an impoverished young sicilian , working at a volkswagen plant in the industrial german city of wolfsburg , finds himself isolated and shamed and decides to take revenge . schroeter , who justly won the golden bear at the berlin film festival , contrasts the poetry of sicily with soul - sickened germany ,
this land without light , without sun , without song .
an impoverished young man from sicily travels to wolfsburg , west germany to find work . he takes a job in the volkswagen factory after he travels through northern italy by train . the young man is arrested after he kills two germans with his knife when they question his honor . the third part of the film follows his subsequent trial and deals with justice denied and the attitude of many germans who resent the influx of foreign labor . ~ dan pavlides , rovi
i ' m not sure why i chose this as my first schroeter film ( or why i ' d choose one that ' s three hours long for that matter ) , but i assume that it was as good of a place to start as any . it goes through a number of different , distinct phases over the course of its runtime , starting off sort of like a pasolini film , then becoming . . . an aki kaurismaki film ( ? ) before turning into stroszek ( or i guess , more accurately , a sort of reverse stroszek ) and then a tedious , drawn - out courtroom drama ( possibly my least - favorite genre ) which in turn gradually morphs into . . . a ken russell thing ?
is
leftist fiction , kitschy melodrama , photo - roman , a decadent chronicle of a city , opera in a minor key , or simply the first realistic narrative film by schroeter ?
it is all of these and more : an epic chronicle of proletarian family life in naples from 1943 to 1972 that brilliantly captures the wretched poverty , overwrought passions , and political , religious and economic upheavals of sicily across two generations . schroeter assimilates neorealist aesthetics and class sympathies with the tempestuous excesses of popular melodrama , borrowing freely from rossellini , pasolini , visconti , brecht , and rossini .
, the apotheosis of his early career and a true underground film ( none of the actors were paid , yet schroeter still ended up deeply in debt ) . shot in multiple languages , set in ( a faked ) cuba , france , the ruhr region and bavaria , and structured in four acts , the film reflects on themes of fortune , destiny , and mortality . actress bulle ogier later said that
the sequence in black and white was the most beautiful thing i ever did in cinema . werner was able to unveil a kind of fragility , a delicate transparency , in me . so too with andréa ferréol , who was never more luscious , sexy , or renoiresque .

the goethe - institut chicago and the facets cinémathèque are very proud to present a selected retrospective of films by werner schroeter , the renown german filmmaker and theater director who passed away in 2010 at the age of 65 . he directed 41 films and numerous stage plays and is undoubtedly one of german cinema ' s most important artists . however , schroeter was never fully appreciated as a part of the seminal movement which became known as the new german cinema , mostly due to the experimental nature of his filmmaking . in contrast to his contemporaries r . w . fassbinder , wim wenders , and volker schlöndorff , schroeter spent the first phase of his career making 8mm shorts and television films . by the time he made his first feature ,
( 1972 ) , the new german cinema had already firmly established its reputation at home and abroad .
while the star directors of the new german cinema used their visibility to make realist films about recent german history , schroeter ' s filmmaking , for much of the 1970s , oscillated between avant - garde essay films and documentaries . although his contribution to german cinema during this period was crucial , his avant - garde sensibility unfairly placed him on the outskirts of the new german cinema . his marginal status led to the inconsistent distribution of schroeter ' s films , a state of affairs which sadly remains true today . it was not until his international 1980 art house success ,
 the grippingly realist story of an italian immigrant worker ' s fate in germany  that schroeter gained the international acclaim he has long deserved . no less admiring was the french philosopher michel foucault , who wrote that
what schroeter does with a face , a cheekbone , the lips , the expression of the eyes . . . is a multiplying and burgeoning of the body , an exultation .
this program was made possible by the goethe - institut chicago . special thanks to , stefan drößler of the filmmuseum münchen , detlef gericke - schönhagen and karin oehlenschläger of the goethe - institut boston , juliane camfield of the goethe - institut new york and joshua siegel , associate curator , department of film , the museum of modern art ( new york ) .

schroeter ' s virtuosic staging of the oscar wilde tragedy is a complex montage of image and sound , filmed on the grand steps of baalbeck , the ancient roman temple in lebanon , and interweaving lebanese and german folk songs with the music of verdi , wagner , strauss , mozart , bellini , and donizetti . elfi mikesch , the cinematographer of schroeter ' s later films , designed the film ' s sumptuous costumes . a contemporary critic for
wrote admiringly of schroeter ' s depiction of
the deadly struggle between dark christian morality and luminous paganism .
directed by werner schroeter , west germany , 1971 , 81 mins . in german with english subtitles .
was schroeter ' s favorite film , a dispatch from the world theater festival in nancy , france , featuring dance and theater performances by pina bausch , kazuo ohno , and reinhild hoffmann , that he elevated into an exhilarating essay on love and desire ; feelings and expression ; and the artist and society . using repetition , fragmentation , and montage , and incorporating music by mahler , strauss , verdi , and puccini , schroeter fashioned a collage of rehearsals and performances , conversations and poetic ruminations , all centering on the idea of creative experimentation .

