Chinese action movie delivers ‘An Inaccurate Memoir’

"An Inaccurate Memoir" Character Poster

This is officially labelled ‘coolest movie I hadn’t even heard of until today.’ 24 Frames Per Second linked the trailer and some great character posters for the upcoming Chinese action/thriller An Inaccurate Memoir. Not much is known about the film despite the fact that it opens in China on April 28, but if you watch the trailer it speaks for itself.

Vicious bank robbers, sweaty tough guys, cute school girls slashing throats with katanas, and tanks busting through walls. Yeah, this is my kind of movie. An Inaccurate Memoir comes to us from director Yang Shupeng (The Robbers) and stars Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Yi and Zhang Xinyiand. Hopefully we’ll hear more about it in the months to come.

Update: An Inaccurate Memoir premiered in Beijing on April 17th. The film is opening up against some stiff competition at the Chinese box office: Titanic, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, and Wrath of the Titans. Producer and leading man Huang Xiaoming suggested that Chinese moviemakers should work together to help promote Chinese cinema and guarantee their success against Hollywood blockbusters. The link has two new trailers for the film as well.

Maniac Cop Blu-ray (Synapse)

We’re a day or two late on this (hey, we can’t catch everything!) but it appears that Drive filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn is lined up to produce a remake of Maniac Cop. Director William Lustig’s cult favorite action/horror flick came out back in 1988 and featured B-movie icon Bruce Campbell. Lustig is working on this new film as well, alongside original writer/producer Larry Cohen.

Says Cohen: “It’s going to be more a prequel than anything else, I am really excited to come back to this world especially since Nick is going to be a part of it.”

The Flowers of War Blu-ray & DVD (Lionsgate)

Today’s Deal on Fire is the Blu-ray for The Flowers of War (read our review), a 2011 film from acclaimed director Zhang Yimou (Hero, Shadow, The Great Wall).

The film, set during the Japanese invasion of China, is told from a young girl’s point of view, not as a history lesson, but as an intimate, elemental and paradoxically universal celebration of the human spirit. Bale stars as a dissolute Westerner who seeks refuge in a Catholic Church. There he meets a beautiful Chinese courtesan who helps him rescue a group of schoolgirls from a terrible fate at the hands of the Japanese. The film represents one of China’s most ambitious productions, involving the recreation of 1937 Nanking built from scratch over a one-year period and the collaboration of one of Hollywood’s most sought after leading men (Christian Bale).

Why is it so hard for new talent to break into the Hong Kong film industry? – Update: Hong Kong Film Awards winners have been announced!

The 31st Hong Kong Film Awards

The Hong Kong Film Awards will be held tomorrow, April 15th, at the Hong Kong Cultural Center. In preparation of the event, website Chinese Films has an article lamenting the fact that it is increasingly difficult for new talent to make waves in the Hong Kong film industry.

The article makes notice that many of the filmmakers nominated for the Best Director award – like Tsui Hark, Ann Hui, and Johnnie To – have been in the industry for decades. Andy Lau and Lau Ching-Wan, both up for the Best Actor award, have similarly been in the business a long time.

Kwok Chin-kin, director of the critically acclaimed Gallants, spoke about why it’s so difficult for new talent to break into movies in Hong Kong. Says Chin-kin: “The Hong Kong film industry is completely controlled by commercial interests. The investors are ultimately businessmen. Employing new actors may cost them less money, but the risk is very high, simply because box office revenues cannot be guaranteed.”

Ip Man producer Wong Bak-Ming puts it this way: “Presented with an audience of 1.3 billion people, mainly on the mainland, a film’s content should cater to mainland audiences. Bigger markets mean bigger film productions, which, normally only capable directors are able to manage. So, younger directors who have little experience have few chances to make an impact.”

As the years go by, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that Hong Kong cinema needs new talent in order to survive. The old guard of fan favorites, like director Tsui Hark and star Donnie Yen, continue to put out quality work but there is arguably a general lack of innovation and risk-taking in Hong Kong films today. Perhaps the industry needs to, in essence, return to its roots and give new filmmakers the opportunity to try and recapture the spark, the energy that dominated Hong Kong cinema during the 80’s and 90’s.

BREAKING NEWS: Lovehkfilm.com has the detailed list of nominees and winners at this year’s Hong Kong Film Awards.

