Author Topic: Iron Monkey JC Cowles Film Handler Posts: 77 From: St. Paul, MN Registered: Jun 2001 posted 10-12-2001 11:37 PM                     Ok, so it's a 1993 movie trying to capitolize on movies such as the Matrix and Crouching Kitty, Hidden Winged-Elephant. Regardless, I thought this was a good release for the US action starved audienences. It really doesn't matter if it's subtitled--there plot is pretty lame IMHO. But for those who just want to see cool martial arts fighting, this movie is amazing to see.  |  IP: Logged Joe Beres Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 606 From: Minneapolis, MN, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-15-2001 07:43 AM                     JC, It doesn't sound like you've seen the original release, but is it true that they replaced a lot of the music with heavy metal/industrial type songs? By the looks of the trailer, they did, but I am hoping that they haven't.  |  IP: Logged JC Cowles Film Handler Posts: 77 From: St. Paul, MN Registered: Jun 2001 posted 10-17-2001 02:28 AM                     That was just the trailer...trying to Americanize it so as to hide it's a foreign-language film...an OLD foreign film at that.  |  IP: Logged
