Ong Bak 2 (2008)
Could have been a really good movie, but...
My husband and I saw this movie for sale at a local store, picked it up because the cover art looked promising...
I have to tell you though, after about 1/2 hour of terribly dubbed dialogue, we had to turn it off.
The cinematography was great, the martial arts were fantastic and the story line was pretty good.
I don't know who they got to do the voice-overs, but in the end it would have been better to have just left it in the native language with subtitles only.
Please, please... Tony Jaa,next time hire native actors for voice overs, and get someone to do a better translation! I was really disappointed..
The Final Countdown (1980)
Pointless film, great photography
Unfortunately even though there is plenty of air action, one is left flat with this film. The build up is great, however as the movie comes to a close and the viewer realizes the final outcome, one cannot help but feel cheated.
The paradox at the end is good. Kirk Douglas is (as always)a great presence. Marting Sheen's acting on the other hand, has a lot to be desired. Katharine Ross is adequate, but I would have liked to see more involvement with her character. Charles Durning's character was very good, if not a little over the top.
This movie really had a lot of potential. It's unfortunate that the writers didn't work up a better ending.
Manchurian Avenger (1984)
Production Year
1982 is correct. I worked on the film. My family were extras and I worked as a 'gopher'. We were lucky enough to spend some time with a number of the actors. They were a great bunch to work with. It's a shame that the quality of the film is so poor, and I agree that it could have been a decent movie. The movie was filmed in Fairplay, Colorado in the museum, which is actually part of the original town. (Burro races are held annually there, by the way) Many of the townspeople were hired as extras as well. Bobby Kim was a very quiet man, but Cy and Gary were a hoot and Bill Wallace was incredible to watch work out at the high school's gym.
