First Jackie Chan movie!

I know I know, how can one not have seen anything staring Jackie Chan before! I am very very late lol but I’ve been getting into martial arts movies recently. I received my copy of Magnificent bodyguards today. It is the 3D version by 88films. I really like the packaging and the contents and the movie was great to watch in old school 3D Anaglyph. It was a fun movie to watch!

Can you recommend any other great movies? I have yet to watch anything with Bruce Lee in either. I enjoy 88films and arrow video. Let me know if there are any other labels I should check out.

Here are some photos of magnificent bodyguard along with my other films in my collection! My movie collection is a bit all over the place at the moment as I don’t have a dedicated Asian section yet.

Where can I watch Asian films online? Trying to find One Million Yen Girl (2008) !

77 Upvotes

Sorry if this has been asked before but I just can't find anywhere.

I've been searching forever for One Million Yen Girl (2008) with Yu Aoi online but all there is is a horrible quality version.. I would buy the dvd but I can't get that either!

I have this a lot with Asian films and it sucks because I just end up not watching it, so does anybody have any recommendations on where to find more obscure Asian films? I'd be super grateful thankyou!

MAI (Vietnam, Netflix, May 2024)

39 Upvotes

Released this week and very highly recommended. It's heartwarming and romantic. A hard working single mother meets a charming smooth talker several years younger. The ML is quite easy on the eye too, btw. It's not all smooth sailing and there's a few gritty scenes. If you've had a rough day or week, this movie might be a very relaxing 2 hours for you. You'll Like It. 😎

Please help finding a Japanese film I watched on a plance once.

22 Upvotes

I watched a Japanese Film on a plane. It involved a couple that met in a coffee shop/bakery (I can't remember which it is) in a small town and they start meeting there at the same time everyweek. They fall in love through their meetings and on the day that the man was going ask her to marry him, she stopped coming. The man was from Tokyo and he had to move back to Tokyo. (I don't perfectly remember the details but it was something like that) And after e few years he had to return to the small town for some reason. He passes by the coffee shop/bakery and remembers the woman he met here. He somehow tracks her down through her best friend or the barista or someone in her life and finds out that she was in an accident the same day he was going to ask her to marry him and has amnesia and remembers nothing. And I don't remember what happens after that but I think it was an unsatisfying ending like it just ended like that or something. I watched this film a year ago in a plane and I can't remember the name or find in online for the life of me. Please help!

Accurate cleavage in Curse of Golden Flower?? I’ve never seen an Asian film before where women’s dress is so similar to Jane Austin style British period dress. It was nominated for an Oscar for costume design but I’m curious if it was historically accurate. It’s set in Tang Dynasty if that helps.