, with documentary images of mexico city and voiceover commentary , then becomes the mystical journey of two women tourists , a german and an american embassy secretary . they mutually search for meaning and self - fulfillment among the ruins of the incan gods in a film which schroeter considered
a nostalgic joke , a cheap farce
of kitschy colonialist romanticism .
directed by werner schroeter , west germany , 1974 , 71 mins . in german with english subtitles .
as a guest of the manila international film festival , schroeter was horrified to discover the yawning gap between rich and poor in the philippines . he began to film clandestinely , using modest funds offered by the actor peter kern , and researched the legacy of colonialization through archival footage . drawing parallels with the tortured histories of south american countries , and with his own fiction feature

the early 19th - century mezzo - soprano maria malibran , whose bel canto voice and beauty enflamed the hearts of rossini and bellini , died in 1836 at the age of 28 after falling from a horse , yet even today she continues to enchant opera singers like cecilia bartoli , who devoted an entire album to her work . no mere biopic ,
perpetuates her myth and mystique through a dreamlike series of romantic tableaux , the inimitable superstars montezuma and darling leading a cast of women and transvestites who embody the force and fragility of divas throughout the ages , from maria callas to janis joplin , the modern - day malibran to whom schroeter dedicated this masterwork . with magdalena montezuma , candy darling , ingrid caven and christine kaufmann .

no man 's land is a 1987 american crime film written by dick wolf directed by peter werner , and stars charlie sheen , d. b. sweeney and randy quaid .

the basic plotline ( undercover policeman falls in love with prime suspect 's sister and can not bring himself to make an arrest ) is frequently cited as inspiring the film the fast and the furious .

an early vehicle for charlie sheen , no man ' s land ( 1987 ) is one in a string of serious movie roles he took before venturing into more comedic roles from major league ( 1989 ) . . .
charlie , 51 , took to his instagram on thursday to share a throwback image from no man ' s land featuring a surprise appearance from brad pitt .
as for no man’s land ; i idolised that movie during the 1980’s , studying all the 911’s in the film . i always loved the early 911 that overtakes sweeney’s character on his way to his first day on the job as an under cover mechanic . take a look at it !
while sheen comes from hollywood pedigree , with his dad being martin sheen , he was still relatively new to the industry . he had appeared in red dawn and lucas , with a small cameo in ferris bueller’s day off , but he was still pretty obtainable for a film with a modest budget . the studio was able to lock him into no man’s land , but released the film in 1987 after another film charlie appeared in had already come out . that film was oliver stone’s platoon which launched sheen into superstardom , followed by stone’s wall street . had no man’s land not already been worked out prior to platoon , werner doubts they would have been able to get him for the role .
1987 porsche 911 , portrait of a legend , ( 3 . 2 and turbo )
' ' no man ' s land ' ' was shown as part of the 1985 new york film festival . following are excerpts from vincent canby ' s review , which appeared in the new york times oct . 5 , 1985 . the film opens today at the public theater , 425 lafayette street .
not for nothing is the film titled ' ' no man ' s land , ' ' which , of course , refers not only to the strip of land between the french and the swiss customs stations , through which the characters are constantly passing , but also to their states of mind .
a box office dud back in 1987 , no man ' s land is actually a very good crime drama / action movie that somehow never got the attention it deserved . it ' s an entertaining flick , with a strong cast and some good ol ' 80 ' s action that fans of that period of filmmaking should enjoy . recommended .
no man ' s land was apparently a major influence on at least the first the fast and the furious film and as such my reasoning for not having watched any of them yet seems even stronger . this is an absolute drag of a film that wrings almost no entertainment out of a plot that has been the centrepoint of many enjoyable films down the decades .
other features include audio commentary by steve mitchell , the producer / director of king cohen , and also with film historian nathanial thompson . there is also a series of trailers from kino lorber film releases . no man’s land is presented in color , 1 . 85 : 1 , and 1920x1080p . run time is 106 minutes .
it’s called freedom ( 1982 ) . another worthy australian film was “running on empty” .
director peter werner has largely been regulated in his career to being a director of television and the occasional television movie . before this , however , he headed up a feature film named no man’s land . this film was the story of an undercover cop who comes to like the criminal underworld he is supposed to be bringing down . in the wake of the gritty television series , miami vice , no man’s land tried to find a place in that vein . with a script from dick wolf , writer of television’s law & order and some episodes of miami vice even , they definitely had the foundation to accomplish this . with a strong cast , and some good timing , no man’s land was a modest success and today is a great time capsule into the look and feel of the excess of the 1980’s .
no man ' s land ( 1987 ) . charlie sheen , d . b . sweeney and randy quaid star in this full - throttle thriller about an undercover cop who ' s tempted to go bad when he enters the seductive , fast - and - furious world of the underworld kingpin he was sent to bust . also stars : lara harris , bill duke & m . emmet walsh . directed by peter werner . release date : october 23 , 1987
no man ' s land is no cinematic masterpiece , but it is surprising it didn ' t get at least a moderate reception at the box office in 1987 . it ' s also a bit shocking that it hasn ' t even really become much of a cult favorite over the years . but now might be the chance to change that . if you ' re a fan of 80 ' s action fare , give this one a look - it ' s worth your time .

