If they were to examine the styles most often adopted by Mixed Martial Arts competitors it would be difficult not to conclude that Muay Thai, wrestling & Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu lie at the core of our sport.

Long Round: 3 in 1 package

Greetings to all my readers (anyone still left?), I was in lazy & busy mode for a long time, however today I just decide to stop blaming the keyboard and mouse for not being able to perform instead of me and while dusting off hands and fingers I start this new article here. It might be a bit longer than my previous entries, but that is due to the fact that I'm going make 3 reviews  instead of traditionally only one. Big applause for me being so generously lazy. 
  Anyway, without any further chatter I'll unveil the three movies, decapitated before you - sort of like the public executions in ancient China, during the Tang dynasty - The lost Bladesman, My Kingdom & The Sorcerer and White snake aka It's Love.

Vampires are back on the stage - Twilight fans beware!

It was a bad omen to watch two bad movies one after another - I was just getting myself coming out of the shock from the abomination named "Choy lee Fut" and yet another example of the same lineage came on screen. 

Two words - suck this...

Sammo Hung, Yuen Wah, Kane Kosugi, Sammy Hung, Dennis To - who of them does not belong in the picture?

I was thinking how to begin this article, because of its nature - a shiny shell, with really tasteless core, as if to put a brand new pants to an already brown coloured arse... It won't cover the smell and stains - it will just make them even easier to spot from a distance. 

At first I was really excited when I saw the trailer (damn you marketing tricks!) and I had a hope of seeing something different - Sammo Hung & Yuen Wah teaming again, Sammi Hung (one of Sammo's sons), Kane Kosugi (son of Sho Kosugi) and fast-paced battles on screen - that's what I saw from the brief videoclip. 

The real picture was far, far, far from being any good... 

And I'm still trying to erase this movie from my mind and eyes - plenty of my brain cells are now dead due to this movie experience and I think I reduced my IQ a bit... 
But let me start with the name first - Choy Lee Fut...

There is no speed nor light - it's dark as elephant's ass and slower than sloth...

One look at my cinema affections... Or something like it...

As I was browsing in different blogs, searching for something interesting, I came across a nicely done article in Operation Kino blog - a blog which is written by highly sklilful people, dedicated to the world of cinematic experiences and delivering quality materials for all fans. 

So, there I found one article, which was shaped as Q&A subject with some truly imaginative cinema questions. I've already gave my comments and answers (the Bulgarian readers my found them in the second part of this article), however I wanted to prepare a different set of answers related only towards the world of martial arts movies. 

And there it is - my ultimate view over my favorite genre - behold its mighty stance!
