Is there some sort of special factory in Asia?

[dangermousie]

Just finished watching Hong Kong movie Legend of Speed about some risky street-racing. The movie itself is nothing to scream about from the rooftops though it's not bad at all for the type of movie it is: no pretentions to intellectual splendor or deep emotional truths. Just some hot men, hot girls, and fast cars, with a bit of angst, redemption

*stares at pic*

*stares at dorama order she made this week where Stormriders was the only movie*

*wonders if she was psychic*

[dangermousie]

You are kidding, right? Heeeee, you got Stormriders? :D That is eerily psychic...

[meganbmoore]

lol...yeah...i was "hmmm...i wanna get a movie too because i feel a binge coming"(then said binge got sidetracked 1 movie in by handsome siblings, but who cares?) "any period ones I haven't...ooo...meant to get stormriders last time."(and didn't because i got dragon tiger gate instead...there's this cycle thing going here or something...)

It is a little eerie, isn't it?

I hope you got Director's Cut of TSR because apprently the 'international' version had 40 minutes (!!!) hacked out of it.

You've seduced me to Dragon Tiger Gate btw.

Ohhhh, Legend of Speed!!! *whispering* I like it!

Ekin Cheng for me is kind of a guilty pleasure :S Everybody says he isn't a good actor and well I think I've decided he does well one or two parts but I enjoy watching his movies. I recommend you the Young and Dangerous series (they are 6 movies). I also enjoyed Heroic Duo with Leon Lai (one of my Hong Kong loves ;)), Anna in Kung Fu Land, that is pretty funny, The Duel with Andy Lau, and Tokyo Raiders (although in this one all the credit goes to Tony Leung). I have Divergence and Leave me alone, two of his most recent movies in my 'to watch' list but I haven't yet although they both look interesting.

[dangermousie]

I like it too!

Thanks for the recs!

I really like Leon Lai (saw him in Seven Swords). So exra incentive.

I actually saw Divergence at a film fest last summer and really liked it. Once I read your post, I went to see who EC played in it, and heeeee. He played the lawyer and I remember thinking 'whoa, the lawyer guy is HOT.'

Apparently my tastes are consistent :P

ohh ekin cheng!!!!!! i love him and i have seen him in a lot of movies cause his just awesome to me anyways... and the stormriders is a must watch i love it... and his character is wind.... and if you want him out of his costume garb i watched tokyo raiders... but it was dubbed and i would rather have seen in subbed..

i don't know but i truly think there is an asian hot guy factory...

[dangermousie]

I am so watching stormriders later this week. Why did I not notice the yumminess earlier????

[janlake83]

cause we were preoccupied with other drama hotties???? and there are just way too many in asia??? i mean we have kdramas, jdramas, bollywood goodness and then some tw boys so we overlook hk??? i dunno maybe thats it

[dangermousie]

LOL. Exactly. But what a good preoccupation it is..