modern audiences will of course look on the film’s aesthetic as “dated” , but no man’s land is a great time capsule of what the 1980’s looked and felt like . the fashions , cars , music , and vibe are all there . while it won’t be as iconic as miami vice , it is in that neighborhood in terms of how it captures the time it portrays .
no man ' s land was shot on 35mm film and is presented here in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1 . 85 : 1 . transfers are often hit or miss on kino lorber titles , since a huge percentage of the time ( read : almost always ) kino has to use the transfer provided by said studio , and has no say in its quality .
the film ' s plot is so merciless and meticulous that it has pertinent things to say about any institution ; it could be remade as a thriller about the corporate world . it ' s perhaps kubrick ' s definitive statement about how systems tend towards psychopathy ; where later , more

no man ' s land is the 80 ' s version of fast and furious , sure it looks a bit dated but it filled with action all the way . it ' s easy to see why charlie sheen was such a big star . the party scene with all the 80 ' s fashion dates but so what it ' s still a cool movie , lots of fun .

no man’s land features a charlie sheen when he was still young , and considered a serious dramatic actor . two years later , he would appear in major league and then do a series of comedies like hot shots , men at work , and his series spin city and two and a half men . while most know him , in more recent times , simply for his excessive life filled with strippers , playmates , tiger’s blood and # winning , and now tragically aids , sheen’s turn in no man’s land as a man fictionally living the type of life he would later be known for in real life , is an important part of seeing this film’s relevance 30 years later . also , look for a couple of brief glimpses of a very young brad pitt working as an extra in the scene .

kino lorber has given no man’s land the blu - ray treatment and features a blu - ray disc with several extras that make this a noteworthy purchase for fans of the film . featured in the kino lorber release are interviews with d . b . sweeney , and a separate interview with director peter werner . what you learn , especially from werner , is how timing played an important role in locking up charlie sheen into the role .
while not miami vice , this 1980’s film captures the times perfectly with a crime drama starring charlie sheen and d . b . sweeney .
basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …
a predictable but not - bad thriller that didn ' t do much business in the fall of 1987 but has some points of interest for something that ' s pretty much fallen through the cracks over the years .
if you like porsche cars and hate italian trash , then this is the film for you .
audio commentary by steven mitchell , producer – director king cohen & film historian nathaniel thompson - this was an interesting interview style commentary . obviously , thompson loves this film and loves the 80 ' s la setting . this film doesn ' t scream la to me , but it is interesting how he draws the setting out of the movie .
after various skirmishes , two wounded soldiers , one bosnian and one serb , confront each other in a trench in the no man ' s land between their lines . they wait for dark , trading insults and even finding some common ground ; sometimes one has the gun , sometimes the other , sometimes both . things get complicated when another wounded bosnian comes to , but can ' t move because a bouncing mine is beneath him . the two men cooperate to wave white flags , their lines call the un ( whose high command tries not to help ) , an english reporter shows up , a french sergeant shows courage , and the three men in no man ' s land may or may not find a way to all get along .
the only real giveaway is peter sellers ' s tour - de - force triple performance as british buffoon , american president and the titular germanic genius , which tips events into the farce promised by the film ' s ace subtitle . look closely – the character names ; those suggestive shots of mid - air refuelling – and it ' s obvious this is a film about sex . after all , what else are men to do but use their big weapons to overcompensate for sexual dysfunction ? no wonder the film culminates in the ultimate climax .

