Classics / The Master (Released: 1992)
Last post by FWN Adm - April 02, 2025, 07:46:09 PM
The story occurs in Los Angeles, where a fight between Master Tak (Yuen Wah) and Johnny (Jerry Trimble) destroys Tak's herbal medicine store. Johnny is prevented from killing Tak when Anna (Anne Rickets) comes to save him. During his recovery he stays in Anna's camper van. Anna is both a janitor and a student from a gymnastics school but was banned from competing and attending for physically attacking a fellow classmate. As a result, Anna ends up being fired by her coach, who is already fed up with Anna's bad behaviour.

Jet (Jet Li) arrives from Hong Kong on the airport bus. When he arrives at Tak's store to resume as Tak's Kung Fu student, he finds the store shuttered and three thieves steal his bag. He chases their car on foot through the streets and eventually catches them. The thieves are so impressed with Jet's physical skills they beg him to be their master. They take Jet to their home (an abandoned municipal building) but they are attacked by a larger gang. Jet reluctantly steps in to defend his new friends, but their home is set on fire.

Johnny and his gang are closing down kung fu schools and making a name for themselves. Jet meets May (Crystal Kwok), a bank worker responsible for the loan on Tak's store - but neither knows where Master Tak is. Jet finds himself in the middle of a robbery at a carpark. He finds himself fighting beside Johnny, but Johnny recognizes him from one of Tak's pictures and makes it clear he intends to kill both Jet and Tak. Anna and Jet's friends get beaten up, so Jet trains his friends to defend themselves. Jet is eventually re-united with Tak, but Tak claims he is no longer interested in either teaching Kung Fu or doing herbal medicine.

Jet and his friends go to Tak's store and prepare to deal with Johnny's gang. The three friends put their newfound skills into practice fighting four members of Johnny's gang. Jet and Johnny fight outside the store until the police step in.

Jet and Tak argue, and Jet decides to return to Hong Kong. On the airport bus he is attacked by two dreadlocked men armed with a shotgun who were at the carpark. Jet manages to defeat the men and regain control of the bus despite a shotgun blast killing the driver. May has been following the bus in her car, possibly intending to express romantic interest in Jet. In the meantime, Tak and the three friends make their way to a rooftop where Johnny and his gang are holding Anna hostage.

Jet and May go to Tak's store to find a note and a will. They quickly make their way to the rooftop of a tall building where Tak has disabled 15 or 20 of Johnny's men but is beginning to tire due to his age. Jet takes over for his master and fights Johnny while Tak and the friends defeat the rest of the gang and rescue Anna. After an intense fight Jet manages to kick Johnny off a hanging wire to his death.

Anna goes on her trip with the gymnastics class for the competition, implying her ban was lifted. Jet boards the airport bus, once again intending to go to Hong Kong. To his surprise he finds May there as well; planning to go with him for a holiday, but the three friends and Master Tak drive up beside the bus: Master Tak has stolen Jet's passport; so he cannot leave. Jet and the others laugh at May's misfortune of traveling alone but she in anger and frustration shoves her ticket in Jet's mouth as the credits roll.

Classics / The Blade (1995)
Last post by FWN Adm - April 02, 2025, 07:42:08 PM
Ding-on is an orphaned blacksmith working in Sharp Foundry, which is run by his master, a friend of his deceased father. The master's daughter, Ling, who narrates the movie, is romantically attracted to both Ding-on and his colleague, Iron Head. One day, Ding-on and Iron Head see a monk fending off a group of thugs, who later ambush and kill him in revenge. Iron Head is so furious that he identifies himself as someone from Sharp Foundry and taunts the thugs to fight him. The master is angry when he hears of Iron Head's reckless behaviour so he punishes him. Iron Head holds a grudge against Ding-on for telling their master about the incident. He becomes even more unhappy when their master announces his decision to make Ding-on his successor.

That night, Ding-on overhears a conversation between Ling and her grandmother, and learns that his father died while saving Ling's father from Flying Dragon, a notorious heavily-tattooed assassin. Ding-on desires to seek revenge so he takes his father's weapon, a broken sword (the titular Blade), and bids his master farewell. Ling tries to catch up with him but runs into trouble with the thugs. Ding-on hears Ling's screams for help and returns to save her. He fights with the thugs but loses his right arm and falls off a cliff.

