The God of Gambler Family Tree

How many of you remember Chow Yun Fat’s God of Gambler?  I do.  It was during a time period where Hong Kong movies just churned out gambling movie after gambling movie.  It was the golden age of Hong Kong flicks I would say.  Seriously; it was a mix of mafioso mixed with gambling and comedy. As I was stumbling around the net looking for images, I found this God of Gambler relationship chart detailing how everyone was tied to each other somehow.  Interesting chart to say nonetheless. Time to whip out all my old VHS tapes of copied Hong Kong movies that had to do with gambling.

The Warlords

June 7th, 2008

The Warlords

Starring an all-star cast with Jet Li (Hero, Forbidden Kingdom), Andy Lau (Infernal Affairs) and Takeshi Kaneshiro (House of Flying Daggers); this movie is set during the Qing Dynasty when Empress Dowager Cixi ruled the lands of China. The story is about a lost general meeting local bandits to rejoin the army to find greatness and glory. Among other things, a brotherhood is formed like the three muscatels except due to selfishness and drama; it all gets broken down. Betrayal, control, obsession. All characters are developed well and acted wonderfully. I cannot find much complaint. The film is currently available on YouTube and here is the first part to get you started: SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "The Warlords", url: "http://designrjc.com/the-warlords/" }); Read More →
