Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny - Trailer has been added as a related post - related requested by newtboy.

I never cared for these films. There are so many, greater eastern films of fantasy and action.

Still! Yay sequels?

I don't understand.
When you say you never cared for "these films", what do you mean? You could not be referring to just the two crouching tiger hidden dragon films, because you haven't seen the second one, it's not out yet. Are you referring to Chinese films made for American audiences in general, or something else?
If you mean Crouching Tiger specifically, I'll disagree with that opinion. I thought Crouching Tiger #1 was great, and I also quite enjoyed House of Flying Daggers, which was a bit similar to me.

That said, my first choice of Chinese fantasy action films (that I've seen) would be Holy Weapon aka Hopy Weapon aka Holy Shit! Now that was some good insanity Kung Fu, and included a flying all virgin Kung Fu version of 'crippletron' (a bit like Voltron, but instead of a giant robot made of spaceships or other smaller robots, it's a giant person made out of regular people) and a human Cuisinart named Super Sword. Now THAT was some insane awesomeness.

You know, you'd think since they are making the sequel they would have the original on Netflix, but no. Time to fire up the torrent client.

I still don't approve of this being in english, but at least the terrible music from the previous trailer is gone.

OMFG.

I can't believe I didn't even notice they were speaking English.

Yeah, I'd prefer to hear it in Cantonese (or Mandarin) and read subtitles, but it's made in America for an American network with an audience whose vast majority despises subtitles.

Don't like the theme overall: "This magic sword gives you the power to conquer all!" Nah. But of course I still really want to see it (though not enough to subscribe to Netflix again).

What's wrong with you?

It looks like this flick isn't doing well which I wasn't surprised.

But, at least in the first one, the sword isn't 'magic', it's just stronger and lighter than other swords. If one has no sword skills, the sword does nothing for you.
