having been released in the united states as the legend of drunken master , i hadn’t known that 1994’s drunken master ii was the second in the series until a few years ago . needing to revisit the that film , i can’t speak to which i prefer or which is better , but i can say that i truly appreciated where the concept began when i had the opportunity to experience 1978’s original drunken master . ( editor’s note : despite its title , drunken master ii is not an in - continuity sequel , but a return and expansion to the same concept ) .

in “drunken master ii” , each fight scene has a fluid rhythm , and for the drunken boxing scenes , we are treated to a fighting style that is quite unique and different to other martial arts movies . watching jackie perform each sequence is like watching gene kelly dance at his peak . jackie hadn’t performed traditional kung fu to such an extent since 1982’s “dragon lord” , and when you first see “drunken master ii” , it doesn’t just hark back to the old school , it sets a new benchmark .

i love jackie chan and the drunken master movies . i originally saw drunken master ii a few years prior to its american re - release as legend of the drunken master ( the version i saw was released by tai seng , i believe ) and when i watched legend in the theater , i couldn ' t understand why they cut the very end of the movie out . there was a whole scene afterward where jackie has gone cuckoo from drinking the industrial alcohol . it was pretty much jackie clowning around , but , when i finally wanted to buy the movie for my collection , all i could find was the edited , americanized legend of drunken master . this release is the original drunken master ii and this dvd , while not as high quality as the legend dvd , is still very good . a must for chan fans .

subverting generic convention , however , is possibly more imperative than merely demonstrating established generic norms , and chan consciously undermines the previous on - screen iterations and the legend of wong fei - hung as well as typical representations of the hegemonic masculine kung fu hero ( szeto , pp . 113 ) through drunken master ii ’s narrative and performance .
drunken master ii marks a period in chan’s career where he is moving from the cult and slightly obscure with his early films that “became cults almost uniquely as a results of their western reception within already cultified networks” ( mathijs , pp . 122 ) and into global and mainstream success with rush hour ( 1998 ) on the horizon . if chan’s early cult successes would have “offended guardians of taste” ( bordwell , p . 54 ) , his films following drunken master ii , ( the global hits and transference to america ) would lift him out of the cultist area that kung fu movies first derived from to transcend “local and regional differences” ( shu , pp . 59 ) . in conclusion

i say one of the best action films ever made because like buster keaton , fred astaire and gene kelly , jackie chan is actually doing this stuff himself . the legend of drunken master or drunken master 2 is a non stop action movie and a comedy along the same lines as buster keaton ' s classic the general . the part where jackie chan falls into a pit of hot coals , that is all real , jackie actually had that sequence filmed three times , on the third time burning his arms and still having those scars today . all that and he played this part at 40 yrs old , pulling off a role of a 20 yr old convincingly . another film i enjoyed that was influenced a great deal by drunken master 2 was kung fu hustle ( widescreen edition ) even naming the gang in it the
axe gang

is “drunken master ii” jackie chan’s best film ? it’s a tough question to answer , and i am sure it is at the top of many fans’ lists . the plot line is pretty thin , and much of the humour , especially to a non - chinese audience , is pretty broad . there are some of the usual jackie chan stunt team high falls and flips , but they are easily put in the shade when compared to films like “armour of god” or “police story” .
the time periods in which drunken master ii was produced and is set are of critical importance in relation to the kung fu genre . chan’s film , “made ten years after the joint declaration in 1984” ( szeto , pp . 118 ) and three years preceding 1997 , a date that signalled the end of british colonial rule over hong kong , have a great effect on the narrative and characterisation within the film . at a time of great change for hong kong during the film’s production , chan uses a story set in the early imperialist 1900s to both mirror ideas of nationhood and “chineseness” ( szeto , pp . 120 - 1 ) and simultaneously enforce ideas of multiculturalism ( shu , pp . 50 ) . this mirrors chan’s globalised star status and his role as a tourist ambassador in providing positive representations of hong kong . drunken master ii thus revisits a british imperial setting in a dissimilar manner to that of , for example , bruce lee’s fist of fury ( 1972 ) .