Ding-on is saved and nursed back to health by a peasant called Blackie. Seeing that he is now crippled, Ding-on abandons his quest for vengeance, buries his father's sword, and tries to lead a normal life with Blackie. At the same time, Ling and Iron Head venture out in search of Ding-on, whom they believe to be still alive. During this period of time, Ling gradually becomes more disillusioned with life and people, especially after she witnesses Iron Head taking advantage of a prostitute whom he saved earlier.

Meanwhile, Ding-on endures humiliation while working in a restaurant. One day, he sees Flying Dragon and feels very frustrated because he can no longer take revenge. One night, a gang of bandits burn down his house, tie him upside-down, and beat him mercilessly. Later, Blackie finds a martial arts manual hidden by her parents and passes it to Ding-on. Ding-on becomes excited and tries to learn the techniques in the book, but cannot afford a good weapon so he uses his father's broken sword. Owing to his handicap and the book's incompleteness, Ding-on's efforts turn out to be futile initially. However, when driven to rage by his frustration, he suddenly makes a breakthrough and develops a devastating spinning movement which allows him to compensate for his lack of an arm and his broken weapon.

Ding-on kills the bandits who burnt down his house and saves Ling from danger but does not reveal himself to her. At the same time, an evil man called Skeleton recruits Flying Dragon to help him destroy Sharp Foundry and kill everyone there. A battle breaks out between Flying Dragon and Sharp Foundry's blacksmiths. While his master is struggling to defend himself, Ding-on returns in the nick of time to save his master, and he kills Flying Dragon after a long fight. Skeleton and his men flee after seeing that Flying Dragon is dead. Ding-on then turns his back on Sharp Foundry and leaves with Blackie. In the final scene, an aged Ling imagines herself embracing Ding-on and returning to the happier times in the past.

Classics / The Brave Archer (1977)
Last post by FWN Adm - April 02, 2025, 07:34:53 PM
Guo Jing and Yang Kang are the sons of two rebels. The rebels are killed by imperial soldiers, and then, the boys are rescued by six skilled pugilists. The pugilists agree to separate the two boys, tutor them separately in martial arts, and let them meet again when they have grown up, to determine whose abilities are better. Guo becomes the student of the "Seven Freaks of Jiangnan" while Yang Kang becomes the foster son of a Jurchen prince inadvertently.

When he reaches adulthood, Guo Jing travels to a local town, where he meets and befriends a beggar named Huang Rong, who is actually the daughter of Huang Yaoshi, master of Peach Blossom Island. He also meets Yang Kang, without knowing Yang's true identity, during a contest to win the hand-in-marriage of Mu Nianci, the adopted daughter of Yang's father. Yang's father is actually still alive. Yang Kang is tempted by the wealth and fame of being a noble, and he refuses to acknowledge and betrays his father, while his mother commits suicide.

Huang Rong reveals to Guo Jing later that she is actually a woman and they go on adventure together. Guo Jing learns the "Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms" from the "Nine-fingered Beggar" Hong Qigong, while Huang Rong is groomed by Hong to become his successor as chief of the Beggars' Sect. Guo and Huang travel to Peach Blossom Island later to meet Huang's father. Huang Yaoshi does not approve of his daughter's marriage to Guo Jing. While exploring the island, Guo Jing meets a strange man called Zhou Botong who teaches him special martial arts techniques and forces him to read a manual, which is later revealed to be written by Huang Rong's late mother.

Ouyang Feng visits Peach Blossom Island with his nephew Ouyang Ke, and he proposes a marriage between his nephew and Huang Rong. Just then, Hong Qigong also arrives and he strongly supports Guo Jing to marry Huang Rong. Eventually, Huang Yaoshi arranges for a contest between Guo Jing and Ouyang Ke to determine who is worthy of his daughter's hand-in-marriage. The last part of the contest involves both of them having to read a manual and recite it from memory later. As Guo had already read the manual earlier, he recites it easily and wins the contest. Huang Yaoshi agrees to his daughter's marriage to Guo Jing. However, Ouyang Feng realizes that the manual is actually the fabled Nine Yin Manual and he wants it for himself.

Classics / A Chinese Odyssey - Part 1 & 2...
Last post by FWN Adm - April 02, 2025, 05:20:49 PM
Part 1

500 years ago, during their journey to the west to fetch the Buddhist scriptures, Monkey got annoyed with the constant nagging of his master, Longevity Monk, and decided to betray him. He was intercepted and subdued by Guanyin, who decided to give him a second chance after Longevity Monk pleaded for leniency and sacrificed himself.

