  I’m kind of limited in that I’m really only aware of films that have been exported for American audiences, the Jackie Chan/Sammo Hung/Jet Li/Bruce Lee/Shaw Brothers/Crouching Tiger type stuff. I’m sure there’s better that I just have not seen.

  But my favorite is Kung Fu Hustle.

  Ashes of Time, notably Maggie Cheung's scene. The friend that recommended the film to me prefers the original version, but I like the redux version.

    No way. XD

    I rewatched it again recently, after it’s finished, I was thinking: what the hell did I just watch. XD