from a land where honor and tradition reign , comes the legend of a martial - arts hero unlike any other - - the
drunken master
- - who can turn just one drink into devastation and humiliation for his enemies . his technique is fast , furious . . . and powerfully funny .
the good parts : cinematography , sets , locations are very beautiful . some fights have very good parts ( though nothing comes close to chan ' s drunken master 2 in fight quality ) . story was actually decent for a martial arts movie . the beautiful asian women . zhang ziyi is a stunner .
in fact , the only connection with the 1978 “drunken master” ( aka “drunk monkey in the tiger’s eyes” ) is the name of chan’s character , legendary cantonese martial artist wong fei - hung , recently disinterred in a string of jet lee / tsui hark pix . original , made by ng see - yuen’s seasonal corp . , was a low - tech comedy actioner with chan playing pupil to a “drunken fist” master . present item , partly shot in mainland china , is given the whole golden harvest production values , plus a bevy of stars led by songstress anita mui and veteran m . a . star ti lung .
ahhh shit ! my favorite movie of all time , undisputed ! i remember reading a little kung fu newsletter back in the day called
way of the fist
. . . funny i never got anything else from them . . anyway ! the letter had a jackie chan discography , and i remember seeing
drunken master
and
drunken master 2
on there . . i thought immediately ,
i bet that shit is dope !
it had been a long time after that , and my sister was reading the movie section of the newspaper , and said they were showing drunken master 2 at this dollar theater ! i freaked out of course , never seeing it . turns out , it was some sort of a benefit , and even though it was at a dollar theater , it costed six bucks . after seeing it , i would have paid sixty bucks had i known how great this movie was ( and is ) ! fucking amazing , on the big screen and all . . .
tech credits are all fine and , as usual in chan movies , the end - title crawl includes botched takes , including some dangerous fire stunts in the smeltery finale . though vet action director lau kar - leung ( aka liu chia - liang ) left the pic after a dispute with chan , he still cops the main directing credit . chinese title literally means “drunken fist ii , ” referring to a style of fighting .
jackie chan’s follow up to the 1978 kung fu comedy drunken master allows for critical analysis of the genre and its place in cult and exploitation cinema . of major significance is chan’s unconventional representation of the chinese cultural legend wong fei - hung ( teo : 2009 , pp . 61 ) that correlates to other subversions of generic conventions in chan’s film , such as nationalism ( szeto : 2011 , pp . 120 ) and masculine hard bodies ( shu : 2003 , pp . 51 ) . though a colonial discourse is evident within drunken master ii , the politics are less overt when compared to the films of bruce lee ( szeto , pp . 51 ) , thus reflecting chan’s ability as a transnational star to embody and combine “chinese traditions and western tastes” ( bordwell : 2011 , pp . 20 ) , reaching a global audience through a kinetic genre that defies language and national boundaries . generic conventions and subversions : wong fei - hung and masculinity
here we’re treated to the story of the young troublemaker , wong ( chan ) . after a series of fun , stupid decisions that piss a lot of people off , wong is signed up by his father to train with the most intense and rigorous master . he runs away , but is ultimately found , and the training begins . of course , before the training is through , he is forced to go back and defend his father from a deadly master . wong’s master tells him that he knows all he needs and can combine the styles his was taught to develop his own style . he uses this style , dubbed drunken miss ho , to defeat the attacker and save his family .