Joker is the chief of a group of outlaws. Joker and his gang are attacked by two demons, Spider Woman and Bak Jing-jing, who threaten and force them to search nearby travelers for 3 dots on their feet, an indication of Monkey. Joker's second-in-command (a reincarnation of Pigsy) overhears the demons' plan to capture Longevity Monk and feast on his flesh to gain immortality, prompting Spider Woman to force him into servitude. Joker subsequently falls in love with Bak Jing-jing. Grandpa Buddha informs Joker about the danger he is in, gives him a magic mirror which can reveal a being's true form, and claims to the suspicious demons that Joker is a reincarnation of Monkey to give them time to escape.

The group are attacked by Bull King, who is also after Longevity Monk. Joker and Pigsy flee with Bak Jing-jing and Spider Woman to Waterfall Cave, where the two demons starts fighting over Joker. Bak Jing-jing and Joker eventually flee from the cave while Spider Woman is impregnated with Pigsy's child by accident. As Bak Jing-jing has been poisoned by Spider Woman, Joker goes back to the cave to ask for the antidote, but is imprisoned by Spider Woman. In the meantime, outside the cave, Bak Jing-jing is captured by Bull King, who cures her of the poison in exchange for revenge on Monkey.

Inside the cave, Joker finds Pandora's Box, which can open up a time portal when moonlight shines on it and when "Prajñāpāramitā" is chanted. He also overhears Guanyin's voice, telling him that he was actually Monkey in his past life and is destined to continue his quest to escort his master on the journey to the west. Meanwhile, Bull King and Bak Jing-jing enter the cave and fight with Spider Woman. Bak Jing-jing commits suicide after mistakenly believing that Joker has betrayed her love and fathered a child with Spider Woman.

Joker finds Bak Jing-jing and tries to save her by travelling back in time with the aid of Pandora's Box, but each time he arrives a few seconds too late to stop her from committing suicide. He finally manages to make it on time to prevent Bak Jing-jing from slitting her throat, but she sacrifices herself to save him from Bull King. Joker travels back in time again, but ends up going back in time by 500 years. Outside the cave, he encounters a fairy, Zixia, who confiscates Pandora's Box and sears three dots on the sole of his foot to mark him as her servant. This finishes Monkey's reincarnation.

Part 2

After travelling back in time, Joker learns more about his past life and reunites with his master, Longevity Monk, and his fellows, Pigsy and Sandy. However, he does not want to accept his fate as Monkey because he just wants to get back Pandora's Box and return to 500 years later to save Bak Jing-jing. Zixia falls in love with him after he pulls out her sword from its scabbard because she made a promise to marry the person who can unsheathe her sword.

Zixia and Longevity Monk are captured by Bull King, who wants to take Zixia as his concubine and feast on Longevity Monk's flesh to become immortal. Pigsy and Sandy try to rescue their master but he refuses to leave unless Joker promises to fulfil his destiny. Joker goes off in search of Zixia and rescues her, after which they flee from Bull King. In the ensuing fight between Joker and his companions against Bull King, Joker falls off a cliff and finds himself back in Waterfall Cave, where he meets Grandpa Buddha and Bak Jing-jing. Bak Jing-jing agrees to marry Joker initially, but she leaves later and tells him to save Zixia because she knows he's actually in love with someone else. Shortly after, Spider Woman comes to Waterfall Cave and kills everyone, including Joker. At the point of death, Joker realises the one he truly loves is Zixia.

Joker, as a ghost, hears Guanyin's voice inside the cave again, reminding him about his destiny. He decides to accept his fate and puts on the golden circlet, therefore transforming into Monkey. He returns to the world and rushes to Bull King's city to save his master and stop Bull King's wedding ceremony with Zixia. As he is now Monkey, he must relinquish all his human desires, including love, so he tells Zixia he is not Joker and pretends to scorn her.

Monkey and Bull King engage in battle. When Bull King realises he is losing, he uses Princess Iron Fan's magic fan to churn up strong winds that will blow the entire city towards the sun and kill everyone in the process. Monkey succeeds in stopping Bull King and saves everyone, but Zixia sacrifices herself to save him. As she dies, Monkey reveals his love for her and, as a result, his circlet tightens and causes him to feel extreme agony. In anger, he beats up Bull King before escaping together with his master, Pigsy and Sandy by using Pandora's Box.

Monkey wakes up later and finds himself in a cave, but with his master and fellows this time. Outside the cave, in a busy city, Monkey sees the incarnations of Joker and Zixia in a standoff on top of a wall. He uses his powers to possess Joker's body and gave Zixia a long and passionate kiss before leaving Joker's body. Joker recovers and is surprised to see himself locked in an embrace with Zixia, but accepts and continues the romance with her. They notice Monkey walking away in the crowd below and laugh at his appearance. Monkey does not turn back until outside the gates where he gave a final glance at the embracing couple and continues on the journey to the west with his companions.

