I tried to find that martial arts movie thread that I created a while ago, but I couldn’t find it!I found the post where I mentioned I wanted to make it, but and I remember having done so, but it does seem to be gone, since I know I would have mentioned certain movies in there and searching for posts by me with those film titles returns nothing. Oh well. It doesn’t matter.
Mrs. Gaagaagiins and I just watched Iron Monkey. Sometimes when I am about to post about something here on the forums, I do a search first, to see if anyone else has talked about it, so I can compare and contrast my feelings about things to what has already been said. Don’t want to be too redundant.
Unless there was mention of it in that martial arts movie thread that is now gone, only one person has talked about Iron Monkey (1993) so far, and it was Elder Dirtbag, @MoxBagel:
Have to totally agree on the enthusiasm! I was even surprised that this is the only mention of it on the whole forum.
Features a young Donnie Yen kicking absolute ass, some solid comedy, super charming wu xia style wire work and larger than life tricks and stunts, an abundance of filial piety, and, wow, the finale really just starts kicking everything into high gear and it doesn’t stop going until it’s over.
