Good sequel, Jun 5 2004
Jet actually produced this film, and I have to say that it's quiet decent. The story is interesting and the action is spectacular. The Red Flower Society is back in business.

Could have been better, Jun 5 2004
Jet didn't seem motivated in this one. Michelle Yeoh seemed akward in her role, and Fannie Yuen didn't fit in. I'd have to say that this is one of Jet's sillier roles, even though some of the scenes were really good.

Excellent starting point, Jun 5 2004
If you really want to understand C++, and have some time on your hands, then this is the book for you. Eckel presents the information in an easy to understand format, making it easy for the reader to grasp the ideas. My only gripes are that he expects the user to already know C, and he uses struct instead of class throughout most of the book. Another beginning book to look at would be Accelerated C++, by Andrew Koenig.

Inspiring, Jun 5 2004
This is my favorite Jet Li movie of all time. Jet put Bruce to shame with this remake of the 1970s classic. I really enjoyed the way he blended his traditional northern shaolin style with that of Bruce's Wing Chun inspired style. The fight scenes were excellent, and of course the story was too.

Jet Li and that kid are awesome!, Jun 5 2004
Jet Li playing the role of a father took a little getting used to. But once I saw the kid in action, all of my premonitions vanished. In real life he is a student of Wushu, and boy can he move. The story was somewhat interesting, but Meng (the half robot guy) irritated me. Watching him spin and whirl around was just too much.

Epic tale of the hardships of a diplomatic envoy, Jun 5 2004
If you're scared of politics, this will scare you even more. A group of Korean diplomats travel to China to seek the council of the Ming Emperor. Prior to achieving that however, they are arrested, and sent into exile in the harsh Chinese desert. They wonder the land, and come into contact with Mongolian soldiers. The rest is filled with the journey of a lifetime. My only gripe is that Zhang Ziyi should have been given more screentime, even though this is a Korean film.

Funky, Jun 5 2004
What a weird film. Who thought of this? A girl raised in the mountains by wolves, possessing magical hair? What a bloody freak show.

Entertaining and refreshing indie short films, Jun 5 2004
This is a collection of 5 or so shorts, produced by various Martial Artists, many of whom are very talented. Some of the skits are ingenious and show real potential, where others are lagging. Fans of The Kwoon team will be pleased to see them here, as they really put on a show. The Sammo Hung lookalike is very talented and deserves a chance at Hollywood. Stop reading this and buy it.

Contains errors. The forms are incorrect, Jun 5 2004
James Lee was a student of Bruce Lee, therefore the errors in his forms are understandable. If you want to get a rough idea of what Wing Chun looks like, then get this, but I wouldn't recommend that you learn from it. Wing Chun cannot be learned from books.

Wong Sheung Leung proved Wing Chun, Jun 5 2004
If you don't recognize the man on the front cover, don't fret. He is Wong Sheung Leung, one of the best Wing Chun practitioners of the modern era. He along with a few others, proved Wing Chun on the rooftops of Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s. They are the reason that the Hong Kong police department adopted Wing Chun as its official fighting style up until recently (I heard they stopped using it because was to harsh). This video shows you the basic moves of the first form (Siu Lam Tao), as well as some of the footwork from the second form (Chum Kiu). The one-inch punch is also included. I recommend this video over the videos of some of the others due to its authenticity. Another plus: Wong Sheung Leung was Bruce Lee's main teacher. In fact, Bruce Lee used to stand in front of his house before class and lie to the other students, telling them that Wong was sick. This allowed Bruce to get private lessons. Upon learning of this, Wong gave Bruce a nice taste of Wing Chun in action. May he rest in peace, and his legacy of excellence live on.