like many movies of its day , no man ' s land is elevated from typical movie fare by a strong supporting cast . not only do we get randy quaid as a police lieutenant , but there ' s also bill duke as the owner of the porsche shop , r . d . call as the leader of a rival car theft operation , an uncredited george dzundza as benjy ' s father , and the great m . emmet walsh ( of whom roger ebert once said ,
no movie with m . emmet walsh in a supporting role can be altogether bad
) in a cameo as a police captain . these actors come and go from the film , but make it immensely watchable .
watching the special features for no man ' s land , everyone involved talked about how they were so proud of this being a genre film , and how rare they are today . i agree , they are rare today . but there is a difference between a good or not so good genre film , and this is most definitely the latter . it ' s an archetype that other , better films used to greater success . d . b . sweeney seems like a down to earth guy who knows a great deal about the industry , but here he is so much younger , inexperienced , and it hurts the film because he is our guide into this world . honestly , i would have loved to see this world through ted ' s eyes . how interesting would it have been to see things through the criminal ' s point of view and seeing benjy ' s reveal as a cop to be a surprise . think of how different that would feel . unfortunately , that is not what we were given , and the quality of the disc isn ' t any great shakes either . if you are the one person who is pining for no man ' s land to finally hit blu - ray , then go for it . for everyone else , skip this limp installment of a genre that only gets better from here .
it ' s the most difficult film to place in the kubrick canon , given its initially hostile reception and its status as the great director ' s posthumous swansong . impossibly hyped at the time as an art - porn film starring hollywood ' s golden couple , tom cruise and nicole kidman , there was an inevitable groan of anticlimax at its frosty , remote lack of titillation .
the climax of the movie is fascinating , in the way it uses a really corrupt cop to create a situation in which the two friends are faced with the consequences of their actions . by the end of the film , sweeney and sheen both possess all of the facts , and in a way they both understand all of the facts . they think there must be a way they can work this thing out . but maybe there isn ' t . like the film noir thrillers of the 1940s ,
no man ' s land
is about ordinary people with flawed characters , who fall to temptation and pay for it .
no man ' s land
is better than the average thriller because it is interested in those moral questions - in the way money and beautiful women and fast cars look more exciting than good police work . the screenplay , by dick wolf , is subtle in the way it develops its temptations for sweeney . he is seduced by sheen ' s style and flash . and sheen creates his character as a very complicated young man . true , he ' s rich , and doesn ' t need to steal and kill . but like the members of that billionaire boy ' s club out in los angeles , he is attracted to risk . and eventually he gets way in over his head .
you ' re not going native , are you ?
he asks . he ' s right ; the kid hasn ' t been on the force long enough to develop good police instincts , and he falls under the influence of the charismatic sheen . that leads him into a no man ' s land , halfway between the criminals and the law , and as he tries to do the right thing and juggle his conflicting loyalties , a tragic situation begins to develop .

no man ' s land hits the gas and blows a gasket on blu - ray with a 1080p mpeg - 4 avc encode that simply feels inconsistent and a bit lackluster . take clarity , for instance . on one hand , we have daytime close ups , which are reasonably well done with a decent amount of clarity and detail , while wider , more establishing shots appear to be murky with very little of that same clarity and detail .

as such , the film is very calculated in its shock value and sermonising ; you might say its neatly circular narrative runs like clockwork . it speaks volumes that the film ' s definitive image ( mcdowell , eyes agape at the terrors he ' s forced to watch but unable to look away ) came to pass . while mcdowell was nearly blinded for art , the rest of us had the option to close our eyes until kubrick made the switch from anarchist to authoritarian by withdrawing the film and removing our free will .
built in the early 1950s in the middle east by the united nations , aqabat - jaber , located on the dead sea in the valley of jericho , is one of the many refugee camps destined to shelter the palestinians driven away from their native villages by the israeli army . the majority of the 65 , 000 people living in the camp were inhabitants of the villages of central palestine destroyed in 1948 . the 1967 war forced the biggest part of the refugees ( some estimate a rate of 95 % ) across the banks of the river jordan . nurtured on the hope of going back one day to the land of their ancestors , the people in aqabat - jaber live in a no man’s land that looks like a ghost town . filmed in 1987 , a mere few months before the first intifada – the palestinian uprising in the west bank and the gaza strip – broke out ,

