According to the characters you 'drew' :-), the movie is the live-action
movie of Kujaku-Oh (that's the Japanese pronunciation).  Its English
title would be "Peacock King".

(That's characters #4, #5 and #6.  #2 is "gold", and the compound of
#1 and #2 might mean "funds" depending on what #1 is. :-)

This movie was based on the Kujaku-Oh manga, a violent, bizarre and
epic story of a mantric Buddhist monk (Kujaku) born with the power
of Kujaku-Myooh (Lucifer).  Although what you describe sounds like
pretty typical Kujaku-Oh (I haven't seen the movie), I hear that the movie
is only peripherally relevant to the original work -- but what's new. :-)

I don't know who the "princess" might be, could be Ashura (Kujaku's
friend).  As for ZIPAN, no idea.

L'ARMEE DES OMBRES is a war movie, dealing with a group in the french
resistance. But the style of the movie almost makes them appear like
gangsters (they have no illusions of what resistance work really means).
It's a very good movie and it's really nice to see a movie where the
germans speak german, the french speaks french and the english english.

Of those Melville films that I have seen (and thats way to few) LE
CERCLE ROUGE is my favourite - one of the best movies I saw in 1990.

If the UK has this film on their VIDEO NASTY list, I don't know why.
Although it's a horror film, the gore is pretty sparse.  Tom Savini
did some of the fx which are incredibly restrained.  The only
slightly gory scene is the one where the psycho is burned in a fire...
and even this scene is less effective than, say, the witch burnings
in WITCHFINDER GENERAL.  Nearly all of the violence occurs OFF-
SCREEN.  The amount of violence in this film is comparable to the
amount of violence in the first twelve minutes of HALLOWEEN.
 
It amazes me that THE BURNING was banned in the UK when here in the
US, you can go to your local video store and rent films like
NEKROMANTIK 1 and 2, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, BACCHANALE, MAKE THEM DIE
SLOWLY, LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET, I SPIT ON YOUR CORPSE and
any FACES OF DEATH movie or FOD clone like they are the ABC Movie-of-

THE BURNING was one of those great campers vs. insane maniac films that was
popular in the early eighties. I thought this one was one of the better ones.

In this case the psycho is the old camp caretaker Cropsy who had been hideously
burnt in a practical joke backfire years before (sound familiar?). Well he
escapes from his hospital and returns to the camp to wreak vengance with a
nasty pair of hedge clippers. Excellent special effects by Tom Savini. I
remember liking this because Cropsy actually goes after and kills a lot of the
kid campers and not just the sex-brained counselors...

Is that the one with Patrick Swayze, and Liam Neeson. I really liked that
one, for some damn reason. The whole plot/script with the mob traditions
crossing the traditions of the hillbillys, was way better than it needed
to be.
And Swayze had a great car!

This was a made for HBO film by John Carpenter I think starring
a WWF dude. The concept is hardly original but it was well done.
Worth watching but nothing to rave about IMHO. The limited music,
consisting of 2 bass notes, started to get on my nerves after a
while though. Carpenter did the music (as he often does).

I picked up a new CD, _Precinct 13_ which is a compilation of music
from various Carpenter films.

Well, unless one of these is an alternate title for it, there is also
LOVE IS A DOG FROM HELL.  I believe it was released in 1988 but I
could be wrong.  There are some other Bukowski-related movies/videos
(perhaps more like documentaries?) but I haven't seen them.  I believe

  ROTOQ is the O'Brien script.  It is not as lame as Shock Treatment
  but again displaces most of the original characters.  TDDUP is 
  written by two screenwriters from Los Angeles, both of whom are active
  Rocky Horror Picture freaks.  I don't know if they are from Fox.  

  TDDUP is much more of a follow-up to RHPS, set in Denton on Brad and
  Janet's 10th high school reunion. Both have gone their separate ways
  but reunite for one more mad fling in Transylvaniadom.  There antics
  take them back to the old road where the castle has reappeared and
  Riff Raff is back, along with hopefully Magenta (although Patty Quinn
  is certainly not capable of performing these days since here bad
  accident).  And of course Frank Jr.,, badder than his dad. 

  I have seen some of the script and I agree with its authors that it is
  much more likely to get a good reception from the current RHPS crowd
  than ROTOQ.  However, they should probably put in most of O'Brien's
  music since it is better than the few songs I read from TDDUP.  

  I will find out more when I go back to Los Angeles after Thanksgiving
  for the 17th Occasional Doo-Dah parade and RHPS mini-con.

Ah yes. Haven't seen it in years, but this is probably my favorite Dracula 
film, and still haunts me. 
It wasn't the first time I had been in a theatre alone, and I was already
hooked on these kinds of films, but when I saw "Halloween" the night it
was released, I was amazed! It was the first, <and so far, only> time that
I had been in a theatre that actually SHOOK from the audience screaming.
Very unnerving, and it definately added to the experience.
As for my first horror film, that would be "Billy The Kid vs. Dracula"
that I snuck out and watched on late nite TV when I was about 4 or 5.
Boy was my Mom pissed too. She liked the movie though! B}

This weekend I rented Jackie Chan's  ARMOUR OF GOD II: OPERATION CONDOR

stunts in the movie are truly amazing (esp. the mototcycle chase sequence and
the "wind tunnel" sequence.)

Can anybody recommend other Jackie Chan films or send/post a discography?
The place also had Armour of God I.

Also if anyone can supply the Chinese titles of these films it would be

	Well, as an aside - The British Board of Film Censors have changed their
name to The British Board of Film Certifiers (or something along those lines).
	What a euphamism. "We don't have censorship - just certification." 
Right.
	As an even further aside - I always thought that it was quite amusing
that their address was 1 Soho Square, London. I suppose they're trying to get in
amongst the enemy, really.

	(Translation for citzens of the US and other aliens - Soho is the area
of London where you can find anything to do with sex, and even mentioning its
name is thought vaguely risable by people outside of London).
