[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 1722518, member: 151"] You know, I'm beginning to think that I should assume you dislike an upcoming film, and that wait to see if you suprise me. ;) Personally, I'm eager to see Hero, especially based on all the reviews I've gotten from friends and others. I'm not sure it's entirely fair to compare current fare to the glory days, when Hong Kong's output is so dramatically reduced, these days. They've adapted to fewer and more expensive productions, which I'm sure has an influence on the content. I mean, the Storm Riders, The Duel, a Man called Hero and others certainly had plenty of action...but if you mean that they have a lot more pathos, I'm right with you. Of course, I consider Hong Kong's golden days to be the 70s and 80s, as I have the mad love for the Shaw Brothers. "Roofer" kung-fu? Oh yeah, I'm there. :) And hong, no love for Fong Sai Yuk I and II? [/QUOTE]
