Night Watch

Its not a asian movie :I

It was directed by an Asian guy, and based on a book by an Asian author. It's as Asian as many of the other movies posted here.

NO.

I've not seen so many of the movies which people have mentioned so far. On the other hand the movies I like are not in anyone's list. Do I need to watch more Asian movies or is it just that my taste is a lot different?

You watched some good movies, maybe try watching The Hero, Fearless, Once Upon a time in China I and II, IP man I and II. Matches with the movies you mentioned as they based on once real life chinese heroes :)

Thanks :-) I've watched all of them except for once upon a time in China but I didn't know they are based on actual heroes. (except for IP man)

China has a truly amazing history and I like it more than Japan's history and culture. (Maybe that's the reason I prefer these movies). Japan is great as well though.

You are welcome Alim, Once Upon a time in China is based upon chinese revolutionary Wong Fei Hung. See only Tsui Hark's Once Upon a time in China Part 1 and 2. Rest are crap. Chinese folklore is mysterious and awesome. From time to time i try to catch the good action adventure movies :)

P.S - Hope you've watched Jet Li's Fist of Fury, 36th chamber of Shaolin and Donnie Yens Iron Monkey too :)
