[kaleyboy]

33, but I feel much older!

[Yi-Long]

I'm 95, but my liver is 17 and my hairpiece is 34...

Nah, I'm 32. And if it's really true that I'm the (lazy, less ambitious) reincarnation of Bruce Lee, I probably just have a few months left to live.

[Markgway]

I'm 29 (that's 196 in Dog years!)

i think it's more not knowing of them i got some people into the mostly from going on about them all the time but once i was shocked that someone was into but he is in my Martial arts class but he likes the newer films more another of my friends watched new Hong Kong films because he speaks Cantonese & goes to Hong Kong alot because his Grandmother lives there & he his family speaks at home but talk to me in English but he was a Bruce Lee fan & so it easy just to lend him some older Hong Kong films & he doesn't need subs if it's in Cantonese in fact he saw Police Story with the English dub & stop watchin it but i lent it to him & then he liked it he's a non-Martial artist by the way. also it's a different culture that doesn't help & they don't make theses films anymore.

[Monica Haynes]

Ya'll better watch that Teako dude, he will tell the whole world your age when you're not looking!:angel:

[The Silver Fox]

Teako and KFB, I have Bruce Lee magazines dating back 35yrs.
Been watching since I was 6-7yrs old.

:yociexp102:

[vengeanceofhumanlanterns]

I'm 40 years old. Never really thought I'd make it this far along for some reason. Thankfully my wife can appreciate my NEED (not just desire) to watch these films. She can actually appreciate the better made ones, japanese and chinese.

[Kwok Choi]

Will be 45 in October.Started watching Kung Fu movies in cinemas at the age of 7 (there was no certification/censorship in my neck of the woods).have never looked back since and I'm still trying to keep up to date though I prefer not to comment much on movies made within the last 10 years.I was lucky enough to grow up in the golden age of Kung Fu Cinema and therefore viewed many classics upon initial release,delayed release,re-release or re-run.
The best period for me was 1971 - 1980 (some 60's films where shown in this time frame like One-Armed Swordsman and The Return Of The One -Armed Swordsman)
In the 80s I enjoyed the Jackie Chan/Sammo Hung/Yuen Biao collaboration and appreciated the D & B films plus some Jet Li movies up till Fist Of Legend.The Ninja era was ok (not those awful mishmash) and the Alexander Lou films were cool.
We hope to continue supporting Kung Fu movies and wish they go back to basics.

[KyFi]

I'm 41. I got my start watching the Shaws on "Drive In Theater" on a NY cable station in the early 80's, when I was in my early teens. I kind of got out of the genre through most of my twenties, and along with that, got a bit out of shape. In the mid-90's though, I started going to a lot of Hong Kong movie nights at Boston-area theaters, and got into the Chow Yun Fat movies, and some of the New Wave wuxia stuff. This led me to rediscover old-school, and also to start studying Chinese martial arts under a good teacher and to get back in shape. Then, with the remastering of the Shaw library, the floodgates opened as far as my picking up old-school DVDs!

I now enjoy the genre more than ever, I think I get more out of the movies now---and they also motivate me to keep up with my training.

[thekfc]

Will be 45 in October.

You are temporarily the old master - until someone come & take the staff away from you.. :p

[Li Ho]

I'm this many*holds up 4 fingers*years old.Believe it...Or not.

[KUNG FU BOB]

You are temporarily the old master - until someone come & take the staff away from you.. :p

I know of an older member than 45, but they have to out themselves if they so desire.

[Tosh]

I'll be awaiting the big 4-0 in a year and a half, probably still act like I'm in my 20's though:angel:. Glad to see some of the younger generation digging these flicks.

[tantao3,son of tantao2]

...looking at the posts here in kung fu fandom i always thought most users were between 5- 11...;-(((
myself 45..."started" in the second half of the seventies...

[jiujitsu77]

im 28. samurai sunday on wgbo 66 chicago changed my life at the age of 7. training since i was 8 (on and off). wouldn't trade my love of kung fu films and culture for the world, no matter how much i get into or train in mma

[Markgway]

i think it's more not knowing of them i got some people in2 themmostly from going on about them all the time but once i was shocked that some1 was in2 but he is in my MA class but he likes the newer films more another of my friends watched new HK films cos he speaks Cantonese & goes 2 HK alot cos his Nan lives there & he his family speaks at home but talk 2 me in English but he was a Bruce Lee fan & so it easy just 2 lend him some older HK films & he doesn't need subs if it's in Cantonese in fact he saw Police Story with the English dub & stop watchin it but i lent it 2 him & then he liked it he's a non-Martial artist by the way. also it's a different culture that doesn't help & they don't make theses films anymore.