jackie chan was taking a bit of a risk returning to the traditional style of kung fu film that had established him as a star some sixteen years earlier . in the early nineties , the “new wave” of wuxia ( martial hero ) films , epitomised by the “once upon a time in china” series , were the most popular martial arts movies . his film immediately preceding this one was the tough and serious action drama “crime story” . for the action in “drunken master ii” , jackie wanted to return to traditional choreography and his trademark comedy . to that effect , he recruited the shaw brothers legend lau kar leung to direct the movie .
( 1994 ) is an iconic if not quite typical jackie chan vehicle from his middle period , between the early days when he was unwisely fashioned as a successor to bruce lee ' s throne and prior to his homogenized , generally disappointing hollywood career . originally released as 醉拳 ii (
this is probably jackie ' s best film ever . everyone says that . i ' m going to tell you why : fighting , fighting , fighting , beer , fighting , wine , fighting , swords , fighting , coals , fighting , mass destruction caused by simply bare hands , fighting , fighting , and more fighting . if you ' ve seen some old kung - fu movies ( like drunken master i ) , you ' ll know that they usually have loads of fighting in them . but cinematogrophy was not what is was today , and they don ' t look quite as real as they should have . consequently , movies like rumble , supercop , and etc . seem to have incredible fighting action . drunken master ii , though , takes fighting to a new level . filmed at the end of the 90 ' s kung - fu craze started by jet li , and directedt by shaw rothers kung - fu veteran lau kar leung , drunken master contains fighting beyond worth of any kung - fu flick , and with cinematogrophy to match it . jackie continues his modern tradition of crazy stunts . i really don ' t know how he can do all the crap he does , but hey , he ' s jackie chan . anyway , just to add to all the coolness , this film features drunken boxing as the martial art of choice . it does a poor job of introducing the art , so hopefully you ' ve seen dmi . but if not , youl ' ll still have lots to enjoy . god bless you and your wonderful films , jackie chan .
in most of these films , chan plays reluctant students who excel at kung fu in spite of themselves . with the exception of dragon lord , they all feature scenes that display chan ' s physical prowess in training as well as combat . the chan character is repeatedly tortured by eccentric masters ( exemplified by the
drunken master
played by simon yuen in drunken master and snake in the eagle ' s shadow ) , who casually drink or smoke while chan sweats blood and plots to escape from kung - fu practice . set in the past , all these films make use of traditional costumes and weaponry as well as such chinese arts as lion dancing and calligraphy , and allude to ( indeed mildly satirize ) established chinese customs and institutions . in drunken master , for example , chan portrays a young , impudent and impulsive huang fei - hong , in sharp contrast to jet li ' s more sober portrayal of the same folk hero in the once upon a time in china series . scenes with expressly chinese content , however , might explain the cool reception chan has been given outside the asian community in the west .
credited with being the film that broke chan into true stardom , drunken master almost tripled the box office of snake in the eagle’s shadow . it’s routinely included in top 5 and top 10 lists for kung fu and martial arts films . it’s also credited with being the first film where chan’s comedic kung fu style was fully developed . the film has been often imitated , as well .
it is evident that drunken master ii both employs and subverts many of the conventions of the kung - fu genre . with the addition of comedy , chan breaks the mould concerning representations of wong fei - hung , of masculinity and of colonial discourse while keeping with the stylised techniques of kung - fu filmmaking . though the narrative and character of the film is displaced , it manages to remain recognisably kung - fu in genre with its identifiable cinematographic techniques ( bordwell , pp . 80 ) and its carnival excess ( farquhar , pp . 142 ) , among a sizeable host of other predominantly kung - fu movie routines . the 1994 film and star appeals to a variety of audiences through its many subversions and displacements of generic norms , making for a vivacious piece of entertainment that offers “an exit out of suffocating cultural routines” ( mathijs & sexton , pp . 130 ) via what chan terms an international body language ( szeto , pp . 123 ) . finally , it is indisputable that drunken master ii ’s place within the kung - fu genre is an important one , in that chan ( as a filmmaker and kung - fu action star ) and his film ( as a sub - genre of kung - fu movies ) clearly and consciously features an inner dialogue between related films of the genre itself , playing with and embracing what it means to be a kung - fu movie .
in the 1980s , chan chose vague , generic film titles such as project a and police story so as not to give the plots of the films away prior to their release . it was felt that the titles of previous chan films such as snake in the eagle ' s shadow and drunken master gave too much away about the kung fu style they featured - snake style and drunken fist respectively . project a was originally going to be titled pirate patrol but it was feared that once announced , other hong kong film producers would rush to copy and release films featuring pirates . [ 1 ]
moreover , in regards to transnationalism , though it could be argued that western audiences may find many hong kong comedy difficult to fully understand and appreciate ( kwok , pp . 24 ) , it is clear drunken master ii achieves global comic understanding . throughout the film , chan exaggerates drunkenness for comical effect alongside hyperbolic facial expressions . the scene in which he must distract his father in order to replace a customer’s ginseng with the root of a bonsai tree is easily understood as a comic mishap across cultures , and an earlier scene in which his friend , tso , is hit in the face by a ball embodies elements of slapstick comedy that has been likened to the silent era of hollywood comedy on numerous occasions .
where there will be blood transmuted sullen earth into flame and launched it violently skyward , the master is , as its opening shot advertises , a more fluid undertaking , a story of ebb and flow .

as a sequel , drunken master 2 couldn ' t have been more different from the original . it was produced on a huge budget and filmed in mainland locations . it was also co - directed ( with chan ) by legendary shaw bros . figure lau kar - leung ( eight diagram pole fighter , tiger on the beat ) . drunken master 2 was the most eagerly awaited chinese film of the 1990s . what began as a dream production soon devolved into a nightmare film shoot . jackie and lau kar - leung had a stormy relationship from day one ; lau kar - leung eventually leaving the film and describing his time with chan as being like :

