60 of 103 · most liked firstI was watching House of Flying Daggers (super cool wuxia film, highly recommended) and its music reminded me of the percussion style from Mechwarrior 2, which I felt was missing with Mechwarrior 5 Clans. So I made an example I made of how it would sound like

positive · AI labelView post →Love that Gruv delivers before a movie is supposed to be released! Looking forward to watching Nosferatu again. Shadow is a blind buy. Saw it was by Zhang Yimou who directed Hero and House of Flying Daggers and immediately bought it. Looks very interesting!

neutral · AI labelView post →This is an unforgettable dance scene in the #wuxia romance film House of Flying Daggers. It probably ranks second to the climactic duel scene at the end. youtu.be/p-nmfwQdkeM?...

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm surprised that there's not more film/tv that treats people in the past, especially feudal and ancient eras, as recognizable modern characters. House of Flying Daggers is fun because the main characters are basically beat cops. Name of the Rose is two monks that are really just noir detectives.
positive · AI labelView post →HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS (2004) #Junesploitation Day 12 Responded to this wuxia film unexpectedly. With Zhang Yimou directing, the film was always going to look beautiful. Pretty images did not salvage this watch, however. It was the direction the story took that left me feeling frustrated.

neutral · AI labelView post →House of Flying Daggers 📽️ cool, slick movie. i'd classify this as "prime, but not peak" wuxia. breathtaking action and visuals. it's functionally like a more stripped down, minimalistic version of crouching tiger mixed with hero, but you're hardly gonna get a better tragic romance action than this
positive · AI labelView post →'House of Flying Daggers' is such a good movie! Love it! It often gives me Hero (with Jet Li) vibes.
positive · AI labelView post →This Rapture song came out around the same time as a beautiful action movie called House of Flying Daggers. For years, my roommate and I would randomly turn to each other and go "House of....Flying Daggers." Anyway, if you're planning on being raptured, I'd recommend watching HoFD.

positive · AI labelView post →Their pink "wings" remind me so much of House of Flying Daggers... (Zhang Yimou should've been directing the Elden Ring movie but oh well lol)
neutral · AI labelView post →Yimou Zhang's film "Hero" is one of the most beautiful wuxia films that I know of & one of my favorites, matched closely by Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Curse of the Golden Flower (directed by Yimou Zhang), and The House of Flying Daggers (another Yimou Zhang). youtu.be/yVpsxArYoKk?....
neutral · AI labelView post →At least his misogyny isn't nearly as loud nowadays as it was during his House of Flying Daggers era because that film is fucking gross, but I just don't think the guy will ever figure out how to properly celebrate a woman.
negative · AI labelView post →Last night we watched "House of Flying Daggers". It kicks so much ass. From the scenery, the colors, the costumes, and the fights. Just an A+ movie
positive · AI labelView post →Movie marathon with hubby this date night. Started with House of Flying Daggers, now on to Jet Li's Fearless
neutral · AI labelView post →House of Flying Daggers was an amazing film. If you don’t mind foreign (I do prefer dubbed) movies. It is technically a martial arts movie but the tragic love story is what takes center stage. And visually it’s impressive
positive · AI labelView post →43. House of Flying Daggers. I haven’t seen as many Wuxia films as I would like, but I was a fan of both Crouching Tiger, and Hero. Then I saw this film at the cinema as part of Cardiff film festival, and it stunned me. It’s such a beautiful film, both visually, and story wise. I love it. #365films
positive · AI labelView post →44: House of Flying Daggers (2004) What if there was a badass movie w/ badass fight scenes + badass shots + the hottest guy and great dramatic moments that also doesn't let its female protag have any good character scenes and also she almost gets r*ped twice... Good but had me scratchin my head.
neutral · AI labelView post →"House of Flying Daggers" is a film about the dangers of polyamory.