but little did he know that an extra on his film would go on to be one of the most famous actors in hollywood .
love cars , love porsche ' s then you will love this film , db sweeney and charlie sheen are great , the car chases are great , one of the stunts with a car going through a lorry was at the time of filming so good it gained an award and there is no blue screen filming at all everything is real and it shows . if you love cars , and a little romance as well , then this is for you , no its not a block buster , but then it wasnt meant to be , its just a great film about the best cars in the world - porsche ' s - what more is there to say .
it ' s apt that a film best known for its cry of solidarity –
i ' m spartacus !
– should be attached to kubrick ' s least typical film , made within the hollywood system at the behest of star / producer kirk douglas . inevitably , kubrick would later disown spartacus as hackwork , but it remains proof that he could handle a big budget and deliver a hit movie without dumbing down .

nowadays , though , the film ' s slow - burning tantric qualities are beginning to assert themselves . hypnotically slow , strange and sometimes ( deliberately ) silly , it is unmistakably kubrickian , but this old master offers as satirical a vision as the same year ' s youthful fight club .
how many talented actors does it take to steal a porsche ? and how many times do you want to watch them do it in the space of an hour and a half ? in ' ' no man ' s land , ' ' it takes two - charlie sheen and d . b . sweeney , who pilfer porsches faster and more often than you can say ' ' miami vice clone . ' ' though set in los angeles , the film has a familiar , television look and feel - two handsome partners , cops , criminals , fast cars and a marginal romance . the twist in the buddy - car - chase formula is that here the good guys tend to blur into the bad .
by 1987 , everybody had done their vietnam movie – and stanley kubrick had covered warfare from ww1 to the napoleonic wars . so full metal jacket is different ; a radical work structurally and aesthetically , which emphasises the madness of military training over the chaos of combat .

it would work brilliantly as a serious film ; indeed , sidney lumet ' s fail - safe , released shortly afterwards , achieved exactly that . yet strangelove remains mesmerisingly wrong , achieving a crackle of lunacy via ken adam ' s lavish , hyperreal sets , reportage - style shooting and editing that rivals any conventional thriller .
kino lorber trots no man ' s land onto blu - ray with a dts - hd ma 2 . 0 track that requires very little effort . this is a stereotypical 80 ' s flick , with fast cars and cheesy music , and i wanted to immerse myself in that cheesy deliciousness . unfortunately , that is not what we are given , and it leaves quite a bit to be desired . sure , dialogue is clear and audible , and speaker separation is fine , but i have come to expect more in 2017 . i have reviewed a whole slew of audio mixes like this with a lazy 2 . 0 track , but i think this is the most recent film to get the treatment . it wouldn’t have been difficult to give us at least a 5 . 1 track here , and for that , i can ' t help being more than a little underwhelmed .
the pair become fast friends and over time taylor starts idolizing both varrick and his new life as a car thief , not to mention the extras that accompany it including spending time with varrick’s sister . the line between upholding the law and crossing it into the underworld subculture soon become very blurred , when taylor finds himself in his own no man’s land considering just what side he should be on . that being said , the whole plot is a pretty classic , but well worn one since the beginning of storytelling time , that of the outsider seduced by a subculture . fast cars , fine women , over - priviledged kids , and cops crossing over the thin blue line are at their cliched best . and probably not treated as well again until the fast and the furious , which almost seems to be a clone of this film , only substituting japanese hondas and toyotas for german porsches .
this is the greatest late - 80 ' s car - chase movie ever . with sheen in his heyday , and other classic elements that made this movie thee porsche movie of all time . the chases were not clumsy miami vice style don ' t - hurt - the - ferrari fare , but intense , throttle & corner ; , jumping , flying and ramming with the sweetest porsches of the 80 ' s . add the backdrop of

more clearly than any later film , the inky weegee - inspired visuals display the director ' s roots in photography , while the location filming on the streets of new york offers the last chance to see the director working in his birthplace before his travels began .
no man ' s land benjy taylor ( d . b . sweeney ) is a rookie cop who goes undercover to nab a gang of car thieves in this routine crime drama . taylor salivates over the lifestyle and money enjoyed by ted varrick ( charlie sheen ) , the smooth operator who leads the porsche pilferers , and he reports back to lieutenant vincent bracey ( randy quaid ) , who is convinced ted is a cop killer but needs more proof . taylor joins the gang and begins to justify car theft and the money it brings as gathering evidence . soon his reasoning is clouded and the rookie cop gets in deeper when he actually begins to like ted and the suspect ' s sultry sister ann ( lara harris ) . ~ dan pavlides , rovi