. there were even fears that the movie ' s financial backer , the great golden harvest company , was becoming destabilised by this ongoing , blighted film production .
a wondrous comedic kung fu film with modern efforts to make one of the greatest kung fu movies ever . jackie chan once again as wong fei huang a famous chinese folk hero , who uses his drunken boxing to fight off greedy british imperialists . the best choreographed film iõve seen jackie do ( or at least one of them ) , a crazy restaurant scene with the
ax gang
and jackie getting a little tipsy with the industrial alcohol . ken lo as the villain was great , his kickboxing was incredible , and there is plenty drunken boxing for all those who enjoy that . the soundtrack was really good too i enjoyed the song at the end that jackie sang . there were i noticed great similarity in this film and young master , there are certain moves he used during the end that jackie used on the other leg fighter in young master . the is one scene when jackie has ken lo on his back , and then drops him into a crate . this was also done in young master ( except not into a crate . ) . one of jackies best .
the star’s blend of boyish charm , comic timing and acrobatic skills are undiminished , and chan is now confident enough to keep his action guns in their holster until a “drunken fist” set - piece some 30 minutes in .
this film was introduced to my household when it was recommended to my daughter brittany by a member of her soccer team ( whom the court has ordered me not to name ) . as i understand it , many ( sick ) people feel that
drunken master 2
deserves an honorable place in the pages of cinematic history , but after watching the aforementioned display of gratuitous fisticuffs and substance abuse , i decided that the only place it had in my childrens ' lives was in the garbage can . i ' m writing a letter to the inividuals in this
honk kong
who are responsible for trashy films like
drunken master 2
, and i have asked all my colleagues in the pta to do the same . furthermore , i positively encourage all responsible parents whose hard - earned familial harmony has been violated by these filthy
honk kong
films to strictly forbid -
though hardly likely to score a staggering b . o . upset ,
the legend of drunken master
could attract a wider aud than previous
americanized
versions of jackie chan ' s hong kong - produced hits . unlike
operation condor ,
twin dragons
and other recent english - dubbed imports top - lining the acrobatic and charismatic superstar , pic is a lavishly produced period piece that emphasizes hand - to - hand combat more than death - defying stunt work . the extended fight scenes - - justly hailed by aficionados as classics of the genre - - have earned an r rating for the dimension films release , limiting access for chan ' s younger fans . even so , with nothing else remotely like it in the current megaplex marketplace ,
drunken master
is well positioned to slake the thirst of action fans for world - class , slam - bang rough stuff .
in the early 1990s , chan broadened his cinematic range , turning in a rare dramatic performance in the melodramatic crime story ( 1993 ) . he also made several sequels to his hits police story and drunken master . chan was still mostly unknown in the united states by this point , but his profile experienced a meteoric rise during the mid - 1990s , when a series of events combined to bring him to the attention of a wider american audience .
nitpickers might complain that chan , who was 40 when “drunken master” was filmed , is at least 10 or 15 years too old to be completely believable as the ingenuously rambunctious fei - hung . ( it doesn’t help much that co - star ti lung appears only slightly older than his “son . ” ) but never mind : chan is so exuberantly appealing — and , more important , so physically formidable — that he transcends any calendar - related quibbles .
the two films are tonally similar , mixing phenomenal martial arts choreography with unique comic stylings . 1977’s snake in the eagle’s shadow ushered in an era in which a specific type of kung fu film was born . while it seems , based on my research and the films i have seen , that drunken master really solidified this tone , there is certainly a turn away from the repetitive tone of what the kung fu genre had become by the mid to late 70s . in the film , chan plays the part of a foolish and dim young man who becomes the village idiot , of sorts . he has all types of god - given martial arts talent but is picked on routinely without standing up for himself , until one kindly old master in town takes him under his wing . he begins to learn the “snake fist” fighting style from his master , but soon must feud with several “bad guys” who practice the “eagle claw” fighting style .
this is the original , uncut version which first played in melbourne ' s capitol theatre in february ' 94 . it ' s nearly impossible to find this version on dvd or vcd - with english subtitles . two years ' ago , dm # 2 was released theatrically in america in an edited and dubbed form under the title : the legend of the drunken master . in this particular case , i have no hesitation in saying the original dm # 2 is the best !
awesome movie ! totally awesome fights ! ken lo owned the * * * * out of this movie . his final fight against jackie is awesome . jackie plays wfh ( the often portrayed wong fei hung ) , a martial artist of great skill and also a drunken boxer . his father , also a master , dislikes drunken boxing . the plot of this movie isn ' t all that bad , but you watch it for the action anyways and there ' s plenty to go around and it ' s simply astounding ! it ' s a classical jackie movie , with some silly moments and prop using during the fights , wicked stunts ( some of which are ( naturally ) really dangerous ) and brilliantly choreographed combat !
ass kicks you : fei - hung ' s interpretation of
drunken miss ho
involves hip - checks to unbalance the opponent ; he even tries an ass - drop attack on yan ti san , but yan manages to dodge it .
chan takes established generic conventions used in previous kung fu pictures , and uses them to both reinforce and subvert the genre . exemplified in the reinforcement of generic kung fu convention is what bordwell terms the “pause / burst / pause” structure ( bordwell , pp . 142 ) , which is used for comic effect during the large scale fight with the axe gang ; following a highly energetic fight , all diegetic sound and action stops when chan becomes stuck inside a table . the short pause inserts humor into an otherwise stylized and fairly violent fight sequence . chan’s film also utilizes slow motion ( bordwell , pp . 8 ) as a cinematographic staple of the genre in many instances , notably when drunken fighting is first introduced accompanied by its leitmotif . on the surface , it is evident that the film stylistically embodies virtues of the kung fu genre , and as bordwell notes , “conventions are enabling , ” familiar and novel ( bordwell , pp . 93 ) . audiences recognise drunken master ii ’s genre immediately , not just for its cultural ties and national settings , but for its revelling in tried and tested cinematic conventions .
stylistically , the kung fu genre is characterized as “outrageous” and “crowd pleasing” ( bordwell , pp . 2 ) , and as a “quintessential entertainment cinema” focusing on spectacle over narrative ( pang : 2007 , pp . 212 ) with a “tendency towards artifice” ( teo , pp . 90 ) . such cinematic language was often met with negativity from critics ( walsh : 2007 , pp . 169 ) , so chan’s film therefore opposes high taste culture , earning its place as a cult cinema through “video , screenings at campuses , and tastemakers” ( bordwell , pp . 52 ) . the generic style and tones touched upon are fulfilled by drunken master ii , as chan heroically and comically fights his way through hordes of attackers with comical and exaggerated grace , using the most mundane of props , over - the - top drunkenness and flamboyant twists , twirls , jumps and stunts to keep his audience entertained .
the title of master is best reserved for anderson himself , who builds , as if from water and sand , a story that is messy in the very best sense , crumbling before the viewer ' s eyes before it can be easily grasped or penetrated .
[ the master ] is interested in consciousness more than conscience , which is why anderson ' s camera roams so thrillingly . the man we ' re following experiences the world as a carelessly dropped string that had been wrapped about him and then whipped loose .
too fake . when used sparingly ( or at least unobtrusively ) , as in drunken master 2 , and other good martial arts movies , wires can be a good thing , by making fights more dramatic , and more exciting . when used with wild abandon , and no regard for believabiluty , as they are here , they simply destroy all suspension of disbelief , and add nothing to the excitement ( making me laugh , instead ) . not enough ass - kicking , overall . story predictable in too many ways .
jackie chan ' s
the legend of drunken master
is quite simply amazing . it involves some of the most intricate , difficult and joyfully executed action sequences i have ever seen . if you have any interest in seeing a jackie chan martial arts film , then this is the one to see . filmed in 1994 but not given a wide north american release until now , it is considered by those who have seen most of chan ' s 70 - plus films to be one of his two or three best .
throughout the first half of the film , while chan’s character is learning to fight and gaining the courage to defend himself , the film is a standard kung fu film of the sort that preceded it . however , once chan’s character begins to light up , so does the film . his brilliantly choreographed fighting scenes that pepper in great comic gags turn what began as a decent but forgettable martial arts flick into something pretty great . but what’s more is that this film is the perfect precursor to what comes next , drunken master .
on this amazing movie you can see chan ' s first traditional style martial arts film since the young master ( 1980 ) . a young martial artist is caught between respecting his pacifist father ' s wishes or stopping a group of disrespectful foreigners from stealing precious artifacts .
ti lung as fei hung’s father , wong kei ying , only gets one chance to display his skills in a short sequence with lau kar leung’s master fu . it’s a shame that two veterans from the old school don’t get a chance for a more extended scene .
by the early 90s , the worldwide success of the hong kong film industry saw beijing - born martial arts actor jet li become the first real threat to jackie ' s number one star status . in 1993 , jackie chan announced he was to film a sequel to his breakthrough 1978 kung fu movie , drunken master . this allowed him to legitimately use the wong fei - hong character of that film - thus taking some shine away from jet li ' s more recent , successful reworking of this canto folk hero in the once upon a time in china series .
hoooollleeeeee crap ! ! ! over - rated ! ! ! ! heh . . . well , only a little bit . 2 . 7 shitloads of people seem to think that this movie is the greatest thing since toilet paper , and folks : in my most humble of opinions , that just ain ' t so . it is undoubtedly superior to the first drunken master as well as a top tier jc film , but i definitely wouldn ' t place it above # 3 ( i rank police story and project a as # s 1 and 2 , respectively ) .

