;

LOL^_^ Well at least u will get to see your idol straight for 3 movie with different roles.. hehe^_^

I can do that at home. I have a Jet Li movie collection on dvd.^__^

LOL^_^ But the thrill and effect is different from watching in the cinema.. hehe^_^ U got all of his movies collections??

not all of them. only a few. Jet Li has a lot of movies! some of them i already have forgotten.^__^;;

BUt most of jet li's movies u have are those he's in hollywood?? LIke, The one, Kiss of the dragon, Lethal weapon 4, Unleashed etc..^_^ hehe

not really. i have lots of his hollywood movies but i also have a lot of his old kung fu flicks mostly in Chinese with English subtitles.

LOL^_^ MOst of his old kungfu movies will be, Wong Feihong.. Other than that, i dun remember he has got other movies.. hehe

i love his wong fei hong movies! it was actually the reason why i watched the movie Iron Monkey in which a young Wong Fei Hong and his father Wong Kei Yi appeared as supporting casts. i forgot the name of the actor who played the lead role Iron Monkey. but the kung fu action was great. the young actor who played Fei Hong was amazing.

Is there a movie named Iron monkey, with jet li inside?? I dunno that!! LOL

no. Jet Li isn't in that movie. only the character Wong Fei Hong was there. i'm guessing Wong Fei Hong is a legend in China that's why there are many movies about him. Wong Fei Hong was played by a kid in Iron Monkey, who i don't know the name but he certainly is not Jet Li.

oh.. But i also wondering if there's really a wong fei hong in china last time.. hehe^_^ Because he is so popular after bruce lee.. But bruce lee is for real^_^

hmm... i see. this is what i found in Wikipedia:
Wong Fei Hung (July 9, 1847–March 25, 1924) was a martial artist, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, and revolutionary who became a Chinese folk hero and the subject of numerous television series and films.

As a healer and medical doctor, Wong practiced and taught acupuncture and other forms of traditional Chinese medicine at 'Po Chi Lam' (???), his clinic in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China, where he was known for his compassion and policy of treating any patient. A museum dedicated to him was built in Foshan.

he's indeed a legend. and as real as Bruce Lee.

LOL^_^ So it's real after all.. hehe.. 'Po chi lam' is his medical hall, house as well as martial arts training ground.. hehe^_^ ANd indeed, wat the tv and movies shows about wong fei hong, is exactly the same.. hehe

so that what Po Chi Lam is. its the name of a hall! have you ever been inside a training ground for martial arts students? an old one.

Nope.. It's hard to find them now.. Though i once used to be with the lion dance troupe, we learn abit of martial arts, but the whole training ground is far much more advanced as well as the training methods^_^

wow! you were in a lion dance troupe before?? nice. i have only seen lion dance on tv and it would really be interesting to see one for real! the China town here is far from our home and work so i can't really watch it during their New Year celebration.

Yup.. the real lion dance is fun and exciting and even one wrong move, can affect the lion's movement and performance.. hehe^_^ Plus, beating of the drum is equally important too as the lion dances to the beat of the drums.. There's the dragon dance too, but it's far too heavy and alot more complicated.. lOL

there's a dragon dance? i thought there's only a lion dance.^__^;; i've seen a lot of lion dance in Jet Li's once upon a time in China films. really interesting.

Yup, there's a dragon dance too.. The difference is that, ple will be holding steels under the dragon, because dragon is known to be flying always and thus, steel poles are used and carried by ple under the dragon, moving it, making it looks like it flying in the air.. And because the dragon body is long, it will need at least 20 ple for the whole dragon.. ANd the dragon movement is guide by the 'BIG head', using a ball, also attached to a steel pole.. Thus u can see the graceful dance of the dragon with all the skillful twisting and turning of the dragon^_^ hehe

i see. isn't that heavy? the steel pole and all that?

It's quite heavy and not easy to control.. hehe^_^

yeah. I hope it will be awesome as I expect it should be. i'll be damned if I get disappointed.^__^;;
you're welcome. although now I realized, this is kinda a very early alert. LOL

LOL I can almost hear your voice up to hear.^__^;; well, see you when I see you in the theaters!

you're right. there are Asian movies that are really better than some Hollywood movies. I think that's why Hollywood producers are including more and more Asian stars in their films and incorporating Asian stories. they just can't help but be fascinated with the East.^__^

hi saiven! nice to know that you are a fan too of Jet Li and Jackie and martial arts.^__^

this would really be interesting! i wonder how would they make the movie with both of the actor with equal exposures.^__^

hi dreamy! nice to know you're a Jet Li fan too.^__^
