House of Flying Daggers

Actually, that's what I was told that he has a Taiwanese mother, but I didn't expect him to actually know how to speak the language that's all. Since I've only seen him speak Japanese.

y'know...just a few years ago, his japanese was crap when compared to his speaking in mandarin. he speaks more naturally in mandarin.

he also speaks cantonese and english. check out his american movie "Too Tired to Die" where he co-stars with Mira Sorvino. his cantonese is okay even though he's got a mandarin accent. but take the subtitles away and you'll have a hard time figuring out what he says. (tried it when watching the cantonese dub of "Disney's Tarzan"....good god....i had a hard time understanding what he's saying)

Received my copy this week- YesAsia ships from Mississauga so I paid no customs and no taxes.

For the movie itself though I was very disappointed. The story was not bad I guess, but I just felt like nothing ever goes on so I ended up falling asleep and missed the end. I wouldn't say its a bad movie, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it again.

Anyone else unsuccessful in ordering any DVDs/VCDs from Yesasia? I tried last night and it wouldn't allow me, a first timer, to put the order through....went elsewhere (prices were notably higher) to order instead. The reason was the items (DVDs and VCDs) selected were not permitted to my location (I assume country) and that I should select something else. Too bad the prices for the items I wanted were well priced.

that movie was dumb, well...at least the plot, everything else was great...

but honestly, what a stupid plot, it has enough big holes for the red army to drive tanks through.

I felt sorry for the actors, having to deal with such a plot line....but this thing will defenitely be winning some awards, the scenery, acting, costumes, music all deserve it.

Its worth watching, but don't take the plot too seriously.