a year after the release of his first bona fide hit , snake in the eagle’s shadow ( 1978 ) , chan took the hong kong film world by storm with his first so - called
kung fu comedy ,
the now - classic drunken master ( 1978 ) . subsequent hits such as the fearless hyena ( 1979 ) , half a loaf of kung fu ( 1980 ) and the young master ( 1980 ) confirmed chan & apos ; s star status ; the latter film marked his first with golden harvest , lee & apos ; s old production company and the leading film studio in hong kong . before long , chan had become the highest - paid actor in hong kong and a huge international star throughout asia . he exerted total control over most of his films , often taking charge of duties ranging from producing to directing to performing the theme songs .
fatal flaw : fei - hung is not nearly as clever as he thinks himself to be , and he is constantly slacking off from training . this goes beyond being merely brilliant , but lazy however , as he never bothers to learn the eighth form of drunken boxing (
drunken miss ho
which he feels is too feminine to work in a fight ) and he has to make up his own eighth form in the final fight to keep from getting killed . he gets over this hangup by the second film , where he uses the form to psych opponents out .
when i first saw the film , the only other jackie film that i saw at the time was rumble in the bronx , and when i saw this film , i thought the fights were the most original things that i have seen . but as i began to indulge into jackie ' s career , watching all of his films and memorizing key moves , camera angles and moments , i realized that they weren ' t all that original . a lot of key moves , camera angles , and moments were lifted in the final fight of drunken master 2 from young master . if you need more ' splainin , consult jeff . but the other fights were original too , the spear fight between jackie and lau kar leung , the drunken boxing bout in the town square , and the tea house brawl with an axe gang ruled . but the moments in between are sooooo slow . the purpose of them seems to be just to pass time and make critics believe that there is a plot . there are hardly any of the funny , comedic scenes that we all know and love and there is none of the spirit and spunk that was contained in the original .

i’ve spent the past few weeks coming to terms with the end of the dark souls saga ( for now ) , following the release of dark souls 3 ‘s last dlc , the ringed city . hidetaka miyazaki has been firm about dark souls 3 being the last souls game as far as he’s concerned , though it seems fairly inevitable that namco bandai will nonetheless try to resurrect it in some form down the line . anybody who’s read you died will know what an impact dark souls has had on its players ( if you haven’t read it , what are you doing ? buy it right now ) , so this is the end not only of the series , but of a significant chapter in our lives .