Classics / Ashes of Time (1994)
Last post by FWN Adm - April 02, 2025, 04:35:01 PM
The film follows the main antagonist Ouyang Feng, from the novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes, when he is a young man crossing paths with other important characters. The movie humanizes Feng and depicts the events that lead to his descent into villainy. It sometimes completely subverts the intended meaning of the novel, as in Feng's copulation with his sister-in-law, which is depicted as sinister and taboo in the book but is shown as true love in the film; the longing for her serves as a common theme that echoes throughout the movie.

News & Media / UK actor Noel Clarke in court
Last post by FWN Adm - March 27, 2025, 08:57:58 PM

UK actor-director-producer Noel Clarke filmed a female actor's nude audition and kept explicit photos of women he slept with as "collateral", London's High Court has heard testimony from a Guardian witness in Clarke's libel claim against the UK newspaper.

Speaking on Monday (March 24), actor Johannah Whyte, whose stage name is Jahannah James, said that she found out in 2017 that Clarke had filmed her naked audition for the 2014 feature Legacy. Whyte told the court that Clarke had been like a "big brother" to her early in her career but felt "violated" and "betrayed" when she found out he filmed the audition. Clarke produced Legacy, a comedy drama directed by Dave Fairbanks and Marc Small, via Clarke's production company Unstoppable Productions.

Whyte said it was her friend Gina Powell, who had worked for Clarke at Unstoppable Productions, who informed her of the existence of the video. Whyte also stated she felt "devastated" and "disgusted" by the fact.

Clarke's barrister Philip Williams said his client denied the existence of the video and claimed Powell had a "financial grudge" against Clarke and his production company, and concocted the allegations with Whyte as a result. In her witness statement, Whyte recounted a conversation with Clarke from 2016 when she said he told her that he had slept with her friend Ivy (not her real name), who gave evidence on Friday.

"I said I did not believe him and told him he should not say that about my friend," Whyte said in her statement.

"He told me he could prove it because he kept a hard drive of photos and every time he slept with someone he would get them to take a photo of their private part to use as 'collateral', in case they ever wanted to speak about him or try to tell his wife, and he said he would save it and keep it."

Full story:

As a baby, Khitan-born Qiao Feng loses his parents and is sent to be raised by a couple from the Song Empire, which is at war with the Khitan-led Liao Empire. He grows up and becomes a powerful chief of the Beggars' Sect, utilizing martial arts in battles. However, he is framed for the murder of deputy chief Ma Dayuan by his wife Lady Ma, and is kicked out from the sect after they discover his origin as the Khitan people. He is also slandered of the murder of his adoptive father and mother. When he goes to the Shaolin Temple to visit his master, he finds that his master was dead. When he is hiding behind the Buddha statue in the Bodhi Temple, he is discovered by the head of the Shaolin sect, Abbot Xuanci, the head of the Bodhi Temple, Xuan Nan, and the head of the Discipline Temple, Xuan Ji. He is besieged by three eminent monks. When Xuanci uses one of Shaolin's seventy-two stunts, the "Great Vajra Palm", Qiao Feng inadvertently implicates Azhu, causing her to be seriously injured as Azhu is pretending to be a Shaolin monk Zhi Qing to steal the "Yi Jin Jing", the secret of Shaolin Temple's inner strength. Unexpectedly, he was hit by the "Dajang Fist" of the Shaolin leader Abbot Xuanci and was seriously injured. Qiao Feng believes that "the reason why she was seriously injured was all because of me, so I had no choice but to cure her."

Due to Azhu being heavily injured, Qiao Feng takes her to be healed by doctor Xue Muhua regardless of the fact that almost all kung fu master of were preparing to kill him for getting a good reputation of justice for them as they consider he is a devil that need to be get rid of. Once they arrive at the Heroes Gathering Manor, they are rejected as he was considered the son of a Khitan terrorist and an enemy of Song Dynasty and they think they are the embodiment of justice and need to kill Qiao Feng to make themselves as a hero of martial, Qiao Feng denounced doctors for being arrogant and losing their principle of treating life equally as a doctor. Soon, Qiao Feng decides to sacrifice his life to save hers. After Qiao Feng drinks with the Beggars' Sect to sever ties, he fights against them. Near the end of the battle, a wounded Qiao Feng is saved by a mysterious person who kills most of the assailants.