No Retreat, No Surrender II | aka Raging Thunder (1987) Review

“Raging Thunder” Japanese Theatrical Poster

“Raging Thunder” Japanese Theatrical Poster

Director: Corey Yuen
Cast: Loren Avedon, Matthias Hues, Max Thayer, Cynthia Rothrock, Hwang Jang Lee, Roy Horan, Patra Wanthivanond, Nirut Sirichanya, Chesda ‘Pop’ Smithsuth
Running Time: 97/104 min.

By Jeff Bona

If you think Jackie Chan and John Woo were the first (after Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon, of course) to introduce real Hong Kong action to mainstream moviegoers in America, think again.

In 1985, Hong Kong’s Seasonal Film Corporation, the company that was responsible for making Jackie Chan a star with 1978’s Drunken Master, started producing American productions that blew viewers away; particularly, those looking for the same type of inspiring action they saw in accessible Golden Harvest action films of the 1980’s. What started with 1985’s No Retreat, No Surrender – Corey Yuen’s English-language debut feature, and also the movie that put Jean-Claude Van Damme on the map – continued with 1987’s No Retreat, No Surrender 2 (aka Raging Thunder).

Corey Yuen, the director/action choreographer of the first No Retreat, No Surrender, was back in the director’s chair for Part 2. Back then, Yuen was known in Hong Kong for directing classics such as 1981’s Tower of Death, 1982’s Ninja in the Dragon’s Den, and 1985’s Yes, Madam! It wasn’t until 1998 that Yuen finally exploded in the Hollywood circuit, thanks to Richard Donner giving him full control over Jet Li’s action sequences in Lethal Weapon 4. Since then, he has directed 2002’s The Transporter and has choreographed a number of big Hollywood films, including 2001’s Kiss of the Dragon and 2010’s The Expendables.

In addition to Corey Yuen, both Kurt McKinney and Jean-Claude Van Damme were also supposed to return. According to screenwriter Keith W. Strandberg, neither McKinney or Van Damme showed up in Thailand for the first day of shooting. Apparently, Van Damme broke his contract and did Bloodsport instead; and rumor has it that McKinney rejected because he had just gotten married and his wife didn’t like the idea of him filming on the Cambodian border.

At this point, No Retreat, No Surrender 2 desperately needed a new leading man who could not only carry himself on camera, but also look good fighting on-screen. Producer Roy Horan (he’s the Charles Manson-looking guy who appeared in Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow and Tower of Death) turned to a 23-year-old Tae Kwon Do expert named Loren Avedon, who was chosen over 75 other candidates to replace McKinney. At the time, Avedon was a used car salesman whose only claim to fame was a bit part in 1985’s Ninja Turf. A week later, he was off to Thailand to begin filming his first starring film.

Filling in for Van Damme was newcomer Matthias Hues, a German bodybuilder who I personally describe as “Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren rolled into one,” in other words, Hues was the perfect choice to play the bad guy. International star power was added in the form of martial arts sensation Cynthia Rothrock, who had already made a name for herself in Hong Kong with 1985’s Yes, Madam! and 1986’s Millionaire’s Express. In addition, Iron Eagle’s Max Thayer and martial arts movie legend Hwang Jang Lee (Drunken Master) were also brought in.

Contrary to popular belief, No Retreat, No Surrender 2 was always intended to have an unrelated story (a sequel to the original, by name only). Even if McKinney and Van Damme returned, they would be playing two, totally different characters.

If No Retreat, No Surrender was Yuen’s answer to The Karate Kid, then No Retreat, No Surrender 2 was his answer to Rambo. The plot of Part 2 concerns a Tae Kwon Do expert named Scott Wyld (Loren Avedon), who visits his girlfriend (Patra Wanthivanond) in Thailand. Soon after the two meet up, she is kidnapped and held hostage in Cambodia. With the help of his friend Mac (Max Thayer) and Terry (Cynthia Rothrock), Scott travels to Cambodia in hopes of rescuing his girlfriend from Russian and Vietnamese troops, headed by a Russian general (Matthias Hues).