so it is that in the case of many mystics , the battle with the demons is not hidden one but it is in fact open warfare . and this open battle is permitted by god to manifest to everyone the reality of both the devil and hell , which unfortunately many today try to disclaim the existence of . for the devil and the demons are very much a reality , and in their dealings with god ' s mystic saints they show themselves in the most horrid and undisguised perversities of their vicious and corrupt nature , in the wicked hope of snatching from christ the souls he loves , and for whom he has paid such a high a price in the shedding of his precious blood .

for some time now i have been meaning to write about the soundtrack to titan souls . the music was composed by david fenn , who has also composed the music for the mobile game telepaint ! and the platformer leaf me alone . if you’re not familiar with titan souls , it is a challenging game where the player must battle numerous large bosses armed solely with a bow and arrow while trying to avoid a one hit sudden death .
the transport of german troops to the stalingrad front is also evoked with a dark potency , as trays filled with rows of miniature versions of the classic german army helmet of the era chug by for minutes on end , a grim march playing in the background . but the horrors of the battle itself mostly take place offstage , and are suggested only through the sound design : occasional bursts of gunfire or rumbling explosions .

war buffs who can settle down in front of the history channel for marathon viewings are decidedly not the audience for “the battle of stalingrad , ” the puppet - theater piece by the georgian writer and director rezo gabriadze that returns to the lincoln center festival this year after first being presented in 2002 . ( it replaces a new show of his that was not completed in time for the run . ) in spite of its documentary - worthy title , mr . gabriadze’s play is not a straightforward dramatization of that monumental and bloody battle but a quirky theatrical poem on the vagaries of life itself .

lots of people like from software’s souls games , but few love them in quite the same way as the people who actually make video games . with the studio’s release of the terrific horror opus bloodborne last year and the looming release of dark souls 3 , the video game community has once again been talking about how from’s games work , and just what it is that makes them so appealing .
i’ve long been fascinated by this discussion . i’ve loved some of the previous articles we’ve published on the matter , particularly leigh alexander’s “ in praise of hard games ” and chris dahlen’s beautiful tribute to one of dark souls ’ best levels . now that i’ve fully caught souls fever myself , i want to talk with people about the games more than ever .
during the end game the hero makes one last choice to either slay or walk away from the maiden in black . if the hero walks away , they have not succumbed to the temptation of the souls when the fog is lifted and the maiden departs with the old one back into the fog into its slumber once again , saving boletaria and the rest of the world . if , however , the maiden in black is killed , they have become lustful for the power of souls , condemning the world with the hero as its ruler at the side of the old one .
and then there’s a poor little ant , desperately trying to protect her young as the madness of battle ravages the landscape . the evening’s last word is given to this adorable creature . “has anybody counted us ants ? ” she pointedly asks .
the initial reception for dark souls the board game was a mixture of excitement and skepticism . the kickstarter campaign for the board game was announced within a month of dark souls 3’s release ( the video game ) . with only concept art and 3d renders initially available , many people were skeptical of what the board game promises . furthermore , many speculated that the campaign was a rushed announcement in an attempt to piggy back off dark souls 3’s successful release . many wondered how a board game might capture the essence of such an atmospheric and unforgiving , yet rewarding , video game .
emboldened by the power of the lord souls , gwyn decided to go to war . there raged a great battle , with gwyn leading the witch of izalith and nito against the dragons . seath the scaleless – one of the dragons , born without scales and therefore mortal – joined the lords and helped to defeat his brethren , thus ushering in the age of fire . the age of fire seems to be as good as life has ever gotten in lordran ; a long age of prosperity ensued , and other lands sprung up around the kingdom . lord gwyn made his home in anor londo , and ruled from there .