positive · AI labelView post →Chilling out with a movie. Now watching: House of Flying Daggers
neutral · AI labelView post →Film * **Uproar** (2023) - a New Zealand coming of age tale. There are no surprises here. You know exactly what you are getting right from the start, but it is solidly and engagingly done, with some some good performances from Josh Waaka and Rhys Darby particularly. * **House of Flying Daggers** (2004) - continuing my SO's wuxia fad at the moment. This one looks wonderful and has some great set pieces early on but then runs out of ideas and drifts to a stop in a morass of repetitive…
neutral · AI labelView post →Throwback to this iconic scene from House of Flying Daggers www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk9t... apparently this <5 minute scene took 20 days to film (would anyone even do something like this anymore?) - obviously months of training even with ZZY's background in dance. The sword part they did ~40 takes.

neutral · AI labelView post →This is exactly what bugged me. It’s a Western version of this film. And that inauthenticity, I’ll note the actors spoke a different dialect than their native one, is all over it. Then you see a film like House of Flying Daggers and get why it misses
neutral · AI labelView post →I feel like it would take me less than 5 minutes to get him to agree that while House of Flying Daggers is good, it doesn't beat out The Fearless Hyena as Akira Kurosawa's best samurai movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Unfortunately, I am pretty sure *I* was the strongest reaction for a group of truckers in GA who just wanted a movie to enjoy the AC for a bit. It was House of Flying Daggers and I bawled so hard I couldn't breathe properly and was just gasping between loud, heaving sobs.

neutral · AI labelView post →I will create a new category of film Horror/Wuxia. We will start with the first movie. "House of a Thousand Daggers" think of Rob Zombies House of a Thousand Corpses and Martial Arts film "House of Flying Daggers" having a baby. My brain is shit. Lol
neutral · AI labelView post →Zhang Yimeu, who directed Hero and House of Flying Daggers, did a beautiful film called Shadow. While the film itself isn’t in the league of those films, the aesthetics of the movie is incredible. You should check it out. Also: razorfans letterboxd.com/rightaboutno...

neutral · AI labelView post →📽️ Shadow (2018): I expected a movie from the director of Hero and House of Flying Daggers to be more action packed. What action there is is very cool, but there isn't enough of it! Still, this is pretty good. Part The Prestige, part Hamlet, and, uh, other parts. Stylishly monochrome.
neutral · AI labelView post →I really need to get on figuring out the movies for this month's marathon. Unfortunately we've already watched Crouching Tiger and House of Flying Daggers which are the best romance movies in the genre imo, though I could do just short MA movie stars.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ooh, our tastes align! My favorite movie ever is House of Flying Daggers; I've seen most of the ones you list (Moonstruck is one of my ultimate ones).
positive · AI labelView post →Neat, I'll have to check Vagabond out! House of Flying Daggers is such a gorgeous movie, Zhang Yimou has a good eye for wuxia. 🤩
positive · AI labelView post →It’s from a French movie, Vagabond! The top middle photo is also from a movie, House of Flying Daggers
neutral · AI labelView post →This song came out at the same time as the movie House of Flying Daggers, the only other phrase in the wild I know of that fits into the song.
neutral · AI labelView post →I love House of Flying Daggers. This movie is a side scroller, always moving from the left to the right. It's hard to explain, but this choice really effects how you experience the movie. The threat of going back the other direction to the left is legitimately anxiety inducing.
positive · AI labelView post →If you like Chinese martial arts/action movie (think Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), give House of Flying Daggers a try. Zhang Ziyi stars as a blind dancer suspected of being the daughter of a rebel leader. It's on Roku Channel. Spotlight is about the Boston Globe's investigative reporting...⬇️
neutral · AI labelView post →There is some great music in High Fidelity! House of Flying Daggers is on The Roku Channel if you ever want to give it a try. It's a gorgeous film. The "echo game" in the beginning scenes is so cool.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm guessing In the Mood for Love, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and Yi Yi (the one I'm rooting for hardest) all do so, and maybe Goodbye Dragon Inn. I suspect Hou Hsiao-hsien's supporters won't agree on which film, and Zhang Yimou's votes will likely split between Hero and House of Flying Daggers.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ah hell here we go so you remember when China went full tilt on embracing color in film? House of Flying Daggers is a sullen drama with beautiful combat scenes. youtu.be/-GLVaSYzAvg?...