, alain tanner ' s third film is inspired by a poet and a poetic text which deeply affected him as a young director .
released in 1987 and starring charlie sheen , the storyline is one that has been imitated in other films such as point break and fast and the furious . a cop goes undercover to catch a bad guy and becomes seduced by the lifestyle . i’ve seen it many times but it still holds up after all these years .

in other words , 49 years since its release and 18 since its maker passed away , this is one puzzle that still invites solving – playful , preposterous and pioneering . whatever you think of the film ' s wtf ending , this was never about the destination but the journey , as indeed was kubrick ' s whole career : an attempt to reshape cinema at every turn .

the good news is that this is a pretty solid transfer . there ' s still a lot of dirt and debris on the print ( particularly during the opening credits ) , but color reproduction is great , details are impressive throughout , and there ' s still a healthy amount of grain on the print , an indication that any dnr use on the image was mild , at best . black levels are far from inky - deep , but they ' re good enough that shadow delineation and noise aren ' t issues in the dark and / or nighttime sequences of the film . this is by no means a fantastic transfer , but as kino lorber releases go , this is one of the better ones i ' ve seen and viewers should have no major complaints .
though randy quaid , as benjy ' s boss , gives a perfunctory lecture about the difference between right and wrong , the film ' s heart is clearly with the enticing ted . as he drives off in a porsche owned by someone with hopeless , easy - listening taste in music , he tosses a jack jones cassette out the window and says , ' ' they deserve it . ' '
it is impossible to separate a clockwork orange from the furore that erupted upon its release and kubrick ' s subsequent decision to withdraw the film from circulation , at least in britain . the notoriety has made this a transgressive classic , but it has to be said the unavailability certainly helped its reputation .

and who is his more charismatic but criminal counterpart ? who is the patrick swayze to sweeney’s keanu ? charlie sheen is ted varrick , the leader of our carjacking gang , and i have to say he does a pretty damn good job selling this here . in this role , you see why he was so highly regarded when he was younger , because at the time he actually brought a lot to his roles . he is the only actor in no man ' s land who has any onscreen presence . if stealing dvd players was a ridiculous criminal act for vin diesel , then a garage owner by day , carjacker by night is equally ridiculous for sheen . but like diesel , sheen handles the material with heft and charisma . sheen carries the relationship of ted and benjy on his back , and it seems a little more believable when they are sharing the screen together .

d . b . sweeney plays our lead protagonist as the incredibly bland benjy tayler . he ' s a cop that happens to know everything about cars , so he is a perfect choice to take down a gang of mechanics who boost cars in their spare time . if that seems like a silly version of a popular plot device , don’t worry , that is the least of the problems here . sweeney doesn’t have the presence of a keanu or even paul walker , and that is saying something . though he is still working in the industry today , he has the screen presence of a block of wood here . absolutely nothing that happens in no man ' s land causes sweeney to let go of the soulless look on his face . at this point in his career , sweeney should be playing a couch potato smoking a dooby , not in this role , to the detriment of the movie .

59 according to ewelina nurczyńska - fidelska ( op . cit . , pp . 118 - 126 ) the entire film was based on the convention of a romantic thriller with elements of gangster cinema . the author recognises in the film archetypical protagonists of this narration : a gangster and his gang ( karol , moryc , maks ) , usurer ( wilczek ) , assassin ( bum - bum ) , femme fatale ( lucy zucker ) and lyrical beauty ( anka ) .

the only audio track ( other than the commentary track ) on this release is an english 2 . 0 dts - hd master audio track , and it ' s surprisingly decent given the stereo limitations . there ' s a good amount of separation and distinctness between the two speakers , with a lot of back and forth playfulness with both the movie ' s synthesized soundtrack ( by composer basil poledouris ) and with some gunplay that takes place in the movie . dialogue is clear ( if not always crisp ) , and viewers / listeners should have no issues discerning the spoken word . all in all , a solid aural presentation .

in his third film , kubrick established himself as a vital new voice in cinema – and given how epic his running times would become , the killing ' s leanness remains startling . this tale of a daring racetrack robbery is noir stripped to the bone : a terse , tense heist picture defined by the fatalism of its looping chronology , forever repeating the action until the characters become trapped in the grooves .

if you like films like gone in sixty seconds and the fast and the furious you will love this classic 80s film . the plot in a nutshell is charlie sheen is a guy who runs a porsche garage and steals them to add to his collection and wealthy and extravagant lifestyle . he unknowlingly befriends an under cover cop who takes up a role fixing porsches in sheen ' s garage to get closer to sheen . the friendship grows but the cop must take sheen down . full of drama and a great chase scene this film is very watchable . although the porsches are very dated by today ' s standards that doesn ' t matter if you are a sports car fan as they still look good and if you are a porsche fan too . good picture and sound quality from this dvd recording . well worth buying in my opinion .

