Of course though, if your in the mood for some nicely choreographed MA fight scenes, couple with complete and utter fiction, you won't do much better than this: Great film, shame it's a load of bollocks though...LOL...
im definelty gonna watch the 2 bruce lee episodes i love bruce lee!!! and i'll probably behind the scenes of extreme martial arts.. i remember watching that a long time ago. i enjoyed that alot.
If they just explain how they filmed XMA, then I'll just skip that. I'll try and watch all the other stuff though. If I can remember. PL
Its just a shame that they are not re-showing "Way Of The Warrior" or "Conquest: Secret Weapons Of The Ninja" anytime soon. I will keep 'em peeled...
Who needs a T.V Guide while I got honest_John! But I have to add this, I'm a Canadian who dosen't get these channels! and if I did, I can't afford it!:cry:
Ep, that's terrible. Sorry about your economy up there. Hey, why don't we tape them and send them on up? You use the same kind of VCR format right?
I'd tape em if I got those channels too. Unfortunately, right now I have the choice between a new gi and a few extra cable channels.
Thanks! Please tape it for me, we all have the same VCR's in North America, and I'll pay for the shipping in Canadian Curency. 1 American $ = 1 Canadian $, I think I got the math right!
looks like good viewing but i havent got digital to watch most of them. i wonder if i can get the mother to get digital just for the MA programs?
You can get a warriors journey on dvd, with a special edition of enter the dragon. I really wanted to see that XMA thing, especially because I do anatomical science at uni. Does anybody know if it's gonna be re-run in England? I can't find anything on it.
At first I thought this was going to be another thread promoting some lame teen drama like Black Sash... I've seen this a few times before. It was actually pretty good (if it's the one I remember). It gets a lot into the physics of MA and MA weapons.
I know it's abit late now, but on tuesday they shows the Paris Open Olympic Qualifications on British Eurosport. Did anyone catch it?
Most definitely... :love: And I liked the fact that they were using Bagua as the MA for the premise. But holy crap, I haven't seen such bad writing since...well since the last teen melodrama that came out...
These ARE for the UK networks, sorry guys. I assumed that my location of SE Enlgand would give that away, but once again all that assume has done is made an ass out of u and me...lol