If you can get over the fact that Avedon isn’t exactly a graduate of The Birmingham School of Acting, then you’ll realize that No Retreat, No Surrender 2 is one of the best action movies of the 1980’s. Sure, the film has corny moments, cheesy one-liners and third rate acting; but once the brawling kicks in, you’re in action movie heaven. The fight sequences are swift, solid, tightly edited and very creative. Even the sound effects used are crisp and organic. Not all the action is a bunch of flips and kicks, there’s motorcycle stunts, shootouts, explosions and even Max Thayer drinking fresh snake blood (like, really drinking it, as shown in a one-take shot).

With a choreographer like Corey Yuen, almost anyone can look good fighting on screen; but with someone like Avedon under his command, the result is top notch. Till this day, I have yet to see a non-Chinese actor who can pull off Hong Kong choreography the way Avedon does; with that said, I consider him to be one of the most underrated names in the history of martial arts film. The bottom line is: Avedon is a natural when it comes to on-screen fighting. It’s no wonder The Seasonal Film Corporation had him sign a 3-picture deal before production of Part 2 even wrapped up.

Cynthia Rothrock is just as awesome – and this goes without saying – being the seasoned, butt-kicking babe that she is. Even Max Thayer gets down and dirty, although he is obviously body-doubled 95% of the time. Kung fu cinema fanatics will get a kick out of Hwang Jang Lee’s appearance; despite his non-speaking role, he has a chunky duel with Rothrock. Matthias Hues, who handles his action scenes like a champ, goes full force against Avedon during the film’s climactic battle.

During their release, I feel that No Retreat, No Surrender 1 and 2 were too ahead of their time to be fully appreciated. Or it could be that the excellence of both films were easily overshadowed by their cheese factor. Whatever the case, Corey Yuen and Seasonal Films were the first – since Bruce Lee and Golden Harvest – to bring real Hong Kong flavor in an American action movie. Not even Jackie Chan’s early U.S. films, like 1980’s The Big Brawl or 1985’s The Protector, showcased the action he was famous for (and we can blame the directors of those two films for that).

If you’re a fan of Hong Kong, martial arts or action movies in general, then No Retreat, No Surrender 2 is easily a must-see. Plain and simple.

Gemma Arterton to star in unofficial remake of Japanese film ‘2LDK’?

"Aragami" and "2LDK" UK DVD

The Hollywood Reporter gives word that Gemma Arterton is close to starring in a new film called The Wright Girls from Relativity Media. The article pays mention that the film is a dark comedy “inspired” by the Japanese film 2LDK. So I guess you don’t have to pay for remake rights if you claim you’re only riffing on the source material?

This version of the 2LDK story comes from Easy A screenwriter Bert Royal. Andy Fickman (She’s the Man) is in talks to direct. Rumors circulated that Megan Fox might co-star but they appear to be unfounded.

Fans of Japanese cinema may recall that 2LDK followed two actresses sharing an apartment together and putting on a front of normalcy when, in reality, they hated each other’s guts. In fact, it didn’t take long for them to engage in a knockdown, drag-out brawl.

2003’s 2LDK was part of a cinematic ‘bet’ between director Yukihiko Tsutsumi and Versus filmmaker, Ryuhei Kitamura, to see if they could make a film with only two characters in one location. Kitamura’s offering was the samurai flick Aragami. 2LDK ended up gaining more notoriety and acclaim overall, but those looking for a good old-fashioned swordplay flick would be wise to seek out Aragami as well. – Thanks to Cityonfire.com alumni Ningen for the heads up

‘The Ring’ enters the third dimension with ‘Sadako 3D’ – new pictures!

"Sadako 3D" Japanese Theatrical Poster

The static on your TV might not just be bad reception – that evil little girl from Ringu and The Ring is back. Based on the forthcoming novel from original Ringu author Koji Suzuki, Sadako 3D is a 3D horror film continuing the tragic tale of Sadako, the long-haired ghost with a penchant for climbing out of wells. Sadako 3D hits Japanese cinemas on May 15th but for now we have a teaser trailer.

The movie looks admittedly low-budget with some rough production values and an overbearing emphasis on the 3D effect but, hey. At least the producers are updating the formula for the 21st century: this time around it’s not a video tape that kills you after seven days, it’s an internet viral video. Then again, Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Kairo (AKA Pulse) kinda did that whole thing to perfection way back in 2001.

Update: If you’re terrified every time your browser hits a dead link, this latest batch of images from Sadako 3D might just scare the pants off you! Here’s the full-length trailer.

