…as most old school martial arts / chop socky film fan well know, the background music of many of the classic martial arts films from the 70′s & early 80′s, is borrowed from other films (especially American films), or synthesizer instrumentals. I am looking for the title of a piece of music from Jackie Chan’s classic film, “Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow”. Remember the scene where the old master, whom Jackie’s character was kind to, left him a book with some martial arts teachings? Then he goes out to a stone court area, in the back of his house, and finds the foot steps for a kung fu routine, marked off in chalk? And as Jackie’s character attempts to practice the moves in the book and the chalk markings, the background music is a piece of synthesizer music written by the Euro-synthesizer rock group Tangerine Dream, which I had heard before…..but to this day, cannot remember the title. Rather than drastically buying the entire TD library, perhaps someone out there can help!!!!!!

I really found grindhouse to be a moronic film that was soooooo desperate to be original it was just lame. I mean a girl with a machine gun leg. Why is that cool? Its weird , but that doesnt automaticly make it cool. Then they use the fact that everything looks like it was fake as a gimic saying its an “omage” to old film styles. I dont go around trying to sell anyone the original xbox as an “omage” to how kick butt the 360 is. I mean they pretty much just come out and say this film has no worthwhile plot or anything of the sort its just killing. Anyone else this that thats lame? I mean unless its creative (not weird I remember when people could see the difference) just mindless killing really doesnt interest me. I mean in kung fu movies the movement and the action is very original and artistic where as this is just mindless stupid crap. They were trying to mimic crappy movies when they though of that you know. Who else thinks that this movie is just a waste of time.
To the Quinton Tarintino supporters:
Your not getting what Im saying. I know its an omage to old movies but jesus it looks stupid as hell. I can appriciate a good action scene as much as the next guy and by no means do I give a crap about mainstream movies (I mainly stick to kung fu movies) but its just that I really dont see what anyone could possibly see in it. I mean all it does is something different. Now that would be good if the the different thing wasnt lame or anything but it was and its just a bad movie idea. I cant stand this crappy movie being in existance I never hear the end of it (I watch AOTS) and from what I’ve seen everyone loves it there, thank god normal people see this movie isnt cool, or a cute omage or anything but just a retarded mutated mass of crap.
To the last poster:
Your confusing me you say you like creativity but this film seems to go out of its way to be bland and boring. I really didnt think the action was very impressive either. But honestly I never really liked quinton in the first place. Its just so lame and overglorified. I mean come on kill bill what in the hell made that cool? the fact that it had a boring plot mediocre action and bad bad bad music

What are your rituals before a big soccer or football game or any athletic event? Loud music? Sex? Meditation? Sleep? Watch more film? What do you do to get into the right frame of mind?

I’m looking for the title of this movie I saw on MTV, a couple of years back. It was some sort of asian kung fu type film with hip hop star voices such as Andre 3000, Method man and others. I distinctly remember every time the main character was getting into some sort of fighting situation an instrumental version on the song Salt Shaker by the Yin Yang twins would start. I appreciate the help!
