Kirks Championships : Boxing Prediction League : 2018

Simon Yam doesn't look like Rungvisai, you both azzholes lol..
Bloody hell Russell, you watched more HK flicks than I do ha3x.

 

They vaguely look like one another, to our pasty white asses anyway.

I probably do, is there anything wrong with that? Someone has to spread this gold to the masses, how else will anyone know?!

 

Nothing wrong with that lol.
HK used to be one of the biggest film industry beside Hollywood and Bollywood, but it dies out in recent years.
I haven't watch HK movies for years instead concentrating on their drama series.

 

Yeah, it isn't what it used to be, that's for sure. Not even the Shaw Brothers could keep their heads above water come the late 80's, and even Toho has just barely survived numerous times over the years.

Everything I watch is from the "Golden Age" of HK film typically, and from the latest around the time they phased out the Category III/NC-17 rating, so mid 90's and earlier for just about everything I watch.

 

Another great movie from the Golden Age of HK Film that I talk about so much, this time from 1984... Profile In Anger. Obscure as hell but in my very biased opinion better than any action flick in the past 10-15 years.

He's been in a ton of movies over the years. Simon Yam is the man.

 

Well I don't consider I Saw The Devil an action movie what so ever... Max Max occupies it's very own kind of headspace and those films have done so since the late 1970's and the first Mad Max. You can't compare movies like the Road Warrior to anything else, they're their own thing.

Movies like Children of Men, A History Of Violence, and No Country For Old Men aren't really what I'd call action movies either... Same with Django.

As for Iron Man, the Avengers... those are superhero flicks, a niche in it's own right.

I like action flicks like Robocop. Self aware, violent, with strong musical scores and lots of balls. Those are the types of action movies I'm talking about.

 

Ever see Dead or Alive?

The Raid movies are definitely Robocop class.