Azhu is healed by Xue Muhua because Xue is afraid of Qial Fung kill most of the kung fu master in Heroes Gathering Manor, who intends to keep her until Qiao Feng returns. Azhu ends up escaping, burning down Xue Muhua and his medical station in the process. Meanwhile, Qiao Feng starts to question his morality and origin after killing Song soldiers to save Khitan citizens during a sandstorm. Qiao Feng and Azhu soon reunite, professing their love for each other. Qiao Feng, who has renamed himself to Xiao Feng to reflect his true nationality, starts to search for the "Leading Big Brother", who was responsible for the ambush that killed his parents when he was a baby. Azhu goes undercover as Lady Ma, the true murderer of Ma Dayuan, and talks to Bai Shijing, who serves as her co-conspirator. Seeing through Azhu's disguise, he lies to her and tells her that Dali emperor Duan Zhengchun is the Leading Big Brother.

Qiao Feng and Azhu head to Mirror Lake, where they learn that he has conceived several children with several wives, with Azhu being one of the children. Upon learning this, Azhu stops Qiao Feng from killing Duan Zhengchun by disguising herself as him, causing him to unintentionally kill her. While mourning Azhu's death, Duan Zhengchun tells Qiao Feng that he is not the Leading Big Brother.

Qiao Feng, who ends up being accompanied by Azhu's sister Azi, confronts Bai Shijin and Kang Min. Soon, Murong family head Murong Fu and his army arrive, killing Bai Shijin and Kang Min. Qiao Feng fights Murong Fu while Azi fends off the army. At one point in the battle, Qiao Feng ends up nearly losing consciousness, but is able to get up and defeat Murong Fu after remembering his Buddha teachings when he was young. With the battle over, Azi and the arriving Beggars' Sect members watch as Qiao Feng rides away.

Some time later, Qiao Feng, as promised, takes Azhu's remains to the country side and buries her as his wife. He confesses that she will always be with him while giving her updates about her family including her mom moving in with her father then leaving again and Azi disappearing to roam the world. As Qiao Feng leaves, the scene changes to what life would've been if he and Azhu had left everything behind and raised cattle. Qiao Feng and Azi then ride horseback towards a potential hostile army.

In a mid-credit scene, Murong Fu is revived by his father Murong Bu. In a second mid-credits scene, Murong Bu visits Qiao Yuanshan, Qiao Feng's biological father, who survived the Leading Big Brother's attack, abandoned Qiao Feng, murdered Qiao Feng's adoptive parents and Xuanku, and saved Qiao Feng from the fight at the Heroes Gathering Manor.

News & Media / Hollywood actor Gene Hackman a...
Last post by FWN Adm - March 01, 2025, 07:44:55 PM
Legendary Hollywood actor Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found dead in their Santa Fe, New Mexico, home Wednesday, February 26, prompting investigating officials to call their deaths "suspicious." The bodies of Hackman, 95, and Arakawa, 65, were found in separate rooms, according to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office. One of their dogs was also found dead.

Hackman was an Oscar-winning actor who was best known for roles in "The French Connection," "The Conversation" and "Unforgiven." Arakawa was a classical pianist.

Here is what we know about their deaths: it remains unclear how Hackman and Arakawa died, and officials are looking into the circumstances. The local sheriff's office said Friday afternoon that the cause of death has not been determined. Officials have said no signs of foul play are apparent, and an autopsy found no external trauma to either Hackman or Arakawa. Hackman likely died on Feb. 17 — the last day his pacemaker recorded an "event," Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said Friday. "I think that is a very good assumption, that that was his last day of life," Mendoza said.

Toxicology tests were requested for both, and results are still pending, according to the sheriff's office. Both Hackman and Arakawa tested negative for carbon monoxide poisoning, Mendoza said. The Santa Fe City Fire Department did not find signs of a carbon monoxide leak or poisoning, according to an affidavit for a search warrant, and New Mexico Gas Co. found no evidence indicating there was a problem with the pipes in and around the house.

"Circumstances surrounding the death of the two deceased individuals to be suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation," according to the affidavit.

Hackman and Arakawa were found Wednesday afternoon after someone called 911 to report the bodies. Mendoza said Thursday the couple had been dead "quite a while." A maintenance worker was at the residence Wednesday to do work and grew concerned after the couple did not answer the door. The worker contacted a security officer in the subdivision, who went to the house and discovered the couple inside, Mendoza said.
