A Better Tommorow does not have an original plot and as you pointed
out Kurasawa, Leone, and others have borrowed from others, but 
generally the borrowing is quality borrowing - eg. Brian Depalma
borrowing from Hitchcock, Kurasawa borrowing from Shakespeare.
As a friend once noted about Depalma "If you are going to steal,
at least steal from the best, from the Master.". Yes ABT's plot
is not original, but it is fairly predictable.

Your point about visual style is well taken though. I will attempt
to find some John Woo films, especially ABT, letterboxed. Certainly 
Woo's style appears to have been influenced by Peckinpah etc..

I'm also curious about the French director (Jean Pierre Malle ?)
who Woo cites as his influences. Does anyone have a list and
reccomendations of his movies ? Are they readily available in
North America ?

Do you prefer the outright stupidity of FILM THREAT as well?  Those guys
know less about film than the editors of FANGORIA.   I believe that the
word pretentious would be better applied to Film Threat than to almost
any other magazine I know.  They pretend to be incisive "no bullshit"
writers about film, but they really offer slim content dressed up in
adolescent-ready prose.  I won't say there is nothing interesting in
their pages, but I suggest that there is very little.

Moreoever, has no one ever wondered why the films which they sell
(remember that Film Threat and the Video Guide are essentially
catalogues for products sold by FT) always get good reviews?  I don't
know what you mean by Fanboy masturbation, but if I am offended by
anything it is that remarkable level of special pleading.

FILM COMMENT is not pretentious.  It "pretends" to be exactly what it is
-- a serious film magazine (the US equivalent to SIGHT AND SOUND).  It
is articulate, well-researched and, even if you don't care for the films
it writes about, informative.  It contains no "overly sensitive
gushing".  

What does it mean to be "overly" sensitive anyway?  I would think that
if you are inspecting a work of art the more sensitive the better. 
Would anyone argue with that?

Afraid I have to give my 2 cents to _Film Comment_, though, as
someone pointed out, they really do have two completely different
"missions," for want of a better term.  What I love about _Film
Comment_ are the unpredictable, totally whimsical articles, like
the one this summer on aviator movies of the 20's, 30's, and 40's,
many of which have since shown up on AMC or TNT.  Yeah, sometimes the

"It Conquered The World" is a 50's B/W epic from Roger Corman.
Lee Van Cleef and Beverly Garland<?> are also in it. The world is menaced
by a "turnip" from space. I recommend the Mystery Science theater 3000
edition for those with weak constitutions, although I prefer the even
worse remake by Larry Buchanan, "Zontar: The Thing From Venus".
Hope this helps. It's out on video....

I am Daniel Read.  I did NOT write  this rubbish.  One of the people who
champions FILM THREAT wrote this and I dislike being associated with
such sentiments.  (Such errors in attribution are common on the net --
but what a terrible error to fall victim to).  

I received mail from someone telling me that they liked THE SEVENTH SEAL
and I wondered why they had sent it to me -- now I know.

"The emperor's new clothes" argument is often invoked by those who do
not understand.  Their failure to perceive is attributed to the world's
shortcomings and not to their own.  Just because YOU can't see the
clothing doesn't mean it isn't there.

My copy is from a different distributor so I can't comment on whether or
not mine is easier to interpret. I can't help you with the dialogue
you mentioned either (...your rump is behind you). I suspect it was uttered
by Max Von Sydow's faithful squire (Concord, Patsy...:) who spewed a lot
of similar nonsense during the film. Remember, you are often losing quite
a lot in the translation and a lot of this dialogue is probably idiomatic
Swedish. I speak German and when I watch German films subtitled in English
i'm often amazed at how much is literally destroyed by the translation.

Nonetheless, the film still packs quite a wallop for me. How men of faith
deal with that little hole inside them which doesn't quite believe in
God and the Devil makes for a powerful story. Unfortunately, like all
films with a medieval subject I can't stop myself from applying my
Monty Python and the Holy Grail filter...or more recently, the Bill and
Ted's Bogus Journey filter (Max and Death on the beach playing Twister).

The ending scene of Death leading his captives along the ridge still 
gives me gooseflesh.

Organization: Software Engineering Institute, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA

I've recently discovered an Asian Distribution Center (thanks daniel) that
stocks nearly every Asian video mentioned here. At $2/two nights it sure beats
the hell out of buying them from VS0m, etc. This weekend I got to watch four
films:

A Better Tomorrow 2,3 (good, not as good as The Killer or Hardboiled)
Armour of God II: Operation condor (excellent)
unknown horror film

The problem is a lot of the videos don't have English titles (or subtitles for
that matter) and I was wondering if anyone could name the film I saw as well
as recommend other Asian horror films.

The film starts out with a man and a girl in a underground cavern. Something
attacks them (Evil Dead style) and drags them 100+ yards through the cavern.
Then we see three boys walking around this complex of some sort. People at
this complex get their heads ripped/cut off (very gory) until only one of the
boys and a older man are left. Every time someone dies a likeness of them gets
'burnt' into the back of the boy. The girl's head appears and sprouts spider
legs (she also has a 1-2 foot tongue that looks like a penis that she likes to
stick in people's mouths). The spider things chases them around until the
conclusion back in the underground cavern. Pretty excellent with lots of great
special FX and cinemetography. Any one seen this?
Anyone want to recommend any other Asian horror films?  I'm especially
interested in finding the films "Seeding of a Ghost" and "Seventh Curse".

Also is there anyway to get the Chinese titles (either written or spoken) for
any of these titles?  It would make these films a hell of a lot easier to find.

Thanks in advance
