Action Chick Flick

You guys know I like Kung Fu movies. Come on…don’t hate. These movies actually qualify as chick flicks. If you have seen other Asian films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or House of Flying Daggers, then you know that the best action scenes are between the women. Actresses like Michelle Yeoh are also martial arts experts who know how to handle sword. Also, these movies are beautifully filmed and feature lavish costumes and gorgeous landscapes.

Red Cliff is a visually stunning war epic by legendary action director John Woo. It stars Tony Leung (Hero, Hard Boiled) and Takeshi Kaneshiro (House of Flying Daggers). Red Cliff is an epic historical drama based on a legendary 208 A.D. battle, as two rebel warlords unite to mount a heroic campaign changes the face of China forever.

It’s a good movie! Clara makes a good point about the women getting to kick butt too in martial arts films. I like!
