Funny you should pull this thread back up Spunjer because i was about to do it myself.
I will admit to knowing little to nothing about Chinese weapons so i cannot attest to the accuracy of what is depicted, but i just watched House of Flying Daggers from the same folks who brought us Hero and it is just fantastic. Beautiful, poetic and tragic with a whole lotta cold steel.

I haven't finished exploring the whole thing yet . At least with the uncut version the movie finally makes sense .  I was watching The Man Who Would Be King last night ; what a fine movie that is ! |

The Director's cut is a whole different movie ; about an hour of very important (to the story) material was left on the editing room floor .
This new version is how Scott wanted us to see the film . I feel stupid saying this but I never really checked the second disc in the first DVD release .

Cemetery man; a light hearted zombie romp from France or Itally (I don't remember which). Most super-bad-ass shovels ever. They make the thing Tuco was considering eviscerating blondie with in The Good The Bad and The Ugly look like a garden trowel.

I love the swords in Ashok a Bollywood (Mumballywood
 ) movie with many extras who seem to have brought their own swords. The only really bad one is the one held by Ashok himself.Josh |
