What's The Rebel? I've never heard of it

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 12 Jul 2008, 11:15

I've never heard of it too. It looks to be a Vietnamese Action flick set during the French colonial times: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0782154/

The lead is one of the main bad guys from Tom Yum Goong. I cannot find any proper trailers but there is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=534Csl0FIoU

WOW! It looks really good. Thai action films watch out!

The HK Flix link says it's coming on the 30th of September: http://www.hkflix.com/xq/asp/filmID.546 ... etails.htm

p.s - Tai Chi Master Spec. at Dragaon Dynasty: http://www.dragondynasty.com/films/show/108

I have to agree Brad - it does look very good

Woo, yes my Tai Chi master has shipped already too.. has anyone seen any reviews of the DVD?

Looks like DD will do Supercop after all.

I tell Stanley that we’re going to be reissuing Supercop on Dragon Dynasty, and he agrees to do an interview covering his memories of the film, and to take part in a commentary with me, time allowing.

Read the full blog here.

Thanks to UltimateHero @ KFCCinema.

Fan-bloody-tastic. This is easily Jackie's best film and an easy purchase for me. So far I've had to make do with a DVD9 copy from the Fortune Star box set.

I hope they call it Police Story 3, given that they've already released the first two parts. Maybe Police Story 3: Supercop.

Cheers Lee.

Wong Kar-wai’s re-mix of his martial art house film Ashes of Time is screening. At an early stage, we did endeavor to acquire the rights, but it eventually went to another company.

Any idea which company?

I never really liked PS3. Probably has to do with the fact that I've only seen the dubbed version on VHS, but it just felt boring, lacking any good fights apart from the short fight in the gym-trainingground.

Maybe I feel different when seeing the flick again. But I doubt it, as I dont really seem to dig Stanley Tong movies.

I really hope that they wont fuck up Ashes of Time with that 'remix' crap. I LOVED the movie the way it was. I sure hope they keep the soundtrack intact, as it was just an incredible experience...

I beleive Sony Pictures Classics is releasing AOT in the States.

Police Story 3 is a great fun film

Agreed. PS3 is among Jackie's best 15 movies.

Yes, it's Sony. They have a website for the film somewhere

They did fuck up, it seems. And the soundtrack has been changed, more or less.

So Yi-Long, Tai Chi Master is out soon and Fist of Legend is firmly on the release schedule. Are you happy now, or are you going to bitch about how they kept delaying the releases?

Well... Fist of Legend has been on schedules before, and TBH I'll believe it's out once it's in my dvd-player...

Tai Chi Master is a nice little movie, but for me it isnt a classic (it starts out GREAT, but soon goes down in quality and the end fight is just mehhh...)

Let's wait and see what and when they will actually release, and then we'll see if I have any more bitching to.
I still find it incredible that it did take this long to release this brilliant movie properly.

It does definitely have more of a Western feel. I'm guessing you liked that less?

So when did you get back? Any decent photos?

DD don't own the rights but you'll hate to hear it but WKW himself has made changes, too the audio too. Hung has posted an ongoing discussion. Have a read.

I have a feeling this time you'll actually get your wish

. Now whether you'll be happy with it I don't dare say

.

Be thankful it's coming, the rest is history. It's not worth brooding over.

Tai Chi Master is good up until Jet goes all weird. Sure it's part of the ethos of the story boy it was rubbish to watch.

HungFist wrote:Yes, it's Sony. They have a website for the film somewhere

Cheers and Lee too. At leas the AV should be decent, if nothing else.

Exactly.

Not sure. I love good western movies as much as I love good eastern movies. In PS3 I just didnt care for Jackie, the story, and the action wasnt as good as we were used to from Jackie. No interesting fights, no interesting villains, etc etc. Just a bit of an uninteresting random actionflick that could just as well have starred Michael Dudikoff...

So when did you get back? Any decent photos?

I got back last wednesday morning in Germany, and it took us about 12 hours from Frankfurt to Eindhoven, simply because we had a shitload of luggage to carry and had to use public transportation. Let's just say I seriously dislike Europe even more now than I already did.

Not sure if the pics are ok. A friend in HK burned them for me on dvd as I had borrowed his 1 GB card, but I think the disc is still at my girl's house (forgot my bag there, possible get it back tomorrow)
Hopefully the disc is in good quality after the long travel and I hope there are some nice pics to show...

That's a shame. I wonder if it was his own idea to tamper with it, or that he was talked into it by morons like Bey Logan who think some stuff needs to be dumbed down for different territories....

I have a feeling this time you'll actually get your wish . Now whether you'll be happy with it I don't dare say .

If it's uncut, subbed, has the original soundtrack and soundeffects, etc... I'll be fine with it. As I've said many times before.
Which is part of the reason why I cant believe it has taken so long to get a decent release out.

But but but....I like brooding! I like sitting in the dark fantasizing about using Harvey Weinstein as a dartboard while crushing small cute pet hamsters to death in my icecold hand!

Tai Chi Master is good up until Jet goes all weird. Sure it's part of the ethos of the story boy it was rubbish to watch.

Yeah, and just the whole demise into darkness by chin sui ho, and jet li going nuts etc, and the action getting worse instead of improving...
It's a shame.
I like the movie, but I do really feel it could have been better...

Exactly. It's a HK Jackie Chan film with a more Western style of action. Personally I loved it or that but most don't seem to.

OMG 12 hours. Isn't it only about 3-4 hours away? Not that I know where in Germany. I didn't know you lived in Eindhoven. I've been there. It's a pretty uneventful city but I was visiting friends.

Hopefully. Did you have a nice time? Any highlights? You should start a thread or continue in this one:

We've already said DD don't own the rights, you're barking up the completely wrong tree

. Read the threads Hung provided, it was definitely WKW's idea to Re-cut the movie.

p.s - AFAIK Bey Logan has never requested any film be dumbed down. I don't even think Bey Logan is involved with creating the actual DVD, just acquiring the rights in the first place.

Jesus, please fix that! From what I could tell, all they needed to do was chage the "A Yuen Woo Ping Film" text. It's bringing back memories of the HKL Police Story cover... hell, at least that put an effort into a "motion blur" effect.
