This new Tsui Hark epic looks pretty good. I'm sure most of you have already seen this, but here is the link to the new Trailer.

Lovin' it, lovin' it.

I've watched it ten times already and I can't get enough of it.
This is going to be a masterpiece ! 8)

I count eight.

swords ?

on the poster you mean ?

There must be a "twin swords" somewhere in that lot.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 12 Jul 2005, 23:33

I count 8 maybe 9 (that thin one next to the central big one).

This looks good but as per usual the WMV file is so low quality it's hard to tell.

This movie looks superbly erotic. Cannot wait IMO. :king:

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 Jul 2005, 23:51

Erotic?

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 15 Jul 2005, 23:56

That's probably scottish slang.

Don't ask me what it means, I'm only french.

Uhh yeah, sorry I was 'under the influence' when I typed that.

How about making this thread the Official Seven Swords thread ?

FYI: Tsui Hark has confirmed that the theatrical cut of SS should be 2h30mins
and that the extended DVD cut should be 4 hours long (yes I DID say 4 HOURS)

Cool. 4 Hours could be a bad thing if this turns out to be a turkey.

I hope not it's about time Tsui Hark made a decent film again.

Me ? No... How ?
It's not my thread and I'm not a mod (and I don't wish I was / too many responsabilities !

).

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 18 Jul 2005, 02:25

My bad I thought it was your thread.

p.s - Done

For those who really really REALLY can't wait, the official chinese DVD is already out at Sensasian.

Mandarin DTS with Chinese subs (No cantonese / No english subs).

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 19 Aug 2005, 14:34

So its a Cantonese film then?

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 19 Aug 2005, 14:37

Yes. It was shot in cantonese.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 19 Aug 2005, 14:55

OK. Ill wait for a HK DVD then

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 20 Aug 2005, 02:19

Plus aren't mainland China DVDs fucking awful quality?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 20 Aug 2005, 04:32

Mostly.

Tom2681 wrote:Yes. It was shot in cantonese.

Isn't that all Tsui Hark shoots in?

It should really be Mandarin though.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 20 Aug 2005, 11:18

Why ?

Most of the actors in the movie are cantonese-speakers.

Of course, for the sake of historical accuracy the movie should have been shot in Mandarin, but all the great wire-fu films were in cantonese (Swordsman 2, Iron Monkey, Butterfly and Sword, Flying Dagger).

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 20 Aug 2005, 12:03

Eh? HOFD was in Mandarin
