Mekong, this is where you and I will have to agree to disagree, I always thought the Sopranos was over-rated (nothing against Gandolfini, RIP). Game of Thrones is without a doubt the best TV series (HBO) I've ever seen, 2cd place would be "the wire" (hence a little agreement there).

 

 

 

Jai Rai,

 

No problem with a difference of opinion about the Sopranos, the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things. Glad we could agree on The Wire though.

Sex and Fury, from the "Pinky Violence Collection". A Japanese movie with English subs. You could call it porn but there's no genitals on view and there is a huge amount of story (plot). They still get in a bit of whipping and Japanese rope bondage though. This predates Tarantino, it could have been one of his influences (he was 10 in '73). It does suffer from the - 15 people attacking one person dance, where 14 people dance around fancifully whilst the hero/ine deals with them one at a time. Other than that, an entertaining flick.

That annoys the shit out of me. I get the fact that most filums require a suspension of disbelief but that's worse than the unlimited ammunition magazines most movie guns seem to possess!

...or, in the USA (Cowboys & Indians) where the Indians encircle the Cowboys, while the Cowboys

shoot up all the Indians, the Indians fall down and then off scene get back on the horse for another

go around...

 

it was OK when you are 8 years old...

Or...

 

When the lead actor is a tough guy, he can always park in front of city hall or where ever.

 

or...

 

When they need to be seen going into a place, they park the car 50 metres away then run into the building.

 

or...

 

If they are following someone or trying to sneak up on someone at night, they leave the headlights on...

 

and... the car's windows are always open

 

and when the hero has been beaten to within an inch of his life, he leaps up good as new and performs a series of Olympic like feats...

 

Aaahhh, I could go on....

Just watched a mainland Chinese fighter movie "King of the Streets" (2012). Same same here: a fighter is surrounded by 12 guys with metal bars and not one is able to him in the back... It destroys the whole plot.
