Black Mask 2

[ssbomberman]

I know some of us have been talking about this film that comes out on DVD in December (I believe). There is now a trailer online at http://us.imdb.com/Trailers?0264429&...lay&E16218&6&3

For me this a definite buy, sure it's straight to video but both Tsui Hark and Yuen Wo Ping are invovled and the trailer looks good. Also, they are running a deal that if you buy this or XXX you get a free DVD -- here's more info http://www.dvdplanet.com/xxx/xxx.asp

Cool I will download the trailer tomorrow at work

Thanks Ssbomberman.

And I'm definately will be getting this. I liked original Black Mask, and I'm huge Tsui Hark fan, plus Yuen Woo-ping involment never hurt.

Is Van Dam is this too? No not Jean Claude Van Damme but the WWE Wrestler RVD? Last I heard he had a part in it.

I will check it out when I get a chance.

[Despair]

Yep, He's in it. Plus some other wrestlers as well. And Tracy Lords.

[Regus]

Wow, they made a sequel!?
Heh, I'm there, I liked the first first one, despite the crap.

[Korian]

Not to hijack SSbomerman's thread, but has anyone seen Van Damme's new movie "Derailed" I saw it last night at Blockbuster? is it good?

[ssbomberman]

I was wondering that myself...I may have to rent it...there's also "The Order" w/VD--is that one any good also?

[Despair]

No ! No ! No !

If you want to see a good movie, stay away from the Derailed my friends. I like Van Damme, but this one is AWFULL.

This time around Van Damme takes on Seagal - Take two of Seagals WORST movies - UnderSiege 2 and The Patriot. Mix them together, set it in Europe, put bunch of awful actors in, spice it up with most silly and campy sfx sequnces ever and you got it !

Van Damme plays European agent for some secret organization. So secret that no one in the movie bothers to even name it. But he knows all the important people in CIA and in Europe. Then he gets an assignment to meet and transfer a woman spy to his Bosses. She is in the run in Bratislave(Slovakia), so he has to kick some military ass before they can get to the train. But here is the catch, he is a family man, but his family thinks he is Businessman(wait the minute, is it a nod to True Lies?). But since its his birthday, they show up on the train, and ofcourse see him with another woman. Then bunch of terrorist show up, and take everyone hostage, and demand the DEADLY VIRUS that woman spy is carrying. So Van Damme has to follow up Seagals footsteps to free the train passangers from the danger. He even get a help from the train porter, only this time he is like 70 old man As Van Damme does his heroics, lots of silliness happen, like like terrorists dropping the case with virus vials, and one of them breaking so most of the people on the train become sick, except for main hero and his opponents, who dont get sick, so Van Damme just kills them. Hightlight of the film is a moment when Van Damme is riding a MOTORCYCLE on top of the moving train, while shooting at the bad guy on the top of the other moving train, that is going in opposite direction. WOW !!!

I'm usually all for some campy fun, but this one was beyond ridiculos You've been warned

The Order is a better film. Its not very action packed, but at least it has somewhat interesting story, and does have some fights in it. Worth a rent.
