Once Upon a Time in China 2 is the greatest movie ever made. - VGF

Think about it...

Wong Fei-Hung beats up the White Lotus clan, Jet Li fights Donnie Yen, a joke about eating dog meat, Yuen Woo-Ping choreographed, Tsui Hark directed, a great storyline that is a masterpiece of historical fiction, not to mention that it has "Nan'Er Dang Zi Qiang" playing in the background whenever Wong Sifu gets in a fight. A masterpiece on all levels.

Did Orson Wells kick the **** out of that many people in Citizen Kane? Did the Godfather move along at such a thrilling pace? Did the dude in the Shawshank Redemption get to meet Dr. Sun Yat-Sen and learn kung fu from Wong Fei-Hung?

Actually, The Godfather did move along at such a thrilling pace, so there, nyah.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I make it a point to fall asleep whenever the Godfather is on. Not that it's a bad movie, it's one of the most well-done movies ever made, but I'm tired of stupid hicks thinking that I've seen every gangster movie because I'm Sicilian.

Really? I've never gotten the gangster-movie stereotype, just the actually-a-gangster stereotype.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Some of the best gangster movies don't focus on Sicilian/Italian Americans, anyway. Two prime examples are Once Upon a Time in America and Miller's Crossing.

(And John Woo's triad films).
