Yeah...DTG had a weak story, but c'mon...it's not like that's why you were watching it. I just wanted to see Donnie Yen and Nicolas Tse stomp some ass. On that end, it paid off. Easily one of Yen's more impressive performances. Kind of reminded me of older Biao Yuen films. What ever happened to that guy, anyway?
Anyhow...The City Of Violence is pretty damn good for a cop/martial arts flick. In typical Korean style it starts off as a rather mediocre good-cop-gets-vengeance-for-friend story and end up in a final fight scene lasting a good 20 minutes where 2 guys take on 100 guys and ruin their shit. I'll have to check out Dog Bite Dog. If it's even close to as violent as Hard Boiled or the first 2 A Better Tomorrow movies, I'll be happy. Currently I'm downloading a Tony Jaa movie from '99 called Spirited Killer. That...and a Stephen Chow flick called King Of Beggars
