Brotherhood of the Wolf

[Jiu-Jitsu-Dragon]

Hey i just picked this flick up on a whim i never heard of it before but i thought it was a pretty good movie and a good view how a country not normally associated with screen fighting (france) does it, to anyone who hasnt seen it i reccomend it and anyone who has im interested in hearing your opinions on the film

[The Running Man]

This isn't a martial arts movie, but it did have Philip Kwok doing choreography on it. I didn't like how they turned out really.

[teako170]

Highly enjoyed this film! Watched it several times.

Lush settings ... Intriguing storyline ....

...and some cool choreography thanks to our man, The Lizard.

Would recommend.

I thought this movie was only average, but I love the scene where the hero takes revenge for his friend. Blew me away.

[KUNG FU BOB]

It had all the elements I like: truly scary horror, adventure, mystery, martial arts, and romance. Oh yeah, and some smokin' hot ladies! Growl!

The 3 disc special edition extended cut exclusive to Canada is the way to go. There's a lengthy interview with Kuo Chui on there. He talks about how difficult it was working with lead actor Samuel Le Bihan in getting him to do the fight scenes while Vincent Cassell picked up quickly. Saw it in the theater. Loved it. Seen it several times since. There's also a video diary detailing the making of the film from start to finish among the many features. Something like 2 1/2 hours long if I remember right.

I really liked the film as well. Mark Dacascos was great, and the revenge scene mentioned earlier was my favorite part. Visually stunning film, and anything with Monica Bellucci is worth a look!

I've seen it once years ago and im not a fan of french films at all but this was pretty good. It's based on a real life story which is historical but also mythical and i like those sorts of storylines.
As said before Mark Dacascos and the action choreography is great

[The Running Man]

The 3 disc special edition extended cut exclusive to Canada is the way to go.

A recent US 2 disc release has pretty much all of the extras from that set as well, except the commentary which wasn't subtitled on the Canadian set either. I wonder if the recent US set has proper subtitles instead of the dubtitles from their first release.

[KUNG FU BOB]

The 3 disc special edition extended cut exclusive to Canada is the way to go.

Yeah, this is truly an amazing release. The only down-side for English speaking fans, is as The Running Man pointed out, the lack of subs for the commentary. But all the other extras are a delight!

[Way of the Dragon]

I love this film!

[Tosh]

Saw this in the theater too, I was blown away, wasn't expecting some awesome KF in there, then I found out the man - Kuo Chui did the fight scenes - no freaking wonder, someone tell me why this guy isn't getting hired, Dacascos never looked better, plus you can't go wrong with naked French hookers in a period setting.

Great, somewhat strange movie. The dub for this is as awful as it gets.

[Rebornman]

I watched this movie 7 times. I highly enjoyed it. Decent storyline, good fight scenes and a nice touch or horror.

[vismistananda]

Although this film didn't show what can Mark Dacascos can really do, this film is kickass, I love the storyline specially, including the timeline.

[butcher wing]

I loved the scene at the beginning when they show up in the rain when the girl is being beaten up. The slow mo shots were wicked and really made me stop and watch. Decascos then lays a beating. Awesome

[SimonMW]

The Canadian disc set is worth getting for the feature length making of documentary alone! There is a really cool bit shot on a camcorder where Philip Kwoks guys are messing around in a carpark or somewhere figuring out some moves for a fight. One of them, completely without wires, jumps up and runs along a few stunt guys chests! I'm going to have to watch it again now.

[The Dragon]

Monica Bellucci.

:p

[Li Ho]

Monica Bellucci.

:p

YUM YUM!!

I saw this in the cinema. and it's surprising how many people walked out when they realized it was subtitled :l

[SlothStyleKungFu]

I haven't seen Brotherhood of the Wolf since it was in theaters. I remember at first hating the blend of styles and influences (arty, period piece, kung fu, mystery, horror, foreign, pulp/comic book...) but about midway through I started warming to it becasue it was so all over the place that I found it admirable and ballsy.

Its one of those films where I know revisiting it, I'm either going to say, "This is crap" or "This is great," so maybe thats why I haven't given it another whirl and stick with my vague, middling, first viewing reaction.

[daisho2004]

I haven't seen this movie in a while so I dug it out and watched it last night, I have the extended Directors cut, and for a non HK movie this did have a good amount of M.A. in it. I think it was an excellent movie it had all the elemnets Horror, Action, Romance, Mark Dacascos was off the hook in it as well. And Monica Bellucci OMG! It was a shame the Director had to cut the beginning fight scene down and it was a great scene but he even said he felt it didn't tie into his movie.

[Rhythm-X]

Still no Region A Blu-ray - did Universal lose the rights to this film? As far as I know, all the StudioCanal titles formerly released by Criterion are now handled by Lionsgate. Could this StudioCanal film be stuck in a similar situation?
