hey,

I heard something about it being merely seconds left of King Hu's direction in the final cut. Then what was it, Raymond Lee, Ann Hui, Tsui Hark and Ching Siu-Tung that took turns? :)

I voted for Moon Warriors. A highlight of the early 90's wuxia burst.

Brad is relieved he has donned his flame proof jacket. Tell me another person ever whose first name has been King?

Did you know one of the Prince's of Thailand directed Suriyothai? -

His Chinese name is Hu Chin-cheun. Maybe King was a nickname that stuck, like Sammo.

I voted for Moon Warriors. Seen them both but don't remember Swordsman that much. I loved Moon Warriors though. Thought it was a really good film, with some nice action. Crappy review available on my site!!

Thanks Degeneration. Your gushing review as made me decide I should see it. How come your reviews don't appear at:

http://www.dvd-basen.dk/uk/home.php3?soeg=all&mvis=ok

You should definitely post them. I didn't know you'd written so many.

No idea how to register with that site!!

Was going try to find out after I've finished the current update that I'm doing. Transferring the whole thing to be database driven rather than writing an individual page for each and every thing. So will put my reviews there once I've got that done, if I can figure out how!!!

They are all listed at moviereviewindex.com though.

I can't see how either. I can't even see a "Contact Us" link but I'd definitely try and find out.

You can see the current added sites here: http://www.dvd-basen.dk/uk/home.php3?stat=ok&mvis=ok

It's hosted by DVD Times/DVD Forums so they must know, pop them an e-mail: http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/sendmail.php

Tis a shame since you'll never get around to watching either film.

:D Probably. I do watch them eventually, it just takes a few days or many, many months.

Can you change your signature now please? It's starting to get INCREDIBLY annoying. It's literally starting to make me feel ill.
