Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Ricardo Daly The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Paul Magne Haakonsen "Tiger & Dragon Reloaded" ("Da Lui Toi", aka "Gallants") is not your average Kung Fu movie. This is more of a down to Earth kind of movie, about the commitment to one's ideals and staying true to what you believe in.Where as there is some fighting throughout the movie, it is not your typical adrenalin-pumping martial arts with lots of young talents, nor is it an impressive display of wire-fu with people flying all over the place. No, this martial arts performed by people who are no longer in their youthful prime. But they still perform quite adequately, nonetheless.The story is about an old martial arts school now turned to a restaurant after the master fell into a coma. And as he suddenly comes out of the coma, his devoted pupils along with a couple of newcomers learn about old traditions and old ideals.Siu-Lung Leung (playing Tiger) and Kuan Tai Chen (playing Dragon) carried the movie quite nicely. But the star of the movie was without a doubt Teddy Robin Kwan (playing Master Ben Law).While it was refreshing to see a martial arts movie of this particular caliber, then the movie wasn't, sadly enough, really that outstanding. Sure, it is good for a single viewing, but it is hardly a movie that can support multiple viewings.

ckormos1 Consider warned that I will be noting a specific climactic plot point that could be considered a spoiler. Until now I have only reviewed movies if I had more to say than "I liked it" or "I didn't like it". This time my motivation is simply because I really, really liked this movie a whole lot. This movie has a magic moment that is so rare but so wonderful when it happens. Without the moment I'd rate it a 6, slightly above average for the genre and date. The moment bumps it up to a remarkable 8 out of 10. So what about that moment? When the fight is over and the loser is laughing the younger guy doesn't get it and the line is something like "You'll get it in about 20 years." Simply put - I get it now. I've been a fan of these movies for a long time and I've practiced martial arts for 35 years. I have all the aches and pains and injuries to prove it. I am not as young or as good as I once was. That's exactly why I get it now and exactly why I liked it so much.

azncowboy123-915-393930 As noted by other reviews, this film is a throwback to the old school kungfu flicks of the 60's and 70's.As the film has been well reviewed on the web already, I'll just add a few observations:Even though it's a nostalgic film, it might be too "hip" and "retro" for those for the original audience of these flicks.It's hilariously funny, but a little tighter editing would have made the movie even better. Teddy Robin, for example is very funny, but he gets a bit annoying after a while.Bruce Leung Siu-lung still moves amazingly well at 57 yrs old.. better than most action stars in their 20's.JJ Jia is a dead ringer for Kwai Lun Mei.

dbborroughs Co-winner of the Audience award at the NYAFF this year, this film is a wonderful throw back to the 1970's style of martial arts films but the a twist for 2010 the stars are the older stars of the martial arts films of the 70's.The plot of the film has a young man sent to help a landlord evict some tenants of his properties so they can be turned into something wonderfully new. Along the way he makes the acquaintance of two men running a tea house(it was formerly a dojo) while they wait for their master to awaken from a 30 year long coma. You can guess which side he chooses and you know that with Bruce Leung as one of the old students you know there's going to be lots of fights.As I've said if films are suppose to be about characters then this is one of the best. Full with characters you love, you kind of like the bad guys too, this is one of the best most unexpected films I've seen this year. This is a film that allows you watch people getting beaten up and feel good at the same time.Its magical.Its also not just a martial arts film. This is a film thats for anyone wanting to see a good film. The martial arts is not the reason for the film, just a by product of its location. The film is ultimately about what is family and how we make our own.I can't recommend this film to everyone.Its a blast.And could we please have a sequel? (and a US distributor, apparently this great film doesn't have one.)
