Topic: Dragon Tiger Gate

[RNIverson]

for those who like HK films... 



Super action star Donnie Yen and director Wilson Yip reunites in the highly anticipated movie Dragon Tiger Gate after the successful SPL. Together with Nicholas Tse (New Police Story) and Shawn Yue (Dragon Squad), Yen forms an invincible trio in this movie adaptation of a hugely popular and long-running Hong Kong comic series. Turning Tony Wong's comic series spanning 30 years into a 95-minute film necessarily requires a lot of trimming in the storyline. However, the form of a motion picture allows for more dynamic action and visually stunning fighting scenes than printed comic books. Packed with hard-boiled action sequences, the film features 5 large-scale fighting scenes, all choreographed by Donnie Yen.

Donnie Yen is Dragon, who leaves the martial arts organization Dragon Tiger Gate years ago and is now working under a Mafia Ma Kwun (Chen Kuan Tai, who has starred in many Shaw Brothers swordplay films). Ma Kwun gets the "Lousha Plaque" which grants him the exclusive rights to do business with Shibumi, the evil leader of the Lousha Sect. Dragon's long lost brother Tiger (Nicholas Tse), still living in Dragon Tiger Gate, accidentally gets hold of the Plaque, and the two brothers finally cross paths...

The film eventually climaxes in some spectacular fighting sequences set in the mysterious Lousha headquarters, with Dragon, Tiger, and Turbo Shek (Shawn Yue) fighting against the savage Shibumi. Apart from astounding action, Dragon Tiger Gate also contains some touching moments, and that is where director Wilson Yip's strength lies. The movie co-stars Yuen Wah from Kung Fu Hustle as the Kung Fu master of Dragon Tiger Gate. Two pretty mainland actresses Dong Jie and Li Xiaoran plays Ma Kwun's daughter and the Lousha Girl respectively. Tony Wong, creator of the original comic series, makes a cameo as a martial arts expert, and fans of the original comic series will surely find his appearance remarkable.

Magkakaroon ba dito? By the way, if you like this type of movie, check out Stormriders. P150 lang yata sa Astro ang DVD. Kung Fu Superheroes din to.

if it'll be shown in cinemas, maybe it'll have a dvd locally released. but most of the dvds of asian films have low quality. i usually go for hk import

kahit ako hirap hanapin yung exact link...the link you gave me wasnt the one I bought..iba yung cover art and the price was posted in pounds.  but the movie, though mababaw lang and short, action scenes are good, and good for HT.  I think yung director same as the one who did SPL....and Donnie Yen both directed the fight scenes.  Yung PQ is ok naman sa akin.  yung naipost mong link is CE...what ive got is the regular 2 disc set....just 6.99 pounds pala, not 8.99 as ive stated...
