Crosswalk.com - "Two Brothers" Film Tracks with Wildlife Epic Predecessors The film plunges us into the world of tigers, encouraging us to root for the two brothers as they undergo painful separation from their parents and each other, as well as the confusion of living among strangers in a foreign world. All of the tigers were transported to Cambodia, where the film was shot, including the vine-covered Temples of Angkor, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Pearce filmed the part during a one-year sabbatical, traveling back and forth between Cambodia and his native Australia to be with his wife. www.crosswalk.com /fun/movies/1270291.html

Flying Tigers (1942) He had a bum ear due to an infection which rendered him physically 4-F. Sixth, the outdoor sequences of "The Flying Tigers" were not filmed in Northridge, California, but rather in the high desert area around Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the (successful) attempt to give the foliage a more "foreign" look. The 3 squadrons of the Tigers DID USE outdoor facilities as shown in the film. The Tigers were indeed mercenaries, paid by the kill, as well as by the month. www.imdb.com /title/tt0034742   (824 words)

Movie Review - Around the World in 80 Days (2004) - eFilmCritic The film's various slapstick sequences at least afford a few cheap laughs, but nothing ever rises to the level of inspired. While Fogg rescues an Indian woman from being burned alive as part of an outlawed ritual in the novel, the film's love interest is a gratingly perky French woman who is along for the ride from near the beginning. The barrage of cameos, intended to ape the 1956 version of the film, grow tiresome, as do the cutesy historical references (the Wright Brothers selling bicycles, for example - and what were they doing in the Arizona desert anyway?). www.efilmcritic.com /review.php?movie=10010&reviewer=385   (819 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Video: Blue Tiger [1994] As the film progress' Virginia gets a large tattoo of a red tiger on her back because there is an old chinese saying that the blue tiger will seek out the red tiger. This film kept me enterained from start to finish with some slick shoot outs and virginia's hunt to find her son's killer, a twist in the story keeps an otherwise straight forward revenge thriller from being to predictable. All she see's of the killer is the tattoo of a blue tiger on his chest she vows revenge and sets about tracking him down. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004CPKD   (819 words)

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Because hundreds of Hong Kong films in the 1950's centered around the heroic feats of these famed Chinese, anti-Ching, anti-government heroes (mostly two groups of individuals: The 10 Tigers of Shaolin and the 10 Tigers of Canton), it drew the anger of Communist China. When I say groundbreaking, I don't mean the film is totally brand new, you've never seen anything like it before, or it's the best martial arts film ever, because for those of you who truly know Hong Kong film, you've seen similar films hundreds of times before, made in the late 1970's and early-mid 1980's. As the kung-fu and guo shu films started to lose their luster, Jackie Chan came along with PROJECT A (1984) and more officially with POLICE STORY (1985) and created the wu da pian (fight films using martial arts), in which he combined athleticism, martial arts and dangerous stunts wrapped in more contemporary settings. crouchingtiger.ubi.com /qanda.html   (1764 words)

Dumbo (1941) There's a beautifully sad scene where he is reunited with his mother, they caressing trunks through the bars of the cage, while the shot cuts away to all the other animal families asleep in their cages - rocking kangaroos, swinging gorillas and lazily stretching baby tigers. There are times the film is so beautiful it is heart-rendering - Dumbo looks so forlorn and cute he frequently completely melts one's heart. Alas it's one of the less revived and re-released Disney animated films today, mainly because it only comes in at a rather slim 64 minute running time. www.moria.co.nz /fantasy/dumbo.htm   (463 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Iron Monkey at Epinions.com Wong Chi-Ying was the founder of the legendary Po Chi Lam school and was one of the members of the Ten Tigers of Kwangtung (Canton); a group that has been the subject of several Chinese motion pictures. Although the film's U.S. advertising makes it sound as though it is the latest work from Yuen (the choreographer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "The Matrix"), the film actually pre-dates both of those films. In almost all Cantonese movies that are set in the Ching dynasty (remember that Hong Kong is a Cantonese-speaking island with deep cultural ties to Canton), the Chings are the villains and the anti-Ching activists are considered the patriotic heroes. www.epinions.com /content_42153447044   (453 words)

