ok... i realize now that the entire point of my post was lost on you because the image was broken. allow me to repeat myself:


i don't know what it was, i missed the titles, but i watched a movie my nieghbor said was called drunken fist with jackie chan, but it wasn't Jui kuen (1978) [which i've seen around 8 times, which was why i didn't rush over to their place to catch the credits....] and i didn't see jackie chan in it anywhere, unless he was just so young i didn't recognize him....[for example i dont know if i'd recognize jackie chan in Qin Xiang Lian (1964)]

i'm almost certain it wasn't Jui kuen II (1994) [which i've never seen, but i'm pretty sure i'd recognize Rumble in the Bronx era Jackie Chan, duh...]

i was having trouble telling when the movie was made because i try to watch these things in mandarin or cantonese with the subtitles, but my nieghbors apparently selected "bad hong kong british/fake cockney" from the language menu. i was trying really hard not to laugh even though i wanted to watch the kung fu. i'm pretty sure it wasn't actually a jackie chan movie, but it did involve drunken fist kung fu.

do you know what movie this might be?

the king of kong is the last one i remember watching.

Differences

The Final Cut contains the following differences (in order of appearance) from the 1992 Director's Cut:

1. The fireballs in the opening refinery shot are correctly synchronized with the associated light play on the smokestacks. Some of these had been off-sync in earlier versions.
2. The shot of Deckard waiting to eat at the White Dragon has been shortened, its editing reminiscent of the workprint version of the shot. This was done due to the removal of the voiceover.
3. Smoke has been added behind the cook when he serves Deckard.
4. The cables lifting Gaff's police spinner are no longer plainly visible. (Cables were also removed from another shot of a spinner late in the film, just before Deckard enters Sebastian's apartment building.)
5. As Deckard enters Bryant's office, Bryant's statement "I've got four skinjobs walking the streets" is no longer obviously a spliced-in re-recording.
6. Bryant's line "One of them got fried running through an electrical field" is changed to "Two of them..." to remove the numerical inconsistency later on.
7. Bryant adds a new line about Leon being able to lift 400 pound atomic loads all day and night. This is from the work print.
8. All the violent scenes in the International Cut that were deleted in the U.S. theatrical release and Director's Cut are restored to the Final Cut.
9. When Gaff and Deckard first appear at Leon's apartment, the landlord now says "Kowalski", another small bit originally from the workprint.
10. A background behind Batty when he is first introduced speaking to Leon has been changed. As the shot was taken from a later scene, this has now been corrected to appear as if Batty is actually in the phone booth as Leon finds him.
11. Deckard's conversation with the snake merchant Abdul Ben Hassan has been altered so that the dialogue is no longer out of sync; Ford's son, Ben, lip-synched the spoken dialog and his mouth was digitally placed over his father's.
12. A shot of the busy crowds in the streets was restored. Immediately after that, a shot of two strippers wearing hockey goalie masks was restored. Finally, there's a shot of Deckard talking to another police officer just prior to Deckard entering the Snake Pit. These three shots had previously appeared in slightly different form in the workprint version.
13. The original full-length version of the unicorn dream has been restored. This is a much different version than the one that appeared in the Director's Cut, and has never been in any version seen by the public prior to this one. Deckard is shown to be awake, previously he was asleep or nearly asleep.
14. During Deckard's pursuit of Zhora, Joanna Cassidy's face has been digitally superimposed over that of the stunt double, Lee Pulford. This scene was re-filmed specifically for the Final Cut. Although great effort had been undertaken to replace stunt double face with Cassidy's, the tan-colored protective suit Pulford wore to protect against glass cuts is still visible.
15. A scar on Deckard's face after his "retirement" of Zhora has been removed. Originally, the scene in which Deckard meets Bryant after retiring Zhora was to take place after his encounter with Leon, explaining the scar. This was done prior to the removal of the "sixth replicant," creating a continuity error. Due to the re-ordering, the scar was always present before Deckard had actually gotten it.
16. When Batty confronts Tyrell, he says, "I want more life, father." (from the workprint version, an alternate take intended for but never used in television broadcasts of the film), as opposed to the original line "I want more life, fucker." The line also has a noticeably deeper tonal quality than the previous versions.
17. The scene of Roy Batty crushing Tyrell's skull is now more graphic, with blood pouring out of Tyrell's eye sockets while Roy pushes his thumbs in them.
18. After killing Tyrell, Batty says "I'm sorry Sebastian. Come. Come." when in the original he merely approached the frightened Sebastian. This is also from the workprint.
19. When Pris attacks Deckard she hits him three times and also holds him up by his nostrils afterwards.
20. When Deckard retires Pris he shoots her three times.
21. After Batty releases the dove, it now flies up into a dark rainy sky instead of a blue sky.

it's just corrections and cleanups, that is all, but it's just the same movie--- except... better.

There will be blood

I don't think it's great actually. The film is austere to the point of being boring, the story of the self-made man who gets corrupted isn't that original and there's something wrong with the main character's supposed misanthropy: he actually seems to be someone who cares about other people's existence and therefore his ending-up murdering people around him is not credible.

Best damn romantic movie ever. No other even comes near this one. I never get tired of this movie, even though it makes me really sad.

This is in my top 10.

As for myself. I'm planning on watching Dig! again. Not for the first time since I own it on dvd. I just haven't seen it in over a year and coming across some clips on youtube made me want to see it all over again.

i loved these films
i showed my gf them, and we sat and watched them together

so nice

[!@#$%!]

^^ julie delpy is superdelicious in that movie. i can't think of anyone watching it & not developing this insane crush on her. really an awesome film, even if it's a bit of an indulgent wish-fulfillment piece for gen-xers-- i loved it.

[Style]

i almost once had an opportunity to watch those films with a girl i had only talked to on the phone. it would've been cool because two people who never met getting together to watch a film about two people meeting for the first time and spending time together. but i ended up getting sick.

me and the girlfriend watched some movies

Michael Clayton

 

I enjoyed the movie, I work in a law firm and they got all that shit dead on. I give it 3 1/2 stars out of 4, maybe just 3.



Elizabeth Golden Age

 

slightly boring romance disguised as history. Basically one of those movies where you are suposed to gaze lovingly at the "fabulous costumes!" total load of shit historically though. no reason for her to be nominated for an oscar for this.
I give it 2 1/2 stars. Not dreadful, but cannot recommend it.

[afterthefact]

 

It was actually really good, much better than I was expecting, since I knew nothing of it until I saw it.
