Black Mask

Today's offering: Jet Li's Black Mask.
The version of the film I have is the one that you buy at future shop for seven bucks that only comes with thte english overdub, and I have to say I'm thankful for that. Here's why: this movie is silly. There are plot holes, logic holes, bullet holes, and several other kinds of holes in this movie. Several people have their limbs severed with CDs thrown at high velocity, and the big bad boss looks like Ozzy Osbourn circa the "Momma I'm Coming Home" video. Had the orriginal Chinese track been availible I would have definitly watched it listening to the Chinese and reading the English. The reason this would be a bad thing is that I probably would have tried to take the movie seriously, and that act could easily cut the enjoyment factor of this movie in half. Or thirds. You'd still have Ozzy. He's fun in any language.
Next movie I watch I'm gonna take notes.

Total: 44
