Lightning 191 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Sleeping Dogs is getting a hollywood movie and will star Donnie Yen. If you don't know what it is, it's a video game that takes place in HK about triads and police and all that. It probably won't get as much attention as Mulan but i wanna see how they do this too. The game is great. I can't complain about Donnie in that role, it's made for him even at his older age. John wick proves there's still an audience for some bad ass action movies and Donnie yen's fight scenes can be brutal. There hasn't been an English language HK action style movie in ages. I would have preferred Nicholas Tse in the role but I understand he's unknown in the u.s and Donnie is on a hot streak. I hope it lives up to the potential and would love to see Donnie have a real hit movie as a lead star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting Yakuza but got GTA with Arkham combat. It was also mostly in english with only some canto iirc. But yea, Donnie makes perfect sense after being in a few hollywood movies recently. Daniel Wu would probably have a better chance than Nic because at least he's on Into The Badlands which comes back for another season later this month.

It was basically True Crime HK though so it was always going to be that kind of style. I think it would have found its feet more with a sequel but it won't get the chance. Of course I would have loved if they'd have gone full blast and made it all in Cantonese but that would make it even more of a niche game. Look how good the latest Yakuza was and it still flops in most countries outside Japan. It's tough to find that balance. By the way have you (or anyone reading this) seen the HK movies Love in a Puff and/or Love in the Buff? Because the third movie is coming and those movie's are pretty great.

Also i love the Yakuza games and it's what i personally wanted haha. I downloaded both of them a long time ago but never watched. Western tv series have been so good lately that i focus more on it than asian movies and dramas now. Everybody should watch Westworld btw~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westworld was good though, I wish HK could produce a series like that. And you should at least make time for love in a puff. Its a genuine modern classic IMO.

MomoMoon115 5,816 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Chinese anime? That's a thing ?? Yea. Apparently there's a popular one that was dubbed in Japanese that got a lot if attention. I think the Chinese version is better tho. There's only a few on the sites I could find. Though I haven't looked too in depth yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning 191 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Does anyone watch or take note of the Golden Melody Awards anymore? Feels like its becoming less relevant or at least I don't see the same level of attention given to the ceremony and the winners as a few years ago.

They're pretty meaningless to me. I only look up the nomination lists to see if i missed anything worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of albums on there I haven't got round to listening to yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of albums on there I haven't got round to listening to yet. I think i listened to all the albums from the girls nominated in the best female category and only some of the ones nominated for best male (cus male artists reasons lol). Out of the ones nominated for best album, i listened to half of them i think. Not really interested in mayday, guo ding, xu jun. Didilong's album is nominated for best taiwanese album and i listened to that also. Not sure if it's your style but i think it's worth checking out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