All About Lily Chou-Chou (2001) Review

All About Lily Chou-Chou | Blu-ray (Film Movement)

All About Lily Chou-Chou | Blu-ray (Film Movement)

Director: Shunji Iwai
Writer: Shunji Iwai
Producer: Koko Maeda
Cast: Hayato Ichihara, Shugo Oshinari, Ayumi Ito, Takao Osawa, Miwako Ichikawa, Izumi Inamori
Running Time: 140 min.

By Alexander

As I sit here typing this review I’m still trying to figure out whether I like “All About Lily Chou Chou” or not.

On one hand, it’s a beautiful film, filled with gorgeous images of rural Japan. The shot of young Yuichi in his school uniform listening to his CD player in a field of tall green grass is haunting and gorgeous in its composition. It’s perfectly symbolic of the movie’s wayward, lawless and seemingly parentless teens who are tethered to the world around them only by the ethereal music of singer Lily Chou Chou.

The performances are wonderful across the board. Particularly impressive is Hayato Ichihara (who was only 12 when filming began on “All About Lily Chou Chou”) as Yûichi Hasumi, the quiet, slightly nerdy and often bullied Lily fan. He doesn’t have a ton of dialogue in the film, but he manages convey that array of emotions we all felt when we were 12- and 13-years old–those first pangs of arousal, angst, jealousy, fear, humility and anger. Shûgo Oshinari (“Battle Royale II”) is fantastic as well. He plays Shusuke Hoshino, whose ascent into young adulthood the movie also chronicles. His transition from often picked-on stellar student to being a brutal bully himself is one of the more tragic aspects of the film, yet also one of its most captivating.

And the music? Is incredible. As soon as the movie was finished I went online to track down its soundtrack (and in the process discovered that some of “Lily Chou Chou’s” score, by composer Takeshi Kobayashi, made its way into Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill Vol. 1”). Both the faux pop songs by the fictional Lily and the haunting score are a delight. It’s easy to see why these kids would be so captivated by her music.

I also enjoyed the way “All About Lily Chou Chou” was shot. It’s very cinema verite in feel and I had to remind myself on ocassion that the movie wasn’t a documentary. The many scenes shot with handheld cameras made me feel like I was tagging along with these kids, whether on an ill-fated vacation to Okinawa or an assault on one of their classmates. The handhelds really did manage to draw me in further than I would have been otherwise. I felt like I was actual witness to some of the events in the movie, but was ultimately powerless–as Yuichi often is–to affect any of it.

On the OTHER hand, “All About Lily Chou Chou” is essentially plotless. The only constant throughout is the teen’s fascination with Lily and their anonymous online rants about what her music means to them. It’s a very tenuous thread, and the film’s climax is minimized to near-inconsequence by a myriad of other things going on. The climax isn’t really a climax at all, just another bump on these kids’ road to maturity and adulthood. It doesn’t have near the impact I’m guessing the filmakers wanted it to have. And be forewarned that the narrative jumps around A LOT, to the point of distraction. By the time I figured out I was watching a flashback, the flashback would be over and I’d struggle to stay apace of “Chou Chou’s” meandering “story.”

Of course, the jumpy narrative and the hodgepodge of events and the many other random goings on in the film could probably be explained away with some heavy commentary on the confusion and torment and fear surrounding that transition from preteen to teen. I’m positive that’s what writer and director Shunji Iwai was shooting for when he crafted “All About Lily Chou.” And on some levels it works. On some it doesn’t. You’re going to have to decide for yourself.

Alexander’s Rating: 7.5/10

Argento’s ‘Suspiria’ to be remade by ‘Pineapple Express’ director

"Suspiria" Japanese Theatrical Poster

"Suspiria" Japanese Theatrical Poster

Collider reports that The Sitter’s David Gordon Green is on board to direct a remake of Dario Argento’s most successful film, Suspiria. The 1977 Italian horror film is about an American dance student who transfers to an academy in Germany, only to discover that it’s dominated by witchcraft.

Director David Gordon Green doesn’t seem like a prime candidate for a horror film, especially since his name is widely associated with comedies like Your Highness and The Sitter – but what most people don’t know is he has as much experience making hard-hitting dramas like All the Real Girls and Snow Angels; and with 2004’s Undertow, he isn’t exactly a stranger to horror films either.

Be sure and check back for more updates. Until then, watch the trailer for the original Suspiria.