37 this mechanism was characterised by christopher caes , analysing speed : when women appear in the film or when somebody talks about them , they perform a specific function , namely their presence or just a mention about them arouses male desire but then they disappear quickly or their absence is strongly underlined , depriving the desire , already aroused , of its traditional object ( widowiska katastroficzne : trauma historyczna i męska podmiotowość we wczesnych filmach andrzeja wajdy , trans . ch . caes , z . batko , in : filmowy świat andrzeja wajdy , ed . e . nurczyńska - fidelska , p . sitarski , universitas , kraków 2003 , p . 149 ) . in wajda’s work this mechanism may be seen not only in speed , but also in other films , including the promised land .

in a decision that would define his subsequent career , kubrick insisted on shooting this very american road movie entirely in england , a flaw that the film never quite overcomes . nonetheless , it ' s a squirm - inducing comedy of cringe , with a never - better james mason locating the pathos in

kung fu fighter

kung fu fighter apes kung fu hustle for no obvious reason other than to make some ancillary dough . too bad the movie is so dull .

he simply confused the name like anyone else would . there is no evidence that he actually learned kung fu , and his moves are not kung fu . his kung fu is shit .
portland ' s kung fu theater visits the grand illusion to present an old school kung fu double feature ! rare 35mm prints of two of the greatest kung fu films of all time . kung fu theater organizer dan halsted will be on hand to introduce both films .
this is a problematic answer to assert , because you are correcting usage of kung fu based on what seems to be an incorrect usage of kung fu .
in this video we get to see how it plays out – a drunken kung fu practitioner takes on a mma fighter and it is actually quite competitive while it lasts . though the mma fighter looks pretty green , it is still quite impressive to see a kung fu guy hang with modern mma on any level .
+ 1 for your second point , never knew that . a semantic question then : you couldn ' t literally
know
kung fu then , yeah ? like you said , you ' d have to assume they know the art of kung fu . . . if i learned to fly a fighter jet , which requires patience , energy , and time , how would you use the phrase ? i learned to fly a jet
through
kung fu ? or , as the wiki mentions ,
i have kung fu in piloting fighter jets
?
though the drunken kung fu guy does not end up winning , his performance was nonetheless impressive . mma fighters usually make quick work out of kung fu guys so he didn’t do too bad here considering .
@ sgroves so he ' s using actual kung fu . funny , doesn ' t look like it at all .

aicha , a high - school student , is a passionate kung fu fighter . her turkish parents expect her to get good grades so she can get into medical school , like her brother ali . but school doesn ' t inspire her . defying her family , aicha starts secretly training at a professional , co - ed kung fu club . a boy , emil , helps aicha train for the club championship and they fall in love . but the rules of life are not as simple as the rules of kung fu , and aicha is forced to decide who she is and what she wants .
user3347790 ' s answer completes this one . time taken to learn various forms of martial arts and then the very meaning of kung fu ! you guys are awesome .
a martial arts expert unleashed a flurry of kung fu kicks and punches in a fight with two men - leaving one ko ' d on the ground infront of shocked onlookers .
second - the phrase
kung fu
is a chinese term that refers to to any study , learning , or practice that requires patience , energy , and time to complete . it ' s not even specific to martial arts . the chinese term for martial art is wushu . however , i suspect the wachowskis knew exactly what
kung fu
means and that neo had learned many , and possibly all , arts . thus when i heard
i know kung fu
i assumed neo meant it in the most general sense and that his art was all arts .
it ' s not entirely clear how gremmler made the visualization , or exactly which styles of kung fu we ' re looking at , but it looks like he used some sort of motion - capture system to record and distill a martial artist ' s movements . you can see how the shape of the art changes when the fighter is holding a spear or a trident .
in the matrix , neo starts off by asking if he ' s going to learn
jujitsu
. once he ' s done he wakes up and says
i know kung fu
.
early on we see the kung fu guy is able to work his way out of an arm bar , much to the crowd’s delight . also , his unorthodox movements seem to be present some different problems for his opponent over the course of this bout .
drunken kung fu is a style of chinese martial arts that imitate the movements of a drunkard . now , the main advantage of this style is in it’s unpredictability as well as it’s ability to disguise attack . but how would it do against a modern mma practitioner ?
at 1 : 03 . so , there was a 10 hours gap between when neo started with jujitsu till when morpheus arrived . thus he knew kung fu too . rather it was the latest knowledge downloaded , so he referred to it . it is not a goof up .
at 0 : 47 of that video , the computer screen shows a whole bunch of different martial arts which get uploaded into neo ' s brain . so he doesn ' t just learn jujitzu but a whole bunch of martial arts . kung fu is the last one he learns .
different styles of martial arts have different
shapes
. whereas japanese martial arts are often characterized by linear movements , chinese kung fu styles tend to derive power from circles . the latter becomes pretty obvious in this visualization from tobias gremmler , a designer based in hong kong and shanghai .
it ' s a common mistake for non - practicers of a material art to confuse one art form for another . people routinely call all sorts of different styles kung fu just some people ( older people ) call all video game systems
nintendo
, all mp3 players ipods , cell phones iphones , etc .

