Quote by Marya
Never seen Battle Royale... When was it released!?
You could always look it up on the net???
Saved you the bother ....
Made in 2001, released on DVD in 2002. Battle Royale(18) is "likened to Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orangeby many critics, this explosive film shocked a nation with its violent portrayal of a society in ruins."
Don't say I don't do nuffink for ya.

God forbid i should prevent you from asking one-answer (aka "closed" ) questions and allowing the thread to become a series of one-worded posts.
Some genuine subtitles used in Chinese language films
I am damn unsatisfied to be killed in this way
Quiet or I'll blow your throat up
I'll fire aimlessly if you don't come out!
Beware! Your bones are going to be disconnected
Damn, I'll burn you into a BBQ chicken!
Fatty, you with your thick face have hurt my instep
Same old rules: no eyes, no groin
A normal person wouldn't steal pituitaries
Take my advice, or I'll spank you without pants
Who gave you the nerve to get killed here?
You always use violence. I should've ordered glutinous rice chicken
You daring lousy guy
Beat him out of recognizable shape!
I have been scared shitless too much lately
I got knife scars more than the number of your leg's hair!
The bullets inside are very hot. Why do I feel so cold?
How can you use my intestines as a gift?
This will be of fine service for you, you bag of the scum
I am sure you will not mind that I remove your manhoods and leave them out on the dessert flour for your aunts to eat
Yah-hah, evil spider woman!
I have captured you by the short rabbits and can now deliver you violently to your gynaecologist for a thorough extermination
Greetings, large black person
Let us not forget to form a team up together and go into the country to inflict the pain of our karate feets on some ass of the giant lizard person

Quote by Benji Barnicals
i saw this film at the cinema and was absolutely blown away. It was such a beautiful film .... I loved the use of colours in it.
House of Flying Daggers or Battle Royale?
the only colour i remember in BR is red!lol
I meant House of Flying Daggers...
IS Battle Royale that film where they drove cars on public roads and get points for running people over?

Nope, its about a bunch of japaese school children killing (brutally) each other to survive... very graphic.

House of FD is indeed a great film but I'd still rate Hero above it as a simply beautiful film, though it was stunning.
... oh and if you're after funny subtitles 'Shaolin Soccer' is a must see. The film itself is a comedy cross between Escape to Victory and Crouching Tiger, and the subtitles seem to have been written by a man armed only with a chinese/english dictionary and no knowledge of the english language - spelling mistakes, nonsensical statements and little errors like calling the football 'the soccer' throughout the whole thing (not great start for a film about a football team!)

Good morning everyone!!
I see that the discussion is still going strong!! lol
Cant believe how many people havent heard of House Of Flying Daggers.. not seeing it I understand as I also havent seen alot of films, Im sure, but not to even have heard of it!? C'mon people.. lol
lol
Nope sorry never heard of it either, but then I don't watch any films . If I watch T.V. for more than 2 hours a week then thats a heavy weeks viewing and I can honestly say that it must be 30 years since I went to the cinema, simply doesn't interest me at all.
Hope this helps, regards Shikukai
For those that have never heard of it it was released last year in Cinemas and last week I believe on Region 2 (UK) DVD/Video.
I've included a review on the movie for those that would like a little more info-
It is 859AD; the Tang Dynasty, at its height one of the most enlightened empires in Chinese history, is in decline. The Emperor is incompetent and the government is corrupt. Unrest is spreading throughout the land, and many rebel armies are forming in protest. The largest, and most prestigious, is an underground alliance called the House of Flying Daggers.
The House of Flying Daggers operates mysteriously, stealing from the rich to give to the poor. Thus, they have earned the support and admiration of the people and expanded quickly. Based in Feng Tian County, close to the Imperial Capital, the House of Flying Daggers has long been a thorn in the side of the local deputies, their bitter enemies. Under the leadership of a mysterious new leader, the House of Flying Daggers grows ever more powerful. Feng Tian County's two local captains, Leo (Andy Lau) and Jin (Takeshi Kaneshiro) are ordered to capture the new leader within ten days.
Captain Leo has heard that one of the new dancers at the Peony Pavilion, a local brothel, is a member of the House of Flying Daggers. So, he sends Captain Jin to the Pavilion undercover, to search her out. Arresting the blind dancer Mei (Zhang Ziyi), Leo formulates a plan to lead them to the rebels: Jin will pretend to be a lone warrior called 'Wind' and rescue Mei from prison, earning her trust and escorting her to the secret headquarters. However, when caught in an ambush by government troops, Jin realises that he is now caught between his loyalty to his comrades and defending his and Mei's lives...
'House Of Flying Daggers' tells of a passionate emotional journey, in which three people suffer for love; it tears them apart, yet they are willing to sacrifice everything for it. Zhang Yimou, fresh from helming the worldwide smash 'Hero', reunites with athletic leading actress Zhang Ziyi (who made her debut in Zhang Yimou's 'The Road Home') for the central role of Mei, caught between captains Leo and Jin.
"I don't want to make an ordinary martial arts (Wuxia) film" explains the director. "I want to talk about passion, interesting characters, my own style of Wuxia film but it is also an evocative and romantic love story."
official selection at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival and nominated for an incredible 9 BAFTA awards, 'House Of Flying Daggers' bears Zhang Yimou's trademark exquisite visual beauty and incisive storytelling.