I know you're a youngster... but please spare a thought for us "old farts" who struggle with text speak. It takes only a little bit longer to type out a coherent, grammatically correct post. Thx.

[jrcma]

I know you're a youngster... but please spare a thought for us "old farts" who struggle with text speak. It takes only a little bit longer to type out a coherent, grammatically correct post. Thx.

you say that but you just ended that with "Thx" it's only stuff like ing cut to in or someone cut to some1 or into cut to in2 ect

[Drunken Monk]

I'll be 27 next month. I guess that makes me 26. I'm envious of you "oldies" that have grown up with the genre and had the ability to check some classics out when they were new to the world.
I also respect our senior members for staying with the genre and passing their knowledge on.

[Poelie]

So far I win: 49 years old!! No problems except when I've been drinking (alcohol, that is). The day after gets more difficult to handle the older I get...

[jrcma]

im 28 years old and i use ps3 controller to type not keyboard results in lots of editing. I have shown kung fu movies to younger generation, all they want is neat looking cgi. Im going to try and get my younger cousin into kung fu flicks, seems the genre is coming out of it's deep sleep so now or never.
you telling me about you using a ps3 control maybe i'm i'm not finding it as hard but i'm using a "wiimote"
in fact i was put off by films with cgi when i first started watching these films.

[GoldenFist]

Hey jrcxma, I was 15 eariler I turned in march.It's good to see someone else on here who shares the passion as me. Yeah cgi turns me off too.

[HyperDrive]

I am 23. A lot of people I've met don't mind watching Kung Fu movies. Some know the usuals like Jackie Chan, Jet Li and them. All know Bruce Lee.

[jrcma]

Not all younger generation hate CGI, I know there many out there that would love kung fu movies but they just don't know about them yet because they have never been exposed to them.
I hate using PS3 controller, they seem to have a mind of their own since they will put words in there that you never typed sometimes, and much patience is needed when trying to complete a sentence.

"they will put words in there that you never typed sometimes" yeah i have the same on wii but i turned it off.

Do you think CGI could go to far so actors are not people?

[BATTLE AXE 45]

I'm 48,a geezer to most of you.Been watching kung fu movies since I was child.

[drunkenmaster]

I'm going to be 48 in November. Mentally I still feel like I'm in my twenties. If only my body felt the same way.:p

[WuxiaFan]

I'm 41 and I started watching kung fu movies on Saturday mornings on Kung Fu Theater when I was a teenager. I look forward to watching my movies with my kids once they're old enough, but that will be several years away. My wife is not a fan, but does like some movies like CTHD and IRON MONKEY.

[Markgway]

you say that but you just ended that with "Thx" it's only stuff like ing cut to in or someone cut to some1 or into cut to in2 ect

I have no idea what you just typed. 'Thx' has been an abbreviation of thanks for ages (and yes it was supposed to be ironic). There's really no need for 'in2' (which is a new one on me...) when into will suffice. I don't think this forum is the right place for it. Just my opinion.

Yeah I agree with Markgway. Not trying to come down on you J, but I find it frustrating too. Instead of getting the meaning of what you're saying, I wind up spending so much time just trying to decipher your "text speak". Give us older dudes a break, huh? :)

[Markgway]

Yes - you've hit the nail on the head, Bob.

I often skim through posts quite quickly, but when they contain excessive text speak I have to slow to a crawl and examine each word, which I personally find annoying. Maybe it doesn't bother everyone, but I felt it was worth mentioning in case it becomes more prevelant here.

Yeah, we're not trying to pick on you younger guys... we're just old and crotchety, with bad eyes. I mean, this last post was Markgway's 3,000 one for God's sake! Geez... you go Big M!:D And just so that people know a way's down the line, I'm not kidding- that was really his 3,oooth post!

[jiujitsu77]

hey jrcxma. just try to put periods in your paragraph there bro. ill be able to decipher it better. im used to text speak. i have a girlfriend who has a phone for a right hand. im not gonna get my panties in an uproar over this, but it i do want to hear what you have to say.

