39 of 39 · most liked firstSome awesome new titles arrived today for the collection! - The Swordsman Trilogy 4K (Well, the first movie at least) - The Andromeda Strain 4K - Colossus: The Forbin Project
neutral · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #47 "The Swordsman" (Choi Jaehoon/2020) Awesome South Korean action/drama, as they do best. In a way it's sort of a riff on Zatoichi so you know I was going to see it, you should too!
positive · AI labelView post →(my first post features screenshots from Tsui Hark's 1990 film, "The Swordsman", an adaptation of Jin Yong/Louis Cha's "Smiling, the Proud Wanderer". This scene occurs right after our protagonist, Ling Hu Chong, is aided by an old wanderer in battle against the corrupt officials of the Ming Court.)
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched 47 Ronin, starring Keanu Reeves and Hiroyuki Sanada, tonight. I enjoy this style of action movie so I liked it. Worth checking out if you enjoy fantasy action movies. I love them so I figured I'd at least be entertained. Maybe The Swordsman next if I'm up for a subbed movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Swordsman (1990 720p). The Swordsman (笑傲江湖), also known as Swordsman, is a 1990 Hong Kong wuxia film loosely adapted from the novel The Smiling Proud Wanderer by Jin Yong. King Hu was credited as the director although he allegedly left the project midway, and the film was completed by a team led by producer Tsui Hark. It was followed by two sequels: Swordsman II (1992) and The East Is Red (1993). (Both sequels are available on the same YT channel)…

positive · AI labelView post →A lot d the Rurouni Kenshin live action movies had really fun sword fights. The Swordsman, a k-movie, was also good. Of course, I’m judging them as a sword person myself who has trained in stage combat as well as many other modes, and you have to acknowledge that stage combat is a craft unto itself.

positive · AI labelView post →Did Apple TV’s Fountain of Youth movie leave you wanting more? An untold expedition from 1613 may be what you’re searching for. In The Swordsman of Venice: Blade for Hire, the hunt for the fountain runs through the Amazon, lies, and lost loyalties—long before streaming made it trendy. 🗺️⛲️🔥💀 #books

That's actually David Lea, Keaton's Stunt Double, in the batsuit here. The Swordsman was played by Sken Kaewpadung, who also choreographed the fight scenes in the film.

I always felt like Jang Hyuk from The Swordsman carried the same kind of energy and "quiet magnetism" attributed to Won Bin in his IMDB profile. But I'm stoked my boy Joe has the part.
neutral · AI labelView post →I recently watched The Swordsman, a 2020 hisorical action movie, which was quite good. Decent storyline but they never dove too deeply into it. Mostly just a dad with a past, devoted to his daughter. Unique sword.

positive · AI labelView post →Besides THE SWORDSMAN TRILOGY, this is the film I've been looking forward to the most- saw it in film theory class umpteen thousand years ago and it's been in my head ever since. Can't wait to see what Shout Studios does with it! #HongKongCinemaClassics

neutral · AI labelView post →If we are exclusively going with movie fights, I would say my top ones have always been the final duels of Rob Roy, and the Mark of Zorro. I have also recently enjoyed some of the fights in the Rurouni Kenshin movies and the one in The Swordsman, though those are more "spectacle" fights, arguably

My fall back when I need a good JH fix is to watch #FatedToLoveYou which of course I have on dvd 😉 I guess it depends what you have access to and what you feel in the mood for right now. Depends too if you want a rewatch or something new. I thought he was good in the movie #TheSwordsman. And he always surprises me with his comedic chops so maybe #ShineOrGoCrazy.
neutral · AI labelView post →I thin The Swordsman is on Prime. A very intense action movie. Or Tai Chi Zero... which is ridiculous and fun. ... if they can handle subtitles.
