That was fast!

Yes, I think LD is right on that one.

He he he! It's one of my favourite no-brainer action flicks which I watched twice at the theatre and probably 5 times on DVD.

Altohugh I'm right on this one, I'll wait for Gaster's approval. :mrgreen:

Shit, even I would have known that one. It was on just last week on MTV.

Hahaha, well done LD! I didn't think everyone was gonna get it so quickly haha, never mind.

Seeing that the last one was so easy and that some people here are requesting films that are harder to guess, I'll give you these. It will probably be the toughest film to guess correctly since the beginning of this game. That's why I'm posting two screenshots:

Well everybody else have fun, because I know I've never seen those guys in pink jackets before.

It's a Mainland Chinese film btw.

Kekexili: Mountain Patrol?

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 24 Mar 2006, 12:01

Nope.

It looks Blind Shaft-esque, but that can't be it.

I'm going for "Cala, my dog".

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 24 Mar 2006, 12:39

Nope.

The World ?

Nope.

Green tea ?

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 24 Mar 2006, 13:06

Nope.

Isn't "Green Tea" a Japanese film?

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 24 Mar 2006, 13:09

Oh, and what a coincidence, I'm currently drinking "Green Tea".

Proof:

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 24 Mar 2006, 13:14

Green Tea is chinese.
It's a 2002 movie with Jiang Wen, Zhao Wei, photography by Chris Doyle.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 24 Mar 2006, 13:17

Any good? The cover art of looked decent and I was about to get this at one of my YesAsia purchases, but decided not to as I heard it was kinda so and so. The fact that Chris Doyle was the DoP on this changes things though. Love his imagery.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 24 Mar 2006, 13:31

It's decent. Good acting from the leads, nice images, Wong Kar-Wai-esque storyline.
Not a masterpiece but well worth a look.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 24 Mar 2006, 14:08

Thanks. Might put it on my To-Buy-List.

Knetan · Post by **Knetan** » 24 Mar 2006, 17:25

hey,

I'll echo the decent grade on Green Tea. Lush images by Doyle and there's interest maintained despite Zhao Wei and Jiang Wen mostly sitting and talking. Is a little hard to decipher but a welcome challenge.

Taiwan dvd is anamorphic and Mei Ah have also put it out. Heard some poor feedback on their disc though.

Too bright to be Blind Shaft.

Not to veer OT but Tom, is Cala, my dog any good? Saw Lu Xuechang's "The Making Of Steel" recently and was fairly impressed.