[TheGrimReaper]

I've just turned 31 last month - time flies quickly, however I feel like I'm 15 :) At least mentally :) I've been martial arts movies fan since 1983 when I watched Shailon Monastery, Hong Gil Dong (i'm not sure if this is the correct writing) and when in 1988 I saw Armour of God I was totally hooked up :)

@drunkenmaster - nice place you live in, I was on a trip to Breacon Beacon range long time ago and I love it :) Wales has a superb locations for outdoor activities :)

[David Rees]

Im 47, glad im not the only oldie here...XD
Yes i remember the good old days of the 70's where you could watch the latest releases in an old Chinatown cinema, and when VHS first came out and you was amazed that you could watch kung fu films in your own home, even if you did have to pay a fortune for bad quality fullscreen dubbed stuff...You kids today are spoilt...lol

[Mark Pollard]

35 and leaking more brain cells every day. That's why I started reviewing kung fu movies... so I could remember what the heck I had watched. It's true. I read my own web site. I'm waiting for Google to come out with a plugin for my brain before there's nothing left to stick it to.

:laluot_23:

[bengs]

27. Which is apparantly the year your body starts having problems...or at least it starts being, 'not what it used to be.' I should start going to a gym.

[jrcma]

27. Which is apparantly the year your body starts having problems...or at least it starts being, 'not what it used to be.' I should start going to a gym.

"Starts having problems" when your ill it has problems & when your well it has problems it's like you can't be happy all the time.

[bengs]

27. Which is apparantly the year your body starts having problems...or at least it starts being, 'not what it used to be.' I should start going to a gym.

no don't say that. no such thing as age, its just how well you can take care of what you've got.

[Fightingfist]

no don't say that. no such thing as age, its just how well you can take care of what you've got.

Yeh that is true.

[Karlos]

Ah well, age is just a state of mind.

In my head I'm still very much a teenager.

I'm 56, but I only got into kung fu movies in the 90s, so I don't remember the good old days. :(
I guess I don't win the gold here, but I am proud to say that I am 54, eight months younger that Fu Sheng, proud to say it because, he would have been this old!
When I first lived in Hawaii in 1960-1964, there was a Japanese station that showed lots of Samurai, and though my older brothers and I did not understand a word, we were fascinated.
Yes, I even watched the original airings of "The Green Hornet". Then we moved back to Hawaii in 1967, and we discovered the theaters, it was either the Empress, or Queen, or Princess theater, can never remember the name of it, in Chinatown and our love of Chinese kung fu cinema was born. My eldest brother began to study Kenpo, and he would teach his younger siblings what he had learned. 1971, we moved to Oregon, where it was a lot harder to stay in touch with Hong Kong. Thank God for Bruce Lee, he opened up the cinema world, at least through to the mid eighties, with theaters featuring him, and Shaw Brothers, and everyone else who was making the genre at the time. I saw "New One Armed Swordsman" a.k.a. "Triple Irons" at least three times at the drive in, "The Duel", a.k.a. "Duel of the Iron Fists" twice in the theater, just to mention a couple. I Took a vacation to Hawaii in '75, and blessed be, "Marco Polo" was playing at the big theater in Chinatown, I bought 8x10's in the lobby! of David Chiang, Ti Lung and Fu Sheng. If I can get the courage to go into the attic crawlspace, I think I can find them.
I have been studying Tai Chi for several years, and I am still learning, and it makes a world of difference in how young you feel.
Stephen Chow's attitude in "Shaolin Soccer" is positively spot on! that's the spirit to try and have.

[jmend1]

I'm 16 years old, been into Kung Fu and Asian Cinema for about a year. I cannot get enough of it, my favorite are the old school ones. Also Jackie's romp of action movies throughout the 80's were great too. I think I'll be watching kung fu and asian cinema for the rest of my life.

yeah same age as of this month me & you are the youngest on here, "I think I'll be watching kung fu and asian cinema for the rest of my life" as well. what got you into "Asian Cinema"?

[jmend1]

What got me into them was an old VHS I found in my house of Invincible Armor. I watched it, and I automatically fell in love with the genre. I've started my collection already, its fairly small though..only 20 movies. I hope to expand it greatly though.

[WhiteTiger1]