our souls at night . a film for netflix , our souls is directed by ritesh batra , starring robert redford and jane fonda . it premiered at the venice film festival in september 2017 to a terrific reception and launched on netflix on 29th september 2017 .
“i think the souls games are very brave , ” says kasavin , “and give the impression that they were crafted with confidence and uncompromising vision , with a great deal of respect for the player’s capacity for mastery of complex systems . the souls games fly in the face of the common wisdom that accessibility is key to a blockbuster game . instead , they are evidence that depth is more important in games than all else .
the shepherd of lost souls just isn ' t very good at engaging fights due to his slow , shuffling movespeed and complete lack of gap - closing ability . and if he doesn ' t last - hit a few minions to prep some graves before the fight , he won ' t be at full strength when the souls and spells start colliding .
i am sad to hear of their suffering and wonder why our heavely father allows this . i stumbled onto this page wonering about my life long sufferimg and the battle in my life especially over near n dear to my heart . this constant battle over souls and my role in helping the dying turn to jesus . why has is all been so difficult such a struggle . the more hermit like i become trying to remove my life from worldly sin the more difficult it becomes to go on at times . other times it is a great reprieve from the pain and mans inhumanity to man .
but in the battle for souls , rimal feels hinduism is losing out to a more powerful force . “different foreign organisations are providing funds when christians are ill . and after the earthquake they provided help only to christians . bibles came in sacks of rice . bibles came with everything … they are using money to promote christianity and we have to compete with them . ”
yesterday marks 77 years since the start of the battle , a divisive turning point in the second world war . during the major campaign churchill famously commended the brave raf crews for fending off the luftwaffe in a speech saying : ' never was so much owed by so many to so few ' .
an initial glance at the dark souls the board game rulebook is a 40 - page , sepia - toned manual that seems to be laid out well with colorful diagrams and pictures of the rules , tokens , tiles , and game art . the colors and tones seem to capture the “old” and dark style of dark souls , while pictures of the miniatures make me wish they were available now — they look good ! however , dark souls the board game is in fact a board game and so here we go with some first impressions and thoughts on how the rulebook outlines gameplay .
even years down the line , there are still parts of dark souls ’ story that we can’t decipher . the artorias of the abyss storyline answered some of the lingering mysteries about what on earth happened in lordran’s past , but many remain . plenty of things are still debated – for instance , the true identity of the furtive pygmy , a character mentioned only once , in the game’s prologue . ( the prevailing theory is that he and manus – the antagonist of the artorias of the abyss portion of the story – are one and the same , but as with most things in dark souls , this isn’t absolutely certain . ) many of the accepted conclusions about the backstories of lordran and its inhabitants are essentially received wisdom ; there’s good evidence , but we cannot know for sure .

these are scary stories , in a way , yet knowing this is what the great saints have done to wage battle for souls is inspiring , and strengthens my resolve not to sin . i wonder how many graces are won and souls suddenly feel remorse for sins , ( as has happened to me ) , that were gained by a saint suffering these things hidden somewhere now on the earth . may god strengthen and bless his best warriors . blessed be god ! !
necrosoft’s sheffield feels differently . “the souls games require precision while feeling sloppy in terms of inputs , to me , ” he says . “i know a lot of people are going to disagree with me on this , but i feel like i’m swinging a sword underwater when i play a souls game , and i like my action snappy .
in the beginning of the world , there was no fire , and therefore no life , except for the immortal dragons who lived amongst the archtrees . but then , suddenly , fire came into the world in a place that would later be known as the kiln of the first flame . with it , four powerful lord souls came into existence and were claimed by four different beings : nito , the witch of izalith , gwyn and the furtive pygmy ( the most mysterious of the four , and the progenitor of humans – we’ll go into that later ) . the souls gave the four of them great power ; they became something close to deities .

i asked everyone i emailed with for some about things they didn’t like about the souls games , and got some interesting responses . to begin with…
dark souls the board game seems to have an identity crisis . it can’t commit to a type of combat system and a type of probability - based vs . decision - based gameplay . there is no lore and there is no invasion system ( yet ) . it’s a hack - and - slash , turn - based game with an unnecessarily complicated , yet incomplete battle system . though it implements a lot of cool things , it feels very hollow , and not very much what one would expect from a dark souls title . i would say that steamforged games will probably find themselves backtracking to pick up their bloodstained souls , but that wasn’t even mentioned in the board game . i am prepared to be disappointed .

“the storm king from demon’s souls summarizes the loop of the series in a single concise encounter , ” says alex gold , writer and designer of dark scavenger . “when the battle begins , you are overwhelmed and underpowered , scrambling to stay alive while your presence poses a minimal threat . through your own exploration , however , you discover a new strength ( in this case , the stormruler ) which allows you to overcome your once indomitable foes . when the final fiend has fallen , you walk away with an unparalleled sense of satisfaction . ”
naturally this vexed me , not just because i am afflicted ( like most souls fans i know ) with a mania for converting people , but because dark souls has an amazing story , one of the best , most intriguing , most complex , most intellectually involving stories in all of video games . it just does everything it can to hide it from you .
at the end of the story there is a big battle between dou di xiao yan and hun tian di ( soul clan patriarch ) which is won by xiao yan who detonates his physical body to seal hun tian di ' s soul in the essence flame to be refined / destroyed .
spectral souls is the tale of an alternate world called neverland . humans have been forced to submit to their demonic overlords , although they have frequently clashed in violent uprisings and rebellions throughout the course of time . while tenuous peace agreements slow down the full outbreak of war , the discontent is continually simmering under the surface of the civilization . after a number of villages are sacked and burned to the ground by demonic troops , a massive revolution erupts that kicks off what becomes known as the seven years war , a battle that threatens to change neverland forever . will the humans succeed or will the demons prevail ? not only will the story explore dark themes with a number of twists , but it may even surprise some rpg fans .