Ten Tigers of Shaolin (1978) Ten Tigers of Shaolin marked the first notable film to feature these heroes and its surprising to see that master action director Lau Kar Leung, a kung fu student four generations removed from Wong Kai Ying was not involved. The Tigers strike back by using an elaborate and ridiculous scheme of having Chu Sang (Michelle Lai) pose as one of the Emperor's daughters in order for her to stay at the home of San Pao and frame him for kidnapping. Premise: The righteous Ten Tigers attempt to uphold justice and protect the innocent in a rural Canton town where the local magistrate and a band of crooked fighters plot to destroy the ten heroes. www.kungfucinema.com /reviews/tentigersofshaolin.htm   (453 words)

Tigers and Dragons book proposal Sequences depicting the training process in excruciating detail are the center of interest in many martial arts films; especially in the unarmed combat pictures that came to define the genre for fans in the West during the “kung fu craze” of the 1970s. The first works of fiction about Chinese martial heroes date back to the 3rd century, and the oldest surviving Chinese feature film, made in Shanghai in 1925, is a silent swordplay tale. The soul of the wuxia movie as a genre is closely bound up with the culture of the martial arts schools and the Peking Opera companies that molded its creators and performers and, in a sense, even its characters. www.geocities.com /hungry_ghost_2000/proposal.htm   (4157 words)

Airport (1970) After filming was completed, the aircraft returned to Flying Tigers and was later sold, going through various owners before meeting a tragic end while on an approach to landing accident on 21 March 1989 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Trivia: The real star of the show, the Boeing 707 (a 707-349C, serial no. 19351 [503rd 707 off the production line], originally registered N324F), was leased to MCA/Universal Pictures from Flying Tiger Line (now merged with Fedex) for the filming of the exterior shots.

Demetrius and the Gladiators Blessed with some memorable performances, in particular Jay Robinson's amazingly wild performance as the deranged Caligula this film captures beautifully all that was unique about this period in Rome's history while still including the conventional love story element. So well staged are they that at times it really looks like Victor Mature is actually fighting with real tigers during the famous scene here he confronts a group of them in the arena. Caligula orders an immediate search for the robe which is still in Rome and when the house where Demetrius is staying is searched the simple peasant girl Lucia (Debra Paget), is attacked by the soldiers trying to conceal the robes whereabouts. www.dvdvan.com /info/B000056AXZ/Demetrius_and_the_Gladiators.html   (1676 words)

Untitled Document Ron Haviv had to outsmart the militia leader Arkan to keep the film of his men and their victims during the attack on Bijelina in the spring of 1992. Tensions were high as reports and rumors spread of Serbian plans for what would eventually be termed ''ethnic cleansing.'' Zeljko Raznatovic, the gangster turned paramilitary leader known as Arkan, stormed into the largely Muslim town with his Tigers militia, and the carnage began. The image is stark, one of the most enduring of the Balkan wars: a Serb militiaman casually kicking a dying Muslim woman in the head. www.bloodandhoney.com /nyt.html   (852 words)

DVD Review: Elektra (2005) Elektra is an action movie following the 'dead' character from DareDevil, clad in red leather and wanting to kick some ass. Other than that, it's a lot of EPK stuff, and a few minutes of Rob Bowman, talking about a few specific scenes from the movie.

For Love of the Game The film takes place over the course of the final game of the season, a game which means nothing to the Tigers, as Chapel reflects upon the events of the past five years.

Ice Age film review But life in the Ice Age was never simple and before long they attract the attention of a pack of mean sabre-toothed tigers who all fancy the idea of a mammoth sized meal. This wiry oddball of a creature tirelessly flits about throughout the entire film, desperately scrambling to locate a safe place in which to stash his one and only acorn. Set against the onslaught of the Ice Age - and a world filled with wonder and danger - the story revolves around three characters: Manny, an acerbic woolly mammoth; an irreverent, unsocialised giant sloth called Sid; and Diego, a scheming sabre-toothed tiger. www.tiscali.co.uk /entertainment/film/reviews/ice_age.html   (472 words)

User Community In addition to creating the four main characters that star in the film, the team also used the software to model and animate human characters as well as tigers, sloths, rhinos, dodo birds, wolves, and glyptodons. According to Travers, the Blue Sky team began working on Ice Age about three years ago, and they relied on Maya running on SGI Octane and Octane 2 workstations to handle all the modeling, animation, and effects creation in the film. As they scurry to save themselves from the deadly elements of the impending Ice Age, the animals find a lost human child, and they reluctantly join forces to save him and return him to his father before it's too late. www.alias.com /glb/eng/community/customer_story_details.jsp?itemId=1800007   (1141 words)
