Yo, Keung. You a Casshern fan ?
If yes, then that makes you my new best friend.

Guesses:
-Roots and branches
-All The Way
-Seventeen Years

Nope to all of the above.

Hey, I also enjoyed Casshern. I gave it 3.5/5. Probably not enough to be your best friend, but hey.

Oh aye Tom. Thought Casshern was ace!

LD, I give up on this one.

Too hard!

Ooooo, just one more shot of those guys in pink jackets, and I think I'll get it!

Beijing Bycycle?

Nope, none of these.

Bobbi, it's pretty hard finding a screenshot that does not feature one of the characters, as the whole film focusses on them.

If you guys want me to reveal it, let me know. I'll post screenshots of another film if I get one point added to my total score. If Tom refuses, I'll just give another verbal clue.

Remember... Ken was pretty close with his guess.

Ahem...what ?!

You should be penalized for making it too hard, not rewarded.

Keep giving clues like: year, name of one of the actors, studio, stuff like that...

Ke Ke Xi Li: Mountain Patrol?

Knetan · Post by **Knetan** » 25 Mar 2006, 15:17

hey,

was already a guess I believe and even I know that's wrong.

the68monkey · Post by **the68monkey** » 25 Mar 2006, 16:57

And it's definitely not Beijing Bicycle.

What's the fun in picking a film you know nobody has seen

If somebody wins now, it will be because he/she wasted the most time going through listings of mainland China films that might possibly fit the bill. Rather pointless, I'd say.

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 25 Mar 2006, 17:15

Agreed, and I've complained about this sort of thing before.

I'm sorry LD but the choice of movie is ridiculous. Takes the fun out of the game when you have to google your way to find the answer. Although fair enough, you were pressured into selecting a difficult film by some wise-ass (who was that btw?).

I try and pick films that people have generally heard of (not necessarily everyone... but at least one other person on this board).

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 25 Mar 2006, 17:41

Stop pointing fingers, wise-ass.

IMHO:

If there are two reviews or more on this site:
http://www.moviereviewindex.com/

Then it's good enough to fit in the game.

I sent a link to Njaal with the screengrabs. He could possibly be the only person in the Western world who thinks they look familiar.

If the name of the film or actor comes to him, I'll let y'all know.

If LD doesn't end this soon I swear I'm gonna start posting obscure Taiwanese swordplays....

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 25 Mar 2006, 20:15

Sorry for being late. I was out to live my life a bit. If you browse back this thread, you'll see who wanted more difficult screenshots.

So... Tom is correct. I was actually looking for the correct title of the short film. Tom said "10 Minutes Older: The Trumpet", but that's just the title of the short film project. Chen Kaige contributed to this project with his film which is called "100 Flowers Hidden Deep". However, I give the award of guessing this title to Tom, as this will get him only 1 point, instead of risking him getting another 3.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 25 Mar 2006, 20:18

Just give me the exact correct title.

Gné ?!

-100 flowers hidden deep ?

(if I'm right I'm gonna kill you

)

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 25 Mar 2006, 20:20

Hey,

I edited my post above, Tom. Read it and tell me what we do now? 1 or 3 points for Tom?

Besides... the film has 4 reviews at the Movie Review Index.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 25 Mar 2006, 20:23

Read it and tell me what do we do now?

Whatever... I've already lost the will to live thanks to you.

HOW - THE - FUCK - are we supposed to find a short chinese film hidden among 7 short films ??

That's whack, dude.

Anyway, as long as I get my 1 point I'm happy.

*Working on a shot*