what follows is a guide to what actually happened in dark souls , to either refresh your memory or fill you in . more detailed explorations of each individual character follow in the next chapter .
lost souls is a dark and suspenseful thriller that explores the battle between spiritual forces . the story follows an exorcist who attempts to save a man who has been mark to be satan ' s vessel , so that he can take human form . winona ryder and ben chaplin lead the cast and give solid performances . the film is very stylized and atmospheric , which helps it to maintain an air of suspense and a sense of foreboding . and while the material is fairly derivative , it does have some dark turns and twists that give the story some additional intrigue and edginess . though it does have flaws , lost souls is a hauntingly chilling supernatural thriller .
dark souls the board game looks like a fun dungeon crawler . if it didn’t have the dark souls name to it , i’m sure it would be having a different reception . i am still very much looking forward to the game to come into my mailbox this april . though i don’t think i will be the first one to feature an unboxing video or one of the first gameplay reviews .
the game is set in the kingdom of boletaria , ruled by the aging king allant xii ( the game ' s main antagonist ) . because of his greed , the king searched for power and prosperity through a dark ritual of channeling the power of souls that brought unprecedented prosperity to boletaria , until the
deep fog
covered the land ' s outskirts , cutting off the kingdom from the outside world . neighboring kingdoms sent scouts to investigate but none returned after entering the fog . it was only after vallarfax of the royal twin fangs broke free from the fog that the rest of the world could be told of boletaria ' s plight . by channeling souls , king allant had awakened the old one , a great demon residing below the nexus . with the old one ' s awakening , a dark fog had swept in that within it unleashed demons who feasted on the souls of mankind , where those left alive without a soul became insane and violent . without resistance , the fog slowly begins to spread beyond boletaria .
anyone who’s ever fought a giant boss in dark souls knows that positioning can be the difference between seeing the words “lord of cinder fallen” and “you died” flash on your screen . the implementation of boss arc gives bosses an interesting and thematic mechanic when it comes to boss battles . based on the boss you are battling , their specific boss arcs will detail their strong areas and weak spots . attacking a monster at its weak spot grants you an attack bonus of another die roll . on the other hand , staying in front of a monster’s fighting arc may leave you vulnerable to many sweeping or area - of - effect attacks . this offers a lot of strategic and tactical thinking in the heat of battle and is very much how dark souls should be played . it is also similar to how kingdom death : monster implements its monster showdowns .

dark souls is a game of trial and error , and most of those errors are made by us — the players . whether it is being too hasty through a dungeon , ill - prepared with equipment , unobservant of the details , or poorly timing attacks , we have all experienced the increased tension of trying to reclaim our blood stains only to die again . dark souls is a game that rewards you greatly when you pay attention and take your time . in the dark souls the board game , when you battle bosses , they will have a set of behavior cards that will instruct who they will attack , how they will attack , and for how much damage . as this behavior deck gets used up , they will get reused in the same order so long as the boss is capable . what this means is that for every boss encounter , bosses will have a certain behavior that they will follow in cycle . in line with dark souls’ theme , any player who is observant , pays attention to timing , and anticipates actions will have a huge advantage during boss battles .
the most electrifyingly timely movie playing in new york was made in 1965 . gillo pontecorvo’s the battle of algiers is famous , but for some time it’s been available only in washed - out prints with poorly translated , white - on - white subtitles . the newly translated and subtitled 35 - millimeter print at film forum is presumably the version that was privately screened in august for military personnel by the pentagon as a field guide to fighting terrorism . former national - security adviser zbigniew brzezinski volunteered this blurb : “if you want to understand what’s happening right now in iraq , i recommend the battle of algiers . ” i wonder if these politicos are aware that pontecorvo’s epic was once used by the black panthers as a training film ? in fact , not much in the current iraq situation is historically comparable to the late - fifties algerian struggle for independence dramatized in the battle of algiers , but its anatomy of terror remains unsurpassed—and , woefully , ever fresh .

massive chalice’s muir says that “there’s hardly any tutorialization in the souls games . developers kind of hate putting complicated tutorials in their games and it’s nice to see a complex game succeed without them . ”
it is totally possible to play through dark souls in its entirety and have no idea what actually happened . there is no shame in this . dark souls ’ story took months – even years – to fully uncover . it required careful excavation . this is because enjoying dark souls ’ story is not a passive experience ; it’s not told to you . instead you have to find it . you have to hunt for hints in item descriptions , in the sparse snippets of dialogue , in your surroundings , in the forms and lairs and implied histories of the bosses you encounter , in the game’s one and only narrative cutscene ( the prologue ) . and it’s been a collective effort : dark souls ’ story has been uncovered over the course of years by thousands of individual players , each contributing their own observations , deductions and – of course – wild conjecture .

along with karl the viewer realizes belatedly just how good his domineering wife has actually been for him . the message is simple but profound , and the filmmakers should have found a better way to drive it home than the nameless - fatal - disease cliche at the end . the final third of the picture
generally strains under such melodrama , and sentimental stitchery shows . still , the performances are unreproachable , the flashback structure drifts agreeably down the years , and the film as a whole holds a quiet power .
being nominated for a 1990 academy award for best foreign language film . ( adult situations , nudity . )
