Lik wong (1991)
"Unorthodox" Kung Fu!!
Within the first five minutes of this movie I was grinning like I just stole something. What a treasure! I'm not quite sure if the director of this film intended it to be this funny or not, but I love it all the same. I have subjected a few people (who do not necessarily share my taste in movies) to this film and watched them alternately laugh and then almost throw up, and then laugh again. And every time I see someone else "experience" the Story of Ricki it just makes me love it more. I wouldn't change a thing about this movie.
If you have a strong stomach and love Kung Fu movies (especially B Kung Fu movies)I recommend you buy 2 copies of this movie (in case you ever lose one) right now. You'll be glad you did!
The Devil's Rejects (2005)
Live by the sword, die by the sword....
After reading some user comments and having the misfortune to read through some of the message board for this film, I felt compelled to add my own irrelevant opinion...
This film shouldn't really be viewed as a sequel. Think of "House of 1000 Corpses" and "Devil's Rejects" as one film (a la Kill Bill) and it makes sense. The point to this movie was to provide closure after the events that took place in the first film. That's it! The reason why it had a different style, was because the situation for the main characters changed dramatically and the music and scenery needed to reflect that. (note: Rob Zombie is also becoming a very skilled director, and the film reflects that.) Think of the first movie as "cause" and this film as "effect". And now you understand the point to the film that almost every other comment and posting I read through seemed to miss: Live by the Sword, Die by the Sword.
Not bad overall, and I look forward to his next film.