the video title makes reference to the mma guy being a ‘pankration’ practitioner but that is most likely referring to a style of mma ( as seen employed by mma trainer matt hume ) and not the ancient greek martial art .
zui quan ( drunken fist ) is a general name for all the styles of chinese martial arts that imitate a drunkard . it is an ancient style and its origins are mainly traced back to the famous buddhist and daoist sects . the buddhist style is related to the shaolin temple while the daoist style is based on the daoist tale of the drunken eight immortals . zui quan has the most unusual body movements among all styles of chinese martial arts . hitting , grappling , locking , dodging , feinting , ground and aerial fighting and all other sophisticated methods of combat are incorporated .

the sandstone in zion is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet . holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon . after a heavy storm the rock will remain wet , sometimes for several days . please do not climb in zion during or after rain . a good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp ( and not powdery dry sand ) , then do not climb . there are many alternatives ( limestone , granite , basalt , and plastic ) nearby .
p1 - climb a handcrack up the right - hand side of a small tower to a bolted belay . ( 5 . 9 ~ 75 ' ) p2 - climb out the blocky roofs and into a steep , big - hands to fist splitter finishing at a hanging bolted belay . this is a great pitch . ( 5 . 11 - ~ 100 ' ) p3 - climb the crack to below the roof . traverse right into a pod , pull out of the pod and continue through a small roof to a bolted belay . ( 5 . 9 + ~ 100 ' ) p4 - climb out the steep offwidth on kinda gnarly rock , continue up cracks / face on rock that looses quality to the top of the formation . this is the only junky pitch on the route . ( 5 . 10 ~ 175 ' ) descent - rappel the route with ( 2 ) 60m ropes .
the long corner that arches right into a roof . it is the most obvious feature in the area . starts on the right - side of a small tower .
the first three pitches of this climb are super . the last one is kinda junky , the rock turns to consolidated brown sugar , but adds to the zion flavor . i guess you could just rap off from atop p3 if you really don ' t want to do it . a good short day route .
you can now rap from the top of pitch 3 with one rope , rappelling down operation condor . there are chains equipped for this to be a standard single rope rap route .
pitch 2 keeps coming at you . my pro for the pitch was 2 # 5 ( one down low , one up high ) , 2 # 4 , 1 # 3 . 5 ( or two if you have them ) , and 3 - 4 # 3 . there is horizontal crack half way up that takes a . 75
if i were to climb this again , i ' d probably just take 1 rope and bail at the top of the 2nd pitch . the 2nd pitch is really what this route is all about !

both forms of martial art are quite different and come from two different countries . why does neo start learning one but come out saying he knows the other ? it ' s unlikely that the wachowskis would goof up the editing in this scene , but did they ?
and given that it takes around 3 seconds to learn how to fly a helicopter in combat conditions , 10 hours is a considerable amount of time .
first - watch the video that sudip biswas linked to . starting at the 47 second mark it ' s showing various martial arts being downloaded into neo . in rapid sucession we see ju jitsu , kempo , tae kwon do , drunken boxing , and there ' s one more that fades out as the scene switches .
neo , whom unlike others who learn a martial art the right way , through years of training of both the style and way of thinking , was gifted the skills like a cheat code . he does not have the mental train of thought that the art form gives , no respect for it .
